with the bowling game realize
that the slogan "One hour OF
Il bowling. the easy plan, to
make the world a healthy
man." is something more than Il mere

trunk of the body and the organs OF
digestion.

heavy ohjects---theSe have no direct
connection with health--but the de-
Nelopment OF the muscles of the trunk
of the body is a matter of vital nm
portance. Bowling does just that ana
does il in a manner that makes the
exercise a pleasure instead OF task.
