ATHLETES LIVE LONGER

A short time ago some medical ar
ticles appeared which attempted to
show that the use Of athletics would
shorten life. A few instances were
cited as proof of the assertion.
While many people were probably
misled by these articles. q few earn
est investigators took the trouble Of
compiling statistics, not Of special
cases, but Of large numbers Of aver
age cases. BY taking the average age
at death Of the athletes who grad
uated from several of the larger coll
leges, they discovered a longer aver
age length of life than that Of the
average insured person. When we
consider that insurance companies do
not accept people who are suffering
from any serious disease, these fig
ures are even more important.
The death rate Of football men at
the age Of sixty was only 21.5 per
thousand, while the average insured
was 26.2 per thousand. The least
number Of deaths occurred among
those classed as athletes who used
exercises that are repeated great
many times. The best exercise ap-
pears to be roadwork, since the track
men or runners had a death rate as
low as 16.1 per thousand at the age
Of sixty compared with the average
insured mans rate of 26.2.
When one thinks Of physical culture
exercises, the usual picture brought
to mind is Of an athlete with bullying
muscles engaged in some feat of
strength. Outside of a few profess
sional strong men, It Is generally rec
ognized that large muscles are not
as important as endurance. This is
especially true for one seeking health.
Longevity depends upon the acqui-
sition Of the ability of sustained eff
fort.
OF special Importance to the health
seeker is the development of strong
abdominal and back muscles. Strong
muscles in front hold the stomach and
internal organs in position, and
strong spinal muscles hold the back
straight and keep the vertebrate in
their proper relation.
It matters little from which dis
order you are suffering, a training
and strengthening of your muscles
will help you in overcoming disease
and assist very materially in prolong-
ing your life. Physical exercises also
assist in attaining q wholesome ap-
pearance, and who is not DESTROYS of
a comeliness Of face and symmetry of
form?
I believe that everyone should en-
deavor to become interested in some
branch Of athletics. Only systematic
exercises can build vim, vigor and vi
tally. An hour a day given over to
physical exercises will add many years
to ones life and bring in daily re-
turns or health and endurance. One
OF the best forms of exercise is hik-
ing or walking. Those who are not
accustomed to long walks will do well
to start with q fifteen minute walk
q day and gradually increase the time
with distance each succeeding day. If
you seem to be all run down, a daily
