SUNYA.
People don't bore you. little Sis

is such a thing as genuine bore
dom. and 1t is at times a. whole
some and necessary reaction for
busy, serious adults. But it is
not necessary nor natural to be
bored by everyone at your age.
And your reaction is not boredom
its timidity.
You are eager to know about
life, but you haven't adjusted
yourself to it yet. You dread max.
ing that adjustment. There is a
little laziness in that dread, a lit
tie conceit and a great deal OF
fear. You mask 1t all under the

last, Sunya. In time this con.
tinnal evasion of people will work
great damage to your character.
without criticism you will grow
conceited. Without composition
you will grow weak. Without
contact with others you will grow
narrow, bigoted. unbalanced. Your
fear of others will glow upon YOU.
You will become morbid, sus-
picious, distorted.
Thousands of people have failed
in life because they. too, have
evaded 1t. They said they were
too sensitive" or too fastidious"
to mix with other people. The
truth il they were too lazy, COW.
ardly and conceited. Adjustment
was difficult, and sometimes en-
barrassing. So they did not learn
to adjust in the plastic years OF
their youth, and their "anti.social"
attitude hardened about them like
q shell.
Do not run away from people.
Sunya. Mingle with them. Find
beauty and wisdom and adventure
in them. Appreciate the joys of
solitude, but learn also the joy OF
communion. Remember this-you
cannot discover life in yourself
alone. You must find your life in
all other lives. You can only com
plete yourself as you merge with
other selves.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
g %. Q. a. !. Raj


TT seems that, way back II the
! seventies of the last CEN
fury the world went more or less
crazy on the subjects of exercise
and human endurance. Many
abuses. absurd upon their face,
were perpetrated. often with Grip
ping or fatal consequences. The
result was that athletics, espe-
cially violent exercise and endur-
ancs tests. received black eye.
And, like most objects with q
black eye. they have had and are
still having q hard time to set
back within the pale Of popular
approval
1t was even thought, az . re-
suit OF the abuses Of the Seven
ties" that athleticism might cause
insanity, and still more the lesser
nervous disorders. Now we know
that the strain Of modern pub
licity. competition, anxiety, public
adulation and the like may well
lead to q nervous condition, but
this is not related to the physical
exertion.
Competitive physical exercise
means a continuous overflow OF
nervous impulses to the muscles.
1t also means the exercise Of COM
pick processes involved in co-ordl
mating skilled movement. There
is also an expenditure of energy
in focusing attention. together
with excitement, apprehension and
the use OF skilled Judgment. This
may produce in i1ighly-strung peo-
pie a condition of nervous over
stress.
While all this Is true the fact
remains that, from ordinary quiet
healthy exercise, no possible harm
to the nervous system can arise.
But exercise, to be safe, must
be taken with little common
sense. Thus the influence OF
exercise upon digestion is bene-
fetal, but the danger Of violent
exercise Immediately after a
heavy meal must be remembered
Many people believe that ap.
pendicitis and duodenal ulcer are
more common in athletic young
men. There are some reasons for
this theory. The chief reason IS
10 be found In the contractlons
of the abdominal muscles, which
force these organs down into the
NEVIS an that the intestine says
and becomes distended, with a
tendency to give way. This is
especially true in persons In
whom there already exists either
a tendency to such abdominal dis.
placements or the displacements
themselves already have become
established.
There has been much anxiety
in times past on account of the
appearance of albumen or casts in
the urine Of athletes, but recent
work has made it quite clear that
these do not mean the presence
of disease. Any ill-effects OF
exercise on the kidney, even from
the most violent exercise, are
purely temporary in otherwise
healthy persons.
There does seem to be some
evidence for a greater liability OF
rowers to pneumonia. 1t may be
that an early stage Of phthisis
actually confers an athletic flair,
rather than the other way round.
On the other hand, It has been
proved that rcwers and crtcketers
have, on the whole, q longer life
than the average man.
