SECRETS OF
HEAL TIL
BY DR.. G. "A. 4. Reed

by Liz ~ A. - AeeSul
NoU cannot hut be interested
III what happens to you
when you take exercise, espe-
ciaIly violent exercise. Let me
explain it this way.
In q combustion engine. oxi-
dation precedes work; In
muscle, work precedes oxidation.
The muscle is q storage battery
working on energy previously
stored, and when exercise is over
that energy has to be restored
bv the consumption of oxygen.
Muscles actually contract with
out oxygen, breaking down sugar
into Tactic acid, and during the
recovery process the acid has to
be oxidised into carbon dioxide
or converted into sugar. The
amount Of oxygen consumed in
recovery is criterion OF the
degree Of activity of the muscle.
According to psychologists, dur.
ing lest, the intake of oxygen Is
about ESQ cubic centimeters per
minute; during violent exercise
1t may rise TO four liters per
minutes. When Splinter runs
100 yards in 10 seconds, 40
grams of Tactic acid accumulate,
t.g. for every stride taken, and
this needs 6h liters of oxy-
gen to break up. Nobody can
breathe in more than a liter in
10 seconds, and. as matter of
fact, most sprinters do not breathe
at all during a 100-yard race.
Thus, the runner ''gets into
az bt" for oxygen, borrowed on
the security Of Tactic acid. In a
longer race, where breathing
goes on. the amount of oxygen
taken in may be regarded as the
income. SO long as the security
remains adequate, by so much
may the expenditure OF oxygen
exceed the income.
The absolute limit, the largest
oxygen debt possible in the case
OF tie finest trained athlete, Is
20 Hters, corresponding to about
100 grams OF Tactic acid in his
muscles, an enormous saturation
10 them to endure.
Obviously a capacity for athleti-
cism depends on several factors.
A man may fail to be good run
ner because his oxygen intake Ia
small or because his oxygen re-
quirement is high, or because his
credit is poor. His oxygen re-
quirement may be extravagant be-
cause his movements are wasteful,
fault which training may eradi-
cate or reduce. 1t has even been
shown that a blister on the heel
causes a considerable increase in
the oxygen requirement. Security
as regards oxygen debt Is partly
constitutional and partly the re-
suit Of training, for it depends on
the capacity of the muscle to neu-
tralize, or to endure fatigue prod
ucts. The essential feature, how
ever, is the amount of blood circu-
lating per minute. and thus de-
ponds on the output of the heart
per beat and its rate of beating.
Before a race there Is tuning
up of the nervous system as ex-
element plays its part IN the run

They are at once a panacea to
men. q deliverance 10 women and
a boon to marriage. Without
them, few couples would live to-
getIler long enough to celebrate
their golden wedding.
Never, In the history Of the
world, were mems clubs such a
blessing to humanity as they are
today, when a man is surrounded,
north, south, east and west, by
women; and even his once sacred
haunts, the business office. the
barber shop, the tobacco shop, the
grill and the smoking car are
sweetly invaded by the persuasive
sex.
In his daily life, every man Is
practically smothered by feminin-
ity. He is shunted from the house
to the office by one woman, and
there taken in hand by another
woman. Women order his day,
keep tabs on his pursuits, pre-
scribe his diet, nag him. mother
him. spoil him, boss him, rule him
or emote over him.
No man is ever free from the
gentle feminine touch on the rei1ls
except when he escapes to the
sanctuary Of mems club.
Then and there, only, can he
BE HIMSELF, and get back to
his HE.ness.
There. only, can he stretch his
soul and express his masculine
opinion about things; put his feet
on the divan, throw his ashes on
the floor, eat all the things that
disagree with him, and. for a
brief while, feel once more like
the Lord of Creation!

 Among the more important mat ters brought up was the reading of the new constitution, which was ac- ccpted as read. X trend to change the clause concerning paying of in- s'irance to beneiciaries, to q sick benefit fund, was finally voted down after d prolonged discussion.

 It is expected that in view of the growth of the club, permanent club rooms will be established within the next few months. thereby giving the members opportunity to congregate oftrner to discuss current matters.
