Flowers For the Living

,. X. Patton, an S0-year-old farmer of Benton, ILL.,, at
tended his own funeral the other day. But he didn't re-
pose in a pearl-gray coffin. He sat very straight and
listened to what the preacher had to say. He enjoyed
the funeral and heard SO many appreciative things about
himself that he doesn't want to stage a bona fide funeral
for a long time.
Several weeks ago Patton learned that his relatives
and friends were planning a birthday party for him. He
asked if they would mind making it a funeral instead. He
explained that he wanted to enjoy it.
The idea isn't such a bad one at that. Of course
ministers would wear out their texts and funeral quartets
would feel like throwing their hymn books in the River
Jordan if every man, woman and child suddenly decided
that he wanted an eulogist service while he can enjoy it.
But when people are old, when they know for a GER
tainty that the long road is going to end around the next
bend, or the next, when their caravans are composed pref
ty much of memories, it is rather fine to let them know
that they have been appreciated as they came down the
pathway of the years.
Old men dream dreams Their period of visions is
over. When the wanderlust creeps into their hearts it
carries them through the tangled fields of long ago. The
supreme loneliness comes in knowing that there are few
people left who belonged to their questng yesterdays. It
is pitifully hard to realize that a world that has sent its
ships up toward the singing stars, and fathoms deep un-
der the sea, can't be much interested in what they have
done-or what they wished they had done.
Patton knows now that his friends and his COM
munity appreciate him, and that they are going to be 2
little lonely when he waves a last goodby. He knows that
they appreciate the fact that he has grown old cheerfully
and bravely, with a song in his heart and a lantern in his
hand. The rest of his life will be based on the happiness
that came at his funeral.
1t shouldn't be necessary to hold funeral services for
aid people in order to pay tribute. Some other name
should be applied to the method of showing appreciation.
But when a man or a woman is old, and a little lone
ly, it isn't any more foolish to let hy know that he was a
blessing to his generation than It is to wait until he is dead
and tell the public about it.

Thus equipped, he can retire TO
his cool bench-study, not far from
the mouth Of an air-cooling device.
He removes his faded straw hat,
revealing snow-white hair; his
mustache Is similarly whitened.
His linen suit appears In good on
dition. Did you not observe him
each morning brood over the
refuse containers, you might take
him for any commuter awaiting a
train.

gests what he has read durinr the

Having spent the morning doing
nothing, he Is now equipped to dis

Daily Health
Talk

One OF the most amusing per-
formances ever witnessed BY the
people or these United States, di-
rectly or in the movies, was the
croSs-country marathon promoted
by C. c. Pyle. Just what that was
planned to prove, or Just what
relationship 1t might have to the
general subject Of health, has not
yet become apparent.
One Of the difficulties with the
whole physical culture and ath-
letic movement has been the ere
alton of outdoor fanatics. mara
thon runners, hundred-mile pedes-
TRANS and similar enthusiasts who
believe that the road to health lies
In the exceptional performance
rather than in well-conducted and
suitably regulated physical ac-
tivities.
No doubt. the 1o0-mile alker s
a healthful person or he could not
walk 100 miles, but the average
man has little occasion TO walk
100 miles and does not need the
l00-mile equipment.
Man. like other domesticated
animals, did not always live in
doors. Modern investigations indi-
cate that a certain amount OF time
outdoors Is beneficial to health.
But outdoor exercise TO the point
Of overfatigue. OF irritating sun
burn, or Of undue exposure to the
elements Is likely to do as much
harm as good.
Various authorities have suggest
ed the amounts of muscular ac-
tivity desirable for persons of var
ious ages. Hetherington OF the
University of California suggested
four hours Of muscular activity mt
the age Of five years, five hours
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1931-09-20

from seven TO nine. six hours from
nine to IL. five hours from IL to
Is, four hours from Is to Is. three
hours from l6 to Is. and two hours
daily from IS to 20 as the proper
amelnts. williams states that one
hour should be given daily to ac-
tiyities involving the use Of the
large muscles of the body after 20
years of age, and that anything
less than that viii result in ply
steal deterioration. Man should
not live for the muscles alone.
