BEGINNING YOUNG IN THEARROW HEAT
 COUNTRY

This is what YOU may have heard described as the Arrowhead country, writes young cor. respondent. It is one of the finest recreationai places for children. In the winter time all the kids have some kind of hockey stick ana d pair of skates. There are some good nttle players here but how I hate to see them take a smoke right after hard fought game, as q good many of these youngsters do and they are as young as II, the majority belng apout 16. I myself brought up to think that sweets or candy are rather bad for young kid Only since 1 became follower or yours have learned the truth about that. find that a nckers worth of candy or any sweet is more refreshing after a strenuous effort in work or play than anything in the line of tobacco l believe it would be good thing for athletics if your teachings about the eating of candy or other sweets were more familiar to youngsters who are ambitious to get ahead in some such game. (B. J. M.)
 Yes, and probably it would be good thing for the health of lot of little boys who are old enough to vote but are not yet really grown up in character, if the physiology of sugar Tn nutrition and the pathology of tobacco excess were more generally known to the laity. The instruction given in the common schools about such matters is farcical-the controlling inter- ests see to it that physiology and so called health instruction in the schools shall be harm less and so the great mass of the population remains ignorant as ever
 Sugar in any form, whether in it's natural state in such foods as milk and fruits, or in its refined state, or in candy or cakes or ice cream or a sweetened beverage, is the ideal food fuel for strong, hard working muscles. Nothing else surely and so felleVe 1atlSue and restore the strength vigor and enduranca one has expended in hard game or any kind of strenuous musclar effort, be it work, play or just dull exercise.
 There isn't iota of scientific or sensible ground for the quaint notion that sugar or sweets of any sort cause a child to have bad teeth or in any way favor decay of the teeth. Nor is there the slightest reason for any intel ligent person to imagine for eating of much sugar sweets in any way favors the infesta- tion of the alimentary tract with worms.
 tc iYvok pin nf rho GbnIIl go easy on sugar sweets in every form, and that is the lazy, parasitic class, people who do not do any real muscular work to speak of, namby pamby children who are too nice or too delicate to play any actual games young snobs who are training for the neurotic life,t and those who are already obese or diabetic or both.
 All normal healthy young persons should in dulge freely in sweets. of course at the right time. No square meal is complete for healthy youngster unless there is a dessert containing plenty of sugar. such ice cream. cake, pie. sweet buildings.
 At the end of hard game the youngster who indulges in some good candy, bar of milk chocolate, dish of ice cream or whatever sweetmeat appeals to his or her taste, is doing the natural thing, the healthful thing, and it is bound to help in any wise athletic training. Candy fatigue exhaustion or pre- vents it. Tobacco merely dulls your sense of fatigue for the time being, but actually retards the natural process of recovery with rest.
