Secrets Of Health
By LOUIS E. BISCH


Although we may have rev.
elled in exercise when we we're
young, we all tend to become
lazy as adult years creep by,
dropping sooner or later even
the mildest forms of muscular
exertion.
I speak of exercise as mus
cular eXertion advisedly, be-
cause that's about what most
of us consider it; which is, of
course, all wrong! We should
not exercise merely to work our
muscles. People don't die of
diseased or worn-out muscles.
We really should exercise in or
der that our vital organs-those
contained in the chest and alb
dominal cavities-may not lose
their vitality.
What does systematic daily
exercise accomplish?
First, it speeds up the circu-
lation. This aids in the elimina-
ton OF the body's wastes, while
at the same time sluggish
organs and tissues are supplied
with more oxygen and nourish-
ment generally.
Second, the heart muscle as
such is strengthened by exer-
else. This not only comes in
handy when suddenly one de-
cides to run for street car;
it also means greater resistance
to all diseases that might lay
us low.
Thirdly, exercise increases
the appetite and aids digestion.
After exercise the digestive Sc
cretions flow more freely.
Fourth, exercise helps to
maintain the figure and keep
us supple in our movements. A
person who keeps up his exer-
else impresses others as posses
sing a dynamic personality.
In the fifth place, exercise
keeps the lungs healthy. BY
opening up air cells not gener-
ally used, the lungs become
stronger, so to speak, and are
better able to ward off colds,
bronchial troubles, pneumonia,
tuberculosis and like disorders.
Next, the heat-regulating
mechanism of the body is
greatly benefited by exercise.
The pores are kept working and
perspiration-again body waste
is freer. The body can there
fore accommodate itself more
readily to changing weather
and temperature conditions.
Lastly, we must consider the
beneficent effects of exercises
upon the mind. With exercise
we feel buoyant and full of
energy. Memory improves; our
powers of perception are
sharpened; imagination scars;
reasoning is quickened; opti-
mism instead of depression be-
comes the order of the day.
Exercise however, should
never be violent. It is doubt
full whether competitive sports
are good even for the young.
The object of exercise is not
to put a strain upon the sys-
tenn, but merely to get all the
machinery working at a little
faster than average speed.
Daily exercise is required for
maximum health, not merely
exercise every now and then.
The type INDUCED in doesn't

CHAPTER VIII
Leni's complete change swept
through Cavanaugh's warm
mood like a rush Of cold air.
Her smile dazzled him, but
suddenly, she seemed as re-
mote and unattainable as her
own moving photograph on a
silvered screen.
He knew women as men Of
his type inevitably know the
other sex, but there was a
fathomless quality in this
golden creature that filled him
with a schoolboy's sense Of
awkwardnesS. If he persisted
he had the uncomfortable con-
viction that she would begin
laughing at him and end with
Scorning. Already he had had
more from Leni Luneska than
he had any right to expect.
The devil of it was that she
had lit a flame that he could
not quench with the water Of
common sense.
She sat in the box again be-
side Douglas Gates, straight
and immobile as though a steel
skeleton within her flesh held
her body in place.
On the screen the. plot of the
photoplay fitted past her vision
like scraps of paper blown by
the wind. It was all utterly
meaningless now.
Where her heart belonged was
q motionless lump of cold and
heavy lead.
This is the end of everything
for me-" Leni Luneska told her.
self-"the end of everything"
The audience sitting en-
thralled by the picture were
merely so many living corpses.
Tomorrow Karl Kruger would
reach with his clutching hands
and strip her of all fame, all re-
Spect, all everything. With
her minds eye she saw what
would happen-the cancellation
of her contract, the burning
publicity, the mock sympathy
as she stood outside the barred
studio doors.
Douglas Gates leaned close to
her.
"A great picture, DEAR" he
whispered. There is no one
like you on the screen. You are
supreme"
She did not answer him.
What did it matter? Tomorrow
it would be all over. Her taste
Of glory had been so very brief
before the cup had been dashed
from her lips. Douglas Gates,
with his eyes on the screen, had
not noticed her pale and set
face.
Tomorrow would be the end.
AS quietly as possible she would

Advice for
The ove|orn

Famous Authority on Problems
of Love and Marriage

Famous Authority on Problems
of Love and Marriage
He admits frankly he's not
bad looking; but that seems to
have gotten him into more
trouble than if he were "plain
featured" as Peter Finlay
Dunno used to say.
He confides his troubles in
letter, signed "Roy," which may
interest some other boys. It
seems that Roy has been max
ing love to girls ever since he
was in the grade schools.
II was always a little bit
girl-crazy, Miss Fairfax" he
writes. II treated them all
well-the good, bad and indif-
ferent."
BY treating them WELL" Roy
means he spent money on them,
took them out in his car, made
love, broke promises to some,
made more promises to others.
Still he thinks he treated them
all we'll, because if they were
good" he never tried to per-
suade them to be anything
else.
Naturally he did very badly
in school. His "only books were
women's looks" as Tom Moore
wrote, and his Dads ambition
to give him the college educa-
ton the Dad never had went
on the rocks. So Roy quit
school in the third year high
and took a "middling" job.
Now at "a Roy has estab-
lished an unenviable reputation
as a skirt chaser" Girls he
would like to know will have
none of him, and their families
will have less. I must say
there is nothing in his letter
which would explain this frigid
treatment-but maybe he hasn't
told me all.
Roy is very unhappy over
this state of things. He wants
to go away where he isn't
known and begin all over
again; but he's afraid to leave
that "middling" job. And I
don't blame him, do you-con-
sidering how hard it is to get
any job at all these days?
But why run away? When we
have that impulse it's ourselves
we're trying to escape, not our
environment. Better stand pat
and change our own unlovely
characteristics, where everyone
can see the Transformation,
than sneak off and expect that
virtue will overtake us. Appar-
emily skirt chasing" has lost
its charm for Roy.
I'D like to know some worth
while girls" he confides, but

The Melody Of Life


Song drifts about us, every
where,
In desert ways and forest dells
And in the moving sea and air
It weaves it's changeful spells.
The night wind stirs the poplar
leaves
And whispers through the tulip
tree;
Like some small, restless ghost
it grieves
In wistful melody.
From every blade of grass there
comes
A shrill, insistent note Of song
From insect life that drones and
drums
And whistles, summer long.
While those innumerable Threats
Are voicing fleeting melody,
Forever sounds in mighty notes
The solmen music of the sea.
To song our days are ever set,
It's currents flow about us, rife;
1t rings through rapture and
regret,
The ceaseleSS melody of life!
