SEVEN KEYS ARE ENOUGH


 Sometimes I wonder whether the seven keys are enough, whether we should not have included an eighth key in "The ' Keys to Vite" (60- page booklet, for copy send 25 cents and stamped envelope bearing your address). The eighth key might have been Good Posture-and if any printer changes that to pasture I'll say til with it and seek amnesia on the bowling green. However, in preparing the guide book we assumed that another key, Daily Exercise, would take care of the posture; especially in conjunction with Belly Breathing and Somersaults.
 Wait, now, it isn't really so crazy as it may seem at first blush, if you're thoroughly dignified old stiff. You never can tell how much antics will affect you until you E.' them, you know. I'm sure you would take more tolerant view of the subject if you could glance through few score of reports received from people who, formerly, branded my teachings about somersaulting, for example, as silly or dangerous.
 For that matter perhaps one key, designated, for instance, Rejuvena- ton Diet, might cover not only the essentials of vitamin and mineral supply but also the essential of an adequate intake of iodine. But
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-01-10

knowing people as I do, 1t seemed well to present them with the seven keys, namely:
 Save Your Teeth
 2. Temperance
 3. Rejuvenation Diet
 4. Iodin Ration
 5. Some Movements of the Last Brady Symphony
 6. Nudity-that is sun baksing, air bathing
 2. Belly Breathing.
 If you miss SomerSaults from the recipe don't let it disturb you Each rendition of the movements of the Symphony is introduced half a dozen rolls. The rolls (which are not Websterian somersaults) are or should be easy enough for any one who is not actually decrepit. Understand, in doing a Brady son. crsault you just curl up and place lands and crown of head on floor or ground, keep curled up tight, give little push with your feet and, upsydaisy, over you roll like hoop and come right up on your feet smiling. That is, you come up smiling after you have tried it a few times. Your body never loses contact with ground or floor. Don't let Dr. Webster mislead you about that. What Webster describes as a somersault I say is an airspring Now let Webster say what I de- scribe as somerSault is. Whatever you call em somersaults serve to give the indolent, the sluggish, the flabby or the languid an appetite for exercise when the very thought of going through even simple ex- ercises is repellent at the time when exercise should be taken-say on getting out of bed mornings. This is not the main reason for somer- saults, but just one of many good reasons for rolling them regularly We'll give other reasons later.
 Keep in mind the meaning of vite preservation of the characteris- tics of youth :. extension of the prime of life .. higher average level of positive health throughout the life cycle -. . greater pep" reserve power natural inn munity-and you will perhaps get some real benefit from this series of talks about the Seven Keys to Vite.
