Avoid Being Tired

When the golfer reaches IS, he
had better reduce his rounds from
is holes four times a week to l8
holes twice a week and 9 holes
once a week. When he gets to be
so, he had better reduce it to 9
holes three times a week. When
he gets to be 65, he had better re-
duce it to 8 holes twice a week, or
better, holes twice a week. A
man or woman at 55 should never
exereise-even with moderate ex-
ercise such as walking - to the
point of getting the least bit tired.
3. "a balanced dietary program
is important, but special emphasis
should be placed on moderation in
the size of meals and on a quiet
and unhurried manner Of eating"
As exercise goes down, the total
consumption Of food should 90
down in about the same ratio at
the same ages. see no reason to
change the type Of eating, but by
the time you are go you should
take about one-half Of what you
think you want, have q helping
and when you are finished with it,
ask yourself whether you are not
satisfied. War rationing may save
the lives of hundreds and thou
