and sometimes use both In moderation but bat not for at least t four foul months hs before I start on cu a trip But Bul I am radical on one thing thin and that Is athletics I do doo not think it right for boys hors to tax their hearts and muscles In these lightning dashes clashes that are arc a I large part of or track and field meets It would not Injure them to got out I ard rd walk forty miles in hours early so much as to run rim a hundred yards arils In lit the time they do Also AIPO these t ese Marathon races are arc all wrong It is too much for anyone to torun tonn torn run rn that hilt t distance and or later Inter will affect their hearts h Mr eRton will be he at the th Hea hotel to meet et friends after y a this afternoon J |
