Activity Is youth; In-:- VSEsamfm activity age. Everywhere from jellyfish : l$?25$il t0 man acllvUv signifies life. Be Inactive ' TlrifTirr ariCl your muscles will become set and. Immobile Your muscles will becomo weak and flaccid. Your joints will become stiff. .You i tvill become heavy of movement and thick of waist. -. l'otir vital organs will become inactive. Your liver tvill become sluggish and melancholic. Your en- ' narrow and stale. When this happens then YOU ARE NO LONGER YOUNG. Age has you in hor ugly clutches. Maybe you are only in your twenties, maybe in your thhtlcs, but if you are Inactive you arc not young! You are twenty or ! thirty years old instead of that many years young. Youngness means muscular freedom and strong, ; 5rm muscles. Activity gives you these qualities 3f youth. Youngness means an erect, pliant ntti- . aide, alcitncss, and buoyancy. These virtues ou , don't acquire by lazy movements or lolling about n lazy verandas. Youngness moans freedom from obesity and heaviness of movement. Activity Is the only thing that will keep tho flesh from oettllng on you in old ago lumps. Remember this the next time you are within walking distance dis-tance of your destination and you are tempted to ride. Remember it when you feel an Inclination to teniuin lazily lolling in the hammock or big chair and you arc tempted to refuse an Invitation to wlm or dunce or play a game of tennis. Remember Remem-ber it when the unholy thought goes through jour mind that 'thls morning you'll have breakfast break-fast In bed." That 'means you aro going to le-main le-main inactive" a couple of hours longer. Remember-It when you feel too lazy to brush your hair, your teeth, and tone up your skin I with a few, minutes massage. t ; Remember you are giving the "come on" sig nal to age when you succumb to any temptation not to bestir yourself. Also, remember age never falls to answer that call. Look around you at th,o men and women you know. "Who aro the youthful among them? Aren't thoy tho eternally active members of society? ' Aren't thoy women who accomplish a great doal whether their duties aro thoso of tho household f or outsido of.it? Aren't the men the man who do things and got somewhere in their vocations? i And aren't they the men who have tlmo outsido their day's work to go in for active pleasures 6uch as dancing, swimming, golfing, bowling, and other forms of youth retaining cxerciso? Of course they are. 1 Take anothor look around among your friends and acquaintances. Who aro tho old ones? Aren't they tho folk who havo always some lazy ! excuse for not onjoylng life? Aren't tho women thoso who aro forovcr hypnotizing themselves Into Inactivity with such, oxcusos as tho rain or t to cold or hcadacho or n tired feeling or a little em broidery? And aren't they women with heavy bodies, ft , dull eyes, and colorless complexions nine times out of I ton? It Isn't ncccBsary to dwell at length on tho fact ln-f ln-f activity of body means mental stagnation. It means I a ectneta of mind,, chronic garrulousncss, self-ccntor- cdncss and a most Unhealthy tendoncy toward neurasthenia. neu-rasthenia. You knoSv from your own experience that !( the days upon which you loll ab6ut and llo around your : mind is In a disgruntled, dissatisfied and discontented Btatc. You know, too, that when you becomo Inter im ested again in come thing involving active physical i energy your mind takes on a cheerier outlook and tho ( whole course of your life becomes brighter as tho blood quickens through your arteries. Knowing this .from your own experience why sign tho death warrant of your youth by Inactivity? To koop ago off, both your body and mind must bo kept vigorous and flexible. ) As some authority expressed it: "A man's body and his mind aro exactly like a Jerkin and a Jerkin's lining rumplo tho ono you rumplo tho othor." T A dejected physical attitude Induces a dejected Ifr mental state, A tramp through tho woods, on the othor lljr. hand, or a brisk game of tennis or golf, a horseback jr1 ride, a swim, or ovon a plunge into your bathtub fol- II lowed by a few minutes physical exercise will dispel I L like magic monlal troubles and give yon a feeling of I ) hopefulness and buoyancy, synonyms for youth. The elixir of life Js tho furnishing of new stimulus to bodv and brain. That'B why you should learn to : ; play tho gamo of life us children play it. Co In for ' S all the fun you can get. There's no such thing as not having time to do this. Jf you make time iter this part of life you'll havo more time than you have now for tho iff berlous aide .of life. You will bo able to do twlco.as lK much as you are, doing now. I" Learn to walk with the light buoyant step of youth. Romp with the children. Take a brisk run in tho fresh r air and dance.
