bright metal packages keep it always fresh fresb srom the garesas dangerous fifties by dr c brown there has been an unusual num ber ot sudden deaths of apparently ound and healthy men of late suf ficient to attract public notice it has raised anew the whole quos- tlon of exercise for those cl advonc- lng years men who have reached the peak of life at 43 to 50 and are de scending the slopo on the otlior side as slowly as possible what sort of exercise and games if any is desirable for these is the problem i purpose to discuss in a practical spirit and in the light of modern medical knowledge first there is the question of your age there i3 a very ancient doc tors maxim which says that a mans fige is the ago of his arteries and i js a perfectly sound one so far as it goes the arteries are resilient and elas tic tubes up to a variable period ot middle life after that they begin to harden and thicken and any consid erable degree cf this process should 1 you are wise constitute a bar to all the move strenuous games and exercises pt for example is compulsory for the fit under the age of 35 in the services over 35 it is voluntary hut is only indulged in after the mo has thoroughly overhauled ycu and as the years roll by its practice should become less too football the most strenuous of all games is generally given up by wise men in the early thirties cricket if you are not a howler may often be enjoyed till the halt- century lnilestono as may be gentle tennis or golf and bowls to a still later period but the condition of the arteries is not the only criterion of age there arc others the state of the heart for one this without being actually the seat of disease may he fatty or flabby or both clearly a heart of that kind can not safely stand the strain and exer tion of violent exercise even swing ing a club at golf the prosnmed safe tame for the elderly is not devoid of tome risk apart from the condition of the arteries there are also your miiecniar akd dyspeptic tone to be considered in assessing your age many men over middle age lead toft and sedentary lives they tecline in cars getting fresh air it is true but no exercise their muscles aro flabby and their digestion nono too good for during the week they are rather indulgent to little mary perhaps then on saturday or sunday or possibly both they walk many miles round a golf cuurse swinging clubs violently and straining heart and arteries alike at fairly frequent interr vals this is not wise bowls is the move suitable game for the alder- manic elderly it involve but lit tle strain it is really quite illogical to say- that yciir ago ie 50 or whatever it may be because your birthday certi ficate tells you this you may ho 55 or even co as far as these vital fac tors are concerned or more hap pily you may be only 45 or less this actual age can bo assessed with reasonable accuracy today it is quite easy to estimate tho con dition of the arterios and the blood- pressure which voes with it and be accurately measured only a doctor will estimate the tine of your muscles and digestion and a heart specialist can demonstrate the actual working condition of the heart on a screen there is not the least difficulty in finding ut what garnet if any you can safely play and you can at the same time obtain a rcasonablo ac curate estimate of your vital age this implies a

which jake stevens knew still less since he had never heard of the game such a muddle they made of it but it di verted their thoughts even the steady rush of the welcome breeze did not blow away that

would prick her blue fingers they were blue from the told tbeu sho would stop sewing and look into the fire mrs brooks had blond hair which was gradually turniug white her eyes were very blue sho wasnt very tall and she wasnt very short she was just between the two billy was tho very image of his mother with sky blue eyes just now billy thought of some thing the must have for ho jumped up and over to his mother moth er he said if wo are not rich enough to buy a halloween costume why cant i wrap myself up in a sheet and go out as a ghost his mother thought this a good plan so she got a sheet and wrapped it around him ho was smaller than the sheet and ho went around with it dragging on the ground after he had walked around the room a couple of times showing his mother how he looked he got a basket and went out to try his luck as he said he went around from door to door everybody thought he was cute be cause very seldom did they seo any body dressed as a ghost all tho child ren wanted a fancy costume he got a lot of peanuts and ho ate quite a few of them before he had gone to half ot the houses he had thought of he had 75 cents in tho basket just as he was passing a drug store he saw a man with his hands straight up over his head my thought bily it must be awful tiresome hold ing your hands above your head liko that in front of this man another man stood with his back towards hilly billy had only seen one movie ii his life that had been when his father had been living and then they had beeu richer now he thought ho would go in and see this little movie so he walked right in and his shoes being almost worn right to bits did not make and noise when he walked when he was within a few teer of the man who had his back turned to him he tripped which marie him go right iuto the mans back then both fell down the man falling on poor billy although it hurt billy didnt cry be cause he thought himself grown up and nobody grown up cries thats what billy thought anyway the man who had had his hands up jumped upon the man and took his gun from him he then bound the mans feet and hands then he telephoned the police mr brown as the druggist was called told billy that he was very brave he asked billy a lot of ques tions then he told billy to go and got his mother when his mother came she recognized him as her brother who had gone to war and who she thought was dead he then told her to come and live with him mr brown didnt havo very much money but he had enough to send bily to school al the people thought that billy was brave but billy could not seo anything brave
