If you do believe this ihcn answer me this. Why do so many men wbo ncver excrcisc. Iive to such a ripe old agc. men whose mental capacities are so grcat as to rank with thc greatest minds in history, and whose mental activiły is so intensc that they are morę or less compclled to live quite sedcntary lives with no time for athletics of the morę violent sort or even for the simpler. cxccpt perhaps walking. horsc-back riding, or a bit of golf. Then look up thc life history of our great athlctes. men who in college madę their niarks and wcre touted as the world's greatest. in endurance. stamina. who wcre known as "hounds for punishment." in football, baseball, track. rowing. polc-vaulting. broad-jumps. prize-fighting. and the hundred and one varietics of athletics that requirc strength. speed and endurance. How many of thcse livc as long as sixty, or longcr?

Do you still doubt? Then ask the doctors al the Mayo Clinic or any other mcdical organization whcre thousands are passed through and givcn completc physical cxaminations. Ask them how they found the hcarts of these men? That after all is the grcat tragedy of long-continucd strenuous athletics—thc hcart. This organ naturally becomcs consid-crably cnlargcd to take carc of the trcmcndous strains through which passes an athleie's body. It is required to pump so forcibly. so vigorousty. for such long pcriods of time that the muscles gradually incrcasc in size to take care of the tremcndous dcmands madę upon it.

Then comes a time when the strenuosity of athlctic life ceases. The athlcte !eavcs college or high school and goes to work. His life becomes sedentary and thc great hcart he has deeeloped has only half its work to do. What happens? Almost anything can happen in the coursc of time and almost cvcrything does. It is hardly nccessary to describe the rarious affections of thc hcart that follow a sudden let-down in athlctic actieity. but our medical records of heart disease
