Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 237, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 October 1910 — Exercise. [ARTICLE]

Exercise.

Exercise is what people talk about. Exercise consists of a cold bath every morning, a brisk walk of five miles in the open air, and a session with the clubs and the punching bag. This forms a constant topic of conversation. Folks who talk about it always say they m-ust take it. Exercise is seldom taken. It is not very catching. A man who is naturally healthy, who eats pie and welsh rabbit and all such stuff, will look you in the eye and swear that his perfect condition is entirely due to the regular exhe takes. \ man who is growing fat will say that he is going to take regular exercise and reduce. He keeps saying this until he grows so big that his clothes have to be measured by trigonometry. Nobody takes exercise—unless he can wear his best clothes. And he doesn’t like to spoil them.
