'Most Anything M. F. SCULLY

The Most Remarkable Man I Ever Examined' -Verdict Of Dr. William Brady, Noted Health Expert After

EDITOR'S NOTE Due to so much having been said during the Teccnt illness of Pres't Woodrow Wilson, about the physical "incapacity" of presidents, and that something ought to be donr to prevent the nation becoming "headless" in case of illness, the National Newspaper service seems to have thought it desirable that the American people be advised on the "health possibilities" and "probabilities" of the men now before them for the next White Mouse position. Dr. William Brady of Chicago, nationally known as a physician and writer on health subjects, was secured to interview the candidates and make the required examinations. The report on Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio, democratic nominee, appears today: the report on Sen. Warren G. Harding of Ohio, republican nominee, will appear next Sunday. Both are interesting documents, and especially interesting in comparison. The reader should save the report on Gov. Cox and have it ready for comparison with that of Sen. Harding a week hence. Understand! You cannot afford to have another "health failure" in the White House to be sneered at by political enemies, notwithstanding that Woodrow Wilson was probably as healthy in 1912 or 1016, before the burden of the war enh anced by senatorial "assassins" broke him down, as either Sen. Harding or Gov. Cox is today. The assaults on Pres't Wilson's "illness" makes the "health potentialities" of candidates almost an issue. From tho governor's residence in Columbus to th executive oiliee in the state capitol there is an ideal two miles of oxygen. Gov. Cox takes this two miles of cxygen on the hoof every morning when he U in oiumuus. ieep mi3 apparently inning lact in minu. please. It nay have an important bearing on thj following r'poit of the governor's physical status. A man's habits largely determine his personal health. It is a familiar Raying nowadays that public health is purchasable and within reasonable limitations a community may buy as much health as the peoplo desire. Of coarse, this refers to the rrotection afforded by modern sanitation. But t-anitation has practically nothing to do with personal health. Personal health cannot be bought It is an asset to be acquired through individual study and individual effort. Nobody can feed It to ou on a spoon. Althoush the majority of us have fair to middling health most of the time, less than one in 20 of us enjoys good health. The niPtt of us have our little functio:jl trouble or minor Ills, not enough to keep us under the care of a doctor, to be fure. yet we are not what you would call 100 per tent healthy. Let us estimate that City Will Frolic in Winter Months BY C. SITYMOUR I1ULLOCK. The interesting and timely article on the summer time provision for recreation in South IHnd. recently printed in The News-Timts, raised the question as to what waa being done toward providing similar opportunities for the long fall and winter months. If it was right for the majority to vote to do away with the t-alcon because of its effect upon the community life, it surely taust be right for the same majority to make poiMe the maintenance of sorrv attractive substitute. It alwajs his been true that what a man does with h:s leisure time not only showa what kind of a man he js but it alau makes the kind of a man that he is thown to 1)'. Too often the words "play" and "recreation" are locked upon as belonging to the vocabulary of children and aili!t socnts. We mut firasp the fact that the lather and mothers need to play, and need the sumo provision for the guidance in play. jut an much as and perhaps en more than the children who have not yet I-een incorporated into the great machine that grinds out the daily bread. lor tlx Whole Family. The propra m of the municipal recreation committer for the winter has been drawn up with this thought in iew. Proiion is to be made for the entire family. The j. D.

Far Away Scenes and Places Lure South Benders Who Seek New Thrills During Warm Stimmer Months

If you want to save time and patience next summer when planning your vacation, jut look over the following tales of how several South Uend men spent their vacations instead of leafing through ,sea-siged" booklets which describe all of the beauties and none of the drawbacks of some distant resort. Here are some first-hand experiences: Kl2Iariuv's Iikes nixl Dells."

It is here that somo w ise saw cleverly cut in an outstanding rock "Blarney stone." You see. most of the country in this region is rocky land, including the islands, which, unlike other respectable islands, are composed of stone instead of soil. Nov ertheless, the islands have everything from moss to trees sprouting from their crevices, and in some places it is like a wilderness, where a trail is difficult to find. The low blueberry bushes (can't you just taste that last blueberry pie?) grow abundantly after an island has been swept by tire, caused sometimes by careless campers. Only forty Pounds!

For men I take as an ideal or examplar a model at the age of 35 years, the age when a man attains his zenith physically and mentally. To this extent I would "oslerize' the race, namely, that a man has no excuse for growing older than 35 physiologically. Ju.st as surely as he does grow older than 35 he becomes rusty, unaggressive, stale, incompetent and a back number. True, he may hold down his job for several years notwithstanding, but nevertheless by just so much "as he slips beyond 3 5 years in his functional age the man becomes inefficient, I care not what his calling. This is a cold, hard, business principle, I admit. It is the simple truth, however. Taking the 35-ycar-old exemplar as 100, I find that the present health average of men in this country is about TO to 75. Certain life insurance companies issue small policies (for about enough to bury the insured) on a mere "inspection" by the medical examiner the examiner merely looks at the applicant and passes him if he appears healthy or rejects him if he appears un'r ?V '..

healthy. Fo I give the anxious subject a searching look with my eagle eye and if he looks healthy I credit him 70 points. Then I proceed to apply some specific health tests, as I fdaall now describe. I am a coldblooded doctor. Having taken the poor fellow's clothes away from him and inspected him to make sure he is not equipped with wooden legs or liver pads or anything like that, I tell him to have a chair and keep cool whi.e I count his pulse. If necessary, I waste a few minutes gossiping with him until I f 1 sure ho is not excited. I should find his rulre rate somewhere between CO and SO beats in the minute. Say it is 70 beats. I then have him lie down for a few minutes and count aiain. It should be at least five beats slower, not Flower than CO in this instance. Then the subject stands erect and I count again. The pulse rate should now be a, least five beats faster than in the sitting posture, but not over 10 beats faster, that is. not over J per minute in this instance. If my man passes this C CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE.) who was gone for more than two months last spring on a bus. nets trip to Europe, "but I am planning on spending half a day at a time playing golf out at ta' Country cjub." You sec, golf is his hobby, and he must be a very good player if one can judge by Iiis t-core in the papers. Mr. Morgan figures that taking a few hours at a time away from business is more beneficial to anvone than spending a week or tv.o at some lake where lishing in the morning, swimming in the afternoon and dancing in the evening composes the day's routine, and when you retain from your vacation you are more tired than before you went away. She Played Too Hard. "Why, one young woman here at the office was ordered by ler physician to take a rest after she had returned from hr vacation, j-o .strenuously had she indulged in a round of pleasures." When asked if he didn't think that chasing a p:; ball on a sizzling hot day was tiresome, too, Mr. Mrran declared emphatically: '.No, indeed: You don't chase a golf ball, you walk, thereby getting your required amount of xercise. without over-exertion. Then, tooj j meet business nssocatcs her', and after a round at golf we can enjoy all the conveniences of home at the club house. ,ftor a refreshing shower bath, (a convenience which fMV cummer cottages provide) there's dinner waiting for us, and in the evening a conceit or other amusement Is usually provided. "At an;.' rate, you can not deny th economy of a vacation spent in this manner. 13y spending your mornings at your ofTce, when it is cooler and your mind la fresh for the day's work, and taking a couple of afternoons off each week for a round of golf. This, in my estimation, is an ideal way of spending a vacation, especially if you can not 3 ave your business for protracted period.-)."
