"Your health is in your own hands

U'he best scientific men of today
state there is no reason known .o
science why . ainan . who observes
the laws of hygiene, should not live
to be 80, 90 or 100 years of age anrt
not have one day of sickness.
"Get - into the habit of being
cheerful every day, so that it will
be the habit of your life. Anyone
can acquire this habit of being
cheerful, under all circumstances, by
the exercise of will power, no mat
ter how many ancestors may have
been grou;hes. Good cheer -has a
tremendous effect upon your body.
Worry and bad temper create a poi
son in your system.
"If you-live long and well, you
must get into the habit of taking a
certain amount qi systematic ;
moderate., -exercise every day. ;'He
who will do this will be practically
immune from disease. and will live
long,, barring accidents." . , '

Dr. Barker told of a certain man

vided for. "He made money and
neglected his health. He died at the
age of 55, justvvhen he had ac
quired a -'Competency, and another
nian,who had conserved his health,
came along and. married the widow,
and the wealth. -
He asserted, speaking particularly
to the ministers present, that many
poor sermons may be attributed to
the rundown condition of preachers
who couM rehabilitate themselves
by following the daily exercise
habit.
Dr. Barker gave demonstrations
of his 12 exercises, which he recom
mended should be observed every
morning, taking about 12 minutes
for the series. Charts, showing
these exercises,- will be distributed
to Rotarians and others this week-.
' Kjotarians will help others to under
stand the Barker method of. daily
, exercises. ' After he had . given his
demonstrations yesterday at the
Fontenelle, Dr. Barker said:
"If you love your wife and want
her to live 100 years with you, you
will explain these exercises to her
when you go home."
