Too Much Leg Work,
Not Enough Head Work
The following trade letter is from J.
Kindleberger of the Kalamazoo, Mich.,
Vegetable Parchment Company:
“I am a firm believer in physical
exercise. I believe in it to tlje ex
tent that I have a notion that one of
these days babies will be born without
legs.
Nature has a way of taking away
anything not used, and as everybody
rides today and nobody walks, nature
will, one of these days consider legs
to be superfluous and leave them off.
Men ride from home to office and shop
and even youngsters find it over-taxes
their strength to walk four or five
blocks to school, and then we build

in which to exercise.
Schools, Colleges, Universities, and
almost without exception all institu
tions of learning, are paying too much
attention to leg work today and not
enough to head work. There are ex
ceptions to this rule I grant you, but
they are mighty scarce.
Anybody with sense knows that a
certain amoymt of exercise, a certain
amount of play and recreation, are
vitally necessary for both young and
©Idv but my contention is—and I care
not p hoot-who or how many disagree
with me—that play, amusement, kick

industry and thrift, plain old fash

things worth while, are being thought
lessly and recklessly tossed in the

the largest manufacturers of fertiliz

followed by further selling after the
announcement today sending the com

7 points below the year’s high, while

per cent mortgages, 16 points from
their 1924 ^eak.
