"I should say that any man who be
gins to ride early and continues with
it throughout his early years will find
i n the end that he has invested in a
fopnof pliysicil exercise that will be
a great asset to him in his later years.
Driving is splendid too. Get tin lots
of air s.he. h principal, thing. I learhed
to ride early in 'my own State of Ver
mont. I don't know how early, but I
have kept on with that exercise and it
has been a great benefit to me. "
