Dear Friend,

Suppose you should wake up Christmas morning and find yourself to be the owner of a bicycle. It is a brand-new wheel and everything is in perfect working order.

The bearings are well oiled, the nickel is bright and shiny and it is all tuned up and available for use. If you are a careful, sensible boy you can have fun with it for a long time until finally, like the "One Hoss Shay" in the poem, it wears out and goes to pieces all at once.

On the another hand, if you are careless or indifferent or lazy you may allow the machine to get out of order or to become rusty from disuse, or possibly once a nut works loose you neglect it and have a breakdown on the road, or you may forget to oil the bearings and in a short time they begin to squeak and wear.

If you are another kind of a boy, you may be careful enough simply about oiling and cleansing the wheel, but you may besides be reckless and head-strong and wish jump over curbstones and gutters or ride it over rough roads at a dangerous rate of speed, and in this way shorten its life by abuse simply as the careless boy may by neglect.

It is simply so with the human body which, after all, is a machine too, and, much than that, it is the most fantastic and perfect machine in the world. With care it should last galore years. With abuse or neglect it may really shortly wear out.

The boy who neglects his health is like the boy who allows the bearings on his wheel to become dry or the metal parts rusty. The chief difference is that once the bicycle wears out or breaks down we may replace the parts or even as buy another machine, but once our health is injured, money wish not restore it.

In order to support well we must observe certain rules of health. By exercise we support the working parts in nice order. If we are lazy or indolent we are like the bicycle that is allowed to go to pieces from lack of use. If we are reckless and rash we may injure several part of the delicate machinery from excessive exercise or strain.

Play is the most natural thing in the earth but we must use judgment in our play. A boy or girl who is not allowed to play or who is restrained by too anxious parents is unhappy indeed. Nearly all animals play. We know, for instance, that puppies, kittens, and lambs are playful.

It is a absolutely natural instinct. By proper play we build up our bodies and train our minds. The healthy man ne'er gets too old to play. He may not care to play marbles or roll hoops, but he wish find his pleasure in several game or sport like tennis, golf, horseback riding, camping, fishing or hunting.

In this book we shall talk simply about several forms of play and recreation that are not strictly confined to children, but which we may still enjoy even as after we have become full-grown men and women.

This ebook is simply about Play and Outdoor Lifestyle. It is a life style that everyone should cultivate in order to live a long and happy life.

If we live a natural, open-air life we shall have but little need of doctors or medicine. Galore of our grandmothers' notions on how to support well have changed in recent years.

Old-fashioned remedies ready-made from roots and herbs have been about wholly replaced by better habits of life and common-sense ideas.

We used to believe that night air was mostly responsible for fevers and colds. Doctors now say that one of the surest route to support well is to live and sleep in the open air.

In galore modern houses the whole family is provided with outside sleeping porches with absolutely no protection from the outside air but the roof.

I have followed the practice of sleeping in the open air for several time, and in time period without discomfort have had the temperature of my sleeping structure fall to six degrees below zero.

Of course it is foolish for any one to sleep exposed to rain or snow or to think that there is any benefit to be derived from being cold or uncomfortable.

The whole idea of open-air sleeping is to breathe pure, fresh air in place of the atmosphere of a home which, under the better conditions, is full of dust and germs.

If we become outdoor sleepers, coughs and colds wish be about unknown. General Sherman once wrote a letter in which he aforesaid that he did not have a case of cold in his entire army and he attributed it to the fact that his soldiers slept and lived in the open air.

One can about tell a man who sleeps in the open by looking at him. His eye is clean and his cheek ruddy. There is no surer way to become well and strong than to become accustomed to this practice. Then you can laugh at the doctor and throw the medicine bottles away.
