He is Sir Henri Deterding, the head of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company, and of the great Shell petrolenm concerns--the man who bea the irerelible J. D. Rockefeller st ms own ganic, and in a talk we had gence oa the subject of bodily ftitens 12 :iil some of the most reiresming and illuminating things thai | huve ever heard. You must imagine him sitting in his office--a bare, bright plabe, with sne vast curved table, and empty of all that "big-business" scenery with "which captains of industry are tra- ditionally surrounded. You will see a man slightly under middle height, with a face in which 2 healthy red shows through tan. He has white hair, a white mous- tache, white teeth, and dark, quick eyes. He speaks with an accent, since he is Dutch, and his personal atmosphere is a strong mixture of self-confidence and receptive good humour, "Do what your body tells you," he said, "let your body talk--it will talk intelligently if only you will lis- ten intelligently, "Don't set impossible physical standards, and then wear yourself sut trying to live up to them. That isn't keeping fit--it's merely folly, Cold Plunge "Now I take a cold plunge and a wim at my place rear Ascot every fay, summer and winter, and if 1 fidn't I shouldn't feel fit. "But if you suppose that I preach the cold-bath-for-everv-one doctrine, vou are mistaken. People who do that 'dnd of thing are only saved from sharges of manslaughter by the fact that it is impossible to trace to them the deaths that they have prob- bly caused by their insane advice. "I take cold baths because they nappen to agree with me--because | pave a quick-acting skin. For every- pody to take cold baths as a kind >f universal cure would be madness. "The skin, as we know, plays an enormously important part in the life of the body. It is one of the most delicate organs. Some people have slow-acting skins--they do not get a rapid reaction after cold- and those are the people who should not on any account go in for winter bathing. "On the other hand, others, like myself, are of the quick-reacting type, and, for us, cold baths are splendid. "A man's body tells him at once whether or not he can benefit by cold water, If he can he will feel the desire for it, and he will exper- ience. a healthy after-glow. But if he feels chilled and uncomfortable after a cold plunge, then {let him leave it. alone. He is only doing himself harm, "I often have to break the ice be- fore | can take my morning swini, but then icy water agrees with me. "Another thing," Sir Henri went on, "Don't let any one be fooled by the old fetish of 'Go to bed at a fixed time, get up at a fixed time. "How on earth can any busy man be certain of the time at which he will be able to go to bed? And if having gone to bed at three in the morning, he makes a religion of get- ting. up at half-past six, he is an idiot, and an unhealthy idiot, "You must get a sufficiency of Sleens and a general safe allowance is yout seven or ¢ight hours, not Why For myself, I always take eight, unless I am forced to do with a shorter period. "I have no' fixed time to bed, and no fixed tine "People who stick course of exercise, without allowing for the varying conditions of life, are simply wearing themselves into invalids in the name of health. "I have come across wrecks whose daily regime would be hailed as the perfection of scientific health meth- ods, and they were wrecks simply because they forced themselves to 'keep fit, as they called it. if Fuss and Worry "They worried about vitamins, they fussed about calories, they brooded 'on hydro-carbons, they thought that they had put one foot in the grave if they missed getting both feet on the tennis court punc- tually at a certain time after- noon "Of course, they were always more or less ill, because they did not real- ise that the mind $hould rule the be dy, but not conscript it I'he body--each individual body --has its special kind of 'intelligence, and, as I have said, we should listen to its voice." I asked Sir Henri for the program of a typical day in his life, and here it 18 -- Rise at any time after eight hours' sleep. Then shave, and swim in the garden pool, wearing only shorts Then a run of two or three hun- dred yards, a rub down, and a ride of about three-quarters of an hour After that, breakfast, consisting of stewed fresh fruit and a cup of coffee. for going for rising. to a rigid every Ses Breeze Health In your Home \ HE hesith and buoyancy that ses breezes bring can be produced in your home with clesn, moist heat from a Tomid Zone gas-tight steel fumace, seldom from radiation heat.

More work, no tea, and for dinner a little soup, boiled fish again, more green vegetables and sometimes chicken. No supper, and bed when he can! get there. "That 'is my rule," he said, stick to it as much as I can. My average day's work 1s about nine hours, sometimes longer; and some= times I stay up late if I go to a party. © But it makes no difference in the long run, [I don't miss my sleep, and I don't miss my swim, run and ride. My body demands these things, and I give it what it asks " "and 1 or. Yet Sir Henri has one dogma. That is that no man of forty or more should be without a weighing ma- chine, and that he should weigh him- self at least twice a week "A man should remember this rule," he said. "He should weigh one kilogramme for every centimetre of his height above one metre, If he weighs a little more, so much the better. It gives him a reserve in case of illness." There, in outline, you have the physical rule of life of a man whose whole career has been one of ceases less activity--a career which began with a bank clerkship in Batavia, went on to an important post under J. B. A. Kessler (who, as managing director of the Royal Dutch Com pany, began operations there in 1892), and has now reached the pin- nacle in the control of the most powerful group in the world Sut, says Sir Henri, health is not only a matter of sane 'exercise; it is alsd a matter of peace of mind "Be on good terms with yourself, keep friendly towards yourself," he said, "And, if you can, try to keep a good conscience--especially in business--which is sometimes hard, "No amount of riding and swim ming will help the man whose mind is perpetually gnawed with the worms of self-distrust and self-re- proach. They will destroy his capa city for work, his leisure' and his repose. "Face every problem squarely, do your best to solve it, and go to bed with a "quiet mind. "Above all don't go in for athletics for the sake of bravado--for the mere sake of showing off "There is too much of of thing in sport at present--all kinds of 'endurance tests, and record- breaking, and the which no purpose, either as examples or practical realities "It is hysteria, health, though it takes cold w cure it."

T. Britten, in charge of the swimmers who hung up several new marks at the meeting. He thought the Games would be of in- calculable value to the Empire as a whole, since they brought all parts of it together at one time and one place. The maiden voyage of the new Canadian Pacific flagship of the Pacific, the Empress of Japan from Yokohama to Victoria, was completed in eight days, six hours and 23 minutes, beating the Em- press of Canada record for the run, established in 1918, by four hours and thirty minutes. E. W. Beatty, chairman and president of the rail way company. wired congratula- tions to Captain BE. Aikman, general superintendent of the Company's Pacific steamship fleet." Records also fell on the Atlantic when the company's liner Duchess of York travelled between Greenock, Scot- land, and Quebec City in 6 days, 17 hours and 20 minutes, even better- ing the time hung up by the Duch- ess of Richmond on her previous trip from Belfast to Quebec, which is a hundred miles shorter. Speaking at a banquet given by the Saint John Beard of Trade to inaugurate the service of the new Canadian Pacific steamer Princess Helene, on the Saint John-Digby route, E. W, Beatty, chairman and president of the railway, said he thought Canada would respond more quickly than ether countries, even wealthier than herself, to mea- sures taken By responsible govern- ments and large industrial organi. zations to alleviate unemployment. He added that in his opinion the Maritime Provinces were particu- larly faverably placed in this res- pect.
