IN TOUCH WITH NATURE
"We should all benefit permanently in our general health if we spent, with discretion, five or ten minutes every morning bare-footed on the grass, carrying out simple but purposeful movements such as walking, leg. arm trunk and breathing exercises,” said Captain S. J. Parker, inspector of physical training under the British national scheme, in a recent address. “ Go out early and find that piece of grass, be it lawn, field or park, by the cottage, house, flat or tenement. Mother earth has her own particular dewy thrill and healing power, and. combined with purposeful exercises, it means better health. Try it for a week and you will refuse to miss the exhilarating effect of dew and exercise.”
