From The London Express.
The best exercise in the world is walking, and
this is the most suitable season of the year for
taking It.
A person who knows how TO walk intellgentIy
can get along without a gymnasium. No other
form Of exercise brings many muscles into play
and develops them normally
The most popular games those in which
walking sorms a prominent part. Golf. croquet,
and in sense cricket, and even bicycling, merely
give an excuse fGT walking one way or another.
Every one should Hnow how to walk properly. II
Is because of careessnesS that many walk bad
ly. The body should be carried erect, the chest
we'll out, the head back. while the arms should
swing freely at the sides.
The pace should be regulated to ones strength
Every should walk fast enough and far enough
to get the Dody in "A comfortable glow.
To get the best results from walking one should
give his undivided attention TO IL. In other words
he should walk for the pleasure of t.. and not
carry worries with him. Exercise walking is in
