WHERE WOMEN ARE NEEDED,

the recent census of the British col.

In two of these colonies-Australia
and Canada-there is chance for
100000 more to gain husbands and
homes.
According to the latest figures tho
population of New South Wales con.

males. Here is deficiency of lOO,.

In Victoria the discrepancy is not
so marked. but in other colonies tho
difference is proportionately larger.
In New Zealand. for instance, there
IL an excess of $4,000 males.
Perhaps if the women realized how
much they are needed there they
would go in bevies. 1t is said, how.

HOW MEN MAY WALK WELL,
There II SOmethin4 of m Art in the
Exercise That Should Not
BE Overlooked.

These suggestions for the benefit
of pedestrians are made by writer
on hygicnic matters: Not every man
can be a great walker, but every nor
NAL man can be good walker. There
is no better exercise. Even slouchy
walking is good, but it is easy to drop
the slouch part and make the every
day walking one of the best of health
helpers. Every normal man does
miles of walking each day, regard
less of cars and carriages. Let him
make his walking little more care
full, q: little more thoughtful. No
need to take an extra step. unless
the delight of it inspires the effort.
Walk with the head up, chin down,
shoulders back, abdominal muscles
tense and ending each step with a
toe tip. "Toe out" slightly, bend
knees without wabbly motion and
avoid pounding the pavement with
heels, says health exchange.
Garry head and shoulders steady
without any side swaying. If unused
to such effort it will require much
thought at first to keep from lapsing
into careless ways. After few trials
the ease, comfort and inspiration of
such walk will encourage persist
ence. Breathe deeply, slowly and
through the nose. Walk when you
can, bearing in mind that perhaps
''he who rides in a carriage rides to-
ward his grave" Do not sit .hunched
up at desk or table. Hold the
upper body as in walking. Bend at
the hips and at the neck when neces-
sary. but never hump the back and
shoulders. Give the lungs room,
keep them filled with new air and do
not let the back bone curve either
to the right or to the left. Sleeping
on the right side is best. On the
back is the snoring position. Take
plenty of sleep; to rest in bed is the
best of nerve tonics. Worries are
sleep scarers.

Swamp Lands.

Now that railroad land grants have
been practically satisfied. State Auditor
Dunn finds 100000 acres of the sur
veyed swamp land still belonging to
the state, outside the counties of ST.
Louis, Lake and Cook When the Du-
luth & Iron Range grant is settled
there will be at least $4,000 acres more
in these three counties. Great tracts
are still unsurveyed and all the land
goes to the state. There is also pos
sibility of securing the swamp land or
Indian reservations for the state, which
will bring 100000 or more under state
control.
State Auditor Dunn says that not an
acre of this will be sold for less than
SIS. This will bring in several hum
dred thousand dollars.
