Walking aaan Exercise.

Walking as an Exercise.
This is the time Of the year when
a stiff and brisk walk in the opsn is
worth more than hours of exercise
in the gymnasium or the bedroom
OF course an occasional Dad day may
be cut off the programme without
serious loss to the walker. An athlete
of championship honors recently de-
clared that after the use of all sorts
of apparatus and most Of the modern
systems for developing health and
strength, he had found that walk
ing over ordinary country ground
in any and every kind of wealth
er produced more good results But
the walk, to have the very best re-
suits, must be, as said, stiff or vigo-
rous, and it must also be accompa
MED by pleasant thoughts and
buoyant feelings To 60 on long
walk with the mind centred upon
the cares and affairs Of the Office or
the shop is absolutely useless, so
lar as health getting is concerned.
The walker should he as free in
thought as his limbs and lungs
should be in their action Physio-
logical rest of the mind and activity
OF the body should always go to-
gether, and he who works mind
and muscle at the same time will
produce condition which sooner
or later results in nervous prostra
tion and it's long list Of evils. These
sensible words from the Easton EX-
press, are timely and, If folio wed
out, conducive to the upbuildln & Of
health. Thai paper further says:
when you hurry in your work
and in the ordinary doings of daily
life, you may save time for the
present, but surer than fate, YOU
are shortening your allow anCe Of
world existence at the OF her end.
Don't keep up constant strain of
mind and body. Nature needs re-
Taxation for rernperative processes
and metabolism. or the renewal Of
cellular life cannot take place with
any degree Of success, in the pres.
ence Of everlasting activity, and,
above all things don't smoke while
you are walking, Dstend tho nos
trils and take i'll deep breaths, and
the oxygen you get over the ordi-
nary allowance Of the man who
rides in cars will give you both APP
petite and muscle.

Perhaps the strenuous promoters
OF Cuban trade monopoly and Cana
dian reciprocity for the benefit of a

perceive something significant IN The
following resolution adopted recently
by the Nat!ODa. Grange at Lansing,

was customary 10 dIslrlbulo lead
pencils among the scholars. DnrOf
these fell into the hands of a rh;lt
who was suffering from the disease.
Like all children this particular one
chewed the eud Of the pencil and
on the following day the same pen
Gil got into the hands Of another
child who also chewed the end OF it
and Ill this way the disease was
spread with fatal results.
While it is possible that the germ
theory OF disease has been eyag-
gerated, it is plausible that this pen
Gil bore the germs which caused tho
disease infection in paseaIr. The
lesson therefore emphasizes the ne
cessity Of certain precautions against
the spread of the disease Thought

Since a pencil can be bought for one
cent, No cheaper safeguard a-au,.
