thrown well back and your abdomen
should be drawn in. IT will be some
time before you can stand that
| trying"
But why will that make me grace
ful?"
Because you are naturally grace
full. You are tall and willowy, and If
you would try to stand up straight
you would soon become beautiful.
Grace would come to you. You would
make yourself lovely in six months
time"
But" said the other young woman,
my case is quite different. ] am tall,
yet ! stand up straight and am of
good figure. Yet a more awkward girl
was never seen. What is the cause or
my awkwardness?"
You are awkward because your
joints are stiff. You do not exercise
enough. You read part of the day,
and when you go out TO walk you wear
long train which you must hold
up. It impedes your progress. You
do not walk with full, free
step"
How can / change my ways?"
For young women like you, stiff In
the Joints and not very strong, there
is one splendid remedy, and IT is found
in cross country walking. In England
and Scotland cross country walking
is a frequent thing. In this country
It is 50 rare that the person trying
it is considered a freak"
But what is cross country walk
ing?"
Gross country walking IS. as its
name implies, the pastime Of walking
across country TO do this correctly,
and so as 10 get the most benefit.

skirt and wearing a comfortable

not be necessary.
Half "A dozen apples eaten under
the trees; luncheon of milk and
fresh bread and eggs; a dinner OF
good vegetables and bacon will salts
" the most fastidious of epicures."
But surely one cannot walk on this
Diet"
"On the contrary. It is just the food
for the hard worker or the walker.
And the walker will find that she rises
in the morning feeling as light as a
feather and as hungry as bear
''She will take her cup Of farmhouse
coffee and her glass of milk; and she
will eat her slice of bread and her
eggs with "a relish. And, when she
travels on, she will find that her stom-
ach Graves nothing more than har-
vest apple until the noon meal"
How about the complexion"

cold creams to restore 1t and the coat
OF sunburn and the patch OF freckles
will yield before the good agencies Of
cucumber and lettuce creams and the
persuasive fingers of the masseuse on
ones return"
But how does this cross country
walking make one more graceful?'
1T makes a woman more graceful
just as it makes her healthier and less
self-conscious. After she has walked
the stiffness out Of her limbs; after she
has swung the angles out OF her arms,
after she has moved her hips without
the cruel tug Of the corset strings
for she will walk with her corsets
loosened, Of course-she will find that
she has gained "A great deal in natural
pose"
What do you mean by natural
polse?''
by natural poise ! mean the exqui-
site grace OF the Indian woman; the
wonderful free swing Of the working
girl; the beautiful manner Of the Irish
lassie as she losses hay. and Of the
German girl as she works beside the
stream. There is something that is
delightfully."- youthful In the gestures OF
the woman who has learned her grace
by working out OF doors"
But how about deep breathing and
health?"
THAT is point 10 be considered
carefully. The cross country walker
must not choose lowlands and a ma

away to walk across country, 50 they
tried the walking feat in their own

"They put on loose suits. One dress

other wore kimono. And, to-

TrIumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced; pipes
take the place Of diseased sections of
veins; antiseptic dressings are applied
to wounds, bruises. burns and like in
iuries. before inflammation sets in,
which causes them to heal without
maturation and in one-third the time
required by the old treatment. Cham
berlain's Pain Balm acts on this same
principle. II i an antiseptic, and when
applied to such injuries. causes them
to heal very quickly. 1T also allays
the pain and soreness. Keep a bottle
Of Pain Balm in your home and it will
save YOU time and money, not to men
ton the inconvenience and suffering
which such injuries entail. For sale

With his Years Unclaimed. and
Claimless-The Old Gray.

It was an old gray horse.
Time and the burdens he had borne
had left the mark that comes, SOON
er or later to all, whether nan or
! beast. He was able to work no
more, and an auctioneer was Offer
ing him to the highest bidder. It
was in the city pound and the
auctioneer was the chic of police
Fifty cents" vas the only bid,
and it was made by the Police
Judge. "Fiity cents once, fifty
cents twice, fifty cents three times
and sold to Judge Grefoz."
By the deal. the title to the old
horse passed from the hand of the
late owner. and if the officers OF the
city should choose to kill the animal
to get him out of the way, the e
was no one to bring u cl aim for
damages. Then man came along
who said he would take the horse
home with him to L ,bster, and
give him an easy time for the rest
of his life. So Judge Greffoz part
ed without price with his late pur-
chase, and the old gray started with
a new master lor the Alsea country.
But the ''best laid plans of mice
and mea oft gang agle'. and when
next heard of, the old gray was in
the vicinity of Thomas Cooper's
place, where his efforts to get out
frightened passing teams, and
brought feeling of pity to the
hearts of passing men. He was un-
able to travel, aud all the new
owner could do was to leave the
old gray to his fate. Various re-
ports came to town of the wretched-
ness and misery of the old animal.
and at last, accounts the county
court was preparing to take means
to bring relief from his troubles,-
those troubles that come with age,
for the helpless old creature.
