Health Rules.

Walking is good for the health unless
an automobile happens to run down
the walker, dattening him out like a
pancake, breaking .thirty-seven of his
favorite bones and injuring his feelings
somewhat. Then it isn't quite so good.
+ All Of these health rules must be TAX
en- with grain Of allowance, and some
Of them with two grains and pinch
of common table salt.
Take this exercise Of walking that
comes SO highly recommended by peo-
pie who never use it. 1t may be all
right, but persons Of vast experience
will tell you that it isn't to be COM
pared with running as heakhful ex-
ercise if a policeman happens to be hot
on your trail.
The politician who comes back from
Washington oficeless counting the ties
to see If they are all there thinks walk
ing may be all right in its place; but,
according to his fixed opinion, its place
is in the bottom of the sea.
