The Daily Tramp.
The morning walk which is part of
the regular days dolngs at the insti-
tute is something from which no in
mate is exempt unless he is physically
disqualified. 1t is taken across the
toughest part of the country. and the
members of the squad are clad in
heavy WOODEN underclothes wooden
socks, blue flannel shirts. leggings and
stout walking shoes. Beginners take
ten mile jog and gradually work up
to fifteen miles. When d man is able
10 cover that distance in two hours he
is known as gladiator" During this
walk no one is allowed oven a sip OF
water and when the pedestrians re-
turn to tho institute they are dripping
with perspiratiou Then they sit for
half an hour in heavy wooden bath
robes thus taking another sweat be-
fore going under the shower bath In
regard 10 the treatment an inmate
wrote recently to friend; "The six
hours | put In every day are harder
on me than a whole week of work in
my Office, but II is doing me good

The presiding genius of the training
institute at White Pljfins was a cav
airy officer during the civil war and
served afterward FOR a time in the
regular army. 1t was while he was
serving with his regiment that he was
/ convinced that most men may be so
built up by regular and simple life
/ that they arc practically recreated.
This was the origin of the idea which
he is now practicing so successfully
among the hills OF Wcstchcster county.
