physical perfection.
You (meaning every one) should do
more walking" said The Oriental dip
ICmat, on encountering a Times man
IN the state Department. Walking is
the best exercise in The world and il

tunlty. II develops the muscles OF the
body from the feet TO the head and
MAKES you stronger"

times Of the year. II is just as impor-
