BENEFITS OF WALKING.

Some Thfags to BE Taken Into Con-
liberation.
My walkers are required to take
drafts of cool water while walking.
not a long drink. but a short one.
scarcely more than a double mouthful.
Other rules can be summed up very
simply, says a walking Teacher in the
New York Sun.
Don't walk right after n meal and
don't walk when you feel tired.
Walk before meals and walk when
you feel lively. Walking when one
feels dull and ~lifeless will never as
sist one.
Let your clothing be light, winter
and summer.
Vary your path when walking.
There is no use walking for health
or exercise unless the skin is prepared
for It. The woman who does not take
a daily dip or who is content with a
warm bath and a morning of indo-
lence will find that her walk does her
little good. She must be brisk in her
movements and must prepare her Skin
for outdoor exercise.
Walkers get very tired because Of
the eye strain. They get tired in the
head before they get tired in the feet.
"A man tips his hat over his ewes.
but a woman pulls down her veil and
walks on. A veil makes the head
ache. Better wear a hat that shades
the eyes well.
Women seldom get the best results
from their walking simply because they
do not know enough t 0 dress properly.
The hat should be pinned so securely
that it will stay on and the collar
should be rather loose SO thai the neck
muscles can do their work.
Thin people should walk SLOWLY in
order to get good air and to gain
weight. A slow walk with the cloth
Ing just comfortably adjusted will put
fat on the walker, particularly if she
will stop each hour and take a little
luncheon.
Walkers should learn to take plenty
of muscle food. 1t will not fatten
them. but it will give them endurance.
Apples and almonds are ideal muscle
foods and so are bananas. rice and
red grapes. All fruits that ripen in
the u are good, for the muscles,

Don't think this is any preachment against frater-
nal orders. 1t isn't. They are too useful. They help
too much. Too many of them are real influences for
good in this busy old world Of ours. But a man can
be too much of a lodge man, can't he, when he let's his
lodges interfere with a finer thing and a holier thing
and n thing which must mean more to him than all the
lodges that ever were? Because, be 1t ever so lodge
less, there's no place like home.-Chicago Examiner.

SIGNS OF TRAMP WORLD.

How They Chalk Upon Fences Ad-
vice to Their FelIow-Hobos,
Boston, Dec. ANY one who lives
In a small town ST upon a farm should
be very careful about the character
of the chalk marks which may be
found on the fences.
In some cases it is a good thing to
let them stand; in others, the wisest
course is to get them off just as soon
as possible.
1t is with the chalk mark upon the
fence that the tramp passes the word
along to his fellows regarding the
character of the people who live in a
house and the treatment which may be
expected.
Now, If you see a circle with a cross
