WALKING FOR HEALTH.

Who has not heard that certain exercises are
good for because they shake up" the liver? But
it is not the best thing in the world to shake up
the liver violently unless is trained athlete,
and ordinary men and women are very far from
being in that category. Exercise increases large
ly the ivers production both of bile and of sugar
Hence If it be more violent than that to which one
is accustomed, more bile and sugar may be formed
than can be taken care of by the system. and the
subject may have what is called in popular parance
bilious attack" Now this Is where walking
comes in as happy medium in exercise. We can
often walk Off, headache or q digestive dstur
bance when running would only aggravate the trou-
BILE
1t is a fact supported by the highest authority
that a moderate exercise. such walking. is a
great aid to digestion. To run would retard dges
ton. In other words. you will digest your dinner
better il you walk Immediately after having eaten
1t. than If you sit still. Try this. and Il you
thin you will gain in weight besides saving more
in the cost of living than will lose in the
and tear of shoe leather.
But suppose you are already corpulent will walk
ing after meals. in that case. make you stouter?
No. Paradoxical as the statement may sound.
walking will in that case make you thinner. Fat
Is very unstable compound and when 1t is pres
ent in excess more of it is destroyed by the in
creased amount of oxygen in the blood-due to the
exercise-than is deposited by the blood. while
the other hand when adpose tissue is deficient the
oxygen-bearing blood. which also carries fatty par
ticles. deposits more fat than 1t destroy. and
thus the thin subject grows heavier.
Walking then in the open air is an exercise par
excellence for everybody. It shakes up the liver
just enough to keep it in good working order. it
enriches the blood by increasing its amount Of
oxygen, thus favoring the destruction and elimina
ton from the system of poisonous waste products.

finally by stimulating activity of nutrition in the

THE MODERN BUNGALOW

The fathers, and especially the mothers, of generation ago, thought that a second story and parlor were necessities to their houses. How ever, hall was the only proper entrance, and to sleep on the first floor was thought unhealth- fu as well as difficult for the timid. They also regarded "parlor" as essential fer the recep
 lon or guests and for containing all the choice furniture and ornaments. But the modern bungalow IS all first floor, with one large room, known as the living roOrn into which the front door usually opens. This living room is quite the largest room in the house. and it's furnishing IS Tn the approved mission style, in harmony with the straight lines that characterize the architecture of the house, It has fireplace and wide hearth with numerous lights to suit the convenience of different members of the fam fly.
