WALKING FOR HEALTH.

Who has not heard that certain exercises are
good for us because they shake up the liver? But
1t is not the best thing in the world to shake UP
the liver violently unless is trained athlete
and ordinary men and women very far from
being in that category Exercise increases large
ly the livers 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 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 a digestive dstur
bance when running would only aggravate the trou
BILE.
1t is fact, supported by the highest authority.
that moderate exercise, such as walking, is
great aid to digestion. To would retard diges

better if you walk Immediately after having eaten
It, than If you sit still. Try this, and e you are
thin you will gain in weight, besides saving more
in the cost of living than you will lose in the wear
and tear OF shoe leather.
But suppose you are already corpulent, will walk.

She Burned the House.

A woman in Montana sat down the
other day and thought about house
cleaning-about the carpets and rugs
to clean, the woodwork to wash, the
bedding to wash, the curtains to wash.
the portieres to wash, the stairways
and the railings and the floors and the
steps and the windows and every
thing else to be washed and cleaned
and she got so worried over the
prospect that she set fire to the house.
Do you blame her? II she had only
known as you do that Easy Task soap
will do half the work of washing and
cleaning. she would have felt more
cheerful. It's nickel cake and one
woman said she would pay dollar q
cake for 1t If she could get 1t no other
way.

J sin senator's voice seemed to be actually In bet
ter condition during the closing hour Of his ad
iress than 1t was during the opening hour.
The Wisconsin senator naturally has rather 9
raspng voice which like the voice of Gore of Ok
lahoma is open to the Yankee characterization, but
twang, accent, idiosyncracy whatever you may
choose to call 1t, passes with the first few minutes
of utterance. The roughness is smoothed away and
the words fall smooth and rounded and with
tain appealing force even though the subject have
nothing of appeal
When senator has the floor in his own right
he talk upon any subject under the sun. He
does not of necessity have to conne himself to the
subject in hand. So 1t was that La Toilette did
not speak entirely of the currency question, but
about other matters we'll. Occasionally in order
that he might spare his brain the trouble of thought
and so keep 1t unwearied he read from book Of
fiction.
During many of the hours La Toilette spoke
there were comparatively few senators in the cham
ber. Hour after hour he spoke and then taking
up his book of fiction he read with perfect
gard for the rules of enunciation His auditors were
all sleepy and most of them were out of humor be-
cause there were only two who were in sympathy
with the speaker, and yet perforce every person
in the chamber gave heed to what La Toilette was
reading For its subject matter perhaps they cared
not whit, and yet by the force of his reading elo
quence he drove 1t home to their attention
When La Toilette had ceased speaking Senator
Gore OF Oklahoma, who as had been planned took
up the work and kept at it for some hours. He was
relieved by Senator Stone of Missouri, who already
was tired with his previous vocal attempt to keep
the senate from vote. The Missourian kept 1t up
for seven hours and then Gore relieved him once
more. That filibuster ended because Gore being
blind, failed to note and one told him. that SEN
ator Stone whom he expected to relieve him.
