There will be fewer anaemic boys and young men and girls if they will indulge in more walking at this time of the year. Less riding In carriage, cars and automobiles and more heel and-toe exercises on the country roads and paths should be the plan of all such persons. A certain eminent judge in Oregon takes long distance walk every morning and he is good eater" A prominent lawyer cured himself of stomach trouble by doing the pedestrian act each morning. go- ing out into the country for several miles and back. A young woman, who was engaged in clerical work in one of the local offices, found that health was being impaired by too close at tention to her duties. She had al ways believed that she could not de rive any benefit from walking and preferred to buggy ride" A friend induced her to take up walking as 6 daily physical exercise She did SO and the change in her health is very satisfactory to herself and relatives. The atmosphere prevailing during the early morning hours just as old Sol has risen is glorious as well.

WESTERN RAILROADS GIVE IN.
Trunk Line Association Not to Appeal
From |. c. C. Decision.

Chicago, March 2.-Thirty-fve west
ern railroads decided to make no ap-
peal from the recent decision of the
interstate commerce commission de-
nying the roads increased freight
rates. They will accept the decree of
the commission as final.
The decision was reached at meet
ing of representative of the roads at
the Western Trunk line association
Headquarters The opinion was adj
vanced by many that the roads would
be unable to make you stronger show
ing before the new commerce court
than they had before the commission
and that once the new court had ruled
it's decree would be binding for two
years.
1t also was argued that if the roads
comply with the decree without objec-
ton and withdraw the advanced tariffs
before March 10, there would be an
opportunity at later date to submit
advances on certain rates, some of
which may meet with favor.
