WALKING for Nerves.

The nerves suffer from want OF pure
oxygen. They run like network all
through the skin and when they are
overwrought tho skin is apt to be dry
and colorless. Walking is an excellent
tonic for the nerves. It gives them
strength to control themselves.
II ono has means or leisure, there
are plenty of other more enjoyable ex-
ercises. But few forms are SO bene-
ncial as the regular daily jaunt of four
