Walking for Health.
rom the Cleveland Leader.

Some of the most noted of the old men
OF New York. successful in business. the
professions and public affairs. have
formed walking club for the purpose of
length of days and still better health as
agreeable as it is sensible. They intend
to take long walks together and, no
doubt. to make their pedestrian expe-
riences the subject of entertaining dis
cussion and a store of memories held In
common. This is an example which might
we'll be followed In every city of the
United States. In the era of motor We
hicles there Is danger that walking will
be increasingly neglected, especially by
men and women advanced in years who
often need it most. There is a constant
temptation to forget that riding In the
open air. fine as 1t is in many ways, can
never do for the body what walking does.

Manipulation Of Coal Prices.

What are the actual conditions at the
Pennsylvania coal mines? That Is ques-
ton OF much interest wherever anthra-
cite is burned. Last year the suspen-
sion of mining while the unions and the
operators were discussing wages and
hours was said to have decreased the
output SO materially that there wasn't
coal enough to go around. and this was
given as an excuse for marking up the
prices Now. after a mild winter, the
public is informed that there 10 too much
coal i'm stock and that the miners VIII be
laid off three days a week until further
notice" Does this announcement mean
another plan for the maintenance Of high
prices?
