HEALTH AND JOY IN WALKING
Pedestrian Sure to Live Longer Than
His Brother Who Negiects Exer-
else In Open Air.

Some put walking on the shelf with
many others Of the lost arts" No
one ever walks now except the mem
bers Of the Switzerland club, Boy
Scouts and the Womens Hiking band.
And they overdo 1t.
DR.. r. q. Castelar,, superintendent
OF the General hospital. believes the
body should never be tired after exer-
else. He says never walk to the point
Of exhaustion. And never walk more
than two miles at one time. The man
who goes for 20-mile walk for fun
Is not only looked upon as mild sort
OF lunatic, but really is one.
Surely the busiest business man has
time to walk two miles each day. It
would only take 80 minutes. and he
might never have to have family
physician. Even walk once week
helps lots. Try It next Sunday.
Put on an old sweater and walk
briskly, but not hurriedly." DR.. Cas-
-telaw says. Stand erect and breathe
through the nose. Air taken into the
Dody through the mouth goes direct
to the lungs while cold. Air taken In
through the nose passes through all
the nasal passages and Is warmed by
the time 1t reaches the lungs. Make
the breaths long and deep.
Oxygen Is deadly poison to some
things-chief among which Is the
tuberculosis and meningitis germs.
Breathe deeply and kill them. Walk.
ing exercises every muscle In tho
body, except, possibly, the muscles Of
the face. And II man looks around
at the beauties OF nature while he Is
walking he will exercise those. Walk
and you'll never have q cold. lung

Valuable Food Product.

II has been proved In India and the
Malay Peninsula that the produce
from one acre Of bananas. or plan.
tains. as the fruit is termed in that
region, will support much greater
number of people than q similar area
under any other crop, and the i'm.
mense yield may be preserved for an
indefinite period by drying the fruit
and preparing meal from It. Plantain
meal is made by stripping of the
husk, slicing the core. drying 1t In the
sun, and, then reducing It to powder,
and finally sitting. It is calculated
that the fresh core will give forty per
cent. of meal and that an acre OF
average quality will yield over a ton.
