Your Afternoon Walk.
BY n. ApD,NGToN BRUCE,
Author of The Riddle Of Personality.
Psychology and Parenthood." etc.

Vacation DAYS are over. and you have come
hack 10 the city with take IL, an increased
appreciation of the value Of fresh air and exer
else Heneeforth il perhaps is your intention to
get some exercise in the open air every Cay, II
only TO the extent of walking home from your
place OF work.
Well. an afternoon walk is an admirable thing.
Walking indeed is one Of the best forms OF ex
ercise. Many authorities say IL is THE best form
OF exercise
Aside from the physical benefits IL confers 1t
has the special advantage of being cheap. AS
Or Edward Curtis has witty pointed out, II
requires no apparatus more expensive than
pair OF good shoes. And II is possible in any
place and season.
But TO get the best results from it-for that
matter, to stick 70 your resolution of taking a
walk every afternoon-there are certain rules
you will have TO follow.
The first and most important OF these is to
make il a practice TO DISMISS FROM YOUR
MIND FOR THE TIME BEING ALL THOUGHT
lOF YOUR DAILY WORK the moment you set
foot outside your factory store, or Office and
start on your homeward walk.
II you fail to do this, If you persist in think
ing scheming and worrying about your work,
you will be defeating Of the chief aims OF
exercise This aim il TO DEFLECT THE MIND
INTO NOVEL AND WHOLLY PLEASURABLE
CHANNELS.
Walking cannot give you this necessary men
tai DETECTION unless you allow IL 10 do so. For
get your work. and turn your attention 10 the
varied sights Of the street along which you are
passing
You are certain 10 much that will interest

you will speedily discover that your afternoon
walk is "a MIND ENLARGER as well a BODY
BUILDER.
You will look forward TO IL every day. as TO a

tant 10 omit the daily and fascinating tramp

A Poem a Day
the CRY IN THE SEA.

TnE CITY IN THE SEA.
l'o' Death has reared himself a
throne
In strange city lying alone
Ear down within the dim west
Where the good and the bad and the
worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest.
There shrines and palaces and towers
erime.eaten towers that tremhle
Resemble nothing that is ours.
Around, 10y Lifting Lifting winds forgot.
The melancholy waters lie.
No rays from the holy heaven come
On the long night-ti OF that town:
But light from out the lurid sea
Streams up the turrets silently
CLEANS up the pinnacles far and
Up domes-up spires-up kingly
Up fanes-up Rabylon-like walls
Up shsdowy long-forgutten bowers
~ sculptured ivy and stone fiowers-
Up many and many marvellous
shrine
Whose wreathed friezes intertwine
The VOL. the violet and the vine.
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
SO blend the turrets and shadows
That all seem pendulous In air.
While from proud tower in the
town
Death looks gigantically down.
There open fanes and gaping graves
Yawn level with the luminous waves
But not the riches there that lie
In each IDOLS diamond eye
Not the gRyly ieweled dead
Tempt the waters from their bed
For no ripples curl. alas,
Along that wilderness Of glass
No swellings tell that winds may be
Upon some far-oir happier sea
No heavings hint that winds have
been
on seas less hideously serene.
But 10. a stir IL In the air,
The wRve--there Is movement
there
As " the towers had thrust aside,
In Slightly sinking. the dull tide
As II their tops had feebiy given
4 void within the flmy heaven
The waves have now a redder glow
The hours are breathing faint and
low
And when. amid no earthly means,
Down. down that town shall settle
hence,
He'll. rising from thousand thrones.
Shall do II reverence.

fact that Col. Roosevelt is not a

Keir Hardie Dies Another
Victim of the Senseless War

The work done by Keir Hardie for the
working man of Great Britain and con-
seouently of the world, cannot be real
lied or measured by words.
Peculiarly constituted, with a heart
fun of sympathy, sound conception OF
Justice and the ability TO make practical
his ideas and theories. he was a most I'M
usual product of the age.
Added TO this was his intimate know
ledge through birth, natural environ
ment and experience, of the life and
needs of the working man and the con-
jitions under which he lived,
Until 1884 the laborer of England had
a partial municipal vote, but none in the
counties.
In 1898, by the superhuman efforts OF
Keir Hardie, the Independent Labor
party was brought into existence.
1t was, according to Hardy's own
words. 1.-The logical and inevitable out
come of popular suffrage sign OF the
determination of the people TO have gov

foe of progress') and war.
II was frankly socialistic and brought
about the bills for old age pensions. pay
ment of trade union rates to all govern
ment officials. recognition of unions by
government departments.
II stood for woman suffrage, new tax
alton of land values, naturalization OF
canals.
Hardie bitterly opposed the Boer war
and wrote many articles denouncing 1t.
boldly stating that it was brought about
by the capitalist class for its own gains
and that the press was subsidized to
create a false patriotism and offer false
inducements to the laboring classes.
When the present war broke out, he
delivered burning scathing speech at
the socialist meeting in Trafalgar
square, at which the socialist leaders of
the various countries were present.
He hoped that the socialists of all ma
tions would stand solidly together and
prevent the war.
When they upheld the government,
when race consciousness overcame their
professed convictions of justice, he re-
tired. broken down man.
All his dreams and hopes for the
working man had crumbled into dust.

ich fastened upon him.

FASTING
EY Or. FRANK CRANE

We eat too much.
Go to one of those table d'hote din
ners and imagine the person that fills
up on that sort of thing once day, be-
sides hearty breakfast and good
lunch. Such a one consumes about ten
lines more food than he needs.
When our appetite refuses to respond
we whip it up with cocktails.
We carry around mass of rotting
waste with us constantly. Our colon
is stuffed with sewage.
No wonder we are sick. We are walk
ing garbage cans.
From this come poisons. We are auto
infected. rheumatism, neuritis, liver
trouble, diabetes, Bright's disease, heart
weakness, Indigestion, brain flag, and
what not all come from that disease

are carrying about in the colon.
We think we are healthy if we have
a movement of the bowels once day.
We should have three or four, like

Fomon said this, heard the remark and
decided to quit eating.
