PEOPLE TAKING TO WALKING
Become a Popular Fad Among
All Glasses.

Walking has taken a hold on popu-
lar fancy as sport, pastime. recrea-
ton and form OF exercise. Walking
has been urged upon the people by
men and women interested In public
health. by physical culture enthusi-
asts. by nature students and by the
press. Every person converted to
walking has become a missionary, and
unusually with all the spirit OF a con-
vert The walking habit, which is be-
ing contracted by an increasing num-
Der of persons yearly. is a relatively
new habit.
In those days usually referred to
glowingly and somewhat Indefinitely
az the good old times" walking was
not practiced as a pleasure. but only
as a necessity. and as a necessity 1t
was avoided wherever possible. The
average person did not move around
much unless with the aid OF a horse
or a horse and trap. There was not
much going to and fro on foot. Walk
ing was apt to be considered as a sign
OF poverty or as evidence OF dementia
On the other side of this question It
may be said that in the olden time
more men got their exercise in the
open by their daily work than now
Cities were small. and men were
generally not called on to walk long
distances. The cab or the omnibus
came into operation on the city thor
oughfare. then the horse car. the
cable and the electric car. Now the
automobile is here. The ratio of in.
door to outdoor workers increased
and the means and opportunities for
moving from place to place without
much physical exertion multiplied.

The Itch for Regulation

In the great state of New York a
convention is in session for the pur-
pose OF revising the state constitution.
This is an era in which many people
act as if there can be no limit to the
efficacy of laws, and as if constitutions
instead of being reserved for the lay
ing down of general principles, should
be made to embody provisions re-
stricting this, that and the other.
There is ample provocation for the
satirical vein in which the Syracuse
Herald INDUCES when it proposes the
following restrictive provisions for
incorporation in the new constitution
of New York:
Abolishing the tail end in the league
records of professional baseball.
Forbidding the use Of toothpicks on
the public highway.
Establishing a maximum limit for
theater encores.
Forbidding male adults to wear wrist
watches.
Prescribing open and closed seasons
for straw hats and fur caps.
Restricting the number of words
that may be used in letters to the ed
itor.
Establishing an age limit for after
dinner jokes.
Regulating tag day in the direction
Of greater infrequency.
Furnishing violations of neutrality in
the repertories of street organs.
The Herald will render a service to
the Empire state if it succeeds in max
ing ridiculous the incorporation of
minor regulatory provisions in the
state constitution.-Evening Wiscon-
sin

TEETH AND THE DIGESTION
Importance OF Proper mastIcstion Of
Food 10 Seldom Given Proper
Consideration.

From the time food enters the
mouth and Is masticated until its
waste has left the body the func-
ton of digestion goes forward through
Its various stages
Mastication, accomplished in the
mouth. is no doubt the most impor'
tant stage OF this function.
Defective teeth are a threat to
health by reason OF impairment Of
mastication. and consequently OF d.
gestion.
While the vigorous stomach may at
tack particles OF food Of considerable
size and resistance. the process OF
digestion is naturally slowed up in
proportion TO the magnitude and firm
ness of the unground PARTICLES.
In addition to this. the admixture
of healthy saliva to the food during
the process OF mastication is OF no
little consequence, especially In the
digestion OF starch.
Thus defective teeth not only In
lure by reason OF imperfect mastica-
tion. but likewise by reason OF fall
ure to properly incorporate the sa-
Iva with the finely divided particles
OF the food while 1t is still in the
mouth.
It's an old saying. but wise one.
that people dig their graves with
their teeth" Take care OF your teeth
and save your health and lengthen
your life.

Contentment

In the great town of Lifeopolis
Where both the rich and poor
Rub elbows; where the great and the
small
Converge, caught by the lure
There stands a monumental shrine
Known as the Hall of Fame,
And those who dare its portals fair
May win an honored name.
Upon the heights the temple stands
The stairway to this hall
Is built of Excellence and Worth
And yet, how many fall!
Many of humble birth arrive
While some of noble caste
Make for the prize no sacrifice,
And Failure meet at last.
Some reach the gateway unannounced,
Unrecognized, unknown,
And wait until Posterity
Their tardy honors own;
But others seek humble manse
Where written on the door
You read in gold these letters bold,
CONTENTMENT-andn no more.
