"Footins It" Is Favored.

The United States public health
service has issued a warning that fail
ure to walk shortens life. The medics
make this plea for more pedestrians:
THE death rate after the age of
forty is increasing, in spite Of more
sanitary modes of living. The expec-
tation of life after forty is less than it
was thirty years ago. This is due
largely to increased prevalence Of the
diseases of degeneration.
Take daily exercise. Have hobby
that gets you out of doors. Walk for
the sake of walking. Join a walking
club and keep your weekly scores Of
miles. Gymnasium work is good for
those who like it and can afford it, but
avoid heavy athletics. You may not
burn the family carriage, as Benjamin
Franklin suggested, but at least, as he
advised, walk, walk, walk!"

ON NARROW GAUGE TRACKS
Railroads Used for Warfare In Europe
Have Equipment That Is Espe-
elalIy Built.

Among the adaptations Of devices
Of domestic convenience to the re-
quirements of modern warfare is the
employment of narrow gauge rail-
ways in the supply of trenches on
the battle lines at the front in Eu-
rope. More than 100 such trains, it
is reported are now in construction
at works in Pennsylvania.
These trains, as described, will run
upon a track two feet in width, in
tunnels so small that they can reach
the firing line, right into the trenches,
unseen by the enemy, carrying am
munition, shrapnel, hand grenades
and arms. By so much, it is expected
the resources of the trench fighters
will be supplied. The use of such
miniature trains is an incident of the
evolution of the system of under
ground close-to-hand fighting adopted
in this war.-Boston Post.

to the side of the mail cart, light and
graceful as some fairy.
He had handed her some letters ad-
dressed to her father and a couple of
magazines. She had smiled upon him
In way that set his nerves tingling.
In her embarrassment she had
dropped letters and bundles. Their
heads had bumped together as they
stopped mutually to recover them.
Then both had smiled.

must get a small package to Nellie

Surely" assented Merrill eagerly.
Il can't go there and l can't wait
TO have II mailed"
'As a private individual l am at
your service" bowed Merrill.
"Oh, thank you!" and Pearl Foster
handed him neat parcel, smiled be-
witchingly and fitted away like
frightened fawn.
The Blake home was the last farm
house on MerrilI's route. He delivered
the package to Miss Blake and went
on his way, dreaming fondly of the
lovely girl who had broken the ice of
a mutual acquaintance.
Merrill looked eagerly for his
charming ideal the next day, but It
was raining, so she did not come down
to the mail box at the road. The next

afternoon was fair, but the farm path
leading up to the house was muddy.
From the porch, however, Pearl made
urgent gestures, apparently directing
the attention of Merrill to a package
on top of the letter box.
Merrill saw that it exactly re-
sembled the one he had delivered to
Miss Blake two days previous. 1t
felt soft and fluffy and he decided
it was some article Of feminine adorn-
ment, a lace collar, an embroidered
handkerchief, or the like. Merrill bad
heard that the elder sister of Miss
Blake was about to be married. This
new parcel, he theorized, might be a
contribution to a prospective linen
shower.
At all events he took it up, waved
1t at Pearl to indicate that he under
stood, and his pulse heightened as she
vigorously bobbed her pretty head
and smiled radiantly.
At the last delivery point Merrill
had picked a spray of forget-me-nots.
He released the tiny thing Of beauty
from his buttonhole and placed it be-
tween two letters directed to Pearl.
Then he went on his way.
The next afternoon he sighted
Pearl again on the porch. He hoped
she would come to the road in person
for the mail. Merrill even waved the
letters intended for the house invit-
tngly.
But coy Pearl betrayed an inexpli
cable shyness. She made a gesture
and half hid behind q post. On top
of the mail box was fine bouquet of
red roses.
"Ah, another errand to Miss Blake?"
soliloquized Merrill, taking up the
pretty flowers. He raised them to in
hale their delicate perfume. Then
his heart beat fast. Was it fancy?
Could it be reality? Pearl had waited
him a light kiss with a lighter cooling
laugh, and had flown into the house
as If hiding some conscious guilt in
a breach of decorum.
Miss Blake stared strangely at Mer-
I'M do no htiAuOu b1O bOuAAOb'
She looked at him as If misunder-
standing Then she smiled quietly,
but she took the flowers and thanked
him.
BY this time Merrill was head over
heels in love with Pearl. His heart
fluttered as he hoped that she was in
terested in him. But the next morn
ing she did not even appear on the
porch. The second morning she
passed across the lawn, her chin high
in the air. She actually turned her
back upon him.
The third morning there was a
sheet of paper across the mail box.
1t bore one word:
Stupid"
Merrill went his way, pondering.
When his route was finished he
dropped the reins of the old horse, sat
back in the gig listlessly and saw life
and all its hopes and motives drop
into sea Of despairing gloom.

LATE SUMMER WORK AMONG
THE FLOWERS
Ry HEEEN WAITS M'VEY.

For the window garden get only
plants adapted to such conditions, or
that have been especially prepared for
winter blooming.
Keep them growing, shifting into
larger pots as they grow, and do not
allow them to blossom during the fall.
Old geraniums that have bloomed all
summer will not bloom in the window
garden. Root young plants, or get
them of the florist and get the sorts
that take kindly to house conditions.
Keep them in pots with not too
rich soil and plunge the pots in some
shady place with good light. Pinch
out all buds.
Cutting Of hardowooded plants
should be started to roofing in mid
summer, when the new growth begins
to harden Almost any hardwooded
plant can be propagated by slippings
or cuttings with proper treatment.
The cuttings should be four or FIVE
inches long and inserted three inches
In sand and kept wet and partly shad-

DAISIES EVERY MONTH IN
YEAR

In the mild climate of California and
some of the southern states, daisies
bloom all the year around.
In California these flowers grow
Tery much larger than those of the
East, as do all Pacific coast flowers;
but they seem to lack brilliancy, and
TO many persons are not as satisfac-
tory.
Luther Burbank developed the Shas-
Ia daisy to a very large and beautiful
dover and this is largely taking the
place of the Marguerite or Paris daisy
which has long been favorite with
Californians.
In the colder climates, Of course, 1t

ing every month; but by planting diff.
ferent varieties some OF them may be
kept blooming nearly the entire sum
mer. The daisy is really not a domes'
ticated flower, as a great many low
growing wild flowers are called daisies,
Many varieties are classed as weeds.
In fact, the ox-eyed daisy, which is
plentiful all through New England and
some of the northern states, is called
white-weed.
The chrysanthemums and wild as
ters are called daisies and really be
long to the same family.
While 1t would not be possible per.
haps to have a daisy hedge in bloom
all the year, still by planting tia vari

NUNS and asters some bloom could

has always been used. Its earliest

and, after this, the precious metals.
The first record Of its use is in Cen

that one went So the bride and the
other to the bridegroom; and It is
often copied for modern brides.
