WALKING IS GOOD EXERCISE

Walking is one of the best ex- ercises a person can possibly take. physicians say. To walk properly It Is necessary to keep the head erect, the shoulders back, and the abdominal muscles tense, so that the abdominal yiscera are not aI- lowed to dangle in space, or left to drop into the pelvis. Energy and life must be thrown into the ex- ercise, and elasticity into the step in order for it to De of benefit.
 Deep abdominal breathing must also be practiced- Of course care must be taken not to overdo at first. A short energetic walk Of 15 minutes is of greater value, men tally and physically, than 2 list less spiritess walk of five hours.
 Instead of raw March winds and cold draughts-in other words, out side air of low temperature-being the cause of colds and catarrhal af- fections,"- says Dr. Felix L. Oswold. it is the warm, yitiated, indoor air that is the cause, while out door air is the best remedy. The combination of exercise, abstinence and fresh air will cure the most obstinate cold.
 Air is both food and drink to the lungs. It is more-like water to the body-it washes them clean It is best when pure and bracing One great advantage the persistent walker has is in getting used to al kinds of weather. Exposure to colo and damp will do him no harm although it might be fatal to oth CTS.
 "WalIing. if resoluteIy and judi ciously followed, is a perfect exer else, which taxes the entire SIS tenn. When you walk properly every member and rnusele, ever!

(Woman's National Weekly.l
 The general education board. founded by John D. Rockefeller, has invited expressions of opinion as to the feasibility of establishing a modern school. which. according to Abraham Flexner, assistant secre- tary of the board, who submitted the plan, would revolutionixe the { present education system. ! In announcing the proposed in- novation. which not only would change the curriculum now in vogue in schools and colleges, but would attempt to utilize as its laboratory '.the accessible world. ? The general education board declar- ed it's sole intent was to facilitate the trial of promising educational experiments under proper condi- tiOns.s
 ''The curriculum" Flexner said 'sinciudes nothing for which an af- firmative case cannot be made out. The modern school would drop the study of formal grammar. For such evidence as we possess points to the futility Of formal grammar as an aid to correct speaking and writ ing.
 "A modern school would not go through the form of teaching child ren useless historical facts just be- cause previous generations of child ren have learned and forgotten them; and also would have the courage not to read obsolete and uncongenial classics. simply be- cause tradition has made this sort of acquaintance 8 kind of good form"
 Neither Latin nor Greek, Flexner adds. would be contained in the curriculum of the modern school. mot because their literatures are less wonderful than they are reput- ed to be, but because their pres ent position in the curriculum rests upon tradition and assumption.
 Aside from reading, writing. spelling and figuring, the curricu- lum of the modern school would be built of actual activities. in science. industry, aesthetics and civics. The work in silence would be the cen traI and dominating feature.
 A school trying to produce a re- sourceful modern type Of educated men and women would provide practical training in one or more modem languages"
 Fiexner points to New York as location of the modern school.
 Consider for a moment" he says, tits assets for educational purposes; the harbor, the Metro politan Museum, the Public Library the National History Museum. the geological gardens, the city gov enment, the weather bureau, the transportation systems, lectures concerts, plays and so on. Other communities may have less, but all have much.
 Not only do American children as class fail to gain either knowl- edge or power through the tradi- tlon2l curriculum. but they spend an lnerdinately long time in fail ing." declares Flexner. The per ioe spent in school and college be- fore students begin professional stueses is longer in the United States than in any other western

Calcutta, with it's population of l.
100000, is the second city in the
British Empire.
November fifth was the anniver-
sary Of the battle of Inkermann,
which was fought in 1854.
The relatives of French soldiers
who fall in battle will receive a GER
tificate of glory from their country.
Australia seems to have an mex
haustible supply of marble, which is
found there in many colors, in addi-
tion to pure white.
The population of Greece, includ-
ing that of the new territories ac-
quired after the wars Of 1912-1913,
is about 4,4O0,OO0, or approximately
the same as that of Bulgaria.

Germany has agreed to pay to the
United States an indemnity for the
115 American lives lost when the
Lusitania was torpedoed by Ger
man submarine last May. Germany,
however, refuses to apologize to the
United States for the sinking of the
liner.
The German Empire consists of
four kingdoms-Prussia (Which in
cludes the old kingdom of Hanover),
Bavaria, Saxony and Wurtemburg;
siv grand duchies, five duchies, seven
principalities, the free cities of Lu-
beck, Bremen and Hamburg; and
AIsace-Lorraine, which-for the pres
ent-is an Imperial Province"
1t is affirmed by Stockholm cor
respondent that Britian's submarine
challenge in the Baltic has taken far
greater dimensions than the public of
the countries interested are aware.
The reason is that Germany is con-
cealing the loss of all ships whose
crews get ashore into German ports.
Only when the crews land in Sweden
or Denmark is the loss at once known.
1t is agreed by Swedish newspapers
that the stoppage of the ore traffic
will be a bad blow to Germany
Lulea, the chief ore port, will soon
freeze up, and this year an excep-
tionally large number of German
ships were taking in ore, the aim be-
ing to get a sufficient supply before
the winter.

United States Senator VIM.
Hughes, of New Jersey, Chairman of
the Senate Committee on Expendi-
lures in the Navy Department, writes
to Chas. H. H. German, Of Ridge
field Park, N. j., that he has ap-
proved, recommended and will be
insistent for the construction of
Battle Cruisers" sea-going sub
marines, and terpedo-b boat destroyers
of superior gun-power, speed and
range from 10 per cent. to 80 per
cent in excess of any such now afoat

able, built in government-owned
yards; and would suggest even to
defer for the present the construc-
ton of the slower-going battleships.

Battle Cry OF Peace
A Powerful Argument

The "Battle Cry of Peace" made
it's first appearance in Boston in the
Majestic Theater to crowded house.
The need of preparedness, not for
but against war, was greatly en-
phasized and made an impression in
the mind of every thinking person
present.
Modern devices of war were shown
and the inadequacy of the defense Of
this country was revealed. Scales are
shown which compare the armament
of this country with others, such as
England, France, Russia, etc., and it
is shown how poorly we compare with
the other powers.
The possibilities of hostile army
invading New York, and the amount
of damage that could be wrought is
wildly pictured, and, though it is
merely conjecture, the tremendous
possibility of such an invasion is
made apparent.
Peace contenders are severely
fayed and a bit of humor is shown
at a peace meeting before the inva-
sion which eventually ends in a melee
to which the police are summoned to
restore peace.
The invading force is a purely
imaginary people with nondescript
uniforms. The leader and head of
this force is named Emanon, which,
when spelled backwards, is "no
name"
There is a thrilling scene where a
mother and two daughters are cap
tured by the invaders. Though some
what gruesome, the scene is well act
ed and the heroic sacrifice made by
the mother impresses with realistic
force the suffering of the women in
times of war.
Capt. Jack Crawford, scout, poet
and veteran of the Civil War, gave
patriotic address and urged more
attention to the issue of prepared
ness.

"The year 1915 has witnessed
