Walking i. Best Health Aid
For Winter Weather.

With the coming OF cold wea:ll.
er, taking exercise should not be
forgone. It Is needed no ore now
than ever. With the advent ol
winter the appetite for sweet and
greasy things increases, and
most people ovef,eas. To utilize
this amount Of food, plenty Of ex.
ercise in the bracin q fresh ii. is
required.
Among the best exercises and
the one which is within the ra,- 20
OF every one, is walking. tiye
miles day is not too much for
the average person, aud seldom
such weather conditions occur
~ to make this im possible. 1t Is
rot well to walk SO rapidly or 20
far as TO induce excessive ia
tigue. It's not advisable to walk
in the face of a strong wind If il
can be avoided. Those who ave
not accustomed to walking should
begin by going short distance
each day. preferably TN fairly
Ievet ground, gradually increas-
ing the distance and the speed.
The president Of the American
Walkers Association gives this
advice on the proper method o.
walking:
Walk upright, shoulders
back, chest expanded. Allow
arms TO swing freely, step cuI
with a snap. Walk with the hips
not with the knees.
The slow. haphazard, often
slouchy gait Of the ordinary cit:
zen Is not walking. 1t J., u poor
imitation that gets him nowhere
and is oi little or no value a. .

The envoy promised check for this
