men who think nothing of chasing q
little gutta percha ball over hill ana

That's the. beauty of golf-its sug-
ar coated exercise.
Golf, you say, is rich mans game
To a degree you are right. Although
the increase of public links every year
brings the game within closer reach
of the man of average means.
But as an exercise, what is golf? ?
Not much more than walking in the
fresh air.
A golf fiend who can afford to ride
in an automobile has been heard to
exclaim: why I'd walk to work or
part way to work, but the streets at
this time of the year are disgusting
they're so filthy"
Yet last Saturday that same man
tramped around nine holes of a new
golf course. Only nine holes. be-
cause from then on the course was
practically a quagmire of mud. NO
part Of it was in proper shape for
playing. but this one particular man
and a few other cronies, simply could
rot wait any longer.
Now take the poor man. Nine
cases out of ten at this time Of the
year he'll advance the same argu-
ments as the rich man against walk
ing to work: Wet, dirty streets.
Yet If he lived near course or
belonged to a golf club there is little
doubt that he, too, would chase the
exasperating little ball through rain
and shine.
Take golf and fresh air. 1t is prac-
tically impossible to play the game
without doing a little deep breathing.
Pious players who slice the ball
are apt to take a good deep breath
instead of doing the cussing they feel
the occasion demands. either less
pious players. after sIicing the ball.
let out such a chestful Of talk that
when they finish they are forced TO
take a deep breath.
Golf does get a man out in the fresh
air; there is no denying that, And
it's a splendid thing for those in
clined or able to indulge in it.
But those who can't golf Of Satur-
day afternoon or Sunday can find
plenty Of walking and fresh air in the
public parks. Or, for that matter
there is nothing, not even lack Of
nickel, to prevent such folk from rid
ing on a street car TO the city limits
and then walking in the open.
If you can't play golf, then do the
next best thing, indulge in plain
walking.
"Eat and Grow Thin.
Mrs. F.. w: If one is naturally
stout it is often exceedingly difficult
to reduce and is uuwise to attempt
to reduce below the individuals nor
NAL. One way which is about as
likely as any to be successful is to
substitute in the diet bulky foods for
the more concentrated ones; to eat
salads, spinach. cabbage, turnips. in
stead of cereals, bread and potatoes.
A book which expounds this method
of reduction in a popular way is called

PimpIes on the Face.

the entire difficulty the contents Of
each pimple should sbe emptied and
the surrounding skin washed with
alcohol to prevent infection of neigh

in overcoming the tendency to their
forma tion will be found in an inn
provement of the general health
through fresh air, exercise and the
avoidance Of rich foods-pastry, |
cakes, candy and the like. If they
persist vaccines may be used, fire.
