THE VALUE OF WALKING.

Whether or not it is fact that
those who live to a ripe old age can
tell others how to do so, or set forth
rules for longevity that will work as
well for someone else as they have
for them. there is no question but
what much reliance is placed in the
advice many Of them are willing 70
give. Some have followed certain
rules. others have been the advoca ties
Of what frequently are called fads
and still others have become nonogen-

the simple life and respecting the laws
of nature.
