What do YOU think Of the declaration by The
LADIES' HOME JOURNAL that "the healthy
womanwholoolssh her ageis either stupidorlazy?"
One woman read that statement, and her first
feeling was one of resentment. But it causedher
to think, and to- act, with benefits which left her
deeply grateful. Rarely does woman write such
letter as that which follows over her signature.

WALKING INTO HEALTH

Samuel R. Van SAINT, former governor of Min
nesota, got up at daybreak few mornings ago and
walked from Minneapolis to st. Paul in time to
have breakfast at the home Of his son. -. r--.
It was the former governors 18th anniversary
of his birth and the hike was an annual affair with
him. The distance covered was about II miles.
Twelve miles isn't SO far in an automobile, but
when you start in to wear it away on foot why
well, some Of you lads half the age of Governor
Van SAINT step out and see how far you get before
you begin to yell for help.
If you are toting the average ebay, window" of
the average car-ridng American, by the time you
get to the Teachers college you will be putting like
locomotive; Diamond Point will seem to be
leagues away, and Birchmont seven miles the other
side of China.
Yet this 7s-year-old sturdy Minnesotan reels off
a dozen miles just to get his appetite up for some
bacon and waffles.
For own good, the most of US do not walk
enough. There is no more healthful exercise, and
none more peasant-especially these perfume
laden spring mornings.
1t has been said that to walk ten miles day will
add ten years of life to the average person and
what's more, you will enjoy life better by reason
Of better health.
Sure, the 1ivver will get you there quicker
there is argument on that-but that isn't say
ing it is the best way to get there after all.
A little less automobing and q little more Van
Santing might be change for the better.

steps never grow less. -.
