Walking will cure practically every
known disease that is due to lowered
vitality and when | make this state
ment l include nearly all diseases
1t it not especially recommended in
acute ailments, though in some cases
of this sort it will bring about recov-
cry so speedily that the ordinary phys
ician would refuse to believe that the
symptoms of the disease were in any
way associated with the complaint that
would ultimately have developed If
the functional stimulus in the form of
walking had not been adopted.
Walking will cure consumption--in
any durable stage 1t will cure rheum
atism, chronic and acute, if you are
able to walk.
1t will cure Brights disease, if not
too far advanced.
1t will cure many cases of diabetes.
1t will cure cancer in its incipient
stage and in some advanced cases.
1t will cure nervous troubles of all
kinds. But why prolong the list?
1t is not necessary to keep in mind
the absolutely proven fact that walking
will cure every disease that is due to
lessened vital resistance-lowered
vitality.
Ordinary walking in comfortable
pair of shoes will bring about slowly
but surely changes for the better. Bare
foot walking will bring about far
quicker changes. Whether or not the
contact of the bare feet with the earth
enables the body to acquire additional
magnetism which assists the body in its
functional processes, is an open ques-
ton; but the fact is definitely acknowl-
edged that barefoot walking will in
crease strength far more rapidly than
walking in shoes.
Walking will increase the vital vigor
of the organism, first of all by strength
ening the lungs. You breathe more
deeply more oxygen is absorbed into
the body, more waste elements, carbon
dioxide, etc, are eliminated, the heart
action is increased, the digestion is
materially improved, assimilation is
greatly facilitated and the entire ali
mentary canal becomes stronger. The
tissues of this very important part of
our organism become more alive, the
bowels become more active. Constipa-
ton, whenever it may exist is always
cured, the circulation throughout the
entire body is materially increased.
Every live cell throughout your organ
ism becomes more vigorous and dead
cells are carried out more quickly,

$4,000

A prominent playwright puts
his typewriter in his trunk and an
nounces he won't write any more
plays until income taxes come down.
His plays pay him royalties of $1O,-
900 a week, and the tax man takes
about half of it..
OF course, it's like pulling teeth,
to hand over $4,000 a week in taxes.
That leaves only $4,000 for the play
wright But if there weren't any
income tax, it's probable that this
playwright's income would be So
600 a week. Theater tickets cost
more, to provide the tax. The ulti-
mate consumer is paying the tax,
and the playwright is just the pipe
that the tax flows through. There
are others.

THE UNUSUAL

The unusual has happened in

seemingly had reached the point
where some one asked to put u
patch on the Constitution every
time an opportunity was offered.

TOM SIMS SAYS

There will be SO Tuesdays in
1924, if not prohibited by law.
March has five pay days, but that
is when The income tax is due.
Five pay days bath May, but that
is when Summer clothes are due.
Five pay days hath August, but
that is when vacations are due.
Five pay DAYS hath November,
but that is when winter suits are
due.
This 1924 is Leap Year. The ex-
ira day comes on Friday, which is
considered unlucky for bachelors.
Friday is fish day, Friday, Feb.
20, bachelors viii be the fish.
We could use this extra day in
Leap Year learning how to tie a
bow tie Or blow smoke rings.
We might spend the extra day
in 1924 Tearing why women still
wear their shoes too small.
The extra day we get this Leap
Year could be used in wondering
why picnics are sure sign Of rain.
On the extra 1924 day we could
visit the laundry and ask why thel
like to tear button off Of shirts.
Next Feb. 20 we could use to ask
the company why streets cars are
usually going the wrong way,
The extra day We get this Leap
Year might be spent learning why

IGNORANCE

The whole world has a population
IN times as big as the United States.
However, we spend as much on edu-
cation as all other countries COM
bined. The result is high standard
Of intelligence, the result of which
in turn is our highest standard of
living.
But it does seem, considering the
money we spend for education that
its s. ding should be distributed
more evenly, About six and a half
million Americans, over 10 years
Old, can neither read nor write. A
third Of these illiterates were born
right here in America.
