GET OUT AND WALK
XVyALKING in circle within bedroom is
M better exercise than sitting in rocker
in the same room; to walk, even in SIM
liar circle outdoors, multiplies the benefits by
several hundred. Walking pavements is adj
visabe where do no better; but, it is
walking on the ground, through the forest over
the hills down the wales, in the jungles, on the
golf-course, along the stream-in such places,
there is sort of exercise it's equal.
The hunter of wild game-the fisherman, or
other outdoor tourist looking for highly desirable
trophies, may return empty handed tired, worn,
discouraged; they may forget that the physical
tests endured are worth many times more than a
full game-bag creel
Nimbleness of foot may be acquired, but not
by repose in the arms of the swivel-chair. An
active, capable body is necessary to health and
success; don't look for them from the window of
touring car along paved highways
All the organs of the body were created for
use-for service; to dwarf their size and destroy
their power by Incidence or laziness, is sin for
which there is no forgveness-the penalty must
be paid. Most if not all of our physical short
comings might disappear if we kept each part Of
our anatomy up to the standard of full capac-
ity by well-directed exercise-and of all the ex-
ercises, walking is among the best
Get out and walk; then walk some more!

Many old timer SCOTS at the idea of sup
ervised play, or &C the idea that play at all is an
absolute necessity to the well being Of child,
or is essential in the bringing up of that child
to a worth while citizenship. But the other day
at Atlantic City DIR. Charles Plat of New York,
president of the National Probation Association
said that playless children make up the principal
part of the prison population.
"To meet this new source of crime,
we must lay down in childhood those
character attributes that will make
normal social life possible" DR.. Plat
