FORGETTING ART OF WALKING
Invaluable Therapeutic Effects of Pe
destrian Exercise a Discovery
of Recent Hygiene.
London. "Walking Is going out of
fashion; if something is not tiono It
will eoon become a lost oxorcisc," de
clared a physician who, supporting
the Lancet's contention, affirms that
tho ill effects arising from a lack of
heallhfuroxcrclse duo to laziness and'
to the motor car, tube, nnd other con
veniences of travel nowaday form
ono of the greatest prohlcms of tho
moment as regards public health.
"Young men are forgetting how to
walk," ho added. "Vet walking is un
doubtedly tho oxerciso for city men.
Howevor busy they uro they onn find
tho short time dally which is tho only
demand this exercise makos. Its very
simplicity makes some pco'plc dis
count it nnd turn to elaborate exer
cises. Yet it is nature's exercise.
"One of tho most striking discover
ies of qulto recent physiology is con
nected with tho therapeutic effect of
walking. Tho action of walking not
to uso stoo technical terms pumps
energy through the frame ns1 does no
other menns known to science. The
wnlkers aro tho health winners, and
it may bo said that walking has a
moral effect not less dcstlnct than its
physical effect.
"A great employer of Inbor has said
that all his foremen o've a long suc
cession of years wcro country-bred
men, nnd ho attributed tiiclr success
solely to tho fact thnt they 'walked to
their work, with tho result that thoy
arrived beyond comparison more fit
nnd vigorous, not to add nioro punctu
ally, than tho 'trammers.'
"tiotitn of n most praiseworthy zeal
for exorcise Swedish exercises, Jnp
nnscso cxcrcls'es. American exercises
como over . people, and theso play
their part. Hut they aro rarely rogu
larly practiced, largely becauso they
aro dull, and at tho best they aro no
proper substitute for tho natural, and,
it is now discovered, tho irreplacablo,
oxerciso of walking."

Curious casc3 of death' counterfeits
woro narrated' by Dr. Hadwcn from
his own experience. During- the
Oloucoster smallpox epidemic of 1896
a child believed to ho dead of con
fluent smallpox was romoved from hos
pital to tho mortuary. Next day a
gardener passing by tho window of
the mortuary heard tho cries of tho
child. The little ono was carried back
to the ward and recovered.
In another caso Dr. Hadwnn had
been attending a child of threo suffer
ing from convulsions with subsequent
exhaustion. Thoro seemed no hopo of
recovery, and ho left tho llttlo patient
ono night thinking ho had seen blm
for tho last time.
Next day when 'tho doctor reached
the cottage tho blinds were drawn and
the broken-hearted parents wcro weep
ing by tho sldo of tho llttlo body,
which lay covered with a white sheet,
and tbo undertaker waB oxpected to
bring tho coffin in a few minutes.
Looking down at tbo supposed dead
child, the doctor fanclod ho could de
tect tho slightest movement or tho
chost. lie tried tho pulso, but failed
to detect a boat. A stethoscope re
vealed a heart beat, and after hot
flannels bad been applied and the
body massaged for tbreo hours tho
child was able to take nourishment

THE WHITE STEAMER WHICH
AS FUEL
Tho most interesting announce
ment ever mado in ronnection with
tho nutomobllo industry was un
doubtedly that mndo n month or two
ago to tho effect that tho new modols
of tho Whlto Steam Cars could bo run
on kcroKcno, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at onco recog
nized thnt tho use of tho new fuol
would add materially to tho advantages-
which tho Whlto already pos
scssed over other types of cars.
There Vero Bbirfo peoplo, however,
who wcro sceptical tia to whether or
not tho new fuel could bo used with
comploto buccpss, nnd, therefore, tho
makers of tho Whlto Car, tho Whlto
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make n public demonstra
tion of tho new fuel In tho 1009 Gild
den Tour.
From tho standpoint of tho public,
no test moro satisfactory could havo
been selected. First of nil, tho dis
tance covered on tho Glldden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver nnd thenco to
Kansas City, was 2650 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
.bring out.nny weaknesses,'!! such lrad
existed. ' Still more Important ivas
the fact that the cur was at ail times
whilo on tho road under tho supervi
sion of observer named by thoso
who entered other contesting cars.
Thererore, it would havo been impos
sible for the driver of the Whlto to
have even tightened a bolt without
tho fact being noted and a penalty In
flicted. At night tho cars woro
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

"A feature of tho tour which was

It was not unusual to nco koroseno
