WALK WITH YOUR BRAIN.

Have you over realised that one of the best ways in which to hold off the advance of middle age is to walk, not only with, your muscles,, but with your brain as well. ' It is easy to be upright and to swing along with a light step in youth. It is' in middle age, when it begins to be easier not to walk but to take a bus, that you should watch your step. Much more depends upon walking than the mere effort of using' tired limbs, for the moment has arrived when it is essential to walk with the brain, to hold weary shoulders back, and to walks faster than inclination would suggest. Active middle-age walks upstairs to take off its, hat and coat on entering, and fetches slippers* or work basket without asking tired husbands or weary legs just home from school to run for them. It becomes easier every day as the years go on to say, "Just go and see so-and-so-forme, will you ? But a newly-awakened will sees the world with new eyes and is alive to the fact that continuous fetching and carrying for any being in this world is one of the quickest ways to wear down family affection.
