A GOOD WALKER.
DOCTOR'S DAILY STROLL. Forty-four miles in one day over rough roads at the age of 64 Is the holiday walking record ot Dr Sir John Robertson, medical officer of health for Birmingham, while In Switzerland. The majority of people are debarred, he says, from walking—the greatest of all exercise—through foot deformities due to 111fltting boots. He urges that boot salesmen should be so educated that they will see that customers are properly fitted. He hopes to arrange demonstrations by people who have a knowledge ot the footwear worn by the working classes, to ensure that the people in most need of the beat foot comfort shall have an opportunity ot obtaining it.
