iccmi Strang that canoeing i not
mora popular than It la. especially for
women. Of course many things have
militated against Its favor.
vIn the first place, it Is expensive; It
is primarily a sport for the classes
rather than for the masses.
Then, too, many women seem to have
n Inherent aversion to the water. They
have no objection to letting some on
row them in a flat-bottomed boat, while
they recline at their ease, attired In a
picturesque costume, shaded by the folds
of a lace parasol, but they can se no
pleasure In paddling bare armed and
headed for miles In the broiling sun.
with perhaps a dipping at the end of the
Journey.
Furthermore, many seem to think that
canoeing Is for some, reason a thousand
times more dangerous than Is plain row
ing. in the first place, the contention that
canoeing Is an expensive pleasure Is
undoubtedly true. A canvas-covered
canoe coats $33 to $40; a cedar one from
166 to 170. Occasionally, ha-rcver. It Is
possible to buy a second-hand one. And
there Is another method by which the
cost may be lessened. That Is. for two
to four girls to club, together and own
ne in common.
Dither they may always us It to
gether, or they may own It turn and
turn about, somewhat In the manner

and then covering It with canvas
all at a cost of about 13.60.
To the second objection there la no
possible reply, for the sportsman or
woman Is born, not made. , But as to
the third, canoeing; Is not dangerous
unless its devotees make it so.
No one who cannot swim, and swim
well, has a r'ght to be on the water
at all, and least of all In a canoe.
Neither has the "boat-rocker" or the
habitual wriggler any place therein.
But. granted sane and sensible per
sons, s. good canoe Is no more danger
ous than is the most staid flat-bottom-ed
rowboat In existence.
CEDAR CRAFT IS BEST
i Of course, discrimination must be
practiced in the choice of a boat. The
day of the "birch-bark canoe" is
over. Cedar Is now the aristocratic
timber, being the lightest, the easiest
tp dry out after a spill and, with good
care, the best running.
It Is. however, the hardest to take
care of and the easiest cracked, and
so the plebeian canvas Is to be preferred
In many cases.
As to the paddles, those of clear
spruce are light, but they flaw and
crack easily. Maple Is twice as heavy,
but Is stronger and better. In going to
the eduntry alwaya take along at least
one maple paddle, In case the spruce
should break.
For two people, a canoe should be
about 15 or 16 feet long; for four. It
should be 18 feet. "
A 17-foot boat should have a 6-lnch
beam In the center. If it Is narrower
It may become cranky and hard to man
aae. The seats should be on a level
with th aunwale.
Having procured your canoe, the next
Important thing is to learn to run itl
It Is Impossible to tell In writing Just

When paddling alone, equalize the

I think it very likely that your gray
hairs are, In part, at any rate, due, to
the neuralgia, or, more probably, to the
habit of worrying, which was its cause.
However, I am giving you a formula
to cure the dandruff, and a general
tonic which will Improve the condition
of your hair. Nothing but a stain can
directly change the color of the hair
you now have, but a tonic will prevent
the new hairs from coming in gray.

Bules for the Seduction of Flesh.
Avoid all starchy and sweetened food, all

with salt, instead of using butler. Milk. I .

water ia an excellent substitute tor other
liquids. Add a little of the juice of limes
or lemons to It, If you choose. Limit your .
sleeping hours to seven at the outside. Ha
naps. You must take exercise.
If you cannot walk at least Ave mile a
day and do not wheel, go to one of th In- .
stttutlons where mechanical massage la 1
given. Several of my correspondents report
excellent results from thlt method of get
ting the vigorous exercise they require. The
system la thoroughly wholesome and not ex
pensive. In reducing flesh on tact to rec
ollect Is that fat is carbon. Oxygen destroys .
or burns out carbon. You mutt consume
the carbon by the oxygen you tak through
your lungs. The more exercise, th more ,
