SIMPLE ADVICE AND SOUND
"Walk," sayj an expert from the United States health
department. "Walk for the sake of walking."
Commenting on this "advice, the Telegram says:
"The federal health department has much else to say
about walking tha is more easily epitomized than quoted. It
lsat pains to show that despite the more sanitary ways of
living which have obtained of late years, the death rate above
the age of 40 is increasing. The greater number pf pedple
who find sedentary employment, and from middle age on.
cease to walk altogether, or nearly so, is assigned as the chief
reason for this. We do not propose to discuss whether this
Is theory or fact; whether it is a proper deduction or just sci
entific fancy. It will occur to most people, however, as a mat
ter of common knowledge that walking is fast becoming a lost
art and an' abandoned enjoyment.
"The average man of affairs feels that it is rather be
neath his dignity "to wjilk to or from his business- Indeed, the
chances are that if he hag ah errand during .the day which
takes Tiim' a few"blbc'ks fromhis office, he will jiimp on a "car,
hail a jitney," or call a'taii'calj. Th6 aVeragevbusiness man's
excuse for all that sort of thin" g- is that it saves him time, and
time with film Is5 money."
In the, long run this is all a mistake, for the pleasure and
beneficial effects of walking, when the practice is once culti
vated as It should be, will add years of tiriie that aire lost to
the' average lifd. For walking in the open as a daily-exercise
is a toiiic that tends to insure good health and bodily
vigor and prolong life.
"Nor Is the very joy of it the least of 'it. The morning
walk from the suburban home to the office is a tonic that
serves invigoratingly throughout the day. It is a tonic that
with the novice has to be taken cautiously at first; indulged
perhaps with something of an effort. But the fine effect of
the crisp morning air as it fills the lungs with oxygen and
sends the blood racing through the veins is not long delayed.
" It produces delight. It makes you feel that you are alive. It
gives you a touch of exhileration that puts you in finest fettle
for the day's work.
"Try it. Walk until you begin to like it, and you soon will
wonder how it is that all these years you have not been walk
ing simply for the pleasure there is in it."
TOWNS THAT ARE ACTIVE AND OTHERWISE
Commenting on a note in The News last week about
the forthcoming business men's banquet for the farmers,
the Canby Herald says:
"The town nowadays that does not have a live, active
commercial organization and that does not manifest an
interest in the problems of the farmer and show a spirit of
co-operation in the solution of these problems is rapidly be
coming a back number- As we said Some time ago, the farm
er has a better feeling in his heart for the town that lays
aside the pursuit of its own interests for a day and devotes
itself to doing something for his interest and benefit, outside
of trying to sell him something and get his money."
"A town that is not awake to the interests of its rural
districts ; that is hot. interested in the welfare and develop
ment of its surrounding country, aside from the interest aris
ing' from the prospect of "direct commercial gain; that does
not display a spirit of genuine co-operation and helpfulness
towards the farmers of Its vicinity; that does not make itself
the center of community leadership, development and good
will; that lives solely off the fat of the land, or as much of it
as it can Induce within its confines, giving nothing In return
but the bare necessities which the farmers' dollar will pur
chase'; the town that is and does this cannbt expect to
receive the good will and patronage of its rural populace
to such an extent as does the town whose merchants and
business men take a day off occasionally, invite the farmers
in as their guests, give them a free luncheon, and have some
speakers from the state agricultural college on hand to dis
cuss with them questions that are of interest to' them and
concern their welfare.
KEEP OREGON FREE OF SMOKE
Five thousand members of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce have enthusiastically Joined in a movement
to keep Oregon's atmosphere clear of smoke during the sea
son of 1915. The Chamber itself is sending letters to all cor
respondents in urging co-operation in a movement in this
direction.
With tlie dry season just beginning, it is considered that
calling attention to the large number of tourists coming into
Oregon this year wlH.be' sufficient to arouse the interest of
the people of the statb to the grave situation. Last year
thousands of tourists were disappointed. They camje'to Ore
gon expecting to "seethe1 splendid scenery so widely adver
tised, and oh'thelr'arilVaVfound the brash' teaps'ori',flre from
the Cascade to the Coast range, the atmosphere resembling a
San Francisco fogV Ttio'se 'tourists left T Oregon in disgust
The Cottago Grovo Sentinel and the Portland Spectator
are having n sharp war over tho rulos of grammar, tho uso
of words and of punctuation marks. When thoy have gone
Into tho subject a bit further they will discover, perhaps, that
words and punctuation marks are designed to express hotigut
they are tho tools by which ideas nrocommunlcatc.iL If a
comma gives a shade of meaning that tho writer wants, and
the reader will understand, then tho comma should, be, used
Irrespective of what tho "rules" 3ay. A true mnstor of" Eng
lish invok.es tho referendum on a law of grammar that ham
pers his free and full oxpreBslon of IdeaH.
Oregon is spending'' hundred's of thbusaiuVaVf dofiinVln
building' good roads in many sections of the stato, and tho
work is being pushed with vigor nt this time in order thai
the roads may bo in readiness for tho tourists. . AU this in
vestment will bo wasted and no material benefit gained by
the state should tho usual practice or burning slashings dur
ing tho summer prevail. By concerted olfort throughout the
state, tho season of 1915 may bo made tho most successful lti
the history of Oregon in entertaining tourisis. If their pleas
ure is not interfered with, it is qulto certain that the travel in
years to como will be more than doubled.
"Doctors Eat and Discuss Fees," says a heading in a
Eugene paper. Yes, there are times' when wo would like to
make the doctor eat his fee.
News print paper has been
made by the Forest Service lab
oratory from 24 different woods,
and a number compare favor
ably with standard spruce pulp
paper.
The Forest Service is cooper-
acting with 54 railroads, mining
companies and cities in mak
ing tests of wooden ties, tim
bers, poles, piling and paving
blocks which have been given
preservative treatments.
In 1895 there were 15 wood
preserving . plants operating in
the United States; in 1914 the
number had increased to 122, representing-all
types of plants.
The 1914 figures, based 'upon
Reports from 94 plants, show
that the total number of cubic
feet of material treated with
preservatives was 159,582,C39.
This was an increase of 5.9G8,
751 cubic feet over the total, for
1913. Of this increase, 103,980
cubic feet was made up of piling
and 3,577,571 more cross ties
were handled than during the
previous year.
During 1914, nearly eighty
million gallons of creosote were
used by the. preserving plants of
the United States.
