Mix exercise, nutrition for good health By LINDA FRADKIN News Food.Editor GALVESTON Ever wonder how much mileage you put in circling the Galvez Mall? Well, if you really want the kind of info, there are at least 120 people in Galveston who can supply you with the answer. They're the Mall Walkers, citizens who get their exercise many in response to doctor's orders- by putting in daily laps at the shopping center and then recording their progress at the Athletic Attic, a shop located in the mall. Although there had been walkers utilizing this secure, climate-controlled setting for years, it wasn't until September 1986, that an actual organization was formed.

It's an informal grouping, mind you no dues or attendance requirements but participants do register with Marilyn Spector at the Galvez Mall office, 744-7990, in order to receive a newsletter and do attend monthly get-togethers on the second Saturday of each month when they hear speakers and learn which walker has been awarded the prize for the greatest mileage feat of the month.

Save a fistful of money and earn even more satisfaction by collecting seeds from plants. Seeds gathered from petunias, snapdragons, ageratum, marigolds or zinnias produce flowers that will brighten any yard the following spring. These five annuals offer a variety of colors, shapes, heights and continuous blooms. Here's how to gather the seeds, according to Friendly Exchange magazine: Petunias have star-shaped green leaves along the plant's stalk that hold seedpods in their centers. Usually the first thing to dry out and turn brown on a petunia, the pod will start to split open, resembling a small bird's beak.

Pick and split open the pod to catch the cluster of tiny, dark- brown seeds. When zinnia blooms dry and turn dark brown, they resemble bristly pinecones. Pinch, wiggle and pull out edges a few at a time. The seeds at the base look like small arrowheads. Depending on their dryness, colors range from light brown toalmost black.

To gather algeratum seeds, pick off a dried blossom and slowly roll it between thumb and forefinger over a sheet of paper. For easier separation of the tiny petals and the small, slate-gray rectangular seeds, blow lightly on the pile.
