THE NEED FOR EXERCISE.
Golden Opportunity for Those Who

Wanted, by the millions, the ever.

In these words a writer In the Sat.
urday Evening Post voices the popu-
lar cry for an exercise that shall be
more perfectly adapted TO the needs
OF men and women who cannot lead
outdoor lives. Such an exercise must
be one that does not take up too much
time, one that is not an end In itself,
one that makes the blood circulate
and yet does not create lot Of es-
cess muscular tissue which Is useless
In ones daily vocation.
The increasing popularity of golf In
this country is a gratifying expression
Of the popular trend toward healthful
relaxation. Links are rapidly multi.
plying all over the land. The pas
time is interesting to most persons,
fascinating TO many. II takes men
and women into the sunshine and tho
pure air Of the country. Equally fas-
cinating TO others is lawn tennis, q
vigorous game that leaves no muscle
or tendon unused. developing alert.
ness, suppleness and strength.
But neither of these forms of eAer
else is available IN winter, when ex.
ercise is most needed by those who
lead sedentary lives. An effort to
take the mental eXhilaration and mus.
cular activity Of the lawn tennis
court into the home during the long
winter evenings resulted in the game
of "ping pong" but most people
agree that II is poor substitute for
the real thing.
While the bicycle affords an e1er.

moderation. the objection urged
against Il Is that II does not bring tho
upper part OF the body into activity.

stopping a VIVA turkey Fioht.


There are turkey stories as well as
fish stories, II any one should ask
you, and N. P. Bullock (Dock) tells
the following, and VOWS that 1t is
true:
A few days ago he was not far from
Doehead, near the old racetrack back
Of the Sessum field, when he saw
ahead Of him two wild turkey COB.
blers fighting. Mr.. Bullock stepped
out into the bushes. and crept along
till he was opposite the fighting
fowls. So intent were they in their
contest that he was not heard. With
stealthy step he advanced TIL he
was almost upon them, and then he
made spring and caught the two by
the neck, one In each hand.
Then ensued battle between man
and birds. With wings and feet the
latter fought, scratching Mr.. Bullock s
arms and tearing his clothing. with
much difficulty one bird was carried
to the ground, where its head was
crushed by the mans foot, while the
other maintained its desperate
scratching with feet and striking with
wing. The first one disposed of, the
other soon fell an easy victim.
Mr.. Bullock says that he had no
idea how strong turkey was before.
The two turkeys were grown gobblers.
with boards nearly three inches long.
