DWARD PAYSON WESTON, aged 72 years,
is the youngest old man in the world Not
satisfied with a mere statement of this
fact, Weston has proven it by walking
from New York to San Francisco, dis
tance of 1900 miles, in 100 days, Sundays
excluded.
His arrival in Frisco just the other day
is proof enough that there is only one
Weston. 1t was one of the greatest walks
ever undertaken by any pedestrian.
With the chilly March winds making
walking difficulty along Broadway, New
York, Weston on the fifteenth of the
month started his long, tedious, coast-to-
coast lope and the biggest pleasure of his

But at the same time the pedestrian Is said
to be comparatively poor man. On his walk
in 1908 from Portland TO Chicago, he en-
tered the Windy City with the expectation of

any great extent.
To show his absolute integrity is an offer
which was made to him, and rejected by him

a shoe device. He could have turned his sig
nature to the companys testimonial into sew
eral thousand dollars on the spot, had he
chosen to sign paper, stating that he had
worn the shoe contrivance on his journey and
found it satisfactory. He had not worn it, and
refused the offer without seconds hesitation.
For him pedestrianism is one great round Of
pleasure. He likes to walk and the agreement
he made to traverse the continent in 100 days
simply furnished more than three months of
enjoyment.
That was Weston's idea, The agreement was
In sense, secondary matter. His vigor, VI
tality and recuperatve powers are declared
wonderful by physicians who have studied him.
He is probably the greatest athlete of the age
everything considered.
BY post roads the distance from New York
to San Francisco is 1900 miles, but according
to the estimate furnished by Mr.. Weston and
his manager the distance is 1900 miles, which
being accomplished in 100 days, excluding Sun
days, necessitates tramp averaging 46 miles
each day.
Considering the many setbacks which are
hound to occur on such journey as this the
progress which Weston made was considered
remarkable.
It was declared that the automobile which
was following Weston deserted him in the west
because that particular make of car failed to
get the amount of publicity desired. This was
something of setback for the old man, be-.
cause the machine carried provisions. refresh

Smiling upon everyone in general, bowling to

good nature which his manager declared as

again taken up.
Cow paths, big paved city streets, country
roads, bitches, rights of way belonging to rail-
roads, and often mere trails through the woods
furnished the line of travel for the great jour
ney of this aged athlete.
Intense enthusiasm was manifested all
through the west, and true hospitality of the
plains was accorded him after he, departed
from Chicago. Only a year previous, he had
passed along the same New York-Chicago
route, and he seemed an old friend to the
countrymen. Consequently, like every old
friend, his feat did not cause nearly so much
CONSERVATION there as in the west.
Mercy how do you take care of your corns,
walking as much as you do?" whtehaired
grandma in Indiana asked Weston, as he
quenched his thirst at her well.
20, they're just ordinary feet. have few
corns, but cold water is the best medicine
they know. 1t keeps them in great trim"
Weston wore out dozens of pairs of shoes
during the journey. He had to have an espe-
cially piable shoe, one which neither pinched
his feet nor was too loose and one of the diff
ficulties of the trip was procuring just the
correct footwear.
1t was 40 years ago and more that Weston
startled the country by one of his especially
long walks. When passing through Illinois on
his last venture, he encountered an aged
farmer who was summing himself In front of
his farm home.
Hard work had told on the nlinoisan's
physique. He looked little like the young man
who had stopped his plowing one spring morn

leaving him 27 days for the trip

Even when Weston had so near

safely traverse the Great Salt Lake

the great cities who were skeptical
as to the walkers ability to reach
his destination.

ORIGIN
or a Famous Human Food.

The story of the great discoveries
or inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find a food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that a food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food 1t contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi-
ness and marked activity of the brain
and nervous system, making it a
pleasure for one to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
It's favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of, C. w Post, is to be seen on
each genuine package of Grape-Nuts.

book. THE Road to Wellyille."
