METHOD OF KEEPING YOUNG
Remarkably Sound Advice for the
Woman Who Has Some Years
Of Life to Her Credit.

The way to ward OF old age is not
to fear 1t, not to allow ones self to
be oppressed by the dread of advan-
cling years. Use only legitimate pre-
ventives and avoid trying experiments
With preparations not indorsed by
physicians. Do not wear toilettes in
tended for young girls, they only add
years to the appearance. Keep up
your interest in the young, but do not
envy them. Retire with dignity from
the struggle, 40 not pose as your
daughters rival. Above all, surround
your life with sweet, true affections
which prevent the heart from growing
bitter. Do not lose interest in the
growing events of the day; do not fall
behind the times and do not harp on
other and better days. To those who
come to you for advice be always kind
and sympathetic. AS you advance in
years preserve carefully your personal
appearance, for once lost 1t may not
be regalned save by strenuous effort.
Your costumes should be simple and
u~npretenttous, yet graceful. These
rules, carefully and sensibly followed.
will keep you young and attractive

NO RACING RECORDS

Trotters and PAGERS Have
Tough sailing-Uhlan Has

One OF the most notable peculiarities Of

able when it is considered hat as the
result of harness racing In 1911 the num-
Der of new 2:10 %trotters and PAGERS was
the largest on record for a single season,
while the % PAGERS and 16 t~rotters that
had former marks in 2:10 or better and re-
duced them made sensationally fast time.
The complete returns of the season show
that no less than 81 %trotters and 90 pac-
ers entered the new 2:1O list. while 25 pac-
ers and 16 %trotters reduced their former
marks, yet in the trotting division only
eight new worlds records were made and
four equaled. Uhlan getting credit for
six of them, mostly over a half-nile
track.
In the pacing division 10 worlds rec
ords were lowered and two equaled, which
is really a very poor showing, judged by
the performances and fast times in many
notable pacing events of the season.
During the racing season of 1910 no less
than 2G new worlds records were made
and two ed.aled in the trotting division.
while PAGERS Were credited with only five
new marks. Some have attributed the
poor showing OF 1911 in this respect to the
ing, and this CLAIM, is true, for such cham
pions as Uhlan and The Harvester re-
peatedly Called to keep their enga gements
