EXERCISE MUST BE KEPT UP
Youthful Athlete Can Not Afford to
Allow the Years to Keep Him
From 1t.

If you take much exercise in your
early life, you must continue to
take more or less exercise all through
life; otherwise harmful results may
follow. Any part of the body which
is not used will atrophy and waste ;
and the muscular system is particu-
larly liable to this degeneration.
Care must be taken, also, that the
lungs are used, to a certain extent,
every day-because the athlete de-
velops large lung capacity, and if
he does not use his lungs later on in
life they will be liable to become dis
eased. 1t is not the fault of the ex-
ercise which brings this about, but
the fault of the neglect, in after life.
Keep up few daily exercises by all
means, and particularly breathing
exercises. If you do this, it will not
only be the means of adding to your
general health, but also will add
many years to your life.-Physical
Culture.

WHY SILVER TARNIsHEs.

Everybory is familiar with the
tendency Of silverware to part with
its brilliahee and become furnished
when exposed to ordinary atrnos-
pheric influences, but not every one
knows that the cause of the tarnish-
ing is the action of sulphur in the
air. Unless frequently cleaned, the
ssurface of silver will become black
in the course of a few months. The
best way to keep silver bright with
out the necessity of cleaning is said
to be to coat the surface with thin
solution of ,collodion varnish diluted
with spirits of wine. After being
applied with a soft brush the spirit
evaporates, leaving thin, glossy,
transparent film on the polished sur
face Warm water removes the
varnish. Tarnished silver may be
restored by careful rubbing with a
soft cloth wet with dilute solution of
potassium cyanide, one ounce to a
quart of water, followed by rinsing.

SAVED BY THE KNEIPP CURE.

A disciple of Kneipp, who taught
the curative effects of walking bare
foot on the grass, started out shortly
after midnight on a recent rainy
morning to take the cure in Temp
kins Square park.
Though he had a gold watch and
good-sized "wad' in his pockets,
he wore an old SLOUGH hat and
rough-looking clothes.
AS he was nearing the park in one
of the streets running to it from the
south he suddenly found himself
facing a pistol in the hands of a
man who apparently had sprung
from nowhere.
"Fork over your"-the robber
started to say, but stopped. "Why
you amt got any shoes p he disgust
edly exclaimed.
"Ain't got any money to buy any,
you see."
But he was talking to the air.
The thug had vanished.-New York

MAN's sOcIALIIY Of MArOaE
His interest In HE Species Manifest,
as Pointed Out by Great
Scotch Philosopher.

Mans sociality Of nature evinces
itself in spite Of all that can be said
with abundant evidence by this one
fact, were there no other: The un-
speakable delight he takes in biog-
raphy. It is written, "The proper
study Of mankind is man." to which
study, let us candidly admit, he, by
true or by false methods, applies
himself, nothing loath. ''Man is
perennially interesting to man; nay,
if we look strictly to it, there is Moth
ing else interesting" How mex
pressibly comfortable to know our
fellow creature; to see into him, un-
derstand his goings forth, decipher
the whole heart of his mystery; nay,
not only to see into him, but even to
see out of him, to view the world
altogether as he views it so that we
can theoretically construe him, and
could almost practically personate
him; and do now thoroughly discern
both what manner of man he is, and
what manner of thing he has got to
work on and live on Thomas Car.

DUMMY VILLAGE AS TARGET
English Artillery Trained Their Guns
on Exact Representation of
Small Town.

To test the guns of the brigades
Of the British Royal Field Artillery,
in camp on Dartmoor, Devonshire, a
dummy village was specially built
as target. The village" covering
twenty acres near Okehampton, was
built in three weeks by artifcers
from the camp, whose inventive and
artistic genius was allowed full
scope. Seen from about mile away,
it looked ike typical English ham,
let. Clustering round a church,
we're number of cottages. Strips
of canvas were laid through and
around the village to represent
roads. In the village we're repre-
sensations of children at play and
men and women at their daily du-
ties. Near by was a farmyard stock
ed with dummy cattle. And to com
plete the scene, there was the villag,
inn.
The buildings were made chief,
of canvas, rooted with corrugated
iron and stones taken from the hill
sides. 1t was about 5000 yards
from the point from which the
troops fired, and invisible to them
The scheme was that the village was
held by an invading enemy.

Citizens Of Lexington
County,:

I am offering you the first opportu-
nifty to buy Columbia suburban prop
erty in Lexington County.
"GREEN'S HILL" overlooks Co.
lumbia, only two miles from State
House on Augusta and Lexington
Highway.
Now that the Bridge has been made
free, Columbia and Lexington County
are much nearer together than ever
before, and, too, the early construc-
ton of the Aiken and Augusta Trolly
Line that is now certainty, and at
an early date you will be riding its
cars to and from 90 ambia, nd pass
ing right through and oyer beautiful
Green's Hill, and the property that
you can buy now so cheap and on
such easy terms.
The 8. A. L. Railway sre now busy
building their large Round House and
Shops at Cayce, one mile from Green's
Hill. It means that hundreds of their
employees will have to move from 90.
lumbia across the River 80 as t be
convenient to their work.
There are also hundreds more of 20
lumbians who cannot and will not pay
the prices that are now being asked
for property in Columbia and suburbs.
and these, too, will flock across the
River just as soon as the Trolly Line
iscompleted, and to Green's Hill their
eyes will naturally turn first for they
will follow the Trolly Line.
There is no property in Columbia or
suburbs within the same distance that
Green's Hill is that can be bought for
less than from 5000 to $4,000 per acre.
(this applies to Richland County,.
While you can buy from us at Green's
Hill for mere fraction of that figure.
We are going to sell seventy (7O acres
on Green's Hill, divided into fourths,
halves and whole acre lots, at price
far below it's true value, and on terms
that you can't resist. A small cash
payment, and then few dollars a
m nth without interest, notes or mort
cages, will soon make you the owner
Of one or more of these beautiful and
valuable LOTS.
Why put your hard earned MONEY
in a bank and be promised per cent.
yearly for it, and in great many in
stances never get your money or the
promised interest back again?
Better buy Green's Hill Lots, they
can't run away, only in increased val
ue, nobody can take them from you
without paying you handsome profit
on what you pay for them now. The
property with all it's future is there
for you, will you hesitate and see the
other fellow buy it ur and make all
the profits, better get your share?
Write, call on US, OF 'phone and we
will take pleasure in showing you this
property, and tell you all about the
low price and easy terms you can get
these lots on.
