ADDS TO THE LENGTH OF LIFE
Nothing Better Than Pedestrian Ex.
ereIse, Especially to Those Who
Have Passed Beyond Youth.

Some of the most noted of the old
men Of New York. successful in busi-
ness, the professions and public at
fairs, have formed q walking club for
the purpose Of making their pursuit
Of still greater length Of days and
still better health as agreeable as 1t
is sensible. They intend to take long
walks together and. no doubt, to make
their pedestrian experiences the sub.
Ject Of entertaining discussion and a
store of memories held in common.
This is an example which might well
be followed in every city OF the United
States. In the era Of motor vehicles
there is danger that walking will be
Increasingly neglected. especially by
men and women advanced in years,
who often need 1t most. There is q
constant temptation to forget that
riding in the open air. fine as It is in
many ways, can never do for the body
what walking does.

BIG BUCKLES MUST BE WORN

and the Smarter They Are the
Better the style.

Big buckles are emphatically to the
fore this season. They are to be worn
upon all manner of hats save those IN

sions; as q fastening for evening
wraps and as claspings for girdles and
collars upon daytime frocks. Therefore
II money isn't an object. be sure to
look about tire shops for really smart
buckle or set OF buckles. You will
find them a-plenty, but the smartest
of them are of square, oblong or oval
shape in chisel or jewel-set silver or
gold; in Russian enamel; in Cloisonne
or metal; in hand-painted china and In
Jade. Some of the handsomest buckles
are of a fabric like cloth OF gold or
silver heavily embroidered: Of old
French tapestry threaded with metal
lie strands and of hand-embroidered
velvet or satin.

age to try to fashion one Of fabric.

In metal may be polished and run
through with a strip Of black velvet
ribbon, and there is always the chance
that the search may be rewarded by
the finding of shoe buckle in English

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving on Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform. day aft
er day, have found a better capacity
and greater endurance by using POST
um instead Of coffee. An Ills. Woman
writes:
Il had drank coffee for about twenty
years, and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart was nervous
and extremely Respondent; had little
mental or physical strength left, had
kidney trouble and constipation.
"The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then became less Respondent, and
the desire to be active again showed
proof Of renewed physical and mental
strength.
Il am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. l formerly
did mental work and had to give 1t up
on account Of coffee, but since using
Postum am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"
Name given by Postum Co.. Battle
Creek, Mich.
Postum now comes in new concen-
trated form called Instant Postum. It
Is regular Postum, SO processed at the
factory that only the soluble portions
are retained.
A spoonful Of Instant Postum with
not water. and sugar and cream to
taste, produce instantly a delicious
beverage.

One Of the reason why English 10

guage is that English people refuse to
learn another. For instance, at Mus
cat. at the entrance to the Persian gulf,
there lived for many years an English
man. supposed to be the only, or al
most the only, British resident on the
$500 miles Of Arabian coast line from
Alden to Koweit. It would seem that
he could hardly have escaped knowing
Arabic. Yet he confessed that he
could not speak q dozen words of that
language. But how do you carry on
your trade" some one asked. "Oh."
he replied. "the beggars have got to

CHICKENS FOR A FARM
American Breeds Meet Demand
for General Purpose Fowl.
tsest Recommendation for Plymouth
Rock 10 Excellent Growth OF
Chicks, in Which Quality They
Are Without Superior.
Ry E. O. ERF.l

VEy T. y
The American breeds OF chickens
have been made by the mixing of GER
tain types. They have been formed to
meet the demand for general pur-
pose fowl and they fulfill this demand
better than any other breed.
These breeds are more variable in
traits than breeds with more years Of
uniform ancestry to their credit. II
strict selection is not maintained the
American varieties are inclined to
vary and revert to ancestral types.
The barred variety of the Plymouth
Rocks is the original Plymouth Rock.
The Holly chieftain., 1913-05-09

FVzo ouU TsymoutH noCN NoCkerVJ.
and is perhaps, all things considered.
the most popular breed In this coun-
try at the present time.
Its origin is commonly given as a
cross between the Black Java and the
American Dominique. Besides the
Java other Asiatic blood has probably
been used in making the breed.
The Plymouth Rock is more like
the Asiatic than like the European
chicken. 1t approaches in size and
fattening qualities the Cochin or
Brahma. but has lost the excessive
feathering. slowness Of growth and
general clumsiness Of those breeds.
The best recommendation for the
Plymouth Rock on the farm is the
excellent growth made by the young
chickens. In this quality they have
no superior. The Plymouth Rock
pullets are good layers, but as year
ling hens are prone to turn into fat
rather than eggs.
Another objection to the barred
variety is the difficulty in keeping the
breed true to the standard type. The
pure-bred type birds are required to
have even and distinct bars of the
same shade in male and female.
These are difficult points to main.
tain. and resort is often made to
double mating or the keeping OF two
breeding pens., one to produce cock
erels and the other pullets.
Tie white and huff Plymouth Rocks
ars later products than the barred
variety. Much of what has been said
will apply to them also. The following
differences might be noted:
The white variety is free from the
color objection of the barred type, but
the objection to the fattening tend
ency applies to hens Of this variety
perhaps more forcibly than to the
barred.
Bum Plymouth Rocks will probably
average smaller than the other varie-
ties of the breed. Although a solid
colored bird, they like all bun breeds,
except the buff Cochins, will be found
difficult to breed to one color. owing
to the tendency to possess black or
white in the wings and tail.

Lettuce Plants,

Avoid the use of too much water on
the lettuce plants. 1t may cause them
to damp of and 1t will tend to produce
soft and splendid plants. stocky
plants are an important factor in pro-
ducing good crop of lettuce.

in the wreck that the blood vessels
would not perform their functions
