titus Hussey had walked, since May J..
1907, 1000 miels." THIS is true
statement as licked off and recorded
by the little machine which has mark
ed every step taken since the above
date. AS these little machines are
coming into use by gentlemen and la
dies who are fond of this very health
full exercise, it is thought little
description of the machine might be
read with interest. They cost about
$3.50 for q good one, and will last
about as long as a wearer wishes to
wear one. The step on the walker is
measured from heel to heel, the regu-
lator set to the number OF inches
there measured; then they are hung
in an upright position, generally in
your fob pocket, and that is about all
there is to it. The large hand passes
around once when you have walked
ten miles, then tho little hand, or
marker moves to ten, marking each
result OF the large hand, until one
hundred miles are reached. Then it
is recorded by you, and the machine
goes to zero and begins overagain
and SO on. 1t never has to be wound
up, and marks every step you take
in the house or out OF it.
1t is told OF a father. who had 4
weakened daughter who could not
walk three squares, she asserted; but
when he hung this pedometer Oh her
just before going tc dance he found
she had 'tangoed eight miles" and
was up in time for breakfast.
Physicians say that walking is the
best exercise in the world, and brings
into action the heart, the lungs, and
all parts of the body in about equal
proportions.
Every step is marked, and the walk
er is surprised sometimes to see that
he has walked two or three miles
without being conscious OF it or feel
ing any special fatigue because his
mind has been fully occupied with
other things. Many a man and wo-
man have prolonged their days by
such exercise in the open air, and
prepared themselves for refreshing
sleep at night, because their lungs
have been filed with fresh air some
time during the day; for there is
nothing like the open air and some
shine to give health and strength, rel
ish for daily food, and a thankful
heart that you are alive. If these
blessings are yours, why not be con-
tent with your lot, well knowing that
this life is only preparation for the
perfected life that is promised.-Plain
Talk.

STATE or OPTIMISM

: Within the last Y week a notable

1t is said that President Wilson is

of the trouble in Mexico is in sight, but
optimism seems to have been the pres

had been asserted a. long time ago the
trouble IN Mexico would have term
mated before conditions became so
acute as they have in the last few
weeks. We are inclined to the opin-
ion still that the one way to suppress

eEAu1lFYINe THE FARMS

The secretary Of the Missouri state
board of agriculture has issued a cir
cular calling on the farmers of that
state to institute a day for general
cleaning up on the farms, urging them
to do on large scale the same kind
of work which the women do every
spring in the home. He insists that
this can be done to great advantage
by making the farm and home more
beautiful and attractive and by foster
ing pride and interest in neatness,
order and cultivation of the beautiful.
And OF course, there is no law pre-.
venting other states from getting to-
gether on such proposition.

And now the reformers are after the

say the dust he brushes from the

However, most Of us know that tile

is ten or fifteen cents from a mans

Mutt And jeff
In A New Play"

Bud Fishers now nationally
famed cartoon characters ''Mutt &
Jef''are to re-appear at the Grand
Opera House on Friday, Sept. d,
In a brand new dress called "Mutt
& jeff in Mexico" Guss Hill has
given the book sumptuous pro-
duction from every point of view,
lie has had a dazzling new set of
spectacular scenery painted with
some very startling mechanical
effects and genuinedramatic thrills,
New musical scores and lyrics are
furnished and the funny business
is OF course from the fertile brain
of Bad Fisher, who knows better
than any one else what his eccen-
trio folks are capable of. The offer
ing, though new, is not in it's ex-
perlmental stages as it has had a
thorough tryout. Its reception
was simply an innovation, but in
spite of that fact, Mr.. Hill spent
his entire summer vacation perfect
ing the details of the play, which
enables him to offer an entertain
ment absolutely perfect in every
respect. 1t is an acknowledged
fact that Mutt & Jeff holds
more records for phenomenal
business than any two other attrac-
tions in the history of theatrical
entertainment. While the play
has probably been the best adver-
tised attraction on record, it's popu-
larity would not have lasted, but
increased from year to year, if
absolute merit was not evident.
The fortune the play has made for
its sponsors during the past two
years has simply been commensu-
rate with its pleasing qualifications.
For the fourth season, instead of
reducing the expenses as is usual
with some producing managers,
Mr.. Hill has made greater financial
OUTLAWS than on either or both of
his former productions. His con-
tidence in "Mutt and jeff" and the
lasting qualities of the play and
title are so strong as to induce him
to increase his investment rather
than decrease it from year to wear.
The universal opinion of press and
public, is that 1t is the one and on
ly big comedy bit OF the show
world.

The State Convention

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. All signs
point to one of the biggest bat
ties royal Georgia has ever known
at the Macon Democratic conven-
ton next Tuesday.
The clans began gathering in
Macon today and by Sunday
night the hotels will be overflow
ing, though the big noise will
still be a day off. What a lot of
talking in corners and confer
ences in hotel rooms and a send
ing of wires and spread of elo-
quence awaits the quiet Central
City!
The hotels in Macon have been
reserved up to their capacity and
late arrivals will sleep on the
pool tables if they care to sleep
where there is so much to hear
if one is a good listener.
The friends of Governor Slaton
will be on hand in force, and the
governor, it is reported, will
leave Sunday for the convention
city. 1t is now certain that Sla-
ton will either be nominated
early in the fight or will be
steamrolled until he is flat as a
batter cake. That's the only way
to defeat the man who led in
both popular and county unit
vote.
Atlanta politicians say Mr..
Hardwick fails to make his rule
work both ways. On the night
of the election, when he was GER
tain he would lead the ticket, he
announced publicly that this give
him the nomination, and he was
much obliged. He said then
that as the leader he should GER
tainly be the nominee. But when
Slaton turned out to lead the
ticket Mr.. Hardwick backed
water.
And anyway, it's going to be
a real, old-time, knock-down and
drag-out convention, with room
for politics in plenty.
