The Pastime of Walking Revived


Motoring isn't everything, though
from early morn till midnight-and
after-for several years, having as its
only rivals for keeping you in the
open air. only golf and tennis.
Pedestrianism, natures own rem
edy'' is coming in for a great revival.
People are going TO walk in selected
companies for protective and CONVEX
sational purposes.
Gen. Rosalie Jones hiking eXpedi-
tons may have been a suggestive ini-
tative of the new practice, but ii has
appeared in several places simultan-
eously. two of them as far apart as
Washington, d c., and Alton, Ill.
In Washington they call it commun-
ity hiking, and it consists of congenial
parties, who set out for three hour
walk i'm the country in the early morn

wanderluster, is an elective officer,
whose duty j. is 10 spy out the route
and designate whittier the pedestrian
band shall wander.
Some of these peripatetics are
known as sunrise mixers, and others
choose a somewhat later hour for their
matutinal parade. So far, the mixers
are all young women of athletic tastes.
The walking season." was opened by
hike of twelve miles, from the edge
of town. The next excursion is plan
ned from Alton all the way to st.
Louis, which is twenty-siX miles. and
no mean feat even for menfolk accus-
toned to long jaunts on foot.
Hikes locally have been made To
Greenville and Cooks Corners. Par
ties have gone 10 Green's church and
to Orleans. Scores of people, who do
not have automobiles or carriages take
long walks up the river and down the
railroad tracks Breakfast is taken in
the woods, beside the lakes around
Bedding, by girls and young women

lorning hours to drink in the free
ozone of the early daylight.
Walking is healthy. beyond doubt,
if engaged in with discretion. We are
more prone to rust out than to wear
out over exercise will not injure so
many people as under exercise.
You see, pedestrianism is coming in
to its own once more, and may even
survive July and August if one but
hardens himself to its demands by
frequent eXertion in the cooler months

taken this remedy with remarkable
benefit. 1t is known everywhere.
Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy
clears the digestive tract of mucoid ac-
cretions and removes poisonous mat

from stomach, liver and bowel

Many are sure it has saved their
lives.
Because of the wonderful success of
this remedy there are many imitators,
SO be cautious. Be sure it's Mayr's.
Go to Wortley & Frenchs drug store
and ask them about the wonderful
results it has accomplished in cases

me by allowing me to do some of the

To Be MISTRESS
IN her OWN HOUSE

Washington, Sept. 14.-With an ex-
PLANTATION made to Secretary of State
Bryan by A. Rustem Bey, Turkish am
bassador, that his published state
ment of several days ago as to the
"unfairness of the press of the United
States to Turkey" was accurate but
not intended to reflect in any way
on the United States government, it
is understood the incident will be
closed.
President Wilson asked Secretary
Bryan to inquire of Ambassador Bey
whether the statement credited to him
had been correctly published.
Discussing the action of Turkey in
abrogating extraterritorial and other
special privileges of its treaties with
foreign powers, Ambassador Bey said
1t was a step taken so that Turkey
might be mistress in her own house.
