The English Walnut

AS an ornamental tree. the English
walnut is unsurpassed" writes Hollis.

age, which remains until late in tho
fall, being shed with tho nuts in Octo-
her and never during the summer. It
is also an exceptionally clean tree and
beautifully shaped, and. 80 far as Is
known, has never been proved upon by
the San Jose scale or any other insect
pest, owing. it is supposed. to its pecu-
liar alkaline sap.
THE demand for this nut Is increas-
ing rapidly, as It's great food value is
constantly becoming better known. Its
meat contains more nutriment than
the same amount or bcefsteak
The price is Keeping pace with the
demand, and the growers are now re-
ceiVinE three times as much for

ago "hcn they were producing only
tenth OF the present output.
Thus IL may he scon that the plant
ing or English walnut trees Is not only
an exceedingly lucrative venture for
the present generation. but 1t means
the comforting of a priceless boon upon
the generations to come. Some States
arc considering tho advisability OF
planting these trees along tho new
state roads. after tho custom in Eng
land and Germany, where practically
all tho walnuts are distributed along
the drives or serve as ornamental
shade trees upon the lawns. There is
one avenue in Germany which Ia bor-
derod on both sides for ton miles by
enormous English walnut trees which
meet In the center. thus forming
beautiful covered lane. and Mt tho same
time yielding hundreds OF dollars
worth OF nuts each season.
ut is the custom in England and
Germany to lease the trees to COM
panies which pay so much for the
privilege Of harvesting the nuts. thus
yielding Il steady income to tho owners.

Binding her TO the lovely sunburnt earth.

How to Win Long Life

HERE have been few more valuable works
done for the world than the great in
surance tahulation Of mortality statistics de-
signed to prove beyond any reasonable doubt
what habits and occupations afford the best
hope of prolonged life. The task was en-
tered into by forty-three insurance companies
Of Canada and this country, and the results
are now being made public
1T was known, of course, by a general
study of mortality figures that certain glasses
OF men die earlier than other classes but
there was not formerly what there is now,
pretty clearly defined mortality average for
the run OF occupations and habits, above or
. below which people OF exceptional ha bits or
occupa tons rise or fall Thus, there can be
no doubt that overweight is sinister sign
in people Of middle age, and the use of
alcohol means risk Of shortened life. Some
caliings are very much more dangerous than
others, the mortality rate OF railway engi-
neers is 60 per cent above the average On
the other hand, nothing whatever was proved
as TO the hereditary tendency Of tuberculosis
The value Of the invest igatiOn lies in the
fact that it indicates just what methods a
man must follow II he wants the advanta &c
of the highest percentage chance of life
That is, If you want to live long live as those
people do whose mortality shows the lowest
rate. BY so doing, you may not live long
but at least you do all that science and ex-
perience can suggest TO lengthen life And
as the margin for accident is small in sta
tisics Of large size the chances are many to
one that you will add to your life by follow
lag the system.
The idea is in harmony with the new school
OF preventive medicine. One Of the best dis
coveries of modern science was that Of head
ing off disease or nipping it in the bud The
great majority of men die OF trivial causes

STREET GAR RIDE BE GIVEN STORY
 HOUR ''k|ODIES"
Ladies of Library Associa- tion Get Aid from Street
 Car Company and Others.

The children who have so regularly attended the story hour at the library each Saturday afternoon during the summer, will be the guests of the women of the story hour committee next Saturday, on a street car ride, ar arrangements for which were completed day or two ago by the committee.
 The formal announcement of the affair will be made to the children this afternoon at the story hour. and it is expected the children will make plain their pleasure and appreciation. And it is expected also that all the little folks will be ready promptly next Saturday, to board the cars and participate in the pleasures of the afternoon, as guests of the library committee.
 The plans for the affair have been in course of arrangement for some days. The business men greeted the library women most cordially, heart fly endorsing their ideas. and quickly granting every favor asked by them, so that, as one member of the com mittee stated last night, the affair will not cost the library one cent.
 Manager B. C. Fowles of the street car company was the first man ap- preached by the committee, and he quickly tendered the use of two street cars for the affair, saying also that the committee can have three cars, if that many is needed. Thus encouraged, the committee called on other business men, and when they concluded, they had obtained dona- tjons of flags, horns, making ap- paratus, bunting, cloth for signs, the painting of the signs, and even ice cream and ice cream cones.
 Miss Martha Angell is arranging some yells for the youngsters. and there will be yell leaders, to head that part of the affair. The high school orchestra will attend, and will fur nish music. The hours for the af- fair will be- announced later, and the cars will traverse all the lines in the city.
 The cars will carry banners. which will have inscriptions that will show what the children think of the library and the story hour. It is believed the street car ride by the youngsters will be not only treat for the youngsters, but will create new interest in the library on the part of the parents of the children as we'll as on the part of the men and women of Pine Bluff l in general.
