WINTER is THE TIME TO WALK

Winter weather -diminishes greatly
the time spent in the open air by
those who ride in motor cars. II
comes near putting bicycles out Of
use. From steamboats, to canoes
there is almost entire cessation of
water outings.
All of which means that more
walking instead of less ought to be
done in cold weather. There is no
other way of moving about in the
open air, which keeps healthy per-
sons feet so warm and brings such
a glow of warmth from the body
itself. If the pedestrian is properly
clad, especially in respect to keeping
dryshod. all of the effects of winter
walking should be beneficial.
With little care and discretion
such exercise can be made as agree
able as it is wholesome. Rightly
timed and kept within bounds, win
ter walking is a good precaution
against the i'll effects of sedentary
life and too much indoor air. Cleve-
land Leader.

HOAIEBURG

You know the little town with the
? big name, the tiny, obscure, village
set down in some corner Of our states
and bearing complacently the title 1t
has borrowed from some ancient and
mighty forerunner-Rome, Carthage,
Athens, London, Paris, Washington,
Alexandria, Antioch, Sparta, even
Babylon-there is scarcely state In
the union where you will not find
such postoffice-and sometimes not
much more than that. Well, of Alex
andria l sing. It's over in Licking
county, in St. Adams township
do you know who that particular
saint was?-and once upon a time
dwelt within its somewhat narrow
confines.
That was long and long ago; but
every year my pilgrim feet go back
to 1t, II only for few days, usually
in summer, when 1t is drowsy place
of Incidence for me, a place Of ham
mocks and books and country meals,
of idle hours along the streams or in
the pastures and woods near by, of
still Sunday afternoons and long,
starlit evenings. But sometimes / go
over when the empowering naples
are bare of all their leaves, when the
gardens and the flower beds are des-
olate; and then it is always little
forlorn, always stripped of its chief
charm, the billowing foliage of it's
Understanding trees.
Thus l saw it Sunday or two
ago, when through glory of sun
shine and wind was whirled up
from Granville to spend few hours.
The folks at my aunt's house had
gone to church-there are real
church bells over at Alexandria; l
know how they sounded that morn
ing, though I did not hear them. So
] took the key from behind shutter

and went into the clean, sunny house,
where read the Literary Digest and
Everybody's until the thin little
streams of people began to come
down the street, and presently was
welcomed as i always am. And then
we had dinner, with much talk at the
table afterward; and then we walked
out to see the improvements up at
the west end of town-two new hous-
es, both brick, observe, and both with
portes cochere, or port cocheres, or
something at the side, which means
automobiles, you know. Yes, indeed,
l am sure there are a dozen or more
automobiles owned right in town,
and not all Fords, either. And
found that the old tavern, almost
the last landmark in the village, had
been moved over on the back seat to
make room for this new house of
Henry Loomis's; and folks feel real
glad to see the old thing go, because
it had stood there for generations.
Not much had happened since l
was over last. John Thomas and his
wife had just got home from visiting
their son Eddie way out in Colorado;
and poor old Grandma Ellis had fall
len and broken her hip. There was
fire over on The Hill, and she want
ed to walk out to the gate to see If
she could see the smoke, and she
tripped on the rug. Here am
now" she says, pitifully, "eighty-five
years old, and have to end my days
like this" The Methodist preacher
was sent back for another year, and
the Congregationalists have had to
shut up their church on The HILL
They just dwindled down till there
wern't enough to support preacher.
Like as not the churchill never be
opened again. And, o yes, those
newest gas wells have all given out,
and no more free gas for Alec folks

such questions, and let them be ever
tive, and your Uncle Sam picks up his
pen and answers them for you pa
tiently, adequately and correctly.
Uncle Sam unites in himself
many lawyers, doctors, astronomers,
biologists, psychologists, agricultur-
al experts, foresters, chemists, geol-
ogists and other scientists. He has
ten thousand eyes, ears, hands and
brains.
In order that you may learn how to
address him in tnat particular capaci-
ty of his which enables him to i'm
part information with authority, you
should consult the Congressional Dr.
rectory. There you will find Uncle
Sam dissected, SO that you may as
certain what part of him shall be in
trusted with your problems. Even II
you have no burning desire to find
out who can tell you why oil quiets
stormy waters or why the moon al
ways presents the same face to the
earth, it will pay you to turn the
leaves of the Congressional Direc-
tory You will discover to your
amazement how mighty is Uncle Sam,
how far-reaching is his arm, how
acquisitive of mind is his mind, how
scientific are his methods, how far
reaching is his vision. You give
Uncle Sam so little to do, compare
lively speaking, that he invents
tasks for himself to perform-tasks
such as measuring the heat of the
SUM-, finding out the cause of malaria,
testing the light of fireiies, discover
ing new ways, SO that you need not
pay too much for running your motor
car, and testing flying machines He
is a professional rat chaser. He,
tests weights and measures for ac-
curacy. He solves the servant girl
and farmland problem by supplying

immigrants to those who want them
He conducts the biggest mail order
book store in the world, and sells at
cost copies of more than one hun
bred thousand valuable works. He
is first class publisher and editor of
periodicals to the number of about
fifty, and conducts a worldwide sub
scription business in order to sell
them. He is fine linguist; for he
speaks no less than twenty-three for
eign languages in order to tell new
arrivals from Europe where settlers
are wanted, where farm lands can be
rented or bought cheaply, or where
employment can be found.
II Uncle Sam were only a better
orator, II he cared as much for the
manner Of presenting his vast, labori-
ously acquired knowledge as he does
for its matter, he could make him
self a far more helpful person than
he is. But Uncle Sam is not liter
airy artist. From purely esthetic
point of view the governments annu-
al printing output of more than three
billion pages of reports, bulletins and
monographs constitutes about the
dullest and dreariest reading ever
penned by man. But if you have i'm
agination these publications set you
afame with ambition, intoxicate you
with enthusiasm, infect you with
greed, and transform you into COM
mercial Cortez or Balboa, bent on
conquering new golden worlds.

There IS not more popular actor on the

Fox never presented him in a better pic
ture than the one at the Strand Tuesday.
The part he is cast in is different from
any other you have previously seen him
in, but you will find that he is as good IN

His verile personality finds most suit

man Of letters with wanderlust that

worth forces the nomad to make him

His search for his half sister is at last
rewarded, and, after suffering many buf-
