A horse can gallop twice as fast as & man can run, and can beat a human rival in any race up to about sixty miles, : Beyond that distance a well-trained athlete begins to hold his own, and, when it comes to distances above a hundred miles, the horse is simply not in it. A man has covered a hundred miles on foot in rather less than 1314 hours. No horse has equalled this feat. Much less has any horse, or, for that matter, any land animal ever touched such a performance as that of the English- man, P, Fitzgerald, who, so long ago as 1884, aid 500 miles in 109 hours, 18 minutes, 20 seconds. Then there was another Englishman, | William Gale, who walked 1,600 miles in 1,000 consecutive hours, This again was a feat which no four crea- ture could possibly match. The fact is that man has powers of enduvance which are unmatched by any other Hv ing creatu The mere muscular strength of the lower amimal simply does not count against man's deter- mination and brain-power. In swimming the same thing holds good. ; Although a.dog can. a mand: in a short-distance swim, where: would you. find a dog that would everl altempt to swim say, twenty miles? There. is indeed no land animal which ¢atrcom- pare with man in. the matter of Ewim-| ming. © A man-can walk faster than a horse, for whereas four miles an hour is quite | a-good gait for any horse; a man has | walked gver eight miles' within sixty minutes, Jumping is rather a matter of strength than endurance, yet, taking relative size into consideration, a man can beat a horse at jumping. - Many men lave jumped heights exceeding six feet, and widths exceeding twenty- four feet. Eight feet is, I believe, something like the record height for a hcrse to clear, and twentyseven feet ia the longeat known jump by a horse. As for starving, here again the man chows h#s superiority. Professional fasters have gone as much as forty days without food. - No horse, dog, sheep, or ox can match this. The only: creatures tfat can emulate this feat are those which hibernate during the winter, such as the bear, badger, on. squirrel, and these, we must remem- ber, are in a state of suspended anima tion. ---- Business Tactics. "You seem to have a good deal ofd faith in doctors," sald Bronson to his: invalid friend. : "I have," was the reply; "a doctor would be foolish to let a good custom- rer Hike me die." 4 H rtf mn sel!

In the second place it is an acid-forming diet: the potatoes do not comtain enough of the acid neutralizing elements to offset the meat and the bread. Third, it is a diet lacking a sufficiency of lime and i this is manifest in the teeth if, when advanced years come, there are any natural teeth left. The health pro- tective substances are also. lacking and there is great concern because the muscles ache in the morning. The Joints work stiffly and there is gen- eral consciousness of one's body-- which it is certainly a joy to be per- mitted to. forget. So, the doctor is food and too frequently the patient is disgusted because the doctor has ad- vised foods which "I never did like and how can I begin them now?" - Another dietary fault after fifty is in the Juantity of food eaten. Activi- ties require power or energy. As one task 'after ancther is: laid down or transferred to the shouledrs of young-| er members-of the family, the "quantity of food taken, especially of the energy foods, should be correspondingly low- hered...
