THE EVENING WUKLD, Takes 450-Mile Hike at 84, Weston Tramps Into City To-Day World-Famous Pedestrian Has Walked 77,000 Miles During His Life—Greeted by Thousands, By Burris Jenkins. “With hia best foot first And the road a-slidin’ past’’—— Edward Payson Weston, the world famous pedestrian, at the age of eighty- four, is to-day walking into New York. It will be the completion of a 460- mille hike from Buffalo where he started at noon on Sept. 4. This ts probably the tast trip the Grand Old Man of the “Open Road” will ever make, Down the undulating Albany Post@ Road from Peekskill yesterday after- eon, through country brilliant with eutump foliage and redolent of bon- Gres, the little white-haired old man Plodded steadily along with as little Tegaréd for his years as for miles. Somewhere ahead through the Indian Summer haze over the Hudson Val- ley, glistening in the sunlight, lay New York, and the old veteran walk- @r cocasionally lifted his eyes trom the road for # long eager look in that @irection. There was cheering going on at that time in the Polo Grounds, But there was cheering also out here on this road for his solitary figure In its tattered panama, white shirt, khaki Fiding trousers and old, battle-scarred eather leggins now a bit “too wide for his shrunk shank.” Not a one of the mptor cars that streamed past but Occupants slowed up long to yell a grecting,. or )blow horn in salute, or shout én- it to the well known char. after nine years’ ‘'rétire & farm because of his age more hitting the dusty trail. He staging a oor e-back at an age few men are alive. And bo erate eppreciated this and told “We're all for you, Mr. Westort!" “I saw you back in 1906 gratuiations, old timer!’* acter ment’ on was These were some of shouted to him. But it However, to every salutation Wes- fon replied by raising his gnarled hand with the short walking-stick he has carried for 45 years and upon one end of which waves a srhall American flag, and smiling brightly jm the queer, ing him down It is as if the as ever, but the slightly bowed ees wobble sometimes as if those legs farther than any other ly- ing man's—T7,000 miles. Following a few steps behind Mr. ‘Weston a stalwart State mounted po- iceman walks leading his horse, And several yards farther back a buggy carrying Miss Anna Hagen, Mr. Wes- ton‘s niece, and a driver, That ts the ‘way they have come from Buffalc. ‘The cid man insists on leading the ry night Mr. Weston bathes his feet in in cold salt water. He has al- ‘ways been scrupulously exacting in care of his feet so that now there & corn nor a blemish on, them. ‘His shoes are of the ordinary army “hiking” variety and his socks thick ‘wool. Every noon he takes a nap, now, for an hour before resuming hiv journey. His meals consist, for break- prunes, oatmeal, two poached eggs and coffee; for lunch, milk and crackers and coffee, and for dinner sometimes chicken, vegetables and a sweet. jeston decided on making this return to the road because, as he put: It, he “makes a failure as a farmer. He owns a 177-acre farm in Ul County, but when a milk company of. fered to pay for another hiking trip for advertising purposes to the milk company, the vagabond yearning came back to the old man. Miss Hagen thinks he couldn't stand the farm be- cause of his love of these long pedes- trian wanderings to which he has de- ‘voted his life and which he cannot give ‘up even as his years near their end. “He always walked a lot on the farm,” he expliined. ‘Every day ‘t You Can’t Brush Or Wash Out Dandruff The only sure way to get rid of dan- Gruff is to dissolve it, then you de- Hs Id gd bout ordinary liquid arvon; epply it at night when retiring; use rice ws mo! oon.

WESTON, would be three miles to mail box town for groceries. ' He walked 80 much there that he didn’t seem af- fected much when we started out from Buffalo. On the second day he walked thirty miles, One of our hosts tried to waik that day with him. Hu was Charlies Coon, a former Dis- trict Attorney of Batavia. He couldn't last the thirty miles, but had to ride the two on account of his fect blistering.” Another peculiarity of Mr. Wea- ton’s in late years is his inability to talk while.en route. He has only tims or breath for a handshake and a word or two, but says he must save all his wind. He broke his rule yesterday, however, to remark on the beauty of the weather since his start. ‘Wo haven't had anything but this in tho two weeks I've been on the go,” he said, ‘If it wasn’t for nature's help- ing me this way I probably wouldn't be two days ahead of the schedule T am."

They are Nature's warning of Pyorrhea’s coming, and Pyorrhea strikes four persons out of every five past forty, and thousands younger, too. After having your teeth and gums inspected by your dentist, brush your teeth with Forhan's For the Gums. It will prevent Pyorrhea or check its course provided it is used consistently and used in time. Forhan’s For the Gums is the formula of R. J. Forhan, D. D. S. Used as a dentifrice, it will keep your teeth white and clean and your gums firm and healthy. It is pleasant to the taste. At all druggists, 35¢ and 60c in tubes.
