’Tis not in mortals to COMMAND success, but we’ll do more, we’ll DESERVE IT. — Addison.

The Traveller. 
A crocodile from Calabar 
Went travelling to Malabar: 
“I had not thought it were so far 
Or else I’d stayed in Calabar!” 
We Welcome a Health Cooperator. 
“With good health everything ; with 
bad health nothing.” These were the 
words of an invalid to the editor of this 
magazine several years ago with the 
special request that they be reiterated 
by him at every opportunity. Of course 
every reader of The Guide to Nature 
knows that we advocate outdoor occu- 
pations and interests not only from the 
mental and moral but from the physi- 
cal standpoint. One must have an in- 
centive to go afield. There must be 
joy and enthusiasm in whatever is 
done. 
In the same spirit in which we rec- 
ommend the personal benefits of an in- 
teresting hike, a camping trip, the study 
of the interests of nature, we also be- 
lieve it within the scope of our maga- 
zine to recommend healthful, strength 
giving foods. Proverbially bread is the 
staff of life and the beechnut is equally 
well-known as a synonym of all good 
things. The beech is rather the most 
hugable and lovable of trees. We like 
to get near it, to pat its smooth bark, 
to admire its clean trunk and to gaze, 
upward through its cool branches. 
There is in its beauty something poetic- 
al, classical, yes, even musical if we 
go back to Virgil. It represents joy and 
happiness and is the concentration of 
health giving, joyful, outdoor activities. 
The Marsh Bakeries of Stamford 
from long experience have evolved the 
best form of bread now on the market 
in this vicinity. We like their name, 
“Beech Nut,” for this bread. They evi- 
dently understand that good things 
come from Mother Nature, and they 
are giving us wholesome, palatable, 
health promoting bread for our activi- 
ties in nature’s realms. Long may the 
Marsh bakeries be gratefully regarded 
by a bread appreciating public ! 
High Grade Lenses at Low Prices. 
Readers of this magazine are famil- 
iar with the strong stand taken by its 
editor that every photographer should, 
even at personal sacrifice if necessary, 
obtain a high grade anastigmat lens. 
We are glad to announce that Charles 
G. Willoughby, Inc., iio West Thirty- 
second Street, New York City, is issu- 
ing a special bulletin giving interesting 
information along that line. The bulle- 
tin is known as No. 137G and we cor- 
dially invite our readers to send for a 
copy at once, referring to The Guide to 
Nature. Mr. Willoughby has stand- 
ard makes from our best opticians. Per- 
sonal information and advice will be 
given by the editor of this magazine 
upon request. 
Another reason why men don’t go 
back to the farm is that it cost them 
all they had to get away. — Washington 
Post.
