CRUISING. PARTIES THE GO.
The Correct Thing Now In Yachting
Circles.

Circles.
Cruising parties are becoming very pop
ular among savannah's yachtsmen, judg-
ing by the number of parties that have
left for a trip along the coast during the
past few weeks.
Mr.. p. N. Strong, with Messrs. w w.
Chisholm. Jr., Julian Chisholm and Jack
Rauers. went as far as Jacksonville on
Mr.. Strong's beautiful schooner yacht,
Doris, touching at Brunswick and Fer
nandina en- route. At Jacksonville they
remained long enough TO visit the military
camps. where they saw 5000 soldiers. They
were entertained royalty by the yachts
men i'm Brunswick and Fernandina.
Another party, that has just left on the
schooner yacht Triton, had on board a
marty of ladies' and gentlemen from
Waynesboro who will be Maj. wilkins
guests for several weeks on board the
Triton.
Definite arrangements for the Fourth OF
July regatta of the Savannah Yacht Club
win be decided upon at the meeting of the
board of stewards. on Tuesday morning.
A large number of new members viii be
voted on at that meeting, the popularity
of the club continuing to increase all the
time.
As many alterations and Improvements
have been made in the. rigging and ball
lasting of the race boats since the June
regatta the contest on the Fourth will
doubtless be very exciting.
The prizes will be announced as soon
as the board Of stewards hold its meet
ing. 1t has not been determined as yet
whether the course will be to the buoy
or whether the double course will be used
as in the last race.

The Pythians very wisely decided not to
go too deeply in debt, and so concluded
it best to build only half of the Castle

In the course of a lecture in London,
DR.. Burnett remarked that Hahnemann
Qhe famous physician while az Dessau
in 1903 wrote book against the use Of
Coffee, and further said Those that
know the insides of hospitals know that
cases of chronic poisoning from coffee are
by no means rare" Here is the clue TO
many disorders that refuses TO yield to
medicine.
1t will well repay any one who suffers
from any Of the long list Of troubles that
come from a disordered nervous system,
TO heea the warnings of nature and get
rid of the cause.
Try leaving off coffee 10 days or two
weeks and carefully note the change. If
you feel better each day, you have spotted
the imp that has perhaps cost you days
or months of suffering and possibly many
dollars from lack of energy to carry out
your plans properly.
If you miss the coffee a meals a very
great help will be found in Postum Food

Our Council I am proud to say, has
never .hesiitated to do the right thing at
the right time to further the interests
of our city. 1t is a fact that cannot be
