LIEUT.. LLOYD CHANDLER
LEAVES FOR LONG TRIP

The following New York dispatch
tells. of the departure today of Lieut..
Lloyd IL. Chandler and his torpedo
f1otiila for the Philippines.
New York, Oct. 27.-The United
States cruiser Baltimore will leave the
Brooklyn navy yard today to start on
a voyage to the Philippines, whittier
she will convoy five torpedo boat de-
stroyers. The voyage will be watched
with interest by the naval authorities
Of the World, as it will be the first
time a fiotilla of torpedo boats has
attempted so long a vOyage-16,OOO
miles. The destroyers probably will
never return, but will be kept in Asiat-
ic waters for a possible emergency.
The Baltimore, it is said, will join the
Asiatic squadron.
Quite as much of a novelty as the
spectacle of five torpedo boat destroy
ers sailed in company will be the tim
erary. Owing to the limited coal ca
pacity of the destroyers, and to the
severe physical strain upon their
crews, they must make the long dis
lance by easy stages and by circuit
GUS route. The destroyers afford only
the vibration from the screws and
powerful engines is most eXhausting.
The Decatur, cambridge. Barrie
Chauncey and Dale will make up the
fiotiIla. Lieut.. Lloyd H. Chandler will
be the senior officer.
1t is figured that six months will be
required for the torpedo flotilla to
reach Manila. \ remarkable course
has been mapped out. \ straight
course will he taken past Hatteras to
Bermuda. Then the Barbados will
be made, and, continuing south by
east. the northeast shores Of South
America will be Rugged, stops being
made every day or two. From Brazil
a course will he steered back over the
equator for the open sea.
The tlotilla will proceed up the West
African coast and past the Cape
Verde group 90 the Canaries.
The next stop will he the Madeira
islands. Thence the course will be
set for the Mediterranean and the
Suez canal.

at night He took no exercise, always
rode between house and office, became
fat and bloatad, and his blood became
so overloaded that he readily succumb-

Like him. most Of US eat too much,

Diet should depend upon temperament

at sedentary labor i.:Goors. A gradual
