to be In good shape for tomorrow. Made
several acquaintance.
January 3-Still warmer today. My head
doesn't feel very good. Mentioned the fact
TO my landlord. He brought me a long
thin glass full of pale golden liquid with
a darker fluid on top. Landlord called IL 4
rum slam. Pretty soon l felt better. Had
another. Started out after facts. but tho
heat was terrible. Landlord said ii was
hottest day in ten years. Think he was too
conservative. Had a siam. Dined. Slammed
some more.
January 4.-Felt very badly this morning.
Think l going to be sick. Had a rum
slam. Breakfasted. Slammed again. Felt
better. Started to go out but met tho

the exhaustive researches into canal condis
lions made on the isthmus by a distin-
guished writer. who was In our midst only
short time ago. The articles mentioned
show that the distinguished writer remained
on the isthmus from January / to January
10, and during that time according 10 his
own account. daily risked his heaIth-even
his life-in exploring of-the-way places
in order to secure information bearing on
actual conditions in the canal zone In
view of the fact that the distinguished
writer In his articles made some startling
disclosures. showing an intimate knowledge
of his subject matter. his diary, faithfully
kept during his stay in the canal zone and
found in his hotel room some days after his
departure for the states, should prove OF
general interest. Here IL is:
