with particular reference to the mag
niticent seaway mentioned and all its
opportunities for marine and naval at
fractions. The visitor may take n boat
up the James river and see the remains
of old jamestown, chiefly an ancient
brick church tower. two or three old
cemeteries the foundations of the first
Virginia house of burgesses and Il few
other historic buildings. For the rest
he will find truck farm. with fields
of peanuts flouriShing and drovcS of
shoats outside the fence longing to
reach the peanuts. The site of the old
town is now an island. though original
ly it was peninsula. The water has
cut through the neck of the peninsula
I and isolated the venerable remains of
the earliest settlement of English
speaking people on the continent that
stayed put long enough to take root
and ultimately develop into the great

Elected back against the events which

This very fitting name was bestowed
by Il man who himself had gone on the
warpath in two wars with high credit
To himself and his cause. General FitZ-
Hugh Lee, who was the first president
of the exposition. named the War Path.
General Lee worked enthusiastically
for the success of the jamestown ter
centennial. dying in harness. Then the
Hon. IL. st. George Tucker. former
congressman, another noted Nirginian.
was chosen president and took up the
work which the old soldier laid down.
The United States government, as at
former eXpOSitiOnS. is Il hearty par
ticipant at jamestown. In addition to
its general displays, the government
has contributed To the success of the
enterprise by constructing Il great pier
or, rather. two great piers joined ut
the outer end, far out into the waters
Of Hampton Roads. The portion of
salt water embraced within the piers
corresponds to the lagoon of other
fairs, but it is obviously more interest
Ing. 1t will afford opportunity for all
kinds of minor aquatic contests. while
beyond the piers the great ships will
maneuver. ard there will he yacht
races, motor boat competitions and no
end of thrills.

As to the exposition itself, the part
that is embraced within a unique fora;
fence on the land side and the shore
of Hampton Roads on the other, there
is much TO admire. The very best
thing about it perhaps is that it is not

embrace naturally the historical fea-

would be shown as never before. This

RepIete With Historical Interest.

This trip up the James. by the way.
will be popular. as will various other
water journeys in the neighborhood of
the exposition. The jamestown fair
has remarkable richness of historical
association, and that is one of its prin-
cipal assets. You cannot touch Il spot
within Il hundred miles of Norfolk
without coming i'll contact with his
toric soil. Plenty of sections have
their places of local historical interest

HAMPTON COURT.
Stories of the Haunted English Royal

Tales of uncanny happenings cling to
DID Hampton court. the English royal
palace on the Thames built by Cardinal
Wolsey. Not long ago Il policeman as
serted that he saw Il ghoStly funeral
procession there The London Chronicle
remarks: The most definite of these
old stories concerns Mistress SibclI
Penn. who was Edward Wis nurse ana
liCH at the palace in 15G2. She was
buried in Hampton church, and
monument was erected which was ir-
revcrently destroyed when the Old
church was pulled down in 1929. Soon
after this strange noises rs of 4 woman

When search was made by the office or
works an ancient chamber was dis
covered in which IN antique spinning
wheel was found. the old oak plankS
being worn away where the treadte
struck the floor. After this Mrs. PENIS

occupants of the palace; but, according

court. she has not been seen since 1886,
when her tall. gaunt form. dressed in
Z long gray robe. nearly frightened a
young soldier to death
Another well accredited story relates
how certain lady of title who lived on
the west side of the Fountain court in
1870 was frequently conscious of the
presence in her room of two invisible
beings. and she was greatly disturbed
by the mysterious sounds that emanat-
ed from various quarters of her apart
mentS. She addressed a formal COM
plant to the lord chamberlain. This
gentleman referred her to the Office of
works, which, however declined to in
terfere on the ground that there were
no funds at their disposal for any such
purpose and that the jurisdiction of the
| tiTst commissioner did not extend to

Loss of Power
To Digest Food.

The most important function OF the
organs of the body is the digestion and
assimilation of food, and in this pro-
cess is consumed an enormous quantity
of nervous energy.
AS the result the moment disorders
of the nerves arise, digestion is impair
ed, and the very source of health,
strength and vitality interfered with.
To prevent physical bankruptcy the
nervous system must be built up by
outside aid such as the use of DR.. A. w
Chase's Nerve Pills, preparation COM
posed of the very elements of Nature
which go to form new blood and nerve
cells.
Besides this restorative influence on
the whole system, DIR. A. w. Chase's
Nerve Pills have an immediate and d.
rect effect on the digestive system. They
stimulate the nerves of taste and in
duce good flow of saliva to aid diges-
ton. They excite the glands Of the ston--
ach and produce a plentiful supply of
gastric digestive fluids. Dr. A W
