DR.. Gustave a. Gayer, president of

hopes to be able to keep up for forty

the condition of the subconscious mind
and giving the forces of life some Op-
pOrtunity to gather themselves and
gain strength. Several physicians will
watch the doctor carefully and make
examinations from time to time. Dr.
Gayer has made fasting experiments

weeks.

AMERICAS OLDEST SHIP.
The Polly, Which Is to See New York,
Terror of British In 1912.


The good ship Polly. which recently
left New Bedford for New York, Is the
oldest vessel in the United States and
one of the oldest in the world. For
105 years this two maSted schooner
has been doing business, but even now
she can outsail many modern vessels.
The Polly's laurels are not all those
Of peace. In the war Of 1912 many Il
time she gave battle on the seas to
craft twice her size. She captured
eleven rich prizes in that conflict. AS
n privateer under command of Captain
Juduthan Upton. with her decks 5ris-
Ting with guns, she was the terror Of
British commerce.
The Polly dropped out Of the binocu-
lar limelight to bob up in 1910 in the
coasting trade. In 1910 and the sue
ceeding years the little smartly rugged
sixty footer rounded Cape Horn six
times and made two complete trips
around the world.
OF recent years she has been carry
ing lumber between Bangor and other
Maine ports. While the boat has been
almost remade. it's the same old Polly,
and If you had been interested in ship
ping century ago you would have no
trouble in recognizing her now.

four years. His father belonged to the

ago to assemble for muster in uniform

son Armstrong. and as he was so
young he was very noticeable among
so many mature men.
1t occurred to Father Custer that a

child. so he had one made like his
own by the village tailor in great
secrecy and took his little son home IN
it to his surprised and proud mother.
