LITTLE YACHT SAFE
AF TER JOURNEY OF.
THOUSAND MILES

LONDON, July 2S.-The little 3d.
ton yacht Mana" has arrived safely
Ia an English port after a voyage of a
hundred thousand miles. Belonging
to Mr.. and Mrs. Scorehby Routledge
the vessel left England over two years
ago on a scientific mission to Esther
Island, in the South Pacific.
The last stage of the little vessels
voyage was from San Francisco which
she left five months ago. Altogether
there were eleven persons on board
including two men from Pitcairn Is
land. Mr.. Routledge had some inter-
esting details of the voyage.
After leaving San Francisco" he
said, I'VE came down the Mexican
coast. Two hundred miles from land
we came upon three islands marked
as uninhabited and l decided to land
to try and get some meats. But Duh
landing was delayed as the mouth OF
the cove was occupied by two whales
who were feeding and who refused to
move until the following day. On
landing we found rough shanty to-
gether with a derelict boat and along
side a rough cross evidently marking
a grave. In rift in cliff we found a
sort of cave strewn with old bottles
and odds and ends of a camp. Nearby
was piece of wood bearing the
names Annie Larsen which l learned
from shipwrecked sailor who was on
the yacht was the name of vessel en-
gagged in blockade running or contra
band There is no doubt that the re-
mote island had been dumping
ground for Mexican revolutionists.
There were so many turtles that we
got tired of feeding on them. 1t was
curious to see these creature BEING
regarded by the birds as kind o!
floating island, and to see gull:
preening themselves on the turtles
backs.
"The Mana visited one small island
in the Gulf of Panama where elephan.
tiasis was rampant among The people
The currents in this region were very
difficult and there was one sailing
ship that had been drifting in circles
for thirteen months and had been I'M
able to get out. The Panama Canal
was closed to traffic but the American
Government kindly allowed the Mana,
as the vessel of a scientific expedition
to go through.
Some fifty miles from Jamaica We
saw what appeared to be at first a
burning ship and afterwards looked
like smoke from a naval action. W.
found it to be submarine volcano

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU

says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poIsons.

If you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your
head is dull or aching; if what you eat
ours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
just right, begin inside bathing. Drink
before breakfast, a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels and cleanse,
sweeten and purify the entire alimen-
tary tract. Do your inside bathing i'm
mediately upon arising in the morning
to wash out of the system all the pre-
vious days poisonous waste, gases and
sour bile before putting more food into
the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm
purities get from your pharmacist a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost taste
less, EXCEPT for a sourish twinge which
is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing. sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver
kidneys and bowels. Men and women
who are usually .constipated, bilious

before breakfast. They are assured
they will become real cranks on the
