WILLIAM CREATES
 COURT AT DOORN
Dutch Newspapers Have Already Began Calling It "The Little
 POtsdam'
By Associated Press

Doorn, Holland, July 9.-The former German Emperor William, while pro- fessing a desire to lead at Doorn the quiet life of country gentleman. has nevertheless created little court around him-somewhat larger than that which he had at Amerongen, and Dutch newspapers have already begun calling Doorn The Little Potsdam."
 The allies demands upon Holland to guard the former Emperor closely have made 1t Impossible flor William to mingle with the Dutch country gentry who have estates about Doorn and the house where he is said to expect to spend his remaining days is just like a little bit of Germany.
 Strict military order prevails out side the House of Doorn, where pass ersby must not be too curious. Within the discipline is Prussian. William s only associates are German, His entire staff, including approximately forty servants, are German, with one eXcep- tion-the village barber, Dutchman, is called in now and then to trim his hair or beard.
 When at Amerongen, William went frequently to Doorn by automobile, bu. now. he is seldom seen outside the wire fence of his estate, which villagers call his forty -hectare cage" Forty hectares are about eighty acres.
 The few times he has been out he has paid visits to his former host Count Bentinck, at Amerongen Now and then the former crown prince or others of Williams sons have been permitted to visit the exile. largely be- cause of the illness of their mother but. from day to day, William seldom sees any new faces-only his daily as sociates.

Gem Smuggling in India

From Maharajas and Their Jewels, "
 by Eleanor Maddock, in Asia.
 Human beings have gone to almost unbelievable extremes in their insati- ble greed for jewels. They have been smuggled away in gashes made in the fleshy parts of arms and legs and in the fostering sores of underlings. The swallowing of diamonds, a time hon ored practice, is an extremely danger ous experiment although it has been done with success in small doses as gems in India are not so sharply cut as in Europe; yet the effect on the human mechanism of anything hard enough to cut or scratch the hardest substance can well be imagined. Often times when they were thrust hy the handful down the throat of some collis g slave, whose life was worth no more to his master than a temporary recep- tacle for footed gems, it meant certain death 10 the unhappy victim of greed and theft. This was a popular method among raiders of merchant caravans. as usually within the period of the first twenty -four hours the terrible convulsions that followed could not be readily distinguished from the first symptoms of the raj bemar (cholera).

FEW REALIZE VALUE
 OF BODY TO AUTO

Few people realize the relative value of the body to the rest of the car" said William L. Powell, body engineer, in charge of the design and construction of the bodies for the new Premocar. Each succeeding day finds the body playing d greater part in the selection of cars.
 This new body that l have developed is without doubt one of the best being used on any car now being manufae- tured. Every joint is morticed, glued and screwed into it's place. Special iron braces are then screwed into place, and after the sheet steeh covering is put on, it makes one of the strongest jobs on the market. The lines will follow the highly pleasing full bevel body, high- radiator and softly curved back"
 Mir. Powell is the designer of the Pre- mocar bodies, having built and delivered to the New York Show this year ths first five of the series. He has also de- signed and built the bodies recently used by Apperson, Severin and Common wealth. He is now at work on the pat terms for the New Premocar Special, which will carry the famous Rochester Duesenberg motor.

CRUSOE'S CAVE IS
 TO BECOME RESORT
Rr As.ocIatnd Pre,,


 Honolulu. II. l., July 3O.-Robinson Crusoe's cave may soon be converted into sleeping quarters for globe trotters. according to Prof. w. A. Bryan, vice president of the Hawaiian Historical Society. The Chilean government, Mir Bryan said recently, is considering creating a national park and tourist re- sort on the island of Juan Fernandez famed as the abode of Daniel de Foe's literary character.
 Modern hotels and other attractions would be erected on the island, accord ing to plans being considered. The beauty and verdure of the island, Mir Bryan says, is similar to the oldest park of the Hawaiian Islands.
 Two nights were spent by Professor Bryan recently in Robinson Crusoe's s cave. The professor is at present in the South seas seeking proof of his theory of an immense submerged continent in the Pacific.

NOTE: The subject OF vitamines
discussed above by DR.. Rudolph has
taken great strides since the eminent
scientist. DIR. Cashier Funk. of London,
named the substance in 1911 Osborne
and Mendel of Yale Medical. and b. j.
McCollum of Johns-Hopkins Univer-
sity perhaps have done most in this
country. The London Lancet. one or
the leading and most authoritative
medical journals of the world devotes
considerable space in nearly every
issue to a discussion of vitamines and
their influence upon the general health
The concentrated tablet form known
as VITAMON affords a simple. easy
method for getting vitamines into the
system and quickly building up the
strength, energy and power, and may
be taken with benefit by either men or
women. young or old. An agreement
has been reached whereby VITAMON is
supplied at a price low enough to be
within the reach of all, and completely
satisfactory results are guaranteed or
money will be promptly refunded.
NITAMON may now be obtained in this
city from all leading druggists, such as
Quigley's, a. J. Luken, Thistlethwaite,
Foster. and Daffler & SpanagsL'
