Famous Heroine Honored by Isle
Now Place Bearing Her
 Name, Offered for Sale.

Newport. F. L, April g Ida Lewis Rock in Newport Harbor, scene of the thrilling deeds of one of America $ greatest horoines, is to be sold by the government.
 Where lighthouse keepers tended their lamps for many years an au- tomatic light now burns. Therefore the lighthouse service is to dispense with all the property on the island except the ground on which the light is actually located. Bids are to be opened in June.
 Ida Lewis. after whom the rock is named, is generally known as the Grace Darling of America. Originally the lighthouse was known as Lime Rock Light, but the name was changed in honor of Miss Lewis. who. after her fathers death, kept the light burning for S3 years. She was made keeper by special act of congress in 1869.
 From her childhood Ida Lewis loved the sea. The grizzled tars who sailed from this old port taught JltI lHt IUCtitlOliS Ol tHt Stlle- ty lanes for ships and the hazards. She was an adept at rowing. When she was IT years old she effected her first rescue, saving four men whose boat had been capsized by a rough sea. In the years that | followed she was credited with snatching 17 more men from death in the swclls of the harbor-most of them soldiers who were going to or from Fort Adams.
 Medals and decorations for ex- treme bravery were showcred upon her. But she sought no fame or favor other than to remain on the little island until death. She died at the age of 70. and q throng press cd into the old cemetery to stand with barred heads at her burial. The Newport Historical society was made custodian of her many decorations and medals.
 Now that the little rock isle. witf its shore frontage. keepers house and boat sheds. is to be sold, sug gestion has been made by New porters that the property be pur. chased as reservation dedicated tt Miss Lewis memory.

LOVES EMBERS Adele Garrison's Absorbing Sequel To
 Revelations of a Wife"
-Beginning a New Serial

In all other cases where my father, head of his branch of the service | and affectionately called the Chief" had been associated with Lillian Underwood and Allen Drake. had been but an humble assistant. But at that memorable time when the gang of plotters against the govern ment headed by the man Schmidt had seemingly deiied capture. it had been my decoding of the Sumerian characters used in their communica- tions which had led to their round- up.
 Of course I did not know that this paper held anything criminal. The fact that it was in the possession of Princess Olina made the theory un- tenable. Yet she had spoken of re- ceiving a"fortune' for promising 10 deliver a "message'a I had no high opinion of the girls worldly wisdom or her ability to cope with interruptions people. Was this the message" which she had promised | to deliver. and was it also the req 1 son for her mysterious connection with the Transvanian vagabonds in the shack? And how did Dicky enter into it?
 l l was back in the same old round Of questioning, and with a mighty effort I banished everything from my mind save the charac cters before me, and plunged into a careful com- parson of them with those in the notebooks.
 Settling to my task, it was with q tingling little sense of finding the beginning Of definite trail that ] decided they were in truth Sumcrian, and ] barely had started upon the long and exhaustive search neccs- sary to find the meaning of the characters when I heard 1llian's low knock upon the door. For fear that some one else should be with her, l carefully covered my whole desk with newspaper before I un- locked the door. But there was no one with her. and with an approv- ing glance at my preca ut,on, she closed my door behind her and locked it. Then she turned to me, her face and eyes grave.
 Jim did take q note to the rcd beared man tonight" she said.

 Peter and Bobby Coon ~er" look ing more and more puzzled. '1 don't believe ever heard of King JaGuar before" said Bobby Coon. What docs he look like? Is he very big!
 Well, to begin with, he is a member of the cat family said Scrapper.
 Then. that's enough for mel de- clared Peter. II don't want to go where there arc any more cats than there are right around here. Does King Jaguar look lik Puma the Pan- ther?"
 Again Scrapper shook his head. You would know he was related to Puma said he. but that's as far as it goes in looks. King JaGuar isn't quite so long as Puma the Panther, but he is heavier-much heavier. guess Puma wouldn't want to get into fight with him. And he has the most wonderful coat! It is yellowish, covered with beautiful black spots. l can tell you one thing, and that is that every body steps aside when King Jaguar comes along. 1 don't think there is a single person in the Jungle who l Itr

The Rcd- Bearded Man Looms as . portcntous Figure in . Royal
 Mystery.

l went up to my room on leaden feet and with heart sorely troubled by Lillian's suspicion that Dicky had sent 2 message by Jim to the red- bearded man in the shack. It was not the first time l had puzzled my head over the reason for the appar- cnt good terms upon which Dicky appeared 10 be with the man whom Lillian suspected of being concerned in the mysterious danger which was menacing Princess Olina of Trans Nania. What possible connection could my husband have with this man whom Lillian believed to be a des- perate criminal?
 But the answer was not to be found in the realm ot my own imagination and with the knowledge hat work is the best panacea for worry l changed my clothing for a nesligee. and brought from its hid- ing place one of the copies l had made of the ciphercovered paper concealed in the back of Princess olina's miniature of her royal mother.
 already had locked my door and made sure that the curtains were drawn closely over the windows. l spread the paper over the big blotter on my desk, and, fastening it at the corners with tiny pins. sat down to study it. I had cleared the desk of everything save the paper and the row of note books of Sumerian char acters which had been given me long ago by an old professor Of ancient language. with whom I had worked and who had been much pleased with the material aid which he was good enough to say l had ;iven him. When first had looked al the code paper hidden in the back Of the miniature I had been i'm pressed with the fact that the char acters resembled those in my note books, and I meant now to verify that guess of mine if it were possible to do 50.
 A triumphant memory came to me as I took the first worn old book into my hand. It and several of it: mates had played a part in the old real triumph of diplomatic secre' service work which had been mine

Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DE. NOEElS EISHBJlN Editor .goIIr,,al Of the American Medical ASspi3,iun and of lily
 geia. tue Health Magazine

One of the most important fac tors in the care of the tuberculosis is the co operation of the patient in the banding of his disease.
 In a thesis prepared in the Uni Nerslty of Minnesota. Blanche Peterson insists that the most in- portant single factor in the cure of tuberculosis is an intelligent attitude ot the patient.
 Doctors, nurses and social workers endeavor therefore in every possible way to influence the patient to assume an intelli- gent and constructive outlook.
 A questionnairo sent 10 q score Of leading physicians who have specialized in this subject resulted in the almost universal response that reasonable and courageous attitudes ar" highly constructive The worst states are those of fear. | anxiety and depression. The patient with tuberculosis who becomes discouraged. hope 1 less, pesSimistic or rebelIious is difficult to treat and aids in his downfall.
 Encouragement
 When n person first learns that le has this disease. he is likely 10 be upset and depressed. Knowing nothing of modern care, he is like ly to feel that the disease will be promptly fatal.
 If. however tho physician who makes the diagnosis will tell the patient that help is possible. that the disease is curable, if treated sufficiently carly and sufficiently long; that dozens of persons have achieved world wide fame even though suffering from this dis ease, he is likely to have a differ. ent attitude and to cooperate fully in treatment.
 Courage and reasonablencss can come only with complete understanding of the situation For this reason the health educa ton of the tuberculous has com, 10 be one of the most importan ltLN VI , Ill AOillpl oi tljS SOHuI lion. and a vast literature ha grown up for the purpose.
 Practically every tuberculosis sanatorium and tuberculosis so ciety now publishes books an' pamphlets which arc helpful il informing th" tuberc,iious of tn important facts relative 10 thci condition.

 soclation. 80 Seventh Ave, NcN 5 York City. publishes much ma 7 terial that is useful. Such *book , as the guides and calendars fo ] the tuberculous. edited by Law , rason Brown, are eXcccdlngl l helpful.

Editors Note: Modern conditions and increasing knowledge Of physi- ology make new demands upon the care of our health today. This is the second of q series of six articles discussing "rhc Physiological Life" Tomorrow: Crowding.
 (BT DR. NOISES T1SHBEIN) Editor Journal of thc American Medical Association and Of Jlygeia,

 The second thesis of Dr. A. !. Carlson in considering the physio logical life was that modern man lives under more uniform climatic conditions than his ancentors be cause of clothes houses and fire. In consequence ho lives less in tho open and farther from the sun than did promltiNe man.
 Primitive man lived in the open and had to take exercise in order to secure food and to escape from danger Modern man in large cities lives indoors and takes only the amount of exercise, in most in stances, that may be demanded by going to and from his work daily.
