subdebs and many others feel the loss
keenly.
However, grief Is not restricted to
| this class alone. We also hear that
members of Congress were fairly be-
sieged with requests from the folks

visit the yacht. The Maydower was
probably the most popular sight in

tors. More than one Congressman
work will be ightened now that the
boat has departed from the wash
ington navy yards.
While visiting the navy yards before

story typical of the interest the yacht
held for the common people"
| 1t was "cleaning-up" day when a Wis
| itor appeared on the deck to look the
yacht over. The officer of the deck
approached him and said that visitors
were not allowed aboard that day. 1t

that as a taxpayer he had a right

The o. D. appealed to the executive

arguments, too, were futile. In deSpera-
| ton he went to the captain, who at
| that time was the late George M.
Stoney, and told him there was Wis
itor aboard who absolutely would not
| leave the boat.
Stoney came on deck and approached
the visitor. Walking over TO deck
rail, he cut silver therefrom and
| handed 1t to tbs visitor.

Contrary to the popular conception,

It may interest you to know that the

States Navy. The Presidents china
was decorated with narrow gold band
and the official crest, but in other re-
spects was of the regulation type. Sub

There were two especially attractive
places on the yacht.
One was the Presidents study. The

That Empty Feeling.

seven after I received your pamphlet
on reducing almost a year ago, 1t took
me several months to gain enough
courage to begin. But I finally did
begin, and in five months have lost "a

about it is that Petersizing has been
fun! I haven't starved to death yet or
scarcely felt hungry at any time. And
I have gotten SO that love that empty

CONGRATULATIONS on your success, G.
I'm glad we got you eventually.
If one diets correctly, there is no need
of being hungry In fact, I can safely
say that it isn't what is eaten when one
is hungry, anyway, that causes excess
fat to accumulate. If one never ate
except when genuinely hungry and then
stopped when the hunger was appeased
that would mean no overeating at any
one meal and very little eating between
meals. And it is the overeating at meals
and the between meal snack that stack
up the calories and therefore the tat
The thing the reducer has to fight
in the beginning is not real appetite but
simply longing for certain foodS-eS-

instead of longing and thinking OF food
all the time, the very pleasant thing

But, repeat, it is not necessary to feel
hungry. If you do actually feel hungry,
YOU can take a few calories OF some
fruit, or a cup of skim milk or hot

will satisfy the hunger pains.
I find good way to overcome the

One of the girls who belonged In the

even younger than Nancy, had just
moved near the Page home and Nancy
made a morning call as she passed the
house on her way to market. Her
hostess came to the door attired in
overalls. She was a young thing and
looked most fetching. She did not
apologize for her clothing, but explained
more as a matter of course than any
thing else that she always wore overalls

barley, and salt, pepper and celery salt

Everyday Law Cases
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Thomas and Miller were partners in
the building business. Miller, contrary
to the agreement with his partner, gave
an estimate on a job without consult
ing his partner, and the estimate was
accepted. a. ~
When Thomas heard of the estimate
he renounced it, showing that it was
much too low, and that Miller had no
authority to make estimates without
the consent Of both partners.
Suit was brought against the firm
for their failure to perform in accord
with Miller's contract, and Thomas, in
defense, set up his special agreement
with Miller, contending that the firm
could not be held liable.
The court, however, held the partner
ship liable, stating:
"a partner has authority to act in
behalf of the firm in matters within
the ordinary scope of the firms busi-
ness, and such acts will bind the firm,
unless the partner was forbidden to act
in particular matter, and the one
with whom he dealt had knowledge
of this fact at the time"

Two famous nutrition authorities
emphasize the need of the human
body for the calcium and phosphorus
found in milk. Children and ex-
pectant or nursing mothers should
have from three-auarters to one
quart Of milk q day, according to
these authorities. and other adults
should have from three-ouarters of
a pint to a pint Of milk day. These
authorities point out that too little
calcium in the diet rstards bone
growth, causes ricketts,, may result In
bone deformities, produces poor
quality Of teeth and lowers vigor and
vitality. Whole milk also is rich in
phosphorus.
Unfortunately there are many
people who do not like the taste OF

1T is risky, of course, and we may

These were the last words written
by Col. P. H. Fawcett. the British eX-
plorer, who went to Brazil in 1925.
When l left New York early in 1923
in search Of him. the sentiments he
expressed found an echoing response
in my own heart 1t was risky bust
ness. without doubt Previous cX-
perience in Matte Crosse and with the
savage tribes of the Amazon had taught
me that. One cannot penetrate the
uneXplored regions Of South America
with impunity. The great unknown is
full of risks. Danger may Turk on the
further side of distant hill. 1t may
be close at hand-around the bend OF
some innocent river. Maybe it is lying
at your feet in the shape of poisonous
reptile; or some jungle malady may
snuff out your life.
In land of plenty, existence should
not be difficult. Yet starvation. the
great enemy of the explorer, stalks
among the trees, and that silent mes
senger of death, the arrow of some
hostile tribesman, is a danger that no
amount of precaution can avoid.
Area Held Evil Reputation.
The area Col. Fawcett chose to ex-
plore had an evil reputation. All at
tempts to probe its secrets had ended
in tragedy.

my party have been through during

1t is with the greatest regret that
I have to announce Col. FaWcett's
fate. Both he, his son, Jack, and Ra-
leigh Rimell were killed by hostile In
dams five days after crossing to the
east of the Kuluene River, some time
during the month of July, 1925. There
is not the slightest doubt about this.
The story of how it occurred was told
us too often, and we heard it from
too many sources to leave any room
for argument. The only question that
arises is. who killed them?
From information obtained on the
spot an Indian chief named Aloique
was the culprit. If not the actual
murderer, he was certainly the prime
mover in the killing which was
prompted by robbery. To those who
