Vt. August 16.— President Coolidge sought the rare 2ir of his 0ld home earller than usual this morning. He appeared on the Jawn shortly before 7 o'clock wearing an old sweater coat, but was hatless and collarless. He appeared to have spent 2 restless night and fafled to acknowledge the greetings of those who passed the house. It was said that he had arisen early because of a bothersome tooth which it is believed to have been provoked by an exces- sive eating of maple sugar candy night As the Presider srounds his eve quickly took in all the old familiar objects. and he ap- peared 1o be especially interested in the new asbestos shingle roof. here in July.

The President heard Mrs. Coolidge’s firat call and looked around in acknowledgment. He did not move at once, however, and again Mrs. Coolidge called, saying. “Hurry, Calvin, the breakfast is getting cold and your father does not like any one to be late.” Warned to Omit Candy.
