From my daily walk re- turning, I sit down with weary sigh, and express a hopeless yearning for & quiet place to die. And the women flock around me, bringing cushions, pies and pills, sorry that the years have drowned me in a flood of griev- ous ills. Oh, they bring my carpet slippers, seat me in my padded chair, bring 'me lemonade in dippers, strive to ease my load of care. “No, I am not growing stronger,” I inform these kindly groups; “I may last a little longer, but I'm billed to loop the loops.

LAWRENCE, Kans., March 4 (P). —Frieda Hempel, the singer, express. ed surprise here last night at reports from Springfleld, 1N, that she had acquired the diamond and emerald tara which formerly belonged to Catherine the Great of Russia. _..“You tell them, Gino,” she said to Gino A. Baldini, her personal repre. sentative, between bites of hot waffes at the restaurant where they were found. “When we get a telegram from New York—we are waiting now wwe will know more,” said Baldini. “But it shouldn’t be discussed now." It was reported from Springfield that Mme. Hempel announced the purchase of the tiara in a telegram received there and that the price was $100,000. Gets $125,000 for Injury.

Easy To Gain Weight - With Yeast and Iron New Combination of Yeast With Vegetable Iron Builds Up RETIREMENTBILL THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ©., THURSDAY, MARCH 1926, AGTION SEEN SOON. Committee, Agreed on Pro- visions, Will Take Time to Consider Plan. With House Leader Tilson pledged to a%ord ample time for passage of & liberalizing Civil Service retirement measure and with the civil service committee likely to have two days which to work off its bills on the c: endar, prospects seem very favor. able for early uction on the new measure agreed upon by the special | subcommittee yesterday in executive session. The full committee Is in complete accord with the provisions included by the subcommittee, which were tentatively passed upon in ex ecutive session following extensive | hearings. The maximum annulty is placed at $1,200, based on an $1,500 | tirement after 30 years of service at the age of 63 years for' rallway mail clerks, mechanics and laborers, 60 years for other postal employes and 62 years for departmental employes is provided for in the new bill—after many vears of peveistent effort to get | these ages accepted. On reaching the age of 70 a Gov- ernment employe may voluntarily re-| tire after 15 years of service, accordingy to the new measure. e The amount of retirement pay is to be computed by taking the annual sal ary of the employe fop 10 years pre- {ceding retirment, multiplying it by the number of years of service and divid- | {ing the amount by 45. | The maximum amount of annuity and the method of computing the an {nuity have been pretty well agreed |upon between members of both the| House and Senatc committees and the {leaders of the employes' organizations for some time. There has been an earnest effort made to get retirement automatic at age, as now written into the bill. It is possible that lower age limits may later be put into the bill., members of the House committee admit, if the cost figures now being prepared by a board of actuaries show that this is feasible. The House committee has gone ahead with plans for pressing this lib- erallzing measure for early action in the House without waiting for the cost figures to be submitted by Herbert D. Brown, chief of the Bureau of Efi- clency. Tt is the intention of Chair man Lehlbach, if he gets these cost |figures in time, to incorporate them in {his report i ; Ten Clubs Padlocked. | NEW YORX, March 4 UP).—Ten {padlock decrees against night clubs, restaur s and speakeasie: to have vi the were fssued night K slated last Weight in Three Weeks Thin, run-down and underweight, the end of 30 years’ service regardless |} of age, instead of the 58-60-62 years.| $1.50 Bottles—1%-Ounce Size Popular Narcissus Odor Attractively boxed—enough for one day's selling.

A new combination of yeast vi- tamines with vegetable ironm, re- news the action of sluggish blood cells, drives out dangerous body poisons, increasss energy and sup- plies the system with the vitamines that build up weight. For years yeast has been known as a rich vitamine food, but not until we perfected “ironized | yeast”—which comes in concen- trated tablet form, was it possi- ble to take yeast and iron in the proportions that bu‘ld weight. Vegetable “Iron” when com- bined with yeast quite easy to i / digest, therefore batter for the system. And “yeast” when iron- ized, becomes just twice as ben- eficial as fresh or cake yeast.
