He wants to get back to his house in Stamboui. Every- body has been most kind to him. He| has met such American eminents as Elisabeth Marbury, Democratic national | committeewoman from New York, and| Tallulah Bankhead, actress. But to a man who says he remembers the face | of Napoleon Bonaparte, such honors are | puny. Zaro has been feeling cooped up APIIL Y, 1931 lately. He has lived in various hotels during the last few months and his only exercise has been walking. His interpreter is authority for the state- ment that he has covered 20 to 25 bocks dally—pretty good hike for a man of 157. But it hasn't been enough. In Stamboul he wil? be close to the various farms of his various relatives— there are 36 sons and daughters alone, by Zaro's count—and on a farm a man can really stretch himself. A couple of days before he sailed Zaro had the misfortune to damage his most prized souvenir of American civili- ;atlzn.

And the more you try to fight off fatigue un- aided, the quicker you’ll reach a state of exhaustion. The thing to do when you feel fatigue coming on is to stop work for a few moments and eat or drink something that contains sugar. The body is quickly revived by the physical rest and the “bite” of sweet food which is imme- diately digested. Small cakes, cookies, candy, carbonated beverages, tea, coffee, chocolate and flavored milk drinks are ap- propriate for between-meal fatigue.
