ed here from Thurso, Scotland, after
being .rescued in midocean when the
airplane in which they were attempt-

near the Danish steamer Mary, were
received by King George at Bucking-
ham Palace.
His Majesty bestowed on Hawker
and Grieve the insignia of the Air
Force Cross. They are the first ac-
tual recipients of this order.
An immense crowd gathered in
front of Buckingham Palace to wit-
ness the arrival of Hawker and
Grieve, who were loudly cheered
when they made their appearance.
The crowd also gave them an ovation
when ,they left the palace.

NORTH RUSSIA
Canadian Force Will Return Via
the Pacific Coast.
A despatch from London says: -
The Canadian force in North Russia
has been recalled. It is about six
hundred strong and consists chiefly
of an artillery brigade, commanded
by Col. Sharman. The Canadians,
who have done splendid work against
the Bolsheviki, will return to Canada
via the Pacific coast.
Their morale duping the fighting
has been very good, but of late there
has been considerable dissatisfaction
because of their retention after the
return of their comrades from
France. Considering it is the Cana-
dian policy to demobilize all soldiers
as soon as possible, the London ati-
thorities have now issued orders for
their recall.

BRIIDES AND JUNE
Superstitions Regarding Best Month
For Solemnization of Marriage.
•
The first people to adopt the month
of June as sacred to Hymen, the god
of marriage, were the ancient Ro-
mans, who .considered June the most
propitious season of the year for
entering upon matrimonial relations.
The Romans 'held that June wed-
dings were likely to be happier than
alliances contracted in any other
month of the year, especially if the
day chosen -were that of the full
moon.
They also held that of all months
May was to- be avoided, as t�o that
month newlyweds, would come ceder
the influence of spirits adverse to
happy households.
These ancient marriage supersti-
tions were related by the Christians
in the Middle Ages, and even to -day
June is considered by many to be
pre-eminently the month of marriage.

The steamer Lake f;harlotteville ar-
rived at Falmouth on. Wednesday
with Hawker's machine on board. It
was •badly damaged. The plane was
found on May 28, tail up, 1,200 miles
from Newfoundland. It will be land-
ed by naval authorities, who will take
charge of it until the Sopwith repre-
sentatives arrive. Hawker's . mails•
are .intact. The airplane is to be
sent to London and will be on view on
the roof of Selfridge's establishment
in Oxford Street, Hawker expressed
his delight at the finding of the ma -
'chine. q`It's recovery," he said, "will
be of tile' greatest value. On' it are
many records which will be of great
assistance. Some appliances ofmost
delicate construction and adjusthient
are attached to the machine, and these

WHAT ;FASTING
DOES TO FOLKS
SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ARE BEING
MADE OF THIS PROBLEM.
Notion That Abstaining From Food
Promotes ''Bodily Health is Not
Endorsed by Medical Men.
Of recent years there has been a
fasting. fad. Sonia' people hap as-
serted . that bodily Health wa; ro-
moted by going without .food for con-
siderable lengths of time.
It cannot be salol that the medical
faculty has ever tndorsed this remark-
able notion. The view held by phy-
sicians and physiologists generally is
that such performances are dead
against Mature and impose a clanger -
oils strain upon the human system.
Per contra, Doctor Tanner, mast
famous of all fasters, died last li'ebr-►
nary -in San Diego, Cal,,at the fairs"y
ripe age of ninety-one, IIe had a
theory that health and long life .could
be improved and lengthened by ex-
tended periods of food -deprivation,
Famous Dr. Tanner Fasts.
The most famous of his fasts ex-
tended more than forty clays. He was
carefully
watched
during th
e perform-
ance
erfornance
to snake sure that he ate nothing.
Barring the sucking of casual oranges,
it could not be discovered that in that
period he touched 'anything that could
be called food.
More recently there have been sci-
entitle studies • miide of this problem.
Dogs and other animals have been the
subjects of most, of them., But the
Carnegie Institute, not long, ago, em-
ployed for the ptrpose an Italian
named Succi, who was a professional
faster. He did it for a living, the pay
being high.
Sueci's best record was thirty days
of a fast, at the end of which there
set in certain "ante-mortem" symp-
toms which persuaded the scientists in
charge to quit the experiment. Mani-
festly he was a weakling; for a Paris
faster named Merlatti kept the thing
up for fifty days.
How long would it take, to
starve to death if unsupplied with any
food? The answer, so far as experi-
mental observations would indicate, is
that it depends mainly upon how fat
you are. If you are a skinny person,
you would not last long.
How Human Body is Affected.
You see, the human body is an; -;en-
gine and food is its fuel When tura '
food supply is cut off the engine must
for fuel draw Upon the tissues of the
body and burn then.
The fat stored in the body is, under
such circumstances the -fuel most
available. Therefore, as one observes,
a starved person becomes rapidly thin-
ner, losing weight.
Suppose the starvation is to con-
tinue. Then, when the• fat has been
used up. the muscular and other tis-
sues are drawn upon for fuel to fur-
nish the energy required to support
the mechanism of the body and keep
it in operation. But this is vastly
more expensive, physiologically speak-
ing,.. because it takes about twelve
pounds of muscular or glandular tis-
sue to make an equivalent (as fuel)
to be committed to lunatic asylums.

BRIIDES AND JUNE
Superstitions Regarding Best Month
For Solemnization of Marriage.
•
The first people to adopt the month
of June as sacred to Hymen, the god
of marriage, were the ancient Ro-
mans, who .considered June the most
propitious season of the year for
entering upon matrimonial relations.
The Romans 'held that June wed-
dings were likely to be happier than
alliances contracted in any other
month of the year, especially if the
day chosen -were that of the full
moon.
They also held that of all months
May was to- be avoided, as t�o that
month newlyweds, would come ceder
the influence of spirits adverse to
happy households.
These ancient marriage supersti-
tions were related by the Christians
in the Middle Ages, and even to -day
June is considered by many to be
pre-eminently the month of marriage.

WHAT ;FASTING
DOES TO FOLKS
SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ARE BEING
MADE OF THIS PROBLEM.
Notion That Abstaining From Food
Promotes ''Bodily Health is Not
Endorsed by Medical Men.
Of recent years there has been a
fasting. fad. Sonia' people hap as-
serted . that bodily Health wa; ro-
moted by going without .food for con-
siderable lengths of time.
It cannot be salol that the medical
faculty has ever tndorsed this remark-
able notion. The view held by phy-
sicians and physiologists generally is
that such performances are dead
against Mature and impose a clanger -
oils strain upon the human system.
Per contra, Doctor Tanner, mast
famous of all fasters, died last li'ebr-►
nary -in San Diego, Cal,,at the fairs"y
ripe age of ninety-one, IIe had a
theory that health and long life .could
be improved and lengthened by ex-
tended periods of food -deprivation,
Famous Dr. Tanner Fasts.
The most famous of his fasts ex-
tended more than forty clays. He was
carefully
watched
during th
e perform-
ance
erfornance
to snake sure that he ate nothing.
Barring the sucking of casual oranges,
it could not be discovered that in that
period he touched 'anything that could
be called food.
More recently there have been sci-
entitle studies • miide of this problem.
Dogs and other animals have been the
subjects of most, of them., But the
Carnegie Institute, not long, ago, em-
ployed for the ptrpose an Italian
named Succi, who was a professional
faster. He did it for a living, the pay
being high.
Sueci's best record was thirty days
of a fast, at the end of which there
set in certain "ante-mortem" symp-
toms which persuaded the scientists in
charge to quit the experiment. Mani-
festly he was a weakling; for a Paris
faster named Merlatti kept the thing
up for fifty days.
How long would it take, to
starve to death if unsupplied with any
food? The answer, so far as experi-
mental observations would indicate, is
that it depends mainly upon how fat
you are. If you are a skinny person,
you would not last long.
How Human Body is Affected.
You see, the human body is an; -;en-
gine and food is its fuel When tura '
food supply is cut off the engine must
for fuel draw Upon the tissues of the
body and burn then.
The fat stored in the body is, under
such circumstances the -fuel most
available. Therefore, as one observes,
a starved person becomes rapidly thin-
ner, losing weight.
Suppose the starvation is to con-
tinue. Then, when the• fat has been
used up. the muscular and other tis-
sues are drawn upon for fuel to fur-
nish the energy required to support
the mechanism of the body and keep
it in operation. But this is vastly
more expensive, physiologically speak-
ing,.. because it takes about twelve
pounds of muscular or glandular tis-
sue to make an equivalent (as fuel)
to be committed to lunatic asylums.
