Photographed Often At Le Bourget and at the Elysee palace after President Doumergue kissed him and gave him the cross, Lindbergh was under the lenses of batteries of cameras. Wherever Lindbergh was recognized he was cheered. Men who knew the France of the war said the popular acclaim for Lindbergh was comparable to some of the great demonstrations of war time. French and American and other reporters constantly were after the flier. Easily Recognized Now Lindbergh’s tall, somewhat lanky figure has been so minutely described in the French press that all who saw him today knew who he was. Os course Ambassador Herrick is well known, ami had there been any doubt as to the identity of his companion on the automobile ride to the Elysee palace, the ambassador's smile would have made identification certain. “This makes me young again,” the ambassador exclaimed. A French reporter enquired whether Lindbergh had learned any French during the day and a half he lias An Every-day Story Indianapolis, Jnd. —“Several of Dr. Pierce’s remedies have been used in my family and I can truthfully say they ' jjA were always pcrfectf.’J \M * y satLsfactory.

been here. "Not yet,” replied the flier, “but I will have to learn some soon.” Lindbergh arose early and motored to Le Bourget accompanied by the military and naval attaches of the American embassy and escorted by officials of the Surete (lenerale.

I eastern daylight time, Saturday, 33 | hours and 30 minutes out of New I York. I Tlie American's long strides out-dis-tanced the photographers who shot him as he hurried on toward his plane. After a quick inspection, Lindbergh was satisfied that his plane was in good shape despite the exuberant man-handling of the welcoming crowd Saturday. “I found the plane in better shape than I had expected," Lindbergh told the United Press. "I was afraid the crowd would tear it to pieces. “Did you see tile crowd? It was terrible, wasn’t it? They took some souvenirs, but I shall have the ship fixed here and the work will start today and I hope to lie able to fly around Paris a bit. “I don't know whether I shall take the plane back to America. That will be decided in a few days. I peeped at the motor and it locked perfectly

From early morning until late at | night, crowds have tmrroutidod the American embassy where Lindbergh is the guest of Ambassador Ibiilik Most of the watchers were school girls ami debutantes who made scrap book collections of newspaper accounts of Lindbergh's arrival and then brought the books to the cnibassy hoping that they could get the flier's autograph. Lindbergh likes Paris and has de-1 veloped a weakness for French pastry. Incomprehensible as h may be to the French, Lindbergh has refused chain- 1 paigne and even cigarettes, explaining that he never smokes. During the dinner at the American embassy to which Ambassador Herrick invited his personal staff and their wives. Lindbergh undecidedly examined a tray of French pastry. Then lie chose one l of the most elaborate confections. That one tasted good to Lindbergh.' After a moment's hesitation, the young man who brought letters of introduction with liim so he wouldn't ; be lonely, inquired of Ambassador Herrick: “Do you suppose I could have another?” The ambassador piled Lindbergh's plate with pastry. The Leviathan of the United States line probably will bring Lindbergh home. The big ship is due to sail from Cherbourg May 31, and although Lindbergh has not decided on the length of his stay, lie probably will be aboard. “I am awaiting definite instructions from San Diego (headquarters of the company which built the Ryan plane) before deciding to dismantle the plane and ship it home,” Lindbergh said. “1 hope 1 can take* it with me cm the same boat.” ~o —— Get the Habit —Trade at Home, It Pays Lost His Rheumatism and Stomach Trouble Says He Never Has a Bit of It Now. Suffered for 30 Years. “I had stomach trouble for 30 years. My stomach would bloat and cramp. The gas would crowd back my heart, and the pains were awful, i- My appetite was poor and I bad to watch what I ate all the time. I also had rheumatism in my right ' leg below the knee, and my ankle swelled up so I could hardly walk. Nothing I would take did me any good. Then I heard of Viuna and bought a bottle, and right from the t first I felt better.* Now I feel fine, c My stomach trouble is all gone.
