To the Editor of the Sun:
SR-FIrst to adopt the five cent restau-
rant two dollars a week for lodging, sixteen
dollar suits, five dollar hat, quarter hair cut
ting, five cent buttoniere, five cent neck tie,
dollar glove, economic evolution-will the
Sun help me to utilize my experience to
benefit others?
With cheap coal, cheap rents, cheap labor,
why should we poor people pay dollar to
dollar and a half for a single Turkish or
Russian bath when fifty cents pays large
profit, or $40 to SIS for board when So is
ample on the European plan? Why should
one man pay two portions at Delmonico's
when he wants but one?

Houses are standing empty! Capitalists
want TO secure good investment. Several
| have consulted me. The Sun is rich in its
| one hundred thousand daily acquaintance,
and seems always willing to help the citi-
zens.
Having more experience than any living
man, and an immense energy when aroused,
let me sum up in a nutshell what | want to
| carry out in my psychological reforms:
l. Change three adjoining brown stone
| fronts near Madison square into the finest
| Turkish and Roman baths for ladies and
gentlemen ever built, open day and night
| for each (how inconvenient it is to be con-
| fined to certain hours. All Improvements

utilized with profit. Plunges, up and down

ers, steam jets, and all complete for half a
| dollar.

will only cost the present price of a bath.

have all the advantages of a first class
hotel.
4. The most important feature next 10
| cleanliness in bathing is the diet. Such
deadly poisons as nicotine from tobacco,
meat and alcohol must be abolished to guar
antee health. Also the water cure, boarding
house, American hotel, three meals day

the dairy plan. Oatmeal, wheaton grits,

of bread, fruit and vegetables, baked beans

cocoa shells, pure milk, baked apples gems,
all of best quality, on the five and ten cent
plan. No wine, beer, whisky or liquors.
No meat, game, oysters, eggs, poultry nor
| cigars or tobacco in any form. Not through
moral or religious objections, but as a mat
ter OF hygiene.
One of the successful dairy restaurant pro
prietors is ready to organize this depart

and Quaker dietary luxuries, sans their Pc
culiar social ideas.
