EDISON IS HIS owNDocToR.
The Electrician is Vegetarian and
Meat Eater by Turns.


They have little cot out at the labora-
tory where Edison sleeps when he spends
the night at the laboratory, which is not
more than ten minutes walk from his
handsome house in Llewellyn Park
Upon this cot he will snatch an hours
and half hours sleep at night while
waiting for the workingmen to finish an
armature or to bore a hole in some eX-
perimental steel. His meals during such
times are sent down from the house, and
he may eat them working at the bench or
standing up, or forget them altogether
This may 90 on for days al a time, and
Edison may not even take the trouble to
90 to the cot. but may turn in on a heap
of sawdust or the soft side of board and
snatch few minutes of sleep. MIR
Edison long ago got weary of people
who went up TO him and said "You
will ruin your health," Physicians
gazed at him with a long face and told
him if he kept this up his days were num-
bered
They wanted me to take drugs" said
he to a reporter, but | am my own doc
tor -
He has poor opinion of doctors who
write prescriptions designed to insert
strange drugs into a man. Mr.. Edison,
who is blessed with a most rugged const-
tuition and an elastic nature. has a curious
theory upon WHICH ne uOtJOTS himself.
He holds that nature somehow balances
things. When he has deprived himself
of sleep for several nights in succession,
he takes a long sleep to make up for it,
When he has been eating meat and his
liver or kidneys trouble him he suddenly
turns vegetarian.
That brings me around all right" said
he, and then if, after time, anything
goes wrong | begin TO eat meat meat
again, when everything is justified" Il
eat what like said Mir, Edison It ap-
pears to agree with him, for latterly he
has been gaining in weight One of the
things he likes is pie He drinks very
little and yet is far from being total

Several hundred people spent yester-
day at Tybee The Hotel Tybee was
crowded all day and there was a good
crowd at the Cottage Club also. Nearly
all the politicians in the city seemed to
have flocked to the island to spend Sun
day, and political discussions formed the
chief topic. The day was a very pleas
ant one, with a stiff breeze blowing from
the ocean. The surf was very heavy dur
ing the high tide in the afternoon, and
this kept many timid people from taking
