About two years ago, one Of your repre-

and was glad of the opportunity to try
something that would furnish me with
a good morning beverage, but not give
me the trouble that coff % did.
The reason some people fail to make
good Postum is that they undertake to
get the good out of the cereals by few
minutes boiling. whereas not less than
twenty live minutes should be used In
making a good pot full OF Postum. When
it is properly boiled, 1t is a most delicious

TASTED s5 DAYS.
Mr.. William LittlefleId Tells an
Interesting Experience.
He Believes That Food ls Really Not So
Necessary as People Suppose.

A short time ago 1t was reported that
Mr.. William o. Littleieid, of kenne.
bunk. had tasted forty days. Mr.. Little-
neld was in the city on Tuesday, and cor
roots this statement In o few particulars,
although the wonderful features of the
faot still remain. MIR. Littleteld, who
is young man so years OF age. was ad.
vised to fast as q cure for certain troubles
which afflicted him. The fasting treat
ment is the method of o new school of
medicine which has attracted consider
able attention in this country and Eng
LAM, and MIR. Littlefeld tasted under the
direction OF physician. 81 bsgan,n
says MIR. Littleneld, ION Wednesday,
April IL. and broke my fast on May II,
making thirty-hve days. During that
time went about my work as usual,
and my business requires considerable
manual labor. During that time my
weight was reduced from $50 to le5
pounds; but after the first day or two /
had no real hunger. Whenever thirsty 1
drank water. Otherwise / did not touch
morsel of food, At the end of the 35th
day my symptoms were greatly improved
and ravenous appetite came co me and
I ate a hearty meal Of steak, potatoes
boiled rice, asparagus, string beans,
whole wheat bread, and strawberries.
From this meal suffered no discomfort.
l find my physical health much i'm
proved. and am now recovering the flesh
which lost.
II believe that any man can fast. as
long provided he can have what water
he wants and be relieved of the mental
fear of starvation. 1t is the fear Of star
walton that drags down people who find
themselves where they cannot get food.
With nervousness and fear removed a
man may go without food for long peri
DDS, just as bears do when they hiber-
nate. -
Mr.. Littlefeld certainly looks well
now, and his appearance FEARS out his
statement that IL Is not really necessary
for man to have his three meals regularly.
1t will be remembered that DIR. Tan
ner demonstrated that man could go
forty days without eating; but he was
much reduced physically.
