Mr.. P1ERsoN, OF COLONIAL BEACH

The following letter written y Dr.. +

article IN the Post Of January ~ from

food for one aud one half years, sub

food was gradually el minated from his
bill OF fare, until two years ogo he took
only soups. milk and viii ky The
soups not agreeing with him six months
later were discontinued. Since that
time, one and a half years ago. as Mr..
Reh says, the only nourishment taken
is milk and whisky. As will be noted.
he gradually came TO liquid diet, and
for the last two years has lived ex-
clusively on liquid nOurishment. The
quantity OF milk consumed every TWEEN
ty.four hours ranges from three pints
to a half gallon. The milk is always
mixed with whisky-three ounces milk
TO one ounce Of whisky. This portion
is taken at short intervals during the
day from the time he arises In the
morning until his bed time about
9 or 10 o'clock. Mr.. Pierson did not
adopt this mode Of living to demon
strate any pet theory nor to gain noto.
riety, but soley to benefit his health.
While his health is far from being
good, his condition at this time IL
much better than 1t was when he was
taking solid food. HI weight is l43

Reform In Spelling.

Superintendent Andrews, Of the
Chicago public schools, has pat III mo-
tion machinery which he hopes in the
course # time will work great reform
in spelling. He does not think the
change can be wrought in a few
months but trusts that it will gradually
come about. A. starter he has ad-
vsed his teachers to begin the use Of
the twelve words recommended by the
National Educational Association. These
words, with their IN 'dified orth 'graphy,
are as follows:
program, programme.
tho. though.
altho, although
thoro. thorough
ttorofsre, thoroughfare
thru, through.
thruout, throughout
oatalog, catalogue.
prolog, prologue.
decslog, decalogue.
demsgog, demagogue.
pedagog. pedagogue.
Professor Andrews believes that after
the Chicago children have gotten tho
roughly familiar with the phonetic
spelling Of these twelve words they
will have adopted also some Of the
3, 800 reformed words" arranged by
the American Pathological Association
And when that time comes our novels
and literature will look like the print
ed essays Of Mozis Addums or Josh
Billings. and dictionaries will be
practically useless, except for defni'
tiOns.
The complete plan Of the system con-
templates a change in which one word
out Of ever ten in an ordinary compos.
tion will be spelled in a new way.
Here is an illustration Of what we may
see a few years hence:
Tha nativ laft at the fotograf and
