NEAR TO NATURE FADDlSTS

The latest fad is going naked. It
is said to be a sure cure for all sorts
OF aches and pains from locomotor
ataxia to housemaid knee.
But do not be misled and run your
self into trouble with the local auth
critics. The fad has not yet struck
Winnemucca. although it is doubtless
on the way for this town is nothing II
rot metropolitan.
The nude fadists have their park
for their fad. and it is not yet con-
sidered the proper thing to extend
the fad plaet.ce to urban life.
A modern Arcadia is established
even now, however, at Milton, n. J..
There tAe co.onisJs go about all the
day clothed as when they came into
ttis world, disdaining even the an
cient fg leaf ana the modern smile.
Ia order that there may be no possible
scandal there Is a separate park for
the men ard q separte one for tae
women for, Of curse, the FAD has It's
followers among botn sexes, and the
only communication between the two
parks by telephone. Up to date there
Las seemed TO be little probability that
the modern Dlanas would have to
punish any modern Actaeons.
The fadists at Milton live as near
to nature as possible. They go about
without clothes, wash in brooks and
pools, eat only fruit and uncooked
vegetables, s-eep IN the open Il are
neaI-t0-DatuIe mea and women al,

The sensation Of sitting down at
the MIDDAY meal with all the other
diners wearing less than did Adam
ana Eve the Gay AFTER the temptation
is SAID to be an Qua Il and 10 make
the visitor quite embarrassed at hav-
ing so many clothes Oh. There is a
yearning tendency TO dIsrobe and be
Ia the other noble Romans.

in a running brook or deep pool, in

thus: After the bath patients wa-A
around until they are aIy. We never
use soap. II MANURE had i4tenueQ
that We should use soap she woulG
have prOVlued 1t. There is 40 morn
ing Leal. Inc nTst n IS the meal at
noon. Some of the men receive clay
packs. The moist clay is put on the
parts OF the body which are diseased.
Then the patient lies down in the
graves Tor a couple Of hours, a tAin
covering OF earth over them. About II
cock they get up Il go down 70
the river and wash all the clay. Then
tLey are ready for dinner. About 3
Q clock those patients who require il
receive clay packs again and lie down
in the graves for an hour or two.
Supper is al 8 O'Clock. Then games
are played until bed time. Most Of
the patients sleep out of doors on the
grass with a blanket over them. The
sleep you get out Of doors is diff
ferent from the sleep you get in bed.
That is a dead sleep. Out Of doors,
wien one wakes, Il is wide awake
all at once. When it rains in the
course Of the night you can see every
Il taking Up MS Bed aAd making
bee line Tor his tent. We believe in get
ting as near to nature as we can. Nuts
arc not indigestible when eaten raw.
We have no cooked food except bread.
Animals live on this food and are
rarely sick. There is no other kind
here. The only use we have for a fire
is to heat water for washing the
dishes and for heating the building.
L. solves lots Of problems. There is
no bother about The menu. Whenever
you come home ycur meal is ready for
you. It's no trouble to get it, and yolI
don't need servants"
Which is quite a blessing.
