TAKES DAILY AIR BATH.
DoIand Man Has Great Faith in Pure

Doland, S. D., Feb. 16.-Richard Eau
sci, proprietor of a restaurant at this
place, is firm believer in the efficacy
of pure air as health preserver. He
thinks most of the ills Of mankind and
womanllind are due to the wearing Of
an unnecessary amount of clothing.
Fausel, to prove his theory. has not
worn underclothing, either winter or
summer, during the past two years.
Neither does he wear stockings, the
only protection to his feet being san
dalS or mOccaSions.
He states that he does not feel the eff
fects of cold weather and that his gem
eral health is much better than it was
when he dressed like ordinary mortals
do.
Fausel, in addition to wearing less
clothing than other persons. daily takes
exercise in the open air in nude con-,
dition. In a secluded spot on the roof
of business house he daily goes
through his exercise.
Even the. recent 40 degrees below zero
weather did not discourage him or pre-
vent him taking his daily exercise, and
! apparently he suffered no i'll effects
/ from his appearance in the chilling
blasts without a shred OF clothing.
