NORFOLK, Va, May 2s.-Norfolk has
a citizen whose food costs him but $l.55

He is s. B. Wright. Hear his own testi-
mony:
During the past month have lived

lyt lght and never felt better in my life
Tha only food l have eaten during the
menth Eas been eleven pounds OF nuts

peanuts (roasted), and one pound OF
raisins. Some of this I shared with
friends. This has been an experiment
with me. as have read much about
nuts as a diet and resolved 10 try them
II am more amazed than ! can tell you
at the results OF the past month. have
always been rather skeptical about veg
etarianism and have been a hearty eater
Of meats OF all kinds, but my experience
has convinced me that We eat lot more
than we need. and that is harmful rather
than beneficial.

man could I'LL a knapsack with nuts and

10. and two or three months will be re-
quired 10 complete the work.
Recently. when the War Department
contracted with the Atlantic. Gulf and

channel. steamboat owners entered a
complaint that they feared the work
would greatly handicap the movement
Of ships TO and from the Seventh street

dredge be used and this viii be so oper-
ated as to block the channel as little
as possible. particularly during such
hours Of the day as the most ships are
entering or leaving their docks.
