EAT RICE AND TuRNIPs
Government Chemist Thinks Nation
Uses Too Much Meat


Washington, D. c. March 2e-"Men
should choose their own food" said
DR.. w. H. Wiley Of the bureau of
chemistry today. Lots of people are
vegetarians, and think all of us are
inclined to eat too much meat because
it is the first thing we notice upon
looking at menu card.
I voluntarily cut down my meat
diet to one meal a day, and do not
eat very much then. Few people who
do hard physical work nothing is bet
ter than starch and sugar. The GER
cal eating nations can endure more
hardships than meat eating people.
Japanese, who eat pound of rice
a day can draw you around the town
all day in a cart and never feel it.
You never could do that on a pound
of meat.
"'rhe whole theory of food selection
lies in eating what you need whom
you need it, end not establishing one
menu to be served every day Of your
life. You might eat typhoid germs
one day without contracting the
disease, but if your health is broken
down the system cannot reject them
Every man has pneumonia germs
in his mouth. 1t will not effect the
healthy being, but let him contract a
bad cold, and the germ will find a
lodging place in his lungs"

Unknown Man at Mt. Pleas.
ant Throws His Body in
Front Of Approaching
Fast Mail Train
LEFT NOTE SAYING
WAS NOT MURDERER
Dense Mystery in Death Of
Oscar Nylen-To Com
municate With Swed-
ish Consul

Mt. Pleasant, March 26-(Special.)
Sitting down on the railroad track
in the path of an approaching fast
mail train. Oscar Nylen scratched a
last note on a sheet of paper arose
from the track when the warning whis
tie was sounded, then quickly raised
handkerchief to his eyes to shut out
the sight of theetrain and laid his head
across the rail. Before the train could
be stopped his head had almost been
Z severed from his body. On the note
were the words:
TO the World: I am not guilty of
murder. have never committed any
murder. Save my name
Mystery is Dense.
When the train was backed up and
the body was taken to Mt. Pleasant,
and the clothes searched, the note
written just before the train crushed
out Nylen's life, and other letters in
the same strain found on his person.
added a mystery to the situation that
battles the local authorities. That
Nylen was fugitive from justice
either charged or suspected of muir
3 der, is generally believed. Yet there
is nothing tangible on which to base
this belief. Communication will be
opened with the Swedish consul al
Chicago in the hope that some light
may be thrown on the case, as letters
found on Nylen show him to be ma
tive of Sweden.
Tested Before Death.
Nylen is known to have spent the
night in New London. He left that
place early this morning and started
to walk on the tracks to Mt. Pleasant
When mile east of town he accosted
John Singer. farmer, who, with his
son was blowing in a field near the
railroad tracks and asked when the
next train would go through. 1t was
then about 7:15 and he was told thai
the fast mail was due at 1880 but thai
he could not stop it.
sI'll show you if can't stop it, he
said in jesting tone, and then he
left the farmer and his son and walk
ed short distance up the track. He
wrote his last note, took some letters
from his pocket and read them, and
then when he saw the train approach
ing, bound mis- eyes. and laid his neck
on the rails before the astonished
farmer and the engine crew were able
to prevent the suicide.
His body will be held pending an
investigation, as it is not known
whether he had any relatives.

From Tuesdays Daily.
About the best known and most

other chapter in the legal history Of
Dove" was closed yesterday in the
district court.
Dove is a mare who once belonged
to two men, S. Wright and S. l.. Scott:
LATE Dudgeon owned a sorrel horse
which he traded to the two men for
the mare. Later the men sold the
horse for $110. 81,
Dudgeon found, so he claimed, that
he had been bested in the horse trade.
and claiming that the mare Dove.
was an aged animal, being some TWEEN.
ty odd years of age, he asked to have
the contract rescinded, preferred the
mare to the original owners, and ask,
ed for the return of his horse.
. The first case in the district court
was tried over year ago. The jury
gave Dudgeon a verdict for 1925.
Scott and Wright paid the verdict
and then asked for the mare. Dudgeoll
it is said, refused to give up the mare.
claiming that the Judgment given him
represented only the difference oes
tween the value of his horse and
Dove"
Scott and Wright then brought a
replevin action securing Dove" whom
they later sold for $s5. On the hear.
ing of the replevin action in the jus.
tice courts a decision in Dudgeons
