When the groom returned with the

matters stood for about two minutes,
when the BRIDE said in a very happy
manner:

An Official Statement Issued At

Toxic (SpeciaD The view taken
here of the American-JapGnese situ!
alton, arising from the San Francis

the following official statement which
was issued Tuesday:
Since the talk of war was first
transmitted from America, we have
carefully watched the development of
feeling here. There has not been the
slightest excitement anywhere in the
country" The statement concludes
with these words:
The talk of war is complc -ly ig-
nored here, and implicit confidence
is reposed in President Roosevelt and
his government. The ebullitions of
the anti-Japanese press of America
are powerless to shake Japan's cordi-
ality toward the United States"

LIVES ON AIR AND WATER.
Toledo Physician Has Been Trying
IL 81 Days.

Toledo, o. (SpeciaD - Voluntary
fasting of "a days, in which not a
particle of food and no liquid, except
water, has passed his lips. is the
record Of DR.. J. B. Rullison, of III
Summitt Street, who is so years old
Air and water, he says, are the great
est life-giving agents in nature.
Water has been taken in teaspoonful
quantities every three or five days.
DR.. Rullison began his fast on the
evening OF January 3. Prior to that
date he had subsisted for a long
time on fruit juices alone.
II am only fairly started and un-
der way" said DR.. Rullison on Fri
day, the thirty-fourth day of the fast
Whats the use of eating? What's
the use of breaking this fast, when
happiness, strength, power, harmony
and satisfaction without any mater
fal Inconvenience to the physical body
exist?"
DR.. Rullison explained that once
each year he takes one long fast,
with several short ones, the latter
lasting for seven days.
What do you call a long fast?"
he was asked.
"Well, 60 days is moderate" he
replied.
DR.. Rullison predicts that the time
will come when the stomach will be
retired as a necessity, and we will
live ON air and water.
The life-giving properties in air,
DR.. Rullison maintains, cannot be
appreciated fully as long as the
present method of dress continues
He has discarded all underclothing,
