CURED OF CONSUMPTION
BY VEGETABLE DIET

HAGERSTOWN, Ind, Jan. %
Philip Pipher, aged 70, a farmer,
died of blood poisoning caused by
stumbling his toe. The foot was am
putated a week ago, and death fol

Fifty years ago Philip Pipher was
hopeless consumptive. Himself, his
physician and his friends did not be-
iieye that he could live more than a
few weeks. Everything that medicine
could do had been done, and no ben
eft was to be seen He accidentally
encountered stranger who suggest
ed to him a course of treatment,
which he Immediately adopted. This
treatment was a rigorous abstention
from every article of food usually re-
garded as necessary by the average
man. According to the code he was
not to eat meat of any kind, nor fish
nor fowl nor their products. This
placed eggs and milk on the ban. He
could not partake of white -four in
any form, nor any kind of pastry.

all kinds were eaten in every form
of preparation, and took the place of
meats on his bill of fare. Mr.. Pipher
rigidly practfced dieting and exercise
in the fresh air. He had no precep-
tor in his mode of treatment, as his
adviser had gone to other scenes and
he was often Obliged to adopt meas
ures of his own for treating sudden
indispositions which frequently at
tackled him. He dared not take any
medicine, and for this reason his
case did not come under the ordinary
code. He hit upon the plan of re-
framing from all forms of food until
the trouble passed.
To fast week was so common an
occurrence with Mr.. Pipher as to be
unworthy of note. He has frequently
gone three weeks without a morseI OF

ARE GOING TO PROBE
AMERICAN TOBACCO TRUST

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 23.-Ac-
cording to a member of the Kentucky
Legislature, who Will exercise a wide
influence on the special committee
named to make a thorough investi-
CATION of the tobacco situation in
Kentucky, a spot light will be turned
on the affairs of the American Tobac-
CO company.
THE committee has the power to
send for persons and papers," said
he, and all the officials of the Amer
lean 4 Tobacco company, including
President j. B. Duke and Director
Manager r. K, Smith. will be called
to Frankfort and will be asked some
questions which the people of Ken
lucky have a right TO know and want
to know. The heads of the various
organizations of tobacco growers will
also be asked all about their respec-
tive organizations"
Senator ]. H. Newman, who intro
duced the resolution, is of the opin-
ion that the war between the tobac-
co growers and the so-called trust
cannot be ended until the people of
the state have a thorough knowledge
of the affairs Of both organizations,
lines on which the growers proceed.
Therefore he and other members of
the assembly are advocating publici-
ty. One of the chief desires of a
good many members of the legisla-
ture is to get President Duke on Ken
lucky soil They believe he can be
shown that the contention of the
growers is a fair and just one if he
will but come to Kentucky and take
short-range view of the situation.
However, if Duke should ever put in
his appearance at Frankfort a fight
would be begun at once to get from
him information which the growers
want the world to know, and which,
the chances are. Duke would not be
inclined to give.
While many members of the legis-
lature say information from both
sides will be sought, 1t is known that
Duke is in possession Of most of the
information desired. The question is.
will the president of the American
Tobacco company come to Kentucky,
and If he should come, or be brought,
will he tell anything?
A prominent Kentuckian W h o
knows Duke intimately says that one
of the secrets of his own success and
that of the big corporation of which
he is the matser hand is his ability
to keep his mouth shut and his
knowledge of when it is time to talk
and when not to talk.

To Levi, Martins woodwise helper,
was left the selection of fittings for
the new camp. A couple of husky
Canucks were engaged to bring them
in in a bateau, and then the party
started on its return.
Only one incident of Importance oc-
Cured during the wait at this village

1t was annoying, especially to Angie,
and neither of the two realized how
soon this blunt log-driver's discovery
would reach Tins Place.

He, however, seldom speaking. but
ever acting, kept watch and ward con-

his eyes were alert to catch the first
sight or a down-coming canoe in time

be done. When night camps were
