EATs NUTS; HAS FINE HEALTH.
Squirrels Fare and Water Year
Around syIvester's Only Diet.

Boston.-George B. Sylvester, of
Roxbury, eats nuts and nothing else
the year round, doesn't drink tea, cof-
fee or stimulants, the only liquid that
Mr.. Sylvester drinks is warm water
that is taken after half of his meal
of nuts is consumed.
Mr.. Sylvester is a bachelor and
lodges at q Montrose street, RoXbury.
He Is 81 years of age, and began to
live on nuts two and half years ago,
finding it cheaper way of living, and
enjoys the best of health since he
stopped eating other food.
Mr.. Sylvester wanted some nutri.
ment to take the place of meat, which
was harmful to him in hot weather
and didn't seem to agree with him in
winter, SO he decided to live on nuts,
finding as much and more nutriment
In them than meat. Peanuts, chest
nuts and all other nuts in their sea
son are eaten by Mr. Sylvester The
only time he breaks his diet is Christ
mas and Thanksgiving.
"Mastication is the most important
thing in living on nuts" said Mr.. Syl
vester to the reporter; If the nuts
are chewed until no taste remains then
swallowed, they are the healthiest
and best thing for a man to live on
They don't make you good looking
as you can see by me, that's why you
can't have my picture, but for man
61 years old I'm as healthy as can be
found in Boston" Judging from Mr.
Sylvesters looks his statement is

SWAMP LANDS ARE VALUABLE.
II Reclaimed by Country, Would Pay
National Debt Twice Over.

Washington.-It is estimated that
there are 100000 acres of swamp
lands in the eastern portion of the
United States that can be reclaimed
and made fit for cultivation by the
building of simple engineering struc.
lures. Collected In one body they
would make an empire as large as
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales
or as large as the New England states
plus New York and half of New Jer-
sey They would make a strip of land
l33 miles wide reaching from New
York to Chicago. Every state in the
union east of line drawn through
North Dakota and Texas has a share
of this unreclaimed region.
The present value of this unre-
claimed swamp land is reckoned by
government experts at eight dollars
an acre, or $616,0O0,000 for the whole.
Estimating the cost of drainage at SIS
an acre, the total cost would be ST.
711,OOO,000. After drainage is COM
pleted the government experts figure
the value of the land would jump al.
most Immediately to $50 an acre,
making the total value of the 77,O0O,.
600 acres when improved $4,620, ,000,-
600, leaving a net increase in value Of
81, $4,000, 900.
If the government should take these
lands from the persons who own them
at the rate of six dollars an acre, i'm
prove them at cost of SIS an acre
and sell them again for $50 an acre
the profit would pay off the national
debt twice over and leave enough to
run the government for year without
the expenditure of cent of the rev.
enue now coming into the treasury.
This balance would also complete the
Panama canal and build the lakes-gulf
waterway down the Mississippi If the
usual revenue were used to pay the
expenses of the government instead.

V. & S. W. Lays of Men

Bristol, Tenn, Jan. 3.-The Vir.
ginia and Southwestern Railway is
following the example of the Norfolk
and Western in point of retrenchment.
Today there was a general cut in the
car shops here, and a large number of
men are idle for the present. The
train crews have been reduced to the
extent of seventeen men, and in every
department there will be a reduction
to comport with the decline in ton
mage dueto the closing of important
operations. The wages of the men at
the iron furnace have been reduced,
and the iron rolling mill is still idle.
The Virginia and Southwestern
railways reduction of force in the
shops today amounted to 45 per cent
of the men, fifty-seven men were drop
ed from the payrolls.

PittSylTania PaYOrS Good Roads.

The movement in the interest of
good roads is being received with
general satisfaction in Pittsylvania
county. The prevailing idea at
present Is to traverse the county
with 4 macadam road east to west.
and north to south. The county is
now spending from SIS, 900 to 90
600 annually on the roads. with
very little permanent result and
this expenditure has been every
year for fifteen years. The hond
issue will be for $4,000 or more
a. 1t will require this amount and
more. The board of commissioners
10 be elected, two from each mag
isterial district, will be required to
employ an expert road builder.
This Is move in the right direc-
tion, and is generally believed that
the election will be carried by a
large majority. y.-Leesburg Mirror.
