Fownes, jr., Oakmont, and a battle
royal was anticipated as this pair

FINDS ELIXIR OF LIFE.
Scientist Is Willing to Take His Own
Medicine, He Says.

South Norwalk, Conn.,, Sept. S.-Thad-

has spent nearly his entire life in an
effort to discover an elixir that will re-

So confident is Tietze that he asserts
he is willing to give himself to any
death save one that removes a part or

away the flesh. The mere removal of
the blood from the body until respira-

like means of ending life have no ter
rors for him, yet he has not been abba
to find subject willing to submit him.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Yhe low, blocky sheep with just leg

that the fine wooded sheep naturally
