Hit by SeabOard Train.

The Savannah News of Sunday
gives the following account OF the ac-
cident to J. l.. Harrison, Of Atlanta:
Sitting on a tie alongside the Sea-
board track near Scotia, S. c., forty
miles north of Savannah, ]. L. Har-
rison was struck by southbound
fast train yesterday morning and sus-
tanned serious injuries.
"The train was stopped and the
man picked up and brought to Sa-
vannah, where he was taken to the
Park View Sanitarium. 1t was found
that he had been hurt about the head
and body by the torce OF the blow
from the engine, but his injuries are
not considered dangerous. Up to a
late hoaf she had not regained con-
sciousness. From letters found on
him it is thought that his home is in
Atlanta, where he has a wife.
Engineer T. B. Cleary, OF the FAST
train stated that he did not see the
man until nearly on him, as he was
sitting beside the track with his head
on his knees, apparently fast asleep.
The engineer was not aware that the
object was human being until with
in, a few feet of the man.

Making a Rare Lettuce,

Mrs. Francis G. Newlands, niece Of
Ward McAllister and wife Of the Ne
vada senator, has succeeded in grow
ing rare lettuce In the garden Of her
country home near Washington. The
lettuce is very bitter, and as a salad it
is delicacy to the cultivated taste.
Mrs. Newlands imported the seed
from Italy, and she is one Of the first
to grow this variety in America. The
Newlands occupy the estate which
formerly was the home Of John R.
Mclean and later was owned by Ad-
miral Dewey. Mrs. Newlands person
ally directs all work in the extensive
garden. Here she grows large vari-
ETY. Of herbs. She has cut the garden
in two with low wall Of loose stones,
which now is covered with vines Of
wild roses, honeysuckle and ivy.

Remarkable Claims Made
by Horace Fletcher, the
World Famed Authority on
Foods and Feeding and Ex-
ponent Of Eating Rightly.
BY FREDERICK r. TOOr1BS.
"If all persons SO lived as to have
normal disestions, crime would prac-
ticaIly be eliminated"

~ UGH was the astounding state
ment Of Horace Fletcher, the
~ world famed authority on foods
and feeding, made to the writer
in his last interview given before his
departure for Europe. The originator
OF the system, revolutionary in the
world of matters dietetic, known as
.fetcherism or fetcherizing, does not
consider his claim as to the elimina-
ton Of crime to be at all sensational.
He is habitually and enthusiastically
retiring and conservative in his words
and thoughts. AS a patient disciple of
moderation and founder of the new re-
ligion of dietary Righteousness" Hor.
ace Fletcher offers logical arguments
and cold facts to substantiate his
statement.
I talked with him for several hours
in his sitting room in the Phipps model
tenement No. 1, in New York's tragic
east side, where this kindly souled,
gray haired humanitarian has chosen
to dwell in preference to his costly
marble palace, Palazzo Saibante, on
the Grand canal, in Venice, a palace
800 years old.
'"The effect of a nations food on a
nations minds,' said Mr.. Fletcher, lis
too easily ascertainable to be under
estimated. While I have never made a
point Of naming arbitrarily what per-
son should or should not eat, I have
spoken and written as to how and
when and how much to eat. Persons
who overeat in their consumption of
meats become mentally different from
those who eat normally or who depend
chiefly or wholly on vegetable forms of
diet. Large, abnormal quantities of
meat as diet are for savagery. They

Booze In the Form of Beef.
The poisoning Of mind and body,
hence the intoxication resulting from
overindulgence in meats, is very sim
liar in the last analysis to that occa-
stoned by alcoholism. It is what Mr..
Fletcher describes as taking booze in
the form of beef"
According to his philosophy, there is
as much evil in 'food drunkenness"
as there is in alcohol drunkenness.
For instance, he states that "the body
throws off the effects of alcohol drunk
enness much easier and more quickly
than those of food drunkenness, and
In the latter form Of intoxication the
dangers from uric acid are probably
greater than in the former"
But the reader should not assume
from the foregoing that the great au-
thor of ''The A B z Of Our Own NJ
triton and '"The New Glutton or Epi-
cure" etc., is an exponent Of vegeta-
rianism. II do not subscribe to the
many isms," he smilingly told the
writer. But he is an opponent of all
1mmoderation; whether the food be
the best or the most injudicious in the
! world. He subscribes to the following
catholic doctrine:
1t isn't what one eats; it's how one eats
There is not a thing which cannot be
eaten If it is eaten rightly.
There should be no restriction on the
eating whatsoever. This is not fad at
all. simply believe in following what
| nature indicates. If nature gives US
grinding teeth they are to grind with.
When I am hungry know that nature
Is telling me to eat. When am thirsty
I drink. When one is sleepy the logical
thing is to go to sleep.
There is no slavery like the slavery of
habit. The thing is to strive to follow
nature as closely as may be and you
can't go wrong. Eat only when you are
really hungry with natural, not forced
or stimulated, hunger. And If you crave

rightly.
Eating rightly is to cease eating when the
appetite ceases to call for food; to masti-
cate thoroughly chewing the food scores

UNFAIRLY; to get all the taste out of Hq-
uid food; to stop eating the minute the
saliva stops flowing freely, resting your
appetite before it gets tired; to eat only
when you are cheerful, for you won't di-
gest enough to make it worth while
Don't eat when you are sad or when
you are mad, but only when you are
glad you are alive. And that is all of
fietcherizing
"Cure Intemperance by Drinking"
Mr.. Fletcher makes another startling
assertion-one that has a well defined
relation, moreover, to the influence Of
diet in crime. He says:
"Whisky can be taken in seemingly
harmless form and in such a manner
as to cure the craving for drinking in
excess, thus promoting temperance"
The food scientist relies on the ef-
fects of holding the fluid in the mouth
to thoroughly insalivate it, so that the
muscles governing the swallowing i'm
pulse will sooner or later send it down
the throat automatically or involun-
tarily.
1T will be difficult without actual
demonstration, says Mr.. Fletcher, 'to
convince the advocates Of total absti-
hence that any whisky can be taken in
a seemingly harmless form, but it is
true that thorough insalivation Of beer,
wine and spirits until disappearance by
involuntary swallowing robs them Of
their power to intoxicate, partly be-
cause appetite will tolerate but lit
tie.
"As a matter of fact, whisky taken in
breaking up desire for it, and it is an
excellent protection in drinking as well
as eating. Many Of our test subjects
have been steady and some have been
heavy drinkers, but persistent atten-
ton has cured all Of them Of any de-
sire for alcohol, and in time it surely
leads to complete intolerance Of it.
1T is also true that, taken in the
way suggested, the body refuses to
tolerate more than sips and thimble-
fuls Of these liquids and then only on
rare occasions, so that the epicurean
habit is the best possible insurance Of
temperance"
To insufficient mastication and disre-
gard Of the teachings and warnings Of
! s'petite Mr.. Fletcher attributes most

and so lead to a state in which crime
is more readily committed.
1.-THE respective careers of the Indian
tribes of the Pueblos and the Apaches
afford an Illuminating comparison The
Apaches were notorious as devastators,
Warlike ravagers, merciless slayers.
rVhey were most ravenous eaters of
meat.
'The Pueblos were home builders,
dwell in established villages. They
worked industriously. They titled the
soil, a peaceful agricultural people,
and their tribe exists today in mate
rial numbers. The Pueblos have al
ways been moderate in their eating.
Consuming very little meat, they have
subsisted for generations on different
kinds Of grains and other vegetable
products.
I'm Japan during the Tokogawar pc
Rod Of about 800 years the simplicity
of the diet and life of the nation
found marked reflection in the GRIM
inal records Of the country. The mod
crate diet, consisting chiefly of rice,
fish and fowl, was responsible for the
practical elimination of crime as a Sc
r1ous factor in the economics of the
country, as witness that in one year
in a total population of 100000
people only 5000 cases Of criminal &C.
tivity were brought before the au-
thorities''
Those 5000 cases were principally
Of the minor class of crimes, known as
misdemeanors.
Overeating Lowers Morality.
Mr.. Fletcher went on to state that
nations and tribes that indulge i'm
moderately in foods and gorge them
selves with meats produce the largest
number Of criminals compared to to-
tal population and exhibit a lower
degree Of morality generally. Their
death rate, moreover, is proportionate-
ay:$larger than that Of other countries,
and 1ntemperance Of varying sorts is
shown to Increase. His arguments dc
not necessarily demonstrate, nor does
he so claim, that all crime produced
by improper diet proceeds directly
from the blight Of overeating or that
of eating inian Improper manner. In
many cases there may be an interme.
:diate stages produced from which. il
turn, actual crime may. result. 70,
instance, intemperance assto alcoholics
may result from efforts to overcome
the effects Of improper amount Of q,

Ten Benefits Obtained.

Demonstrations at other institutions
in England, Belgium, Italy and Amer
lea have shown conclusively that Mr.
Fletcher's teachings produce unmis-
takably the following results:
First.-Reducing half of the former cost
of nourishment.
second.-An increase of SO per cent to
2O0 per cent in physical endurance
Third. - Immunity from sickness and
that tired feeling"
Fourth.-Suppression of craving for al
coholic stimulants.
Fifth.-Suppression Of morbid desires.
Standardization of nerve soundness
Seventh.-Elimination of various poi
sons from the body, natural purity
Eighth. - Progressive recuperation of
muscular and mental tone in those al
ready past middle life who had begun to
decline, renewing youth and memory.
Ninth.-Renewal Of native assurance,
confidence and ambition.
Tenth.-Optimism and happiness instead
of pess1mism and unhappiness
A Gentleman Of the Worlds School.
Theodore Roosevelt has said that
'our greatest national physical asset
Is our national health" No man is do
ing as much to put American health
and happiness bonds above par as the
discoverer of fletcherizing man
who persistently refuses to consider
financial return for himself to be i'm
portant. Quite remarkable, quite I'M
believable, one might say, for re-
former to be 1aboring purely for re-
form and not with motives of gain.
Yes, quite remarkable until one meets
this unassuming gentleman of the
worlds school, who has lived without
losing his ideals, who uses his wealth
and talents and time to uplift not only
the poor, but the rich as WE'LL and
whose one weakness is kind heart.
The personality Of Horace Fletcher
is a greater force than any Of his
teachings, any or all Of his books or
his theories, for all Of these are but
outer manifestations of his personality
and character. They are but frag-
mentary testimonies of the spirit
which actuates him in dwelling in the
diminutive rooms Of the Phipps tene-
ment, giving free instruction in living,
with lessons in hope, to the stricken
poor, while his silk cushioned Condo
las swing idly in the tide at their
mornings beneath the marble balconies
of the Palazzo Saibante, on the Grand
canal.

Saving Millions For the Public
The tremendous campaign Mr..
Fletcher is waging against interna
tional dietetic profigacy has a vital
economic side. Under his system the
amount eaten by the individual is so
much less in amount and cost and the
increase of the efficiency of the indi-
v1dual Is so markedly increased that
all classes of persons can add to their
usefulness while reducing the cost Of
living. Owing to the thousands of ner-
sons following the teachings of ssthe
man of many chews" today it is esti-
mated by recognized statistician that
Mr.. Fletcher, in enabling them to cut
down their food bills 40 to 60 per cent.
has brought about saving of over
$2O,OO0,0OO year in the United States
alone. And his propaganda has spread
wider proportionately in foreign coun-
tries than in America because of his
long residence in Italy.
Another competent statistician is
authority for the statement that more
than 100000 families are saving from
dollar day upward as the result of
the practice Of Mr.. Fletcher's TEACHINGS.
This estimate was made more than a
year ago, and the number is increas.
ing in geometric ratio.
Students of political economy are
amazed at the possibilities of fetch
erizing as contributor to the ma
TONS good. When nine Yale univer-
sity students, Messrs. Bauer, Edwards,
Lagerquist, Lawton, Mike, Parmelee,
Reeds, Taylor and Weyman, were
formed into an eating club to test Mr..
Fletcher's claims that he could in
crease their physical endurance
through proper masticat1on, many pro-
fessors scoffed. Yet at the end of the
test period Irving Fisher, Phi. D., pro-
fessor of political economy at Yale,
wrote a voluminous report, in which
he said, "Our conclusion in brief is
that Mr.. Fletcher's claims are justi-
fed"

PUZZLE; WHO
CAUGHT SCHULzE'S
l7-POUND FISH
Irvington Cop Says He Did, but
His Friend Schweitzer
Thinks Otherwise.

Patrolman Charles Schulze, of the
Irvington police department, had his
regular day off yesterday and went on
the first of the seasons outings of the
City Line Fishing Club. the members
and guests of which, eighty-fve strong,
j~ourneyed in the tug Nonpareil to the
fishing banks. On his return Schulze
presented Councilman Henry O. Os-
borne. chairman of the police commit
lee, with a 17-pound Goldfish, which he
said he had caught. Shortly afterward
Zoe ~Schweitzer, of Avon avenue Irv-
ington, appeared with a tale of woe to
the effect that, while suffering from an
attack of sea-siekness on the Nonpa-
reil. some vandal had stolen a ~1l-pound
corfish which he he'd caught, The
news Of this eonfiscation spread like a
fire alarm through the town, and when
it reached the ears of the councilman
he took the Goldfish to the police sta
ton, where it was locked up over night,
Schweitzer declared he caught the
fish, and Schulze is equally emphatic
in his declaration that he caught 1t
while Schweitzer was asleep. Chief of
Police Alexander Green is perplexed as
to how to dispose of the 'hshy pris-
oner." but it is believed hat Recorder
Turton will be asked to act as a Solo
mon in liberating it and restoring 1t to
the rightful owner.
