HAS TASTED 2S DAYS
Man Sick With tuberculosis Refuses
tc Eat Until Commanded BY
God.

Chattanooga, Tenn. Tenn, Dec.
A special to the Times from Rome
Ga, says:
Vowing that he will not allow food
to pass his lips until Almighty God
sp eaks to him and commands him
to eat, William Tippen, a confectioner,
and interested in industrial enter,
prises here, has tasted for twenty
eight days.
He has suffered from tuberculosis
for several years, but believes that
through faith and fasting he will be
cured His theory is that food simply
furnishes fuel for the disease. Al
though his wife and friends beg him
to eat, he declares he will not do so
until the voice of God commands
him.
He says he is not hungry, and has
no desire for food, and will await
such time as God sees fit to restore
his appetite.
Tippen Is very weak and unable to
leave his bed, and his death is daily
expected.

making, and the meetings this week
in view of the Trafalgar square and

of public feelings.
The severance Of diplomatic rela
tions between the United States and
Nicaragua the dispatch of additional
war vessels the Nlcaraguan waters
and the start of considerable forces OF
marines for Central America, seems to
indicate further development in that
