THE REAL SIMPLE LIFE
Two Men Curing Themselves Of Con-
sumption.

Banning, Calm the heart of the
Colorado desert, SO miles from civiliza-
ton, two men are leading the simple
life in an attempt to conquer tubercu-
losis. They are George Wallace, a
rancher Of Redlands, and DR.. Gordon
Lewis, London dentist. At last re-
ports they were gaining strength and
were confident they would get well.
Bearded like patriarchs, their hair
grown foot long and their bodies
burned brown by the sun, the two are
living thoroughly primitive exist
ence. They have no shelter and wear
no clothes whatever. Their food is
chiefly game killed in the desert. stew
made of desert herbs, goats milk and
occasionally nuts obtained from a, ma
tional forest some miles away.
Both are determined to remain in
the desert until completely cured.
