Wearing Of Belts to
Cut Cost of Living
Custom Of Tramps Of Tightening
eirths When Hungry Leads to
Theory Of Scientist.

CHICAGO, July 5.-If everyone
wears a belt. will it reduce the high
cost Of living?
According to one of the latest sci
entific theories advanced by an emil
nent specialist, this is exactly what
a belt will do-not by a direct reduc-
ton of the cost Of foodstuffs, but by
a reduction of the human craving for
food.
No less an authority than DR.. Ran
dolph Lennhoff. according to reports
made to The Vossische Zeitung, has
discovered that the wearing Of belt
reduces the human appetite for food.
According to the report Of DIR.
Lennhoff, his investigations were
based on his knowledge OF the
knights OF trampeom," who, when
hungry and far frvm food, tighten
their belts to allay the inner craving.
