GOES FOUR YEARS WITH
NOT a DROP OF WATER

The Lord having destroyed
the world once by means OF
water. Charles r. Reickhoff, of
Orange City, Ia, has vowed
never again to let water pass
his lips and has for four years
kept that vow. Neither has he
used liquor of any kind. All
the ~nourishment he has had is
fruit juice and nuts. During
the four years since he began
this method of nourishment he
has eaten not a morsel of cooked
food of any kind. This idea of
abstinence from food is a
health cure of his own inven-
ton.
Mr.. Reickhoff Is a member of
a wealthy family of Orange
City. His father is reported
to be a millionaire, and his
brother, w. f. Reickhoff, Is
owner of the building occupied

at the big lizard, but it eyaded the
stroke by hattening itself on the
ground. The snake drew himself ZIP
again and struck again and missed.
The third time the snake drew back
and struck but the lizard was two
inches to the right. The snake start

the back of the ratuesnake's neck was

thrown violently into the air and as
often it was dragged on the dusty

TO find a hole. But the jaws held
tight, and in I've or three minutes the
snake lay dead ON the ground.
