FOUND STARVING
In HIS BOOK SHOP
Aged Dealer Clings to His Vol
umes Until Dying from
Hunger.

Robert Boggs. ar aged Quaker book
seller whose shop ia at 1857 Fulton
Street, Brooklyn, is dying in Bushwick
Hospital because the income from mis-
business could not even provide him
with enough food.
His neighbors found him yesterday
morning lying on couch in his musty
stall, unconscious. When Ambulance
Surgeon Stahl arrived he said that
BoZgs. who is seventy-fve years old,
was dying from starvation.
Dr. Stahl, when the man had been
revived asked him ii ne wanted to be
taken 20 an institution. NO. Mo-"
he said "a am too old; | don't want to
cause anyone trouble. want to die
quietly among my books"
Because Of his kindness TO the chill
dren Of the neighborhood. TO whom he
related tales OF battle and fairy lore,
mothers frequently sent him culinary
delicaces. But even with these atten-
tions. his scsnt fare gradually got the
better OF his physique, aided by SEN
ility.
Friends offered to buy his store and
place him in a retreat for the aged.
But he always refused, saying that he
would soon die and be out of the way:
but it was really because he could not
bear TO leave his precious volumes.
Just little vacation. Boggs.' his
neighbors told him. in urging him to
20 TO the hospital. You'll be there
only a week and when you get back
your strength you will be back" Still
he demurred.
Boggs in his early days was a school
teacher. He was proficient in seven
languages besides his native tongue
These he learned after the death Of
his wife and children years ago.
IL was Robert Louis Stevenson who
said that he would consider that no
had not lived in vain If he could find
one man or woman. Young or old. who
would rather read his works than par
take of a feast. Emaciated and worn.
yet with eyes glowing as he spoke Of
books, Boggs showed that he was such
man.

SAFE THANKSGIVING
DINNERS ASSURED
Health Board, After Hunting for
Impure Food, Expects an
Easy DAY After"

There isn't a single reason why New
Workers shouldn't ENJOY a safe and
sane Thanksgiving. The right kind %
fodder is here and prices are tolar-
ably low-the Board Of Health has in
vestgated and finds it's so. The rest
is up to you gentle epicure. But bear
this in mind:
Don't eat too much Don't drink
too much"
This is the warning 10 New York
from DR.. Lucius p. Brown. director Of
the Bureau Of Food and Drugs OF the
Health Department, after days of In
specting of the city's food marts. He
looked up every item that will occupy
a consp cuous place in the menu OF
Thanksgiving Day, not stopping until
ne had sampled even the various
brands Of dyspepsia tablets that in
evitably will be consumed by those who
have eaten not wisely but too well.
Here is what DR.. Brown found on
his tour about the town;
Turkeys plentiful and IN good con-
dition cold storage birds going for
20 and rs cents; fresh killed and
native. 80 to SO cents.
Cranberries excellent, 8 cents a
quart, very cheap.
from typhoid germs practically elm
mated.
Ducks and geese, very good and fair
~ plentiful, 1S to 20 cents.
Roast pig comparatively cheap. ~
to % cents.
Dry picked chickens cheap for the
season. 26 to % cents.
Rabbits scarce and very high.
Celery good, 10 cents bunch.
Mincemeat running fine and free
from fermentation.
Pumpkins very scarce.
For the rest, everything that comes
from abroad. like figs, dates, French
and Italian chestnuts, are poor. due %
the curtailed supply caused by the war.
Beware of all jelly except the better
brands. Glucose and phosphorus Turk
therein. Gelatine powder is better.
says Dr.. Brown, unless YOU can afford
TO pay the best prices for Jelly Cali
fornia raisins are good and, generallY
speaking. so is cider. Beware OF the
cheap brands. they contain benZoate
of soda. Dr. Brown also warns against
all sorts and kinds OF hard cider.
Something worse than benzoate OF soda
turks therein.
The dyspepsia tablets are dncom-
monty fresh and pure, according TO Dr.
Brown.

There will be strong opposition de-
veloped TO any such proposition. 1t has
been said that the Boy Scouts as an or

is where they stand-whether 1t IS real
