MONTHS IN PRISON
''HAPP|EST OF LIFE"
Also Most Useful, Says Ex-Con-
ViCt, a California Millionaire.

Atlanta, Ga. When Frederick A.
Hyde. siXty-seven years old, million
aire land dealer and former president
Of the board of education of San Fran
cisco, left the federal penitentiary
here, after serving sixteen months, his
first statement was that those months
had been the most useful of his whole
life. He added that he would return
to his home in California where his
wife, daughter and three sons are wait
ing for him, not afraid to look any man
in the face.
"Not only have these sixteen months
been the most useful in my career"
said Hyde when interviewed in his
apartments at the Piedmont hotel, "but
this period has been the happiest of
my life, and l have derived more good
from my work at the prison than at
any other time
Hyde was imprisoned in December.
1913, after one of the most sensational
court battles in the history of the coun-
try. He was sentenced to serve two
years for alleged conspiracy in land
frauds, but the sentence was commu-
ted by President Wilson.
At the penitentiary Hyde was known
among his fellow prisoners as the AN

better the conditions of the other pris-
olerS, especially those who were poor.
He was assigned to the prison news
paper, Good Works. and in the per

lie laid out plans for complete ath-
letic field which, with money furnish
ed by himself. was constructed by
Hyde and his fellow prisoners.
Hyde's greatest work in the prison
was with the unfortunate men who
finished their terms but looked upon
| freedom with no pleasure because they
were without friends or money to
make new start in life. TO hun
dreds of these Hyde gave encoura ge-
ment and money, in many cases fur
nished them with sufficient funds TO
re-establish themselves in business.
One of Hydes philanthDpies in the
prison was the establishment of H.

PATIENT TASTED TWO MONTHS
And ButtermiIk "Did Taste Good at
the End"

Warsaw, 1nd.-After establishing a
record for continuous fasting Jim Rob
lnson asked for glass of buttermilll
and as he slowly swallowed it admit
ted that it tasted good This was the
first nourishment taken by Robinson
who is an inmate of the county infirm-
airy, for eight weeks.
Lis long fast was due to lack of ap-
petlte and the fact that the taste and
smell of food nauseated him.
Physicians here declare his case has
no parallel in medical history. Fifty
five days was held to be the limit Of
mans endurance, yet Robinson passed
that mark by more than day and is
still alive.
During that period he lost nearly
hundred pounds. Except for being
weakened, his general physical condi-
don was not affected.
