FASTING, HE WINS

GENEVA, o., Sept. 27.-Menu:

That was the diet DR.. IL. G.. HUFF

II days and he regained his health
when physicians said he would die.
His first fast-last year was on a
bet with death; his second-this year
amounting to 81 days-was merely TO
fulfill policy he intends to carry out
as long as he lives. This policy is:
Eat nothing one month a year and

ians decreed l had but short time to

ed that since l had to die anyway I'd
do it in the woods loved"

When l felt my kind of hunger I'd
