HERMIT'S FARE COSTS LITTLE
Reputed "HoIy Man" of Japan SUD-
sists on Laurel Leaves and Few
Raw Potatoes Daily.

A hermit who has set up his private
shrine by the wayside calls hlmseil
the incarnation of Fudosama, the god
of fire. This mysterious man makes
his abode in a little coop near the
botanical gardens, paying q monthly
rental of 1925. On the plaster just
below the paper window is written:
1.-THE worshiping place of the wood
eating hermit"
Day and night one can see the flare
of fire on the paper window and low
voice can be heard, says the East and
West News. Every passer feels a
queer sensation as he goes by. The
visitor knocked at the dismal-looking
entrance. The one who came to an
swer was the mysterious man. He
looked to be about fifty-five and in his
brawny and reflective features he
showed a magnetic smile.
1t seems he began his pious life by
scorching his body with a lighted
candle to save the life Of his SICK
child. He tasted 81 days and prac'
ticed water meditation. The child re-
covered. His faith grew stronger. Fol
80 years past he has touched no rice
or other cereal. Before the visitor nc
chewed some laurel leaves. Fifty OF
these, five raw potatoes, q little sail
and water, were his daily fare. He is
said to effect miraculous cures.

Saved DAYLIGHT" 40 Years.

Monson, in Maine, wonders why
there is so much ado about the day
light saving plan. According to the
Youths Companion, about 40 years ago
someone In the town suggested that 1t
would be good thing for the work
ers in the slate Quarries to gain an
hour of daylight by going to work an
hour earlier in the morning and stop
ping work an hour earlier at night.
The town adopted the suggestion, but
instead of changing the working hours
it set the clocks ahead. Through all
the years since then the clocks Of
Monson have been an hour ahead OF
the clocks in other Maine towns.

IRON POSTS SUPPORT WIRE
German Idea That Makes Their
Trenches Only Little Way From
Being Impregnable.

In the Atlantic Monthly Mr.. Edward
Morlae describes a very clever i'm
provement the Germans have made in
their barbed-wire defenses. The,
wires are usually fastened to wooden
posts, of course, but the Germans have
found a better support for them. He
writes:
"After we had taken the German
trench, our men set to work to remodel
it, shifting the parapet to the other
side, building little outpost trenches
and setting barbed wire. The latter
job was done in a wonderfully short
time, thanks to German thOrOughnesS.
For the wooden stakes to which the
wire is tied they had substituted soft
iron rods, three-Quarters of an inch
thick, twisted five times in the shape
of great corkscrew. This screw twist
ed into the ground exactly like cork
puller into a cork. The straight part
of the rod, being twisted upon itself
down and up again every ten inches,
formed six or seven small loops in q
height of about five feet. Into these
eyes the barbed wire was laid and
solidly secured with short lengths of
tying wire.
First cutting the tying wire, we lift
ed the barbed wire out of the eyes,
showed a small stick through one, and,
turning the rod with the leverage of
the stick, unscrewed it out of the
ground, and then, reversing the proc
ess, screwed it in again. The advan-
tage of this rod Is obvious. When q
shell falls in the midst of this wire
protection, the rods are bent and twist
ed, but unless broken off short they
always support the wire, and even
after a severe bombardment present q
! serious obstacle to the assaulters. In
such case wooden posts are blown to
smithereens by the shells, and when
broken off they let the wire fall fiat
to the ground"

WORD ABOUT CHEWING GUM
1t AIIeviates the Pangs of Hunger and
Makes Cut in the
Board Bill.

The question, "Why is chewing
gum?" has at last been answered.
Chewing gum, according to DR.. Anton
Carlson, associate professor of physi-
oIogy at the University of Chicago, re-
duces the board bill.
Doctor Carlson tells of hundreds OF
experiments on humans, dogs, guinea
pigs and rabbits, proving that hunger
pangs diminish with use of chewing
gum, chewing tobacco, cigars and
cigarettes. The direct result of gnaw-
ing at a piece of gum is the. stimula-
ton of nerves in the mouth. This SEN
satiOn causes a decrease in stomach
contractions, thus assuaging the sharp
est appetite.
Professor Carlson found whisky or
other strong alcoholic beverages intro
duced into the empty stomach of dogs
in sufficient amount will abolish the
hunger contractions Of the stomach for
SO hours.
Doctor Carlson advocates Semian-
nual period Of starvation as means
of lengthening the span of life and obs
tanning greater enjoyment from liv-
ing.
There is no pain or suffering In
yolved in starvation" he says. Dur
ing the entire period of abstinence
from food during my experiments the
hunger sensation was strong enough to
cause some discomfort, but not to a
degree that could be called pain. This
discomfort was at no time sufficient to
interfere seriously with work"

The Stream
OF Power

Copyright. 1916. by w. G. Chapman.)
Max BuIger was known to the well
advised in metropolitan business cir
cles as "a shark" He had capital COM
ing, going, doubling, trebling, and called
it "the stream of power" Within it's
depths he lurked, ready to pounce on
any unwary victim who trusted to it's
treacherous course. Into the stream
he lured fair but unsuspecting craft
and generally scuttled them.
His only living relative seemed to
be Bliss Porter, just out of college and
headed for legal career. The young
man had barely heard of this sOrdid
half-uncle until he was amazed, in
another city, struggling along indiffer-
emily, to receive check for five hun
dred dollars from his relative, crisply
ordering him to close up his affairs and
come to Chicago.
II am going to leave my fortune to
you," was the blunt startling an
nouncement of old Max, provided you
learn my business and carry 1t on
where leave it off,"
This seemed promising, but, at the
end of a week, after his esteemed
relative had shown him "the ropes"
Bliss Porter was disguised. The
precious ways Of the shark, the tricks,
the traps, the preversions amazed and
then shocked him. He saw deluded
business men in need Of money place
themselves totally In the power of a
heartless, devouring monster. He
saw a family disrupted through the
harsh measures employed in collect
Ing an overdue obligation. Max Bull
ger cared only for his pound of flesh.
1t mattered little to him that his ex-
acting extortions were at the cost of
all his victim possessed.

wouldn't adopt his business methods
