Travelling Road to Youth

pEKrNe, China, May 1O-wu Ting
Fang, venerable Chinese statesman,
former ambassador TO the United
States and now Minister Of Foreign
Affairs at peking, believes he IS travel.
Ing the road to perpetual youth.
Strict rules Of hygiene and a vege.
tartan diet, he declares, have enable
him to walk like o young man and
are turning his grazing hair black
again.
So successful were his experimental.
tons that Minister WI organized q
health society at Shanghai for the pur.
pose Of spreading his propaganda Of
bodily improvement and preservation.
A restaurant was established with a
menu developed solely with the idea
increasing many longevity.
Now that the world meat supply
Is running short on account OF wars
deYastations. WI believes the ideas
set forth by his health society are
more important than ever to humanity,
The necessity for meat has been e'mi'
mated by his dietary formula.
In answer to a multitude Of ques sions
from his amazed friends regarding his
plan for lengthening ones life span,
WI wrote dissertation in Chinese,
explaining fully his methods.
His brief, translated into English,
follows in part.

it was through him that the congress
ional appeal which proved so effective
was made. Hogue claims that the
killing was accidental, that he had nc
gun himself, but in the fight he had
with the inspector the latter's gun
was discharged in a manner unknown
to him, and the bullet entered the body
of the inspector.
Hogue undoubtedly owes the commu
tation of his life to the argument made
by each Of the West Virginia con
gressmen, which was that hanging him
at this time might be used in West
Virginia to stir up feeling against
Great Britain and interfere with enlist
