DAY LABORER
AGED RECLUSE LEAVES THOU
SANDS OF DOLLARS.

~Iroquois, May 15.-Henry Nieman,
a resident of Iroquois and vicinity for
35 years, is dead at the age of &c
years, after an illness of eight
months.
The dead man was born in Ger
many. When a lad, his parents emil
grated to the United States, but left
Henry behind, bound out to an uncle.
A few years later, however, the boy
managed to get away to America, but
he did not get along with his father,
and came west, finally, in 1888, COM
ing to Iroquois and taking a home
stead near town. He never married,
and never received any visits from
relatives, and lived very much to
himself.
A few years after taking the home
stead, during a time of extreme fl
nancial depression, he sold the farm
for less than $1,000 and came to Iro-
quois to live. During the following
80 years, until his fatal illness, he
earned a living by manual labor, TAX
ing any Job That offered.
He wore the cheapest of clothing
and spent but little money except
that required for food and lodging,
and put every surplus cent he earned
in certificates of deposit or some
form of interest bearing investment
and at the time of his death this
common day laborer was worth many
thousands of dollars, just how much
will not be known until a will which
he left has been read.
When he became belfast, he wa
cared for by Mrs. Il. A. Emmelius
who gave him every care that a near
relative might have done, and he wa
given a comfortable home for thu
first time during the 35 years he ha
lived in South Dakota. He has tire
sisters living in Cincinnati and on
in Indiana, and last September
brother-in-law and the latter's son
in-law came from Cincinnati to Sc
him. and Iroquois people, for tn
first time, learned he had near rela
tives in this country.

Today it was brought to Madison. ac-
companied by about SO automobiles

hood.
The home guards and band were
assembled and marched to the street
in front of the undertaking estab-
lishment. They had to wait for
some little time for the arrival of the
hearse. On its arrival they reformed
and the ~pallbearers bore the remains
behind the home guard to the church
to the music of a dirge. The coffin
had been draped with an American
flag.
Between two saluting lines of the
guard the body was taken into the
church and placed on a bier at the
front of the altar. The services were
elaborate, and the church was filled
to capacity. Rev. II. w. Minish de-
livered the address.
Following the ceremony at the
church many accompanied the body
to the grave. There was a repre-
sentation of the home guard, and a
firing squad of that organization.
The ceremony there was brief. The
firing squad gave their salute, and
the bugler sounded taps" Literally
hundreds of automobiles followed
the body to the grave.

AMOUNT OF FOOD NEEDED
Committee of Experts Has Decided
Just What Must Be Supplied to
the Average Man.

AS basis for calculating the amount
of food which must be provided for
the human system the interallied scien-
tific food commission has found that
an average man of 154 pounds working
eight hours day requires food having
an energy value of $500 calories.
The commission consists of repre-
sentatives Of the United States. France,
Italy, Belgium and Great Britain, and
its purpose is to consider the food prob.
lem of the allies from q scientific point
of view, and in agreement with the in
terallied executives to make proposals
to the allied governments.
The commission agreed that, in event
1t should become impossible to supply
$500 calories Of food. a reduction of
10 per cent could be suffered for some
time without injury to health. The
minimum ration of fat for the "aver
age man" was determined upon as two
and tive-eighths ounces day.
The commission recommended that q
