Missouri Farmer Has Not SWaI-

Twenty Years.
USES A SIMPLE DIET
"Makeshift" Feeding Attachment Not
Only Saves Mans Life, but lnsures
Him Excellent Health
and Happiness.

Macon, Mo.-Thomas Tilden Ar
buckle. farmer residing near here,
has not swallowed a, bite of solid food
or liquid during the past twenty years,
commencing him in more ways than
one to Food Administrator Hoover.
During all these years Arbuckle has
fed himself through tube which he
inserts into the stomach through a
narrow inciSion. Arbuckle 'eats," with
relish, soup, Irish potatoes thinned
with milk, coffee, molasses and has
even tried beer. He weighs 140 ponRds,
is five feet and seven inches TAN, is
married and is the father of four chill
dren. Since recovering from an opera
ton to his THROAT May %, 1898, he has
not had sick day in his life, all of
which he attributes to his simple diet.
He declares that if more people were
more enthusiastic about Hooverizing
they would spend less on medicine and
doctors.
Tube Used as "Makeshift."
Arbuckle lived in Louisville, KY, at
the time his throat became clogged as
the result of an attack of typhoid
fever. His brother, who suffered from
a similar affection, died when he be-
came unable to swallow. The doctors
therefore determined to take chance

TRULY MAN OF GREAT FAITH

Absolute Confidence in Ones
Physician, But Still

Speaking at dinner, Senator Law
renee Y. Sherman of Illinois referred
to the occasional wisdom of second
thoughts, and happily recalled this lit
tie anecdOte:
A doctor once called to attend q
misery friend, and after diagnosing
the case, he wrote the usual prescrip'
ton.
"Since we have known each other
for such long time, DOCTOR" said the
misery patient, as he took the pre-.
scription, 81 don't intend to insult you
by settling your account in cash. In
stead, have put you down for hand
some legacy in my WILL"
"Ahem,' th6ughtfully responded the
doctor, and then added, "Would you
mind letting me see that prescription
again?"
"Not at ALL said the patient, hand
ing over the paper.

Before Day of chronometer.

Longitude baffied all navigators until
the chronometer came into use in 1875.
The ancients and later navigators, in
Guiding all the great discoveries, could
find their latitude by observations of
the suns height, but they could deter
mine their longitude only by dead
reckoning" or estimating their ships
progress from day to day. This sys-
tenn was uncertain and caused a great

DAISY Ely KILLER
New Compact Fire ESCAPE.

One of the boys aboard our navy's
feet has invented fire escape which
is similar to the rope ladders used
aboard ships. His principal object was
to provide a collapsible fire escape
which could be compacted and con-
veniently arranged at the window of
dwelling. 1t consists of a-container
hinged to the sill in such manner
that by opening the window and fold
Ing the cOntainer on its hinges the
metal ladder may be unfolded and
dropped. When this operation is gone
through, means is automatically pro-
vided whereby the ladder is held at
distance from the walls of the build
ing. The advantage of such precaution
is obvious.

'Of course it's only a makeslaft,
Tom," they explained, "but it will keep
you going while, and maybe we can
think up something else in time"
That ''makeshift" feeding attachment
is in use by Mr.. Arbuckle today, only
he has added small funnel so as to
make it easier to get the food into the
tube. t@-%1
Arbuckle's home is on the Thomas
Brockman farm, In LYDIA township, Ma
con county, Missouri, and Mr.. Brock
man says he has never had a more
capable workman. When dinner time
comes and the men gather about the
table, Arbuckle's food is brought to
him in bowls and cups, he gets out his
rubber tube and funnel and enjoys his
meal as well as the rest, and after din
ner he lights his pipe and makes as
big smoke rings as anybody.
Easy to Control an Overload"
Arbuckle takes no water from Sep
tember until May, the liquid food fur
nishing sufficient moisture during those
months. But during the warm months
he uses water heavily, often taking
from a quart to half a gallon at a
time. Should he~misjudge the capac-
ity of his stomach, and overload it, he
has q siphOn by which he can quickly
relieve the pain. In November, Ar
buckle will be forty-one. He was mar
ried in Indiana IL years ago.
"I've been feeding myself this way

strange about It," says Arbuckle. II

operation on my throat, I got all right,
and have had better health than the
average man. Only four days, as ]
remember 1t, have been laid off work
on account of sickness in the 20 years.
Arbuckle held out his muscular arm.
"You can see by that my physical con-
dition. My case seems to be demon
stration that people generally eat too
much; that good health and vitality
are the rewards for using easily di-
gested foods, In moderate quantities.

Leaving Thousand Island lake the
next morning you may return as you
came-four days; three nights.
Or, far better, if you can spare the
time, you will linger an hour or two in
front of Banner before starting, and.
again, an hour or two in LyelPs inner
shrine; you then may camp at the
head of Lyell canyon, spend the next
night at Tenaya lake for the sunset
and the early morning, and jog leis-

the stirring beauty of the incompar-
able valley, the glory of the High

A needle factory had sent to Aleppo,
Turkey, needles that were tied up with
green Irvine. The Mohammedan mer-
chant who had ordered them returned
the package, for the reason that the
use of the green, the color consecrated
to the prophet, for such purpose was
a derision of religion. Another con-

VT you go to Yosemite this summer,
you should plan to visit the mon
81 ster mountain climax of the ma
tional park of which Mount Lyell
is the chief. This is no one-day hike
with a luxurious public camp at the
other end of it. 1t means taking
enough camping-oUt equipment along
to enable you to. spend three or four
nights in the open. But after all that
is no great matter, for it SO seldom
rains in the Sierra that tents will not
be necessary; comfortable sleeping
bags, a coffee pot, few tins, and a
plentiful supply of food will be all
that is ecessaryAbesides, of course,
good guide. All equipment, includ-
Ing guide and horses, may be got in
the valley.
The first night out from the valley
should be spent In the celebrated
Tuolumne Meadows where you may
have plenty of trout for supper for
the catching; the Tuolumne is CAPT.
tai trout stream.
Lyell's Inner Shrine.
After an early trout breakfast, your
outfit will travel up the river to the
mouth Of Lyell Fork, and, swinging
around Johnson peak, will follow
that beautiful stream miles up it's long
scenic canyon. Past Rafferty, peak
and Parsons peak on your right, and
skirting long Kuna Crest with its
frothing cascades on your left, you will
find yourself at lunch time at the head
Of the canyon facing lofty shelves Of
granite, far beyond which loom glacier
shrouded peaks. These, as you will see
presently, are Mount Lyell, 1900 feet,
and its thanking giants, Mcclure noun
tain on the north, and Rodgers peak
on the south.
Scrambling up the granite shelf and
over Donohue pass, your horses carry
you through vast basin of tumbled
granite encircled at its majestic eli
max by titanic rampant of nine sharp
glistening peaks and hundreds Of spear
like points, the whole clOaked in enom-
nous shrouds of snow.
Presently-just how you do not
know, so breathless is your gaze ahead
the granite spurs inclose you. And
presently your horses scrambling over
impossible walls and shelves, looms
above you a mighty glistening wall
which apparently forbids further ap-
proach to Lyell's inner shrine. But
even this the agile horses surmount
and you find yourself in the SUBMITS
very embrace, facing glaciers and a
hkelet of robin's-egg blue. This is the

of an incident that occurred in Gold

found himself one night far from home
and inquiring the way to an inn, some
wag directed him to gentleman's

dered out his horse, demanded the best
supper the place afforded and gener-
ally gave himself airs. He did not
discover his mistake until the next
morning when he was about to pay
his bill.
