EARLY CONSIDERATION OF
DAYLIGHT SAVING BILL
Rules Committee Instructs Chairman
80 Pou to Offer Special Rule
in House.

: The House rules committee today by
: unanimous vote instructed Chairman
Pou of North Carolina to offer in the
: House a special rule making the day
light saving bill. which already has
passed the Senate, preferential legisla-
-tion to receive the attention of the
House at the earliest possible date.
Chairman Pou announced on the
floor of the House yesterday that such
n rule would be brought in within
: few days.
There IS no known opposition of any
considerable strength in the House to
-the- passage of the bill, but unanimous
= consent has been refused a number of
times when. asked by Chairman Sims.
Representative Garrett of Tennessee
and others. 1t is believed that this ap-
parent opposition was only because the
members felt that the measure should
) not be allowed to obtrude on more i'm
-portant appropriation measures essen
-tiai to the conduct of the war.
: That daylight saving has been ad-
s-vocated since the days Of Franklin was
by Representative j. Hamp-
ton Moore of Pennsylvania, who spoke

ENDS A To-Day FAST
! FEELING At HIS BEST
Police Sergt. Charles o. Turner Says
People Eat Too Much Food,
Anyhow.

That food is not essential to well BE-
ing and that as a matter Of fact food
In eaten. in too great quantities by
nearly every one is the belief Of Serst
Charles o. Turner, desk sergeant at NO.
. no1ice nrecinct. He finished a twelve
day fast Monday.
Sergt Turner has made a practice Tor
the last six years of observing period
ical fast periods of from fifteen to
thirty days for no other purpose than
to lose weight and gain greater Ell
lciency in his work. Six years ago
Sergt Turner was the fat boy" of the
police, tipping the beam at that time
ut $50 pounds. Yesterday, as a result
of his twelve-day fast. he weighed ex-
actly 1877 pounds.
Most people gather the impression
that when a man fasts he loses his
vigor and strength. 1t is fact that
I have consistently felt better since
the first pangs of hunger passed than
I have ever felt in my life" asserts
Sergt Turner. Every day 1 walk
from nv home in Georgetown to the
station house on 9Th street, and, as for
feeling any i'll effects from the exer.
else, | believe I could lick squad OF
German soldiers right now.
..Of course, following the fast l mus.
be a little careful about my diet II
/ break fast too soon with hearty
meal 1 am apt to feel bad: But as FOR
the good it does me. look mere ana
Sergt. Turner Iossened the belt OF his
trousers and showed a space of ten
inches. "And feel better every day
/ fast" he said.
my good health I attribute to good
teeth and the fact that I take outdoor
exercise every day. Working at desk
and with no strenuous exercise, man
of my constitution takes on weight
rapidly"
Sergt. Turner estimates that during
the first few days of every fast perioo
he loses approximately two pounds a
day. This loss decreases as the fast
