Atlantic City, r. j. Picture the
plight OF man With $20,O0o,oeO and
no appetite, That is the sad situa-
lion OF James Buchanan Brady, New
York millionaire sportsman, whose
diamonds and idiosyncrasies have
kept him in the limeight for years.

him here for rest, is the least Of the

He cannot eat, That is the tragedy
which overshsdows all other consid-
CREATIONS for James Buchanan Brady.
He confessed it recently 10 friend

extracted his stomach, pronounced the
opiuion that it had been worked

good as new and Brady was so CRATE
full that he gave the doctor a lee OF
100000, three motor cars in SUE
cessiye years and finally a handsome
mansion. But surgical science has
limitations. The Brady digestive ma
chinery went on strike again. his
nervous system is out Of keller and
his heart Is behaving so badly that
the doctors have told him exactly
what he may expect il their mandates
are not met TO the letter.

Thing which is not worrying Brady.
He never had any time for liquor, de
