BACK TO NATURE,
WEAR NO CLOTHES
EAT ONLY RAW FOOD AND BR
WELL AND HAPPY
Boycott BARRIERS, He Shouts-DevII
Invented Razors and Scissors, Hs
Says-Maybe He's Right.

Dodge City, Kan.-A back-to-nature
movement of the extreme type was
frustrated in Dodge City when disci-
pies of John Wiseman were persuad-
ed not to hold a meeting here. Wise
man believes the human body was
designed to reach its greatest perfec-
ton without adornment of clothing
and without the nourishment of cook
ed food. With three disciples he has
reached Dodge on trip from Wash
ington, d. c., TO the California coast,
where he thinks he will be allowed
to live as his belief directs he should.
Wiseman Is sixty years old and
since the day he adopted his strange
propaganda he has boycotted BARRIERS.
His beard reaches to his waist, while
his gray locks stream down his back.
With three followers he is traversing
the continent on bicycles, seeking
California. There he believes the cli-
| mate and the law will permit him to
live without clothing, which can be
obtained only by the murder of ami
mails, which he pronounces as serious
an offense as the killing of human
body.
In fact Wiseman believes the hui
man race should pattern after the
animals, live in the covering nature
furnishes, eat herbs and roots and
forswear decorations made from
feathers of birds and skins of animals
When they reach suitable climate
the Pilgrim Preachers, as they call
themselves, intend to live their belief.
They admitted that they had some
trouble in trying to follow out their
belief in some localities on account

of the law, which they condemn for
forcing them to live in sin.
"Disobedience to natures law is
SIM" said Wiseman, who was a rail-
road engineer in the west for twenty
years before he evolved his theory of
life.
"Quit shaving or clipping the beard;
the devil invented scissors, razors
and BARRIERS to rob you of your health,
hair and money to give Tubal Gains,
BARRIERS, Babylon church preachers,
undertakers and all Satan's servants
Of hell's system job. Quit cooking
your food to rot your teeth, sour your
stomach and bowels and cause decay
and death.
when the annointed son of Jeho-
yah appears with natural beard and
hair which is natures conductor of

ural head cover, the Satans and their
false head-covered ladies' will cry
out to mock and condemn as filthy
microbe catcher Some have already
passed judgment on hrruse cats and
poodle dogs to be clipped or shaved.
This would start cat and dog bar
her business and make another job
for the devil; but for all such false
pride and silly Judgment Jehovah has
said they shall lose their hair, and he
will bring curses and badness upon
their proud heads"

A CANDY SUBSTITUTE

If you are trying to do your bit
toward seeing that the sugar crop
is well divided among the Allies, and
so are refraining from using 1t for
unnecessary articles of food and lux
uries, you may be interested in some-
thing to make as a substitute for
the ever popular fudge, and yet some
thing, not merely to serve as substi-
tute, but to afford variety as WELL
Why not try stuffed dates? They
may be prepared in various ways First
of all, wipe the dates carefully with q
damp cloth do not put them into
water to wash them, for that makes
them too wet and 1t is difficult to dry
them. Remove the stones then they
are ready for stuffing. Peanuts may
be used, il preferred, but most peo-
pie like English walnuts better. Brazil
nuts are delicious and almonds are
also good. Some people like to stuff
dates with cream cheese, and these
are excellent served as a sweet or in
salad, though, If they are served as
salad, they are more easily managed
If cut in slices.

CHURCH BUILT TO
KEEP OUT SALOON.
Little Structure Built In Two Hours
at Grossett, Ala, Keeps Town Dry.

Little Structure Built In Two Hours
at Grossett, Ala, Keeps Town Dry.
Grossett, Ala.-In Grossett is lit
tie building which Grossett residents
point out as "the little church that
saved Grossett from whisky"
Grossett always has been "dry."
The Grossett Lumber Company would
not allow saloon to be built in the
town. But once a saloon threatened
to invade the vicinity of the town.
That was how the little church came
tc be built, many years ago.
Back in the early days, when the
virgin weeds crowded close to the
edge of Grossett and telephones were
first being used in Ashley county, a
rnmor started that Grossett was to
have saloon-not in the town, of
course, but somewhere near.
Clarke Buckner, manager of the
lumber company at that time, went
t. Hamburg, the county seat, and
learned that, although no license had
been issued, the saloon men were on
their way to Hamburg. He hurried
to the telephone.
BY his orders, given over the wire,
lumber was rushed to the street cor
ner in Grossett and crew of carpen-
ters was put to work on the erection
Of little building, IA by 16 feet in
size.
BY telephone Mr.. Buckner kept in
constant touch with the work through
the day.
At 4 O'Clock he hung up the receiv-
er with smile of satisfaction. Ten
minutes later the saloon men arrived
at Hamburg and presented a petition
for license.
You can't build saloon within
three miles of Grossett," Mr.. Buck
ner objected. "The state law will not
permit it. We have church there"
"But we left there only two hours
ago and there was no church there"
replied the astounded petitioners.
1--WE have built one since you left"
said Mr.. Buckner. There's the tele-
phone. Find out for Yourself"
And they did.
Small, it is true, was the structure
the men had rushed to completion in
two hours, but it was church. For a
time it was large enough to accommo-
date the congregation which gathered
weekly.

l. THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS.
The temptation of Jesus carries
with it great encouragement and sug-

was touched with the feeling Of our
infirmities.' Many a man has been

not forty days yet for a long time.
He can understand what a battle went
on there. We are glad to know that
our Lord fought and conquered. If
there were no record of temptation
in his life we should be compelled to
conceive one. for no man approaches
perfection unless he has fought and
conquered the passions and ambitions
of bis life. There can be little char
acter without temptation-tha is,
temptation which has been mastered.
No man ought to throw himself
heedlessly into the way of tempta ton

Gypsum, Kan.-Fourteen years ago
when Charles Milleson paid his har-

pulsory, nor is any woman who
does not wish to do so have to

each lady is requested to comply
with the request Of the Wo-

OUR SOLDIER BOYS
REACH FRANCE
SOUTH DAKOTA UNIT LANDS AT
TER SAFE VOYACE-lNCLUD
HAAKON COUNTY BOYS

Official announcement was
made late yesterday afternoon
through the office Of the adju-
tant general at Redfield that
the South Dakota unit had ar
rived safely on French soil, ac-
cording to a cablegram from Col
onel Boyd Wales to that office.
This includes Battery J, lat
Field Artillery, formerly Com
pany A, of Pierre, which has a.
mong its members a large number
of Philip and Haakon county
boys.
There has been a presentiment
here for some time past that the
boys were enroute to France.
The last letters received from
them were dated about January
Sth. The knowledge that they
have safely passed the submarine
peril is received with a great
feeling of relief everywhere.
Letters from the front will
now be awaited with interest,
but they will be several weeks
in arriving, so each one must
have patience. A letter received
yesterday by Frank Colclough
from one of his brothers on the
firing line was mailed December
l4ih, so it can be realized that
mail is some time on the road.
The letters will be censored and
the boys will be restricted con-
siderably as to what they write.
Personal experiences at the front
may only be told after the boys
return at the close of the war.
Meanwhile, our hearts are
with them, and our interest in
the multitude of war activities
quickened by the knowledge
that they are active participants
in the struggle to make the
world free for democracy.
