Week Of Fastlnu Advised.

Fayette county, Pennsylvania, ply
sicians are advising a fast of one week
TO cause a reduction In food prices.
The physicians state that anyone
above sixteen can fast a week with
beneficial results and that a half-mil-
lion dollars would be saved by Fayette
county folks In that time.
The physicians suggest that only wa
ter be taken in the six-day fast. In
discussing the proposed fast, ply
sician said:
such fast will positively not T.
jure anyone. I would be willing to
undertake trial fast of week sim
ply to demonstrate the 4 ,.slbllity Of
the plan and It's beneficial results phys
ically. Water, OF course. is to be TAX
en-, but, thank heaven, that costs little.
If there are any per- rs VIII desire to
join me in trial fast i am willing to
start any time"

FRIENDS OF LIBERALIZATION.

An inquiry into the influences favOrng federal own
ership of railways brings out some curious facts 1t APP
pears that the principal classes supporting the plan are
the labor unions and their supposedly nveerae foes the
capitalists Most of the holders of railroad stocks and
bonds are said to be just about eager for the Plumb
program as are the railroad broherhoods and allied
unions.
The motive of the security holders is evident enough
Their investment has been so uncertain the last few
years that they would welcome government ownership as
guarantee of interest and dividends The returns might
not be so large is possible under private ownership
but they would be regular and sure.
Against these classes ranged the business classes
engaged in manufacture and commerce, large proper
ton Of the professional classes and most of the farmers
Altogether the opponents of federal ownership at present
appear to be greatly in the majority.
