How Long Can Man Fast
and Live Paris Question

PARIS. October 1S.-The long hum
ger strike of Mayor MacSwiney of
Cork has caused much discussion here
as to how long it is possible for a
man to fast. DR.. Socquet has told
the, Paris Midi that the record is
sixty-three days without food. set by
William Granier in 1881.
Granier had been sentenced to
death. and was confined in the prison
at Toulouse" said DR.. Cocquet. "He
had horror of the guillotine, and to
save himself from death by that in
strument, determined to starve, which
he did after sixty-three days.
MANY hunger strikers have lived
longer than could have been expect
ed" he went on. There are the
cases Of Tanner, Succi and Merlatti,
the latter Of whom starved forty
eight days while he lost one-quarter
of his weight. Taylor tells of the
case of a worker who was imprisoned
in a mine for sixty days without food.
He lived three days after his rescue,
and died as a result of being excess
sively fed. Many lunatics have re-
fused to take food for twenty, thirty,
or even forty days.
mo rule can be established as to
length Of time a man can fast His
endurance will depend upon his pre-
vious health, his constitution, and
also upon his spiritual condition
which is very important. 1t is well
known that starving man may in
crease his endurance a great deal by
drinking water"

Church to Consider Question.

Many urgent appeals to make some
pronouncement regarding the case OF
the lord mayor Of Cork and the other

to the Irish situation.

such course would lead to civil war

Mr.. HOUSTON ATTACKS
E-WEATHER CHIEF

In an official statement from the
Treasury Department an attack is
made upon Willis L. Moore, former
chief of the United States weather
bureau. because of a speech he made
at a republican rally Thursday night.
The statement follows:
when his attention was drawn to
a speech by Willis l.. Moore at repub-
lican headquarters in Washington
Thursday night Secretary Houston
haps, should not be dignified by no.
tice, but to those who do not know
him, and probably to some who do,
his statements might carry weight.
1t is sufficient to say that Mr..
Moore pestered Gov. Wilson, after he
he had been inaugurated, with very
pernicious campaign for the position
of Secretary of Agriculture.
Later an investigation disclosed
that as chief of the weather bureau he
used his Office and the services of
the promotion of his campaign for ap-
pointment to the cabinet, with a conse-
quent unnecessary expenditure of gov
eminent funds of between 10000 and
$4,000. When the new administration
came into Office Mr.. Moore, who was
a presidential appointee, did not offer
his resignation. as is customary. In
the light of his improper office seeking
campaign, the President requested
Secretary Houston to ask for Mr..
Moore's resignation. This was done
and he was relieved of his official
duties.
subsequently. he became repub-
lican candidate for political office in
1.-The animus of his present political
attack upon the Secretary of the
Treasury is apparent. Secretary Hous-
ton dismisses as unworthy of notice
the statement that he is not in SYM
pathy with the problems of rural life.
He is willing to leave the vast amount
of helpful legislation which he was in
strumenta1 in securing and the vast
extension of the activities of the De-
partment of Agriculture in the inter-
ests of the farmers to the judgment Of
the people."
