REP. BLAMED FOR
HIGH SUGAR PRICE
Congressman Kincheloe in a
Speech at Spottsville Tells
Why Sugar Scared to 30c
a Pound.

Louisville, KY, Oct. Elm a
speech made today before large
crowd of Henderson County voters,
Congressman David II. Kincheloe ex-
planned how the dlly-dallying of the
Republican Congress was responsible
for thirty cents sugar in this country
Had the Congress accepted Presi-
dent Wilson's recommendation
promptly sugar would have sold as
cheaply as it did year before. and
almost billion dollars would have
been saved American purchasers. In
part Congressman Kincheloe explain
ed the situation as follows:
THE Lever Food Control Act
which was passed by a Democratic
Congress during the war under which
the sugar corporation operated, con-
tanned a provision ending the exis-
tence of the corporation when the
armistice was signed
President Calls Attention.

was sold to American people at II

and ~ cents per pound. The presi-
dent in a message to the Republican
Congress on the sth Of August 1919,
called attention to the fact that the
sugar corporation had ceased to func-
ton and urged this Republican Con-
gress to pass an act Immediately ex-
tending the powers of this sugar cor
poration. Hearings were conducted
before a committee of the Senate hav-
ing charge OF this legislation and
members of the original sugar cor
poration appeared before this COM
mittee and testified that they had no
further powers under the original act
by reason of the cessation OF the
war. Notwithstanding these represen-
tations by the President in his mes
sage and the members of the sugar
corporation. the Senate failed to pass
the law extending the life of this
corporation until December I. 1919.
The Republican House did not pass
il until December 16. 1919. and the
House added amendents to the Senate
bill which threw it into conference.
The conference report was not adopt
ed until the 2sth day of December
1919, and the bill did not become
law until December 81. 1919.
Many weeks before that all OF the
Cuban sugar crop had been sold to
England and other countries and there
fore the act was of no service to the
American people If this Republican
Congress had passed the act immed-
lately after the president had called
its attention to the fact in his special
message, the sugar corporation would
have Immediately bought the Cuban
Sugar crop at the same price it paid
for it in 1913, and therefore the
people would have purchas-
ed sugar as cheaply in 1920 as they
did in 1919"

FASTING NINE WEEKS.
The Case of a Californian Who Tried
to Better His Digestion.

To The Sun and New York Herald
MacSwiney's self-imposed fast in a
London Jail, now continued forty
days, even IL il is bona fide abstin-
ence from any sort of nourishment,
is not unprecedented for duration
In 1914 | witnessed and wrote up
for the San Francisco Chronicle a
self-imposed fast by tailor. aged 30
dwelling a few blocks from where |
was living in the town of Falo Alto,
Cal, the college community adjacent
to Stanford University
That man had read. as I then did. a
number of authoritative volumes on
the theory and science of fasting as
means for relieving diseased or de-
Perforated digestive channels.
On the twenty-seventh day of his
fast, although he had lost very APP
preciably in weight, he walked nearly
three miles and carried some market
purchases weighing about thirty
pounds. last saw him in his bedroom
a day or two before the fiftieth day,
and only then had he taken to his
bed In company with a professor of
chemistry in Sanford University, at
that time Mayor of the city of Palo
Alto, ! spent about an hour conversing
with the faster and could not help but
marvel at the clarity and quick COM
prehension of his mind and his instan-
eous correction of any test error |
introduced in referring to earlier in
terviews.
He told me that after the initial per-
iod between the third and sixth day
he had had no craving whatever for
food. He was waiting for the arrival
of that almost uncomfortable desire
for food which the authorities had
written always is the notice that the
fast purpose has been accomplished
and nature is ready to resume all her
digestive functions in perfect condi-
ton. He did have a slight desire for
food the thirty-hrst day, but ignored
it as not sufficient urgent.
BY the sixty-fifth day of his fast he
had become so extremely skeleton
like and so weak physically that ply
sicians and clergymen urged his wife
to have him break his fast. This he
did, with the approved initial noursh-
ment of half teaspoonful of orange
juice diluted with like quantity of
water and slipped slowly. He repeated
this small amount of nourishment
about six hours later Next day he
died
The only nourishment he took prior
to the teaspoonful of orange juice
was pure water, and of that he drank
regularly several times each day
Even up to the sixtieth day his mind
was remarkable clarified, his thoughts
fluid, and he was never other than
keenly normal of brain, without coma
or Inconsistencies.
1t is possible for a man to fast for
sixty days and perhaps longer.

of smoke from his cigar travelling slow

cloud which hung above him. He
looked the personitication of vigorous
full-blooded manhood at ease.
BY the table, facing him squarely,
sat Jose Domlnguez, neatly built
Mexican with swapping black eyes, a
manner OF pleasant suavlty and an
ever-ready smile that displayed a dou-
BILE row of shining white teeth. That
smile did not for an instant deceive

The sight OF his daughter In the

with chilling shock. She ran for

threw herself upon him where he

him. Only by the turn OF his head
could he answer her caresses. There
was a look OF ineffable tenderness on
his face, for he loved her more than
