LIVED LONG ON FRUGAL DIET
Enoishman Who Died in 1880 Proved
That 1t Was Possible to Exc
Out Existence Cheaply.

Thomas f. CURLY, the champion
eater of Massachusetts, declared that
dyspepsia is the result of eating too
little, and not too much. His Sunday
dinner consisted of thirteen Holsters,
sixty eggs, and one hundred oysters.
At the other end of the scale must be
placed old Roger Crab, the first vege-
tartan, who died September IL, 1880,
after proving that man could live
on IS cents year. Originally hab-
erdasher in big way of business at
Gresham, England, a free liver and
drinker of strong ales, he got re-
ligion"-also dyspepsia-in middle life,
sold his stock, gave the proceeds to the
poor, and took to living in a hut on
three-farthings a week. Instead of
"strong drinks and wines" he says In
his autobiography, II give the old
mamie lived two centuries too soon
to call it Little Mary"-"a cup of
water; and, instead of roast mutton,
rabbit with bran, and pudding made
with bran and turnip-leaves chopped
together" And on this diet he lived to
a ripe old age, surviving repeated
cudgelings and Imprisonment for
witchcraft.

The Horse of Thlrty.FIve.

Study of the relation between the to-
tai length of life and the time required
to reach maturity has brought out an
interesting comparison between men
and horses. A horse at five years old
is said TO be, comparatively, as old as
man at twenty, and doubtless may be
expected to behave, according to
equine standards. after the manner of
the average college student following
human standards A ten-year-old
horse resembles, so far as age and ex-
perience go, a man Of forty. while a
horse that has attained the ripe age of
thirty-hve is comparable with a man of
ninety.-New York Evening Post.

LONDON. March 5.-April 3 has been
tentatively fixed as the date of the de-
parture of Sir Auckland Geddes the
new British ambassador to the United
States, for New York.
Sir Auckland said this morning that
he had been misquoted in what pur-
ported to be interviews with him in
which 1t was declared he had char
acterized the Sim Fein movement az
''practically religious scheme" Sir
Auckland declared:
In the first place, have granted
no interview since my appointment
to the Washington post. What was
quoted as saying must have been
founded on my conversations of Tues-
day last, in which I emnIoved the
platitude that Sim Feinism ~ an in
tensely national movement

complexities more political than re-
ligfous thlnk my reported optimism
over the new home rule hill is ,,ndsr
standable, since l participated in its

espousal of world loan to Germ.nv
was merely a"reiteration of bis ~,
viction that one of the worlIl.S first
duties was to help Germ.n, ha.

quently expressed in public addresses

Hancock, Md, covers distance of

miliar with the conditions do not fear
the water will get high enough to do
damage here, however, as there is
practically no ice in the river in the

Allies Are Expected
to Consult the U. S.
on Turkish Treaty

The United States. in the opinion of
officials here, will be consulted as to
terms Of the virtually completed Turkish
treaty before the document is handed
to representatives of the Constantinople
government for signature.
The United States. while refusing to
take any part in the drafting of the
Turkish treaty, is considered by the al
he'd governments to possess special
interest in the solution of the Turkish
problem as a potential member of the
league of nations.
During the negotiation of the German
and Austrian treaties the entente rem
resentatives made a number of efforts
to engage tho American commissioners
in discussions of Turkish problems, par
ticularly as to the disposition of Con
stantinople. Inasmuch as the United

form on Result of Gov
ernor's Activity.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

While there is no diminution of en-
thusiasm or lack of effectiveness on
the part of government officials who
are charged with the enforcement OF
the prohibition laws. it is. neverthe-
less, a fact that a considerable part
Of the Wilson administration looks
with favor upon the so-called wet
wave" which is sweeping the eastern
seahoard.
every now and then to supersede all
other phases of political discussion,
and it is no secret that. were il not
for fear Of what havoc William
jennings Bryan might do at the San
Francisco convention, the agitation
begun by Gov. Edwards of New Jersey
would get more enthusiastic support
from democratic leaders who control
delegations and who are thoroughly
wet"
Democrats Advise Caution.
Western democrats. however, who know
of Mr.. Bryan's potentiality for political
mischief. are advising caution. They
even argue the merit of prohibition
as affecting their states. how the
penitentiaries have been emptied and
the retail merchants have prospered.
but this sort of argumeN makes
little effect on the thirsty men of the
east who do not see why under
liberalization of the prohibition laws
the same civic objects could not be
attained.
For one thing, none of the "wets'
in the administration has even
friendly word to say for the saloon
hor
Nor do they champion the cause or
whisky But they insist that some
sort of beverage like light wines or
beer should be permitted the country
/ Indeed, the Wilson people, who IA =
vor a liberal platform on the prohibi-
ton question. are fearful lest the
brewers or the liquor interests gener-
ally get behind what seems to wet
folks here q spontaneous reaction
against prohibition. They would pre-
fer popular demonstration to continue
uninspired by any organization OF
business interests which could be sus-
pected of a selfish motive in the set
tlemenk Of the question. Some admin
istration officials point out that the
extreme tactics used by the 'Anti-Sa- :
loon League should not be duplicated
by any institution favoring the wet
cause or the public will not be reused
in support of a reform of the prohibi-
tion laws.
Interesting to Watch Edwards.
Politically. however. it is interesting
to watch such activities as those Of
Gov. Edwards Of New Jersey. who is
campaigning on a wet platform. There
is a genuine expectation th54 he will
enter presidential preference primaries
in several states and gather In large
vote more as a demonstration of how
the rank and file in the democratic
party feel about the wet question than
|aAfy special Endorsement of Mr.. Edwards
himself. for admittedly his personality
has not been known west of the Della
ware river before this year.
Briefly. many of the democratic lead
ers do not look unfavorably on the
Edwards movement. They think it will
help them decide in advance of the
San Francisco convention whether it is
going to be popular to insert a plank
urging light wines and beer for the
nation.
