Man Is Descended.
The Syracuse family lives in a modern,
airy apartment on upper Manhattan ISL
and, New York City. overlooking the Har-
lem River, The mother and father are
American citizens of Italian extraction,
with thoroughly American ideals Mr..
Syracuse In a prosperous and financially
Independent merchant He is twenty
three years old and his wife is twenty-one.
Even before the baby was born they
had made their plans for trying 20 rear
him as n physically perfect child, and
from the moment little Jimmy--now
twonty-six months old--came into the
world, all their efforts have been bent in
that direction.
They are indebted TO DIR. Charles Il.
Page, of Boston, for their basic idea
letting the baby go naked and feeding il
on simple raw vegetable foods--and to
some extent also to an uncle of Mr.. SYRIA
cuse, who is distinguished Italian physi-
clan.
The five meals daily, which baby Jimmy
ia allowed to eat, are not like breakfast,
lunch and dinner as we think of them,
with varying menus, but repetitions of the
same type of food. Each meal comprises
n raw or uncooked hash comprising quite
a number of edibles chopped up and well
mixed. The type only varies with the
edibles which are in season.
The type meal consists Of exactly four
ounces Of hash of lettuce, radishes, Win
ter or Summer squash, onions, turnips,
cucumbers, melons, raw green corn, raw
alligator pears, raw apples, figs, dates and
nuts. The only drink allowed him is a
very little water. Strange TO say, of all
the above edibles lettuce and peanut but

out of season or how many of them, these
are procured all of the year around
Canned products are not used, possibly
because in New York City it is always

one kind or another.
Little Jimmy is not allowed to touch
sugar, oatmeal, milk, soups, NESTS or salt
Salt and sugar are essential to human
diet, but his parents believe he gets
enough OF both in the natural fruits and
vegetables. The combinations given him
TO eat are such, in the belief of his par
ents, that no unhealthy fermentation
takes place in the stomach. Disease
germs are thus less likely to take hold"
Little Jimmy is given no baths in water
and 10 meyer washed with water. When
he is dirty he is rubbed off with a cloth.
When he gets very dirty he Is washed"
with dry sand. Sometimes he has to be
rubbed with q damp cloth If the dirt sticks,
but Immediately after it is used he is
thoroughly dried in the sun.
Little Jimmy goes naked Summer and
Winter to permit the sun and air to enter
all his pores, to build up his vital strength
and to draw all poisonous secretions from
his system. He il encouraged to climb
rocks and trees-always naked--to give
him courage and develop his muscular and
nervous systems.
He was permitted 10 go on all fours as
long as he would, and even now, though
he can stand and walk thoroughly we'll, he
does a good deal of his moving about and
climbing Ike an animal A burrow in the
earth, fifteen feet long, was dug for him
to crawl in when he was fifteen months
old. IL is exactly like the kind of bur
