abstinence from food Corporal
Squier has won wager Of $25
which he made with Nelson F. Le-
cleare of Mortified and Robert f..
Ide of Morrisville, to members of
the senior class. Sergt. Ide is the
son of Mrs. Harriet Ide of Lyndon
Center and a grandson of Elmore
I. Ide of St. Johnsbury.
The wager stipulated that Cor
poral SQuier was to take nothing
into his system with the exception
of drinking water for the period of
week.
Despite the fact that the Nor
witch cadet has gone without food
during the past seven days he has
not omitted a single military or
academic duty throughout the en-
tire period. His schedule, filled
with activity from six o'clock in
the morning until 10 O'Clock at
night has been carried out exactly
as during the days when he was
eating three meals each day. Fasts
of seven days and longer are not
uncommon, but the subject usually
sleeps during the greater part Of
the time that he is without food.
Squier did not sleep or even lie
down to any greater extent than
when he was eating normally.
Apparently the fast had no i'll
effects upon the Norwich sophie
more. He ate last big meal, per-
hapS the largest he ever in his
life, a week ago Sunday night.
Thereafter his diet consisted of
water alone. Lack of food did not
bother Squier the first day of his
fast. On Tuesday, however his
stomach panied somewhat, but the
pains passed away on the third day
Wednesday was the hardest day
for the faster for it was then that
his craving for food reached its
peak. The remaining days of the
week Squier did not find great diff
ficulty in going without food but
each day was attended by a grow
ing weakness Of the legs. Last
night Squier ate very lightly of
oranges and milk. He intends grad
ually to resume his normal eating
program, but will reach it by de-
grees in order that his weakened
stomach may not be seriously af-
fected.
Up to the very last an observer
would have to be toll that Squier
was fasting. He is of a rather
heavy build though not feshy. His
complexion retained its customary
glow during the entire week, and
the rotunditv of hi checks was
lost but slightly.

EIiKTON, Md. Jan. 13.-Employ-
