RECIPE FOR LONG LIFE
Brittisher's Plan, However, is No Good in This Country as It Vio- latee 18th Amendment.

London, May i6.---The ripe old age of ,52 years is within the grasp of anyone, says Dr. Josiah Oldfield, the latest aspirant to the shoes of Ponce de Leon.
 Dr. Oldfeld's method is simple. but not simple enough to avoid conflict with the 18th amendment He be- lieves in diet of coarse bread. DOT ridge, buttermilk, vegetables, butter, cheese and home brewed ale and so- laces Americans by saying that the last mentioned article Is not essen- tial to long life. although a potent factor in attaining it.
 Dr, Oldhelds argument has force, for he has an example to substantiate his claims in the person of "old Parr," the famous man who mar ried for the first time at the age of so years and the second time at 122, and who never partook of anything but the above diet. This gentleman died at the age of 162 years from eat ing meat.
