A SHORT ORANGE FAST

/ have been teaching the value of
the orange fast for so many years
that it seems like an old story to
me. Many doctors who write health
articles have, for years, criticized
my teachings along this line, but it
is gratifying to see most Of them
changing their minds and coming to
believe in these same theories which
l have been advocating for more
than twenty years.
Only the other day one of our
leading medical column writer's
came out with an entire article on
the benefit Of short fasts. Another
physician who is the head of
large sanitarium is now fasting his
patients on fruit for as long as five
to ten d.ys.
There is no sensible reason why
physicians have been afraid to try
the fruit fast with their natients.
The orange fast is, of counse, not
complies fast, as orange juice fur
nishes 100 calories to the glass.
The fruit sugar of oranges is in a
form easily digested and assimil-
ated by the body. In addition, the
orange contains small amount of
protein and muscle building food
element, and a high proportion of
valuable mineral salts and acids
which are blood, bone, and brain
tissue building elements.
When one lives entirely on
orange juice, the body is well sup
piled with the mineral elements.
When the "heavier" foods are not
used the bodily forces can eliminate
toxic substances more readily. This
is due to the fact that the energy
ordinarily used in digesting such
foods can be used to increase the
functions of elimination. Bodily
poisons of all kinds are thrown out
at a rate which is many times
faster than is possible when regular
meals are eaten. The absence Of
waste cellulose material in the in
testines makes it advisable to use
one or two enemas daily to wash
out the intestinal toxins which are
mostly in a semi-liquid form.
It is really a very simple thing
to take an orange fast. All that
it is necessary for one to do is to
take whatever orange Juice is de-
sired several times during the day.
Best results are obtained if only q
quart to q quart and a half of
orange juice is used during any
one day. This amount is usually

BY RODNEY BUTCHER.
NEA Service Writer

Washington, Nov. o. A few
nights ago the National Press Club
held a meeting to vote on its new
constitution.
A newspaper correspondent was
called out of the meeting to answer
a telephone call.
The voice on the other end Of the
wire was of such quality that the
correspondent thought a drunken
man must be talking to him.
1t advised him that he and the
mysterious caller were not known
to each other, but that the CORE
spondent was known to the latter
by reputation.
According to the correspondent
the other man talked vaguely and
not very coherently.
The other man said he had somc-
thing to tell about the "Sinclair
trial" But he was so mysterious
and ambiguous that the reporter
became impatient, after vainly try
ing to learn what it was all about.
Finally, he hung up, asking the
mysterious stranger to come to Ms
office and see him.
That correspondent has been kick
ing himself ever since.
Later that evening, q desk man
on a Washington paper received q
telephone call from one j. Ray
Akers, street car conductor, who
asked whether the newspaper was
interested in "a new lead' on the
Sinclair trial.
There was considerable hesita-
ton and hemming and having be-
fore Mr.. Akers, according to subse-
quent affidavits, added that there
would be a chung jury" and that
he had been SO informed by Edward
j. Kidwell, one Of the jurors.
The newspaperman succeeded in
making an appointment with Akers.
According to subsequent affidavits,
they went to a barroom on South
west Az street, where Kidwell sin
dulged in indiscreet conversation
about the possibilities Of reward in
case Sinclair and Fall were acquit-
ted.
The newspaper which Akers had
interested in the story subsequently
put over a tremendous scoop"
when it announced three days later
that the government would ask that
a mistrial be declared and that the
evidence was such that the mistrial
would be granted. Akers and the
newspaperman furnished two Of the
affidavits on which the mistrial de.

LETTER &M

cision was based and these affi-
davits repeated Kidwell's alleged
remarks.
In the old days, before prohibi-
ton, INSCRIPTIONS private detec-
tives and sometimes even news
papermen, it is to be feared-occa-
sionally took unsuspecting persons
to saloons and bought liquor for
them until they gave up the in
formation that was sought. Every
one, of course, knows the tendency
of mere man to talk more than he
should when under liquors influ-
ence.
But the little place on Az street
is "soft drink parlor" despite it's
exact resemblance of an old time
saloon and it is less than two blocks
from the Prohibition Unit head
quarters, SO it is hardly to be sup
posed that Akers, in revealing his
story, acted under the influence of
anything except pure patriotism or
that Kidwell's tongue was loosened
by anything other than frank and
naive disposition.
We entered the dingy little dump
while looking for Akers. We were
two strangers there. The barkeep
quickly assured US that no beer or
liquor was for sale. In fact, the
only refreshments available were
bottled ginger-ale and lemon soda
for five cents a bottle. Yet, it ap-
pears that these soft drinks were
popular enough and profitable
enough to keep the place in opera
ton. We two reporters certainly
were impressed with the CONNER

soda and five-cent ginger-alc.

TIM TIM All of this is a severe blow, no doubt, to
: yany trusting souls. Half Of the charm of the
recong, "Home, Sweet Home" for this writer, at
last, has been the thought of that picturesque,
Mbmfortable-loo house on Long Island; the
drought that this was the home which Payne
..9ved, the home for which he longed, the home
mabout which he poured out his heart in that
lisimple, appealing song that made him famous.

ran Such truths ought not to be given general
un{rculation. Whoever saw a. real legend that
ssas not several degrees nicer than cold fact :?

so often but what one is able to pretend he
really believes it, is warm, nourishing thing !;
a thing that can make other things more real,
more precious, more valued.
