BATTLE CREEK, Mich, February
1s.--The farm of the future, without
animals. except possibly horse for
riding, and without fowls. except for
decorative purposes" was envisioned
yesterday by DR.. j. II. Kellogg. IS
year-old advocate of a vegetable diet.
For the products of farm animals
and fowls he would substitute "a few
walnut or hickory nut trees in the
back yard and along the highways,
with field crops of soy beans and pea
nuts"
He admitted, however. that prepare
ton must be gradual for such a radi-
cal change as the elimination of milk,
eggs and meat, but said he had fol-
lowed such a diet for many years
with immense profit"
Farm animals, with the exception
of horses, he classed as a liability ard
hazard to the farmer. for they eat up
more than three -fourths of the foods
our farms produce and return in food
products only a small part of what
they consume"
The farmer then would be obliged"

survey has been ordered on each
patient every few months in order TO
check up on his status from all
angles. including medical, compensa
ton, guardianship, insurance. and all
other phases in which the Govern
ment has a responsibility.
Patients under the Veterans Blu
reau at St. Elizabeth's, who numbered
976 last June, have been reduced to
$50 at the present time. This was
accomplished through some discharges
and great many transfers or
patients to hospitals nearer their own
homes.
Shifts In personnel having charge
of the patients at the hospital for the
Veterans Bureau resulted in transfer
of Dr. Antonio Rodriguez. who had
been medical liaison officer in charge

"It is a certain indication Of the

OFFICERS DEATH
ACCIDENTAL SAYS
CORONER'S JURY
Headricks ExOnerated of
Blame in Connection
With Sunday Tragedy.

Death due to injuries suffered
in an unavoidable motor accident
| while in performance of duties,
was the verdict returned by the
coroners' jury this morning fol-
lowing inquisition into the death
Of Frank w, Hunter, 50, motor
cycle patrolman of Holtville, Hunt
er was fatally injured shortly after
4 O'Clock Sunday when the cycle
which he was riding crashed into
the side of an automobile driven by
Harry I, Headricks OF Holtville,
just west of the Alamo river bridge
on the. Holtville highway. He died
at SIS O'Clock Sunday night in
the Holtvile hospital.
Headrieks was practically evon-
Grated of blame by the testimony
offered by 10 witnesses at the in
quest held under the supervision Of
Coroner B. E. Lemons this morn
ing. Edward II. Law, deputy DIS
triet attorney, questioned the wit
nesses.
The testimony was to the effect
that Hunter had been seated in the
Holtville park just prior to the
crash and had then mounted his
cycle and was believed to have
started in pursuit of motorists vio-
lating a traffic law. The evidence
was that he had rounded the curve
Just west of the bridge at rather
fast speed and that for some reason
the cycle, or nj least the rear
wheel, had left the pavement at
the right of the road, then cnt
across the road and crashed into
the machine driven by Headricks.
Whether the speed at which the
cycle was driven had caused the
machine to leave the road for an
instant, whether it was the glare
of the sun in the motorists ewes
or whether the approaching car had
caused it was the matter left for
the jury to decide. There was no
evidence at any time to show that
the Headrick machine was on the
wrong side of the road at any time
prior to the accident or at the time
it occurred.
A physician testified that just
prior to the death of Hunter, he ro-
marked that he had not worn his
glasses and said something about
the sun glaring. This testimo nv
was regarded as upholding the
theory that the sun had blinded
the deceased and that as a result
40 lost control If the machine.
Those to testify were; William
Cornelison, city marshal of Holt
vile; Frank NJ, Taylor, Martha
Rverson, Jacob Silverner, DR.. John
d, Keys, Otis A Savage, F. T. Hun
ter, son of tho deceased Sam Wise,
DEPUTY sheriff C. T. Massingale
and Harry I, Headricks.
The funeral will be held from
Lemons funeral parlor tomorrow
at 10 o'clock. The service
will be in charge Of a Christian
Science reader. Burial will be in
Evergreen cemetery.
