Breakfasts Are Unknown and Ex-)| Jods os Passing Are (grand weren of ty ted os Commvea—Nvo Love Between Husbands aud Wives, Edgar Wallace Conable, founder of a} Strange health colony in Colorado several years ago, has abandoned the} | high altitude of the Rockies and- has bought $8,000 acres of land in northern Arkansas and colonized it with several hundred foliowers, all of whom believe in his manner af living. The colonists eat no breakfast. The men do Rot love their wives, nor do the wives love their husbands, Living in family groups is a mere matter of form, it is contended, although there have been famNy squabbles caused by jealous husbands and wives in this colony. The settlement lies among the "Frisco system, and is to be made into one vast orchard and vineyard. No form of animal life must be killed on the premises, but it is the endeavor of the colonists to drive away all kinds of insects and pests. The land, which was vought only a few weeks ago, is now being planted in fruit trees, and settlers are building their homes on the wide stretch of the mountain country, By next summer they expect to have everything in first- class working order, According to their creed, people should live in the highest form of physical and mental life. This em- braces extended periods of fasting, for purification of the body and the elimi- nation of disease, It ‘contemplates the nonuse of meat, alcoholic stimulants, and tobacco, Conable says that as soon as his crops begin to grow he will allow no one on the premises, except as a tem- porary guest, who lives on anything but his sort of food, No morning meal will be tolerated by the Conable colony, and ao cook stoves will be found in the kitchens. The housework of the women will be limited, inasmuch as the only preparation of the food will be-to-wash-away the dirt Fasting is regarded as a means of strengthening the body amoug these people. Miss Reda Benjamin, a young woman, bas just completed a fast of 25 days without any bad effect to her body. She has muscles as bard as an athlete and is a perfect specimen of physical womanhood. No physicians are allowed in the colony. Whenever a person is ill he is placed under the care of the health teachers, who, by a system of cereal and fruit products, and by tasting or starving the disease, as they say, at- tempts to cure the patient. Conable allows no horses on the farm, and all the work is done by human hands or steam power.

Two years with a badly fractured skull of which she was utterly unconscious is the record of Mrs. George Hassenzahl, of Toledo, O,, Who is at present a marvel to the physicians. Two years ago as Mrs, Hagsenzahl was descending some stairs her. She was for a time, but it was thought were no serious results. However, after the lapse of some menths a large swelling appeared above one eye and for the removal of this Drs. George Hollister and Feter Donnelly de- cided to operate. The patient was taken to a hospital and what was the amaze- : }ment of the physicians to find that there was a fracture of the skull four inches 1n *liength. They are puzzled to know why death did not result. The skull was tre- panned and it is belived that Mrs. Has- senzahl will be restored to good health.

Mrs. Hiram Seanor, of Greensburg. Pa, won a notable victory over the Pennsylvania rairoad company recent ly when she compelled it to purchase new curtains for the windows of her home. The Seanor home fronts along the Pennsylvania railroad. Red curtains in the window proved a constant an- noyance to trainmen, who mistook them for danger signals; and trains were frequently brought to a stop. The railroad company insisted that the curtains be removed, but Mrs. Seanor replied that the curtains coula only be replaced by the company fur- nishing green ones. This was done, and now the trains no longer stop be- fore the Seanor home. & fight with Amcricans Lost in Labrador. Fell 80 Feet and Lives.
