Rigby. mayor of Ormond, states that Mr. Rockefeller is able to sit down to the table and eat any- thing any ordinary man eats, al- though he uses judgment in his diet and does not overeat. Mr. Rigby says he has eaten with the oil mag- nate frequently and that he is sur- prised at the varieties of food he enjoys. John D.
