August Griebel was twenty years ago a prosperous, fine-looking man, with a wife and children and a Deautiful ,home, | Misfortune robbed him of his money and his home, and he Booured employment as a watchman for John Shults, the baker, j Some tive years ago he gave up eat- fng food and substituted milk punches, | and on those alone he has existed ever wince except when he was stricken with Malaria and had to be token to Bt. Cutherino's Hospital, where he was given Mquid nourishment. The food did not agree with him, he ptated, and as soon as he was able he protested and walked out. Since then he hag never had a sick day, In mak- ing his rounds during tho night he never thinks of wearing an overevat, but goes in his sirt-sleeves, | In height Griebel stands about six feet, is of a robust frame and has a houlthy glow to his cheeks, He is sixty yeurs old, weighs 1%) pounds and has gained twenty pounds on hig milk- punch diet, die is at the stables from 6 P, M until A.

Until | very recently, when the baby’s needs for \food became evident, Mrs, Rowe teok jthe fifteen cents.uncomplainingly, ‘When the baby's needs grew Mrs. Rowe thought the time had come for the Jaw to fix the amount, puszied at his power of endurance and tho fact that he ie gatning flesh on such a diet, Before Magistrate Mayn yesterday she told the pathetlo story of an ex- Je istence on fifteen centaa day, The Mag- (strate ruled that if Mr. Rowe wished to be allowed to go free he must supply his wife with steak twice a day, coffee, fruit, two Kinds of vegetables for her dinner and a suitable lunch, On Friday Mrs, Rowe w ave oysters or fish as she may prefer. Mrs. Rowe manared aguite a variety of food on her fifteen-cent limit, ‘Ten ecnts’ worth f oatmeal lasted her atout ten days, and a five cent can of condensed milk was equally as laet- ing Her tea was of an average grade, and cost her about one cent a cup, For lunch Mrs, Rowe satisfied her ap- petite with tea and bread, The latter she often ate dry. Dinner, which was svpposedly her big meal, consisted of potatoes, bread and tea, and semis weekly cheap meat, Sometimes this Was A soup bone and sometimes it was fn ohuck steak, {n hoth cases it was boiled down, and the broth from it saved for the nights when meat was lacking. ‘With, no greater variety than this Mrs. Rowe has pulled through twelve months and appears none the worse. —— FIRST IRISHMAN HERE.
