28 CHAMPION EATER NOW FOOD SAVER Stops Sideshow Gormandiz ing Stunts and Enlists in Food-Saving Efforts "Hungry Sam" Miller of Straw berry Ridge, the great and the only man living who has ever been known to gulp down 144 fried eggs in two and a half hours and live to tell the tale is on a diet, relates the Milton Standard. Sam isn't eating on that scale these days. lie has joined the ranks of Uncle Sam's food conservation ists because he has to. Once Sam gulped down the last bite of a pie v/ith the exclamation "Oolly! That's short." He was ready for his chew. He takes only two it day and they last all day and well into the night. Opening Up the Subject "Eating much these days? Hun gry Sam" was asked byway of in troduction to a subject tilt lies close to his stomach. "Hain't you been reading what President Wilson is asking us largo eoters to do? Of course, I hain't, I'm patriotic." Ana Sam proved It too because on his coat lapel was the little button that indicated he had done his "bit" in the purchase of his Liberty Bond. "liut of course I like to eat. Now. If there's anything I like to do it is to eat. About them fried eggs now." And "Hungry Sam" became elo quent as he recalled that gorman dizing lent. "I was down at a fair in New Tork. In my boating days I had estab lished sort of a reputation as an eater and a feller got too fresh and wanted to bet me SSO I couldn't eat 100 fried eggs hand runnin'. I show ed him up, I did. I just ate that hundred and then I got outside for ty-fcui more for good measure. And I did it in two hours and a half. What's more, I had a couple quarts of milk anil a half dozen pies to top off. I took his SSO and asked if there weren't a little'more easy money around them parts, but nary a rise could X get." Never Siek in His We "Do I ever feel any bad effects? Say 1 should say not. I've never seen the meal that could down me and I've never known what this here stomach trouble was. But you aren't goin' to put all this in the paper, are jou? Because if my boarding mis tress at 125 East Sixth street, Ber wick, KCts to know that yours truly respectfully, S. L. Miles is 'Hungry Sam' she may be chasin' me out. I'm careful not to eat too much on ordinary occasions. "You see it's this way. I nevei take advantage of my boarding mistress, and certainly with every thing so high in price as it is now you wouldn't see me extendin' my self In an eatin' way. Now, if you v.'as to wager that your friend 'Hun gry Sam' couldn't put it across I'd just be the one to fool you the darn dest. "You wanted to know how I got my start in life? Well, it was when 1 lived over in Nuremburg when I was young that I practised lip on this eatin' business. I started on apples, thlnkin' it wouldn't cost so much to practice. I'd BO out in the old barn, and tried to find out how much I could eat" without throwin' up. But 1 never found out, because I never got sick. I've never been stumped yet on this eatin' proposi tion. and I reckon I never will. "Then 1 took to boatin' was at It fourteen years and that's where I really got my name. Everybody got to know of 'Hungry Sam' and let it be said, everybody got to have a mighty healthy opinion of what yours truly could do ln an eatin' way. I took so much money out of the jeans, of some of them old boatmen that they got wise to me, and after they had parted with their hard earned cash they were willin' to back me against all comers. And say! We made some wonderful cleanups in them happy days. Cleaned Up on Pics "I remember flown at Columbia once in the boatin' days some feller got real smart and declared he did'- , n't believe any of this stuff lie had been hearin' about 'Hungry Sam.' " 'Well, I'm just the boy to fool you' I says to him. Here's $lO says I can eat them sixty-eight five cent pies'—you know they made 'em pretty big in those days—'and I'll top 'em off with two gallons of milk and a p.allon of ice cream.' Say It coat him $lO and he had to foot the bill for the stuff I ate. That was in the boatin' house days. Then I was inate on a three master down in the Chesapeake for nine months and those years just put an edge on a naturally good appetite, I'd say. "There was a time when the ladiea who helped make up the pastor's sal ary by holding cnicken and waffle suppers gave gasps of horror when thehy heard that 'Hungry Sam' yas there to get 'all you can eat for a quarter." "But Sam was modest when he at tended those country church sup pers. "I reckon I had to go away hun gry many a time, but 1 usually man aged to cat about twenty-eight of those i;ood old-fashioned waffles and four or five whole chickens. Some of the men declared I was nothin' but a hog, but I says to them: 'Now, see here, 'what do you mean to ad vertise the way you do If yotf can't make fcood on your aavertlsln' 1 say, let it be truthful. Don't you?" "One of my best bits of eating." said Sam. 'was the time I made $25 by eating a bushel and a half of apples hand runnin'. One fellow was kept busy takin' the cores out and two others pared. All I did was eat. And I kept all three so darn busy they didn't get no chance to view the scenery. "One time up ln Berwick I ate eighteen watermelons and topped it off with a dozen canteloupes. But such eatin' as that doesn't count much with me. It's the good old beet or puddin' or scrapple that tickles my ribs."
