"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."
CAT ARRHVANISHES
Here li One Treatment That All Suf
ferer* Can Rely Upon
If you want to drivo catarrh and I
all its disgusting symptoms from
your system in the shortest possible
time, go to your druggist and ask
for a Hyomei outfit today.
Breathe Hyomei and it will rid
you of catarrh; it gives such quick
relief that all who use It for the
Ilrst time are astonished.
Hyomei is a pure pleasant anti
septic, which is breathed into the
lungs over the inflamed membrane;
It kills the catarrh germs, soothes
the sore spots, and heals all in
flammation.
Don't suffer another day with cat
arrh; the disease is dangerous and
often ends in consumption. Start
the Hyomei treatment today. No
stomach dosing, no sprays or
douches; Just breathe It —that's all.
Ask H. C. Kennedy.
