Lost 28 Pounds in Weight—Testing
Health Theory.
After fasting since May 30, during
which time he tasted nothing but
water, Dr. I. J. Eales of Belleville,
I11., broke his abstinence by partak-
ing of a small quantity of malted
milk. His fast was instituted to test
his theory that total absinence from
food for a period is heneficial to
health. = After taking the malted
milk he said he would fast 24 hours
longer. to ascertain what
nourishment would have upon his sys-
tem. :
Beginning his fast at 192 pounds,
Kales has lost 28 pounds. His chest
measurement has been reduced from
43 to 40 inches, his waist from 44 to
24 inches. He lifted a man weighing
225 pounds to demonstrate that . his
strength has not been diminished.

YALE WINS BOAT RACE
Harriman Violates Orders and Is
Taken Into Custody.
Jofore the largest crowd that
witnessed a race on the Thames
river, the Yale crew, at New London,
Conn., rowing on an average of four
strokes to. the minute less than Har-
vard, held the big Cambridge eight
even until the last half mile, when the
blue let out their speed and won a
magnificent contest by a
length. Yale's time for the four miles
was 21 minutes and 10 seconds; Har-
vard’'s 21 minutes and 13 seconds.
The race was accompanied by one:
disagreeable incident. This was the
arrest of E. H. Harriman, the railroad
magnate, by Lieut. Billard, President
Roosevelt's naval aide. Lieut. Bil-
lard, who was in charge of the reve-
nue cutters, had warned avery boat
owner not to follow the race. The
big. varsity = struggle had: scarcely
been started when Mr. Harriman, in
a powerful motor boat, started to fol
