I presume that the women by not braiding their hair will save a lot of time, too. There will be no cooking to speak of. We will live on nuts and fruits. When fruits are not in season we will have to eat vegetables. But a student of nature can see that man was never mean to use anything but produce from the trees. Our walking upright shows that we were meant to reach up for edibles. If we were built like cows, then we might be expected to feed from the ground. Besides, there la very little effort required In raising fruit and nuts. "Each colonist will be allowed to raise what he pleases. For example, I personally desire to raise oocoanuts.

HERES THE SIMPLE LIFE COLONY PLANNED BY G. H. IN MEXICO. AN-DE- No Clothes Will Be Worn by Followers Says Life Will Be a Dream Instead of a Nightmare. Little or New York. A "Simple Life Par- adise Colony," where men, women and children will go about naked and Where the men are never to cut their hair or beards, will be started this fall near Vera Cruz, Mexico, by Gustaf H. Ander, well known in the socialist and anarchist circles In this city. More than 60 persona have become his followers and have promised to sail for the tropics when he does. Mr. Ander is spreading "simple life thoughts and "paradise breezes," giving the plans for this unique colony, throughout the country, and expects by September 1 to collect at least 500 colonists who have the same free Ideas that he has. When we get down to Mexico we GIRLS TO SACRIFICE SCALP. will get rid of all the clothes that we Mr. Ander said. "Of course, can, some of us will hold on to a few bits, naturally. But before long, when we have all become pure in heart, we will have no need for even fig leaves. A person, I have observed after careful study, is always more healthful when he allows the air to circulate over skin, and we intend to turn out the healthiest, happiest human beings in the world. What good does all this clothing we wear do? Your body is now so choked up the other man? We have developed to the degree that we can get along without depending on lower creatures, such as horses, cattle, pigs, and chickens, for support. No, we will not even have cows; at least, that is our present view, for every drop of milk we take means robbing so much from the calf. Tobacco and liquor may be used if any one wishes them. But people will become so clean lived when they get close to nature that theyll not want stimulants. I am making an attempt to get Borne inebriate millionaires to go down south with us, so they may become respectable human beings. "Our colony will be located probably near Vera Cruz, where there are acres available. The site Is on the banks of a navigable river and the gulf of Mexico Is close by. James Eads How, the millionaire hobo, Is among those Interested In Anders scheme. Mr. Ander la a Swede and was a government clerk In with starched clothing that fresh air cannot get to it. Then, too, there will be an enormous saving of time by not making clothes and the hours that would be consumed in that occupation can go to developing ourselves aesthetically." For more than two years Mr. Ander allowed his hair to grow so that he shall be supremely fit for the colony. His beard falls to his waist and his hair, when unrolled, to the middle of his back. All of our men will refuse to cut either their beards or locks," he continued; it is an Insult to the laws of Sweden. 50,-0- BOOMING KNOX FOR PRESIDENT Will Contribute Skin and Hair to Aid Unfortunate Fellow Worker. New York. So that Miss Catherine Oorman, cashier In a department store In Brooklyn, may come out of the hospital with a full head of hair, more than a hundred department store girls will sacrifice from a qua ter to one inch of scalp each, with long, flowing locks attached. Miss Gorman's hair caught In a cash register May 15 and most of It was pulled out by the roots. Physicians at the hospital at first suggested a wig as the best means to cover the bare spot on her head, hut she objected to this and It was decided that the grafting process Bhould be tried. Her friends in the store readily consented to supply the necessary pieces Girls with hair nearly the , of scalp. color of Miss Gormans will be the first to make the sacrifice, but the physicians say It will be Impossible to get all the hair alike. So after the new scalp has healed they will dye the hair any color Miss Gorman may desire. It is expected that it will take a year to complete the operation, as only small portions of the new scalp will be put on at a time. As soon as one piece begins to root another of the same size will be taken from another volunteer, and so on until the eperation Is completed. BASEBALL Judge WINS HIM VOTE.
