We have often wondered why so many people, at so great a risk, tij to swim across the English channel, but the Elkhart Truth has figured that it's for the same reason that the chicken tries to cross the road In these reckless flivver days.

Cortland Mon Form Orgmmation To Introduce Bill to Prohibit Gluttony When Next General Assembly Meets

Portland, Aug. 19. —It Is said upon what appears to be u good authority that ten Portland men this week took to form an organization which they expect to become state-wide within u few months. The purpose of the organization Is to advocate, agitate, and Introduce a bill into the next General Assembly prohihtUng gluttony, defending such practices, making It a misdemeanor under the law, and setting forth a proper punishment in each and every ease. At first glance this seems to" be a poke or a direct blow at Individual liberty. But these men are perfectly sincere and declare such legislation is in line with legislation already pasted and proposed. They cite numerous cases where death has been caused by gluttony, among these being the recent death of \l'. J. Hryan. Such practice Is noticeartle, and noticabie among older people, and they claim many noted men have died a premature death because of their unrontrollabie appetite. They further assert that where death does not take place the victim of gluttony suffer great torture, making not only their own lives miserable, but affect ing those of their family and acquaintances. Stomach trouble, they declare, is very common, the bulk of the practice of most physicians being made up iof victims of stomach troublp, due directly to gluttony. Many specia lists treat nothing hut such cases and there ate numerous sanitariums over the country where such patients are given teratmenti Dally (wipers and magazines are full of cures for dyspepsia. showing that the habit of gluttony numbers its victims ay the thousands They declare the practice a'Tuenace. It is admitted that the real purpose of the proposed bill is to draw atten tion to the dangers of darical legisiaion that has to do with curtailing per sonal liberty. They expect to fight the proposed anti-tobacco bill by in troducing a bill, which they claim is no more nonsenical than the anti tobacco bill. If one's personal habits regarding any certain article can be regulated, so can one's personal habits regarding another article be regulated. Which may be good as law goes nowadays. Twenty-five cents will admit any me into the new oiganization, all mem bers taking a pledge to work for such
