Lurks in thetWhite Loaf. ImgckvillG.es.sBecause he has consistently eschewed a meat diet, Charles Studehaker, who has been surnamed Easton, is robust at 64 and has walked 130, 71 miles in a little more than 26 years.“I wouldn’t eat tl?at meat if it cost only five cents a pound.” declared Siudebaker leeringly as he chopped up some butchershop offal for his dog. “Man is a vegetable-eating animal and meat is not fit iay|for him. Sometimes the butchers set mad at me because I knock on thier business, but I don’t care. Mont is for the lower animals and j who wants to be a lower animal?”| Studebaker tramped in from the west pushing his gocart before him early Friday morning. He Wheels a weight of 3Q5 pounds, including his cook stove and dog •Dan.”No Coffee or Meat.No coffee or meat ever becomes a part of Studebaker's dietary. He says they are not fit for the human stomach. The indulgent mother or ’he physician who recommends a “little meat” or a “little coffee” for the stomach’s sake Is a back number. Studebaker cuts .them both out.White bread, which has been aptly called the “staff of death” never enters Studebaker’s throat. He eats only rye bread. Cocoa and vegetables and fruits complete the pedestrian’s menu. He is a German and has some advanced ideas about foods. That he has been able to v:alk such distances during his life supports his theory that meat, white bread, coffee and the condiments which the American people are gorging themselves with are death-dealing.i a ite sheghtShen'p,atisisherralose[rs.it-thekeshat'lie?U5theiIStudebaker grinds small tools, re- iJ i; pairs watches and does small work j is?! like that.

These are kept in a large record together with newspaper clippings setting forth his travels. .This book contains the signatures of men all the way from Pennsylvania to San Francisco. Studebaker has traveled over this stretch of country two or thre^ times, always with his pushcart in front of him. He cooks his own meals and sleeps in the open.id?aseleyf?n-ofuriudrmiresapod»arndAlltoola-
