In fact, MacSwiney should live 12 days more without food and still suffer no 111 effects from his fast. It was in the winter of 1913 ana 1'.'14 that Alex Birling of Hammond, i.ative of Finland, .46 years of age, an employe of the engineer's' department on the construction of the south Jetty fasted for 60 days, merely as an ex perlment. While he lost some welgh.t, he retained his strength. His nerves, he asserted, were stronger than ever and bis reasoning powres better. During his fast Birling drank water in abundance and took occasional walks In the woods for exercise. He was an exceptionally sturdy man, more than 6 feet tall and tipped the scales at about 190 pounds. He lived alone, had few companions and his one excuse for his self-imposed fast was that he wanted to "get back to nature and find himself. His theory was that people generally eat too much and wear too many clothes and that Turner, Harry Todd, Claire McDowell, Bobby Kelso. Lillian Leighton, Willis Marks and Charles Arling.

After eating he Invariably stretched at full length, his arms thrown above his head, and lay life less for severaj minutes. He never wore a hat, while his clothing was ight and scanty, and he often slept on the ground under a tree with abso- utely no covering over him. In speak ng of his experiment in fasting Bir- ling said: 'I believe man has wandered far from nature. We are the most perfect of animals, hence should live longer than others, be stronger and more healthful than any other form of ani mal life. Not always have we had food at regular Intervals, clothes to protect us and houses to shelter us. Therefore, I determined as It were to unwind the theory - of evolution and get back to first principles; hence I did away with all artificial things and went back to primal conditions."
