Fox was still in a nervous condi
tion Thursday when reporters were
admitted to his cell compartment,
but he said he had slept better. He
refused to discuss the case in any
particular, referring all questions to
his attorneys. former Governor
Hugh Dorsey and Frank A. Hooper,
Sr.
Meanwhile, the defense continued
its examination of Fox’s sanity, with
Dr. Edgar D. Shanks completing
his analysis of the fluid taken Tues

of tjie prisoner’s spinal column. Dr.
Linton Smith, the Fox family physi
cian, and Dr. Newdigate W. Owens
by, specialist in mental disorders

Mr. Lynn, who ' a y ear
has given years of
study to the subject, further states, “I
am convinced that hens loaf in the
winter and after the moult because cer
tain elements are missing in the feed which
are needed to keep the generative organs in
a healthy laying condition. Furthermore, I
demonstrated that these missing elements
could be easily supplied by adding certain
mineral elements to the drinking water,
thus insuring a plentiful supply of eggs at
highest prices.”
Thousands of poultry raisers praise the
work that Mr. Lynn is doing, and letters
pour in on him every day. For instance,
T. E. Asher, of Naylor, Mo., writes, “Be
fore using Mr. Lynn’s secret I was getting
only one egg a day, the next week I got
194 eggs.”
Mr. Lynn is glad to help any poultry raiser
