Beware the Restaurant Stew
Amsterdam A Prague newspaper
relates the sad story of an artist who
found it impossible to kill himself
with a knife or a rope and waa only
able to "shuffle off this mortal coil"
finally by eating a restaurant Blew.
Tiie newspaper's account of the trag
edy is as follows:
"Tired of life at 45, the artist pro-oureo-'a
portion of a violent poison
i.nd tried to kill himself with it. In
vain he awaited a fatal effect, and on
the follow1 ig day had the remains In
the vial analyzed. It waa a 'war
war substitute' poison. He then
procured a rope and hanged himself
but 104 rope was made of paper pulp
and It broke.
"The twofold failure of his at
tempt at suicide the man regarded as
a Sign of fate, and a fresh Joy in life
inspired him. Proceeding to a res
i nt he ordered and consumed an
alleged meat stew. It was a 'war
buoatlittls stew and two hours later
he was dead."
