other day that the history Of the world
shows that the Defeating peoples of

this ia striking way by quoting some
statlstios from English and American
authorities, which allowed that In the
United States the average consumption
OF beef by each individual waa l21
pounds per annum; in Great Britain,
los poundsi France, "a pounde; Ger.
many, 60 ponuds; Scandinavia, 81

20 pounds. 1t will thus be seen tina /
the two great Eaglish speaking peoples
OF tho world, the foremost in empire
and civilization, are the largest beef

Of the earth,
