ton in our heads that we could
please everybody; queer that we
should think so, wasn't it /? Well,
we don't think so now, in fact, we
have reason to believe that there are
some people who are not pleased
because we are selling goods so low
this summer and are making such
discounts on so many things, but

sunshine, in addition to a vegetable diet,
are the best medicines. She has prac-
ticed faith healing from early girlhood
and is credited with some remarkable
cures. One of her notions is that the
elixir of life will soon be discovered.
For the past two years Lady Paget has
been what she herself calls "a full blown
vegetarian" though she does not go to
the extreme of excluding eggs, butter
and milk from her diet and admits that
at a dinner party she is sometimes forced
to take q very small piece of fish or a
scrap Of an entree, "just to avoid being
too peculiar"
Lady Paget alleges that she was led to
adopt vegetarianism because Of the re-
voting disclosures of some papers she
read about the transportation of cattle
and slaughter houses, but says she was
also moved by the feeling that she had
no right to indulge in food that necessi-
tated any one following "a brutalizing
and degrading occupation like hat of a
butcher" vegetarians, she admits, may
be faddists and eccentrics, but "they are
invariably high minded, well disposed
people, and I believe that the practice of
vegetarianism will play an important
part in refining the masses and render
ing them less VI and brutal"
One of the corollaries of q vegetable
diet, Lady Paget says, is the ability to
bear fatigue. ''Since / have abstained
from flesh I car climb hills with great
easy and never get out of breath" An
other is that ''vegetarians have in
variably bright, clear compilations" and
still another that ''it is~ convenient when
travelling to be able to make a meal
off a piece of bread and IN apple" 1t
will not be long, she thinks, until we
come to exclude meat altogether from
our diet
