Vegetarianism in the United Stat

Vegetarianism in the United States
does not discard the use of meat diet
merely because it is unnecessary or
harmful, but also because of the cruelty
inflicted on animals by their wholesale
slaughter in the catering to the meat
eating habit. This principle is fol-
lowed logically to the end, and shoes
made entirely of felt nre largely COM
ing into use among vegetarians. Not
only they claim does the use of leather
necessitate the killing of animals, but
it Is injurious rs covering for any
part OF the body, while woolen or felt
Is a natural and beneficial protection.
