The Vegetarian Greed.

One of the causes which have led peo-
pie to reject the doctrine of vegetarian
ism il the idea that it is inspired by
pietism, religious convictions and NOR
LITIGATION. But this is grave error, for
the rational vegetarianism of to-day is
entirely scientific and dicated by the
sole desire to follow system conform
ing to the laws of nature. Ithas science
on it's side, and only the force of habits
opposed to it. The muscles become soft,
the size diminishes, humanity degene-
rates and is kept in working order only
by sedatives and tonics. The numerous
maladies of the stomach and the intest-
ines, from simple catarrh to the most
serious diseases of the organs, are often
due to our appetite for meat and other
stimulants.
Vegetarianism. we are told by DIR.
Bonnejoy, does not consist solely in
vegetable food, but is based on three
dietetic axioms. The general rebuild
ing power lies in cereals, seeds, vegeta-
bles, tubers, fruits, eggs, milk and the
derivatives. The food, the air and in
general everything that is introduced
into the body should show absolute pur
ity, freshness and entire absence of fall
si6cations, mixture and authorizations
even in the smallest quantities. 1t is
necessary. as far as may be possible,
for each one to manufacture his foods
and drinks at home in order to reach the
desired results.
These are the principal do2mas of
the vegetarians. Man is not intended
to eat meat. His jaw is made to grind
grains and fruits. His hands are made
to gather them. The Darwinian theory
does not permit us for an instant to
doubt the frugivorous nature of man.
His intestinal canal is also proof. In
the lion this is three times as long as
the body in man, seven or eight times
as long.

LOWER the railroad rates to the
Worlds Fair is the cry that goes UP
all over the land. There has not been
year in the last five or six that rail
road rates from Kansas City to Chicago
have not been cheaper than they are al
present. The cut of rates then is sup
posed to have been advantageous to the
railroads. Cut them now and give tn.
people fair shake.

DR.. Sternberg, who organized the
theatrical company here, proved to be
bad egg. He got out of town owing
debts to the amount of about S25, part
of which, a SIG board bill at the

in getting out of him by peculisr per-
suasion, at Nickerson. The latest we
learn from the DR.. (read it debtor or
DOCTOR is that he run away from his
company" at Hutchinson, leaving
them minus salary etc. The Register
NOW has sufficient grounds for a

week making some "big talk" about
the Pope of Rome making arrange

arms are being shipped to various
