A Plea for Vegetaria n ism.

From the Detroit Free Press.
An advocate of vegetarianism says: mo
woman is too poor to afford the foods that
will aid in developing mental, physical and
moral beauty. 1 deny that the so-caled
plain living is conducive to high thinking.
What is plain living generally under
stood? Steak, potatoes and white bread.
Such diet is conducive to early death. and
productive of stomach and nervous troubles.
If people think high on this unhygienic diet,
1t is in spite of it and not because of 1t.
High thought operates through loftier things
than the carcasses of butchered animals,
starch, roots and stimulating drinks. These
things lack not only vitality and vegetable
fragrance necessary to lofty thought. aspi-
ration and action, but chemical matter
needed by nature. 1t is an old truiSm that
after dinner any favor can be had for the
asking, man is such fool when he is full
of meat and drink. Fruits travel the thirty
three feet of the digestive canal in eighty
five minutes; it takes animal food from
three to five hours"

tritious, medicinal, and being aromatic and
vitalizing, is supposed to aid in developing
physical, mental and spiritual beauty. The
teachers of expression in art think SO; the
vocal teachers say 1t will clear the voice;
vegetarian says 1t will excite muscular ac-

SUICIDES PAWN TICKETS
Brokers Commonly Reckon Them n.
Part of Their Assured Pro6ts

Part of Their Assured Profits.
From the New York Advertiser
The fact that pawnbrokers probably make
larger profits on the money they invest
than any other business led the Charity
Organization Society Of New York to estab-
fish Mont de piete of it's own, for the pur-
pose of making loans to poor persons at
reasonable rates of interest. Il has not
been a great success. There is less red
tape and exasperating questioning at a pro-
fessonal pawnbrokers, and therefore poor
folks prefer to trade with them. The pawn
brokers' plea has always been that when
the cost OF storage is added to the loss sus-
tained through unredeemed pledges but
little is left to them of the "A per cent a
year which the law permits them to exact
That part of their plea relating to unre-
deemed pledges is merely a blind to hide
their real profits. Isaac Simpson, who by
The same token is the original of the thirty
one original Simpsons in the pawnbrok-
ing trade in this city. said to a reporter:
My rule in life Is never to tell lie. What
/ make in my business Is no ones business
but my own. Yet If any man In my line
says unredeemed pledges are not the chief
source Of profit then he Is a liar.
Yes, that suicide in whose pockets were
yesterday found eighteen pawn tickets"
said Mr.. Simpson, made the man who is
sued them just that much richer A sui
eide without pawn tickets on his person is
such a rarity that We have come to credit
about 10 per cent to that source. When the
papers report that a suicide had pawn
tickets an agent of the Associated Pawn
brokers learns and reports by whom they
were issued. Such pledges are seldom re-
deemed Another curious fact about our
business is that the chance is about one In
ten that a pledge will be redeemed after
the ticket has passed from first hands. They
seem to anticipate trouble If they offer to
redeem q pledge other than our own. So
you see the pawnbroker Is about the only
one that can count on or gets richer by
men killing themselves"
