What About Leather?

The question is frequently asked ::
What is a vegetarian community to use
instead of leatherr OF course substitutes
would have to be found. At present, az
hides are waste product, there is no
need to seek further, but when they be-
come scarce other substances will GER
tainly take their place. Other things
have already begun to compete with
leather. Formerly the doublet and
breeches and even bottles were made Of
that substance. Now we use cloth for
bookbinding and other purposes and
may have artificial leather boots. De-
mand always stimulates invention and
production. It may therefore be safely
predicted that to make ample provision
for our clothing, even under a vegetarian
regime, is task not beyond the re-
sources Of civilization. We may be sure
that if we have followed nature thus far
and trusted her for our greater wants
she will assuredly not fail us in these
lesser things. Westminster Review.
