than pound of meat from the flank
which does not cost half the price
OF course, fully understand that
every man in comfortable circunl-
stances is not going to dine every day
in the week on cheap material, and l
wish to impress upon you, if possible,
that in this republic, where we cannot
always understand the difference be-
tween liberty and license, we have
heavy responsibilities resting upon us
As guardians of the poorer people.
"If the rich use sirloin steak every
day in the year, the poor man feels
that he is rather injured if he does
not dine, also on sirloin steak. If we
have sirloin steak to-day, it may cost,
perhaps, n dollar or dollar and a
half; tomorrow let us use a more
economical piece and even up the
bills. The people who live on what
they call the fat of the land usually
show it. They are lily fed; they may
carry heavy corporations, but this is
rather mark of disease, or they may
be thin and anaemic and pale. Both
are fed equally bad.
"There is one little fact which !
wish to impress upon my hearers
There is not well fed man behind
the prison bars in the world. Men
who are overfed are there, to be sure
usually for forgery; the man who
commits crimes of various characters,
petty or otherwise, are thin, cadaverous
individuals, never having studied the
first law of life. There is another
thought l would like to leave with
you, that a vegetarian, so called-a
person who has an idiosyncrasy against
the use of meat-has nine times out
of ten a stomach small, lacking the
proper amount OF digestive secretions
for meat, and for this reason alone
they dislike meat.
SOMETHING ABOUT MEATS.
elf children are born from parents
of tirst-class they will be vegetarians
from natural causes. When you find

you may make up your mind that
there is some arrangement of the in.
ternal organs, for nature Graves a
variety.
"On examination after death the
vegetarians and their children have
exceedingly small stomachs, while
their intestines are three to five feet
longer than the average human being.
"The Americans, who are an ex.

The animal by eating vegetable foods

and We, by eating this living tissue, can
at once get the best without doing the
actual work our selves. In the old
countries where people live at very
slow pace where no one is in a hurry
and where they have plenty of time
for digestion they can eat vegetable.
and they can take the time to digest
and convert them into living tissues
for themselves. But where a mar

people to do in four, as we do il
America, he naturally turns to meat
Whether this is the proper thing to dc
or not / doubt, but it seems to ME the
best way we know at present. By
eating a pound of beef, no matter how
expensive, we get more nourishmen
in form of repair food than from, per
haps, four or five pounds of vegetables
81 have chosen tonight a very in
ferior piece of meat. The skirt steak

animal in the flank, it has very littl'

81 cannot think of any piece o
meat in the whole animal that is 81
devoid of nourishmens as the tender
loin. You will never find an epicur,
or butcher eating tenderloin steak
He uses the sirloin. Why? Becaus,
