thus quoted Il regret to say that
vegetarianism is fighting diet.
Mighty nine per cent Of the worlds
fighting has been done on farinaceous
food. In Trafalgar square l found it
impossible to run away as fast as the
meat eaters did. Panic is a carnivor-
Gus specially. If the army were fed
on hardy, healthy, fleshless diet We

of thing that only interests the pusil-
