Such an attack upon meat and fish
might suggest an adherence by the

the fact that the monthly consumption
Of vegetables includes 400 bushels OF

as little relishes on the side, there are

In slingshot time a number OF small

torture that proved so disastrous to
Goliath in the days when David fought

one Of the tiny triangles Of the city,
dealing death and destruction to the
