TO BUY LESS MEAT.
High Price of Butchers Goods May
BE Blessing in Disguise.
Philadelphia Record.

It is probable that the high price Of meat
will not be an unmiXed evil to the Ameri-
can people. While some will simply buy
cheaper cuts of beef than those TO when
they have been accustomed. the majority
will consume less meat, which will be a
good thing from a hNgienic as well as an
economic point of view. There is no doubt
That Professor Atwater Is right i'm saying
that the average American eats too much
meat, and also there is no doubt that some
preserved meats are deleteriOus. II is the
experience of DR.. FothereiH nhe highest
English authority on Digestion that the
substitution Of legumes. such as beans and
peas. for a part Of the meat consumed by
the average person would prevent many of
the most common disorders of the stomach.
After "A century OF Investigation medical
opinion agrees with sydney Smith that half
the diseases which afiiCt mankind are Que
to a vexed duodenum or an agitated pylOris
Or. in other words. to- difficult digestion.
IT is the deliberate Judgment Of chemical
and physiological authority that the use of
preservatiVes for meat is sometimes per
niciOus. while some experts maintain that
all preservatives arc bad and produce
dyspepsia. That many potted and canned
meats contain chemicals which are not
healthful appears from a recent investiga-
ton BY the division Of chemistry of the
Department of Agriculture. The report Is
contained in Part Y of Foods and Food
Adulterations" issued by the government.
but il is not in a form TO show al a glance
what preparations are impure. Boric acid
was found in many samples of canned dried
beef and smoked beef. of 29O American
canned meat articles 60 peT cent. were
treated chemically. while of SiXty-nine inn
ported samples 40.6 per cent. contained pre-
servatives. There appears to he an enthu-
siastic adulteration of ported and deViled
goods. especially of the more expensive
grades. OF ten samples of chicken five
contained pork. Beef and pork were sub
%stituted for diseased goose livers in pate
de foie erss.
The majority of people, however, do not
regularly indulge in these articles, hut are
content with reasonably tender cuts of
fresh beef and pork which is free from dis
ease. And they Overeat. 1t is noted BY
observing medical men that when the coun-
try is most prosperous the disorders due To
impaired digestion are most numerous.
People are better nourished when the cost
of living requires them to he more careful
in the selection Of food articles and also
more careful in its cooking I'm order TO pre-
vent waste. Overeating does not mean over
nonrishment, for an excessive consumption
Of food may produce a condition i'm which
the food requires a greater expenditure of
energy for its digestion than il can supply
TO the body. The best way 20 meet the in

1t would be interesting if the WOman's
Christian Temperance Union women would
only give exact statistics once in a while.
They make startling statements, but they
are sometimes difficult to believe without
detailed figures. For instance. there was
the surprising Information given the other
day that 100, 900 women in New York city
smoke. That statement was made at one
Of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union women's meetings. 4 woman con-
nected with one of the big New York news

TO verify some of these supposedly demOral-
izing conditions. but never with success.
Occasionally a physician with a large per-
sonal and professional acquaintance who
claimed that there were utany women
smokers upon being pinned down to some
thing like exact figures would say that he
or she-knew twenty or thirty of them.
Capital is then made of one woman who is

one of the twenty or thirty, and that entire
number is small on the lists of "a profess

He looked at the turkey and smiled.

him and the Christmas holiday. IL
the minister had looked closely he

The next morning when the minister
proceeded to the coop 10 feed his

PITY was the coop-the turkey, gone.
1t was decided, OF course, that some

and abducted the turkey with malice
