More people suffer from eating
too much meat than from eating too
little. The vegetarian may be a
crank, but he has taught the world
that more vegetables and less meat
is a much more hygienic diet than
that INDUCED in by the families
who must have meat three times
day. People who eat much meat
should have great deal of physical
exercise.

When Governor Taft, of the Phil
ippine Islands, was in St. Louis he
spoke of the excellent music render
ed by some of the native Filipino
bands. In all probability, st. Louis
will have an opportunity of hearing
one of them in 1904. President
Francis has received a number of
letters suggesting the ACCESSIBILITY
of securing an orchestra or band
from Manila. One gentleman
strongly recommends the 1st. Unit
ed States Infantry Band, composed
largely of native FilipinOs. Hesays
that it has a high standard of must
cal excellence and possesses a library
comprising everything that is latest
and best in music. The Tagalo, Wis
cayan, nocano and Panpangan
tribes are represented. ''These ma
tives," he adds "are all first class
musicians and play large variety
