DAY OF THE VEGETARIAN.
People Are Being Driven To Adopt
. That Doctrine by the High
Prices Of Meats.

The great advance in the price of
meats is likely TO have decided in
huence on the diet of the people. For
many years there has been small but
persistent and somewhat influential
body of reformers who have insisted
that a vegetable diet was the only
healthful and hygienic method. They
have called attention TO the fact that
the steer, which forms the greatest
meat died of men, is the greatest
vegetarian in the world, and that its
flesh is food in a concentrated and
secondary form. From this they ar
que that meat is not necessary article
of food.
But the vcgetarians have made
comparatively slow progress in spread
ing their propaganda, except perhaps
i'm the latitude of Battle Creek. They
are, however, finding an unexpected
ally i'm the meat trust. That not over
philanthropic body is booming the
price of animal food TO such an extent
that people are practically forced to
adopt the theories Of the yegetarians
In Chicago, il is said, the public is
rushing to the pure food that is, the
vegetarian-cafcs.i Never since they
opened their business has il been so
prosperous as now. The originators
of the pure food theories see the op-
portunity Of their lives in the present
situation, and they are taking advan-
tage of the opening. The facilities
of their restaurants are being rapidly
enlarged.
Not only do the people come to eat,
but they also come to learn how to
prepare articles of food without the
use of meat
1t is argued, with good reason, that
if the people are once convinced that
they can live without animal food
they willcontinue the vegetarian diet
even should the price Of meats be re-
duced.
All of which goes to show the futil-
ity of the attempt Of the trusts to
put the price of their product above
what the people can afford to pay.

FOR BETTER SIDEWALKS.
No More Plank Sidewalks To BE Per-
mitted In the streets of This City.


At the meeting of the city council
last Friday evening the matter of al
lowing a rebate upon the construc-
tion of cement sidewalks i'm the city
was taken up and action taken by en-
acting ordinance No. "A, which APP
pears i'm another column of this issue
and its terms should be studied by all.
1t goes into effect June lst and the
council intends to take further action
in the near future by amending the
regular sidewalk ordinance so as to
prohibit the putting down of any
more board walks. Tar walks will be
permitted, or upon cement walks %
per cent. of the cost will be refunded
the property owner. The mayor adj
vocated making it 33lS per cent,
which is the proportion paid in many
places, and by some still larger per
centage, but the more conservative
members wanted to start in at % per
cent. and see how it worked, so it was
adopted tndl way.
The BANNER has advocated the
adoption of this plan for over two
years, with great persistency and
naturally feels pleased that at last
we have a council that recognizes the
Justice of it We have the utmost
confidence that in few years time
all our citizens will be ready to rise
up and call them blessed for this act
and they will be proud of it. In time
some changes may be found desirable.
i'm fact we think they will be. 1t
seems to us it would be better for the
city to take the matter more directly
into her own hands. If the city
should get bids upon the work, re-
curing any contractor who may sue
cesfully compete, to give good and
sufficient bond. both for the proper
execution of the work and its wear
for two or three years, better work
would most likely be secured at less
cost Under that plan also indiyid-
uals would not have to advance the
entire cost and await the return of
the city's rebate portion. However
we are not inclined to criticise, it is
move in the right direction, and we
are glad of it.
