THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.

Also a Few Facts on the Same Subject.
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about vege-
tarianisn and many other fads along
the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the
larger cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served. and the food crank Is
in his glory. and arguments and theories
galore advanced to prove that meat was
never intended for human stomacnS.

such proportions that last year the

wool crop this year amounted to
23O, 600 pounds and the price re-
ceived was IA cents, well up toward
the top Of the market. Mr.. Butter

ration for sheep. He is inclined to
the view that it is cheaper at $15

sidered it very good, but close atten-

when-ask US" may be accepted
with results of the utmost satisfac-
ton.
