Meat Eating Nations Are the Leaders in

The ruling nations Of the world are
meat eaters and history records that

the facts remain that the Americans.
English French, Russians and Germans
are meat eating nations, and they are
also the most energetic and most pro-

sarded since the dawn Of history as non
progressive, superstitious and inferior
physically and mentally to the meat
eating nations who dominate them.

dicates that human beings should sub

and grains, and 1t Is unhyglenic to con-

INDIAN SUMNER.
A Season Of Delightful Weather That
Usually Marks the Advent Of Winter.

During the past week we have
been passing through that de.
llghUful season known as Indian
summer. AS a general rule, it
has the same effect upon human
ity as the spring time. 1t Ger.
tainly does inspire what is known
as "that tired feeling" and one
has great desire to go off into
the country and spend days with
out worrying about any of the
practical affairs of life.
1t is a rather disagreeable
time, however, and many colds
that last all winter date from the
time when warm weather of the
Indian summer is responsible
for jackets beng discarded and
lightweight clothing worn.
The name "Indlan summer"
was given to the season by the
colonial fathers, who attributed
the haze, with its blue smoky tint
and the redness of the sky, to
the Indians, who, they claimed,
burned over the Western para.
ries at this time. In Canada the
season is called st. Martin s sum-
mer.
1t has never been decided what
is the true cause of this phenom-
enon, which occurs in all parts of
the continent.

Miss Long had brought with them
musical instruments, and played
much to the delight of those pres
ent. AT four o'clock the company
gathered around the table laden
with sumptuous repast, and did
Justice to those who had prepar-
ed it.
After supper was over the lit
tie company gathered and had
some more music. Then there
was some singing, and the occas-
ion closed with a fervent prayer
for the recovery of the health of
the afflicted one. The company
then dispersed, glad for the oc-
casion.
