When Put on Vegetable Diet.

MIS- ADELAIDE Johnson on neF way nome from the
big council meeting at Berlin, attended another in
ternational meeting Of women in London. This
the annual gathering OF the International Women's
vegetarian Union. % which she is one OF the vice
presidents The annual meeting is always held IN
London for vegetarlanisr seems 20 nave strength
and position IN England undreamed of IN this
try. For instance, Lady Paset, whose husband was
for many years Ambassador at Rome. is one of the
leading vegetarians of England.
Arnold +. Hills, of the great fnanciers Of
England. has for many years given $4,000 year
For vegetarian propaganda. and what is more I'M
usual ne has for many years taken one day each
week from his immense business interests and given

Mr.. Hills who a few years ago sent Miss May
Yates around the world, as sort of vegetarian
missionary the world, TO lecture. demonstrate,
form societies and otherwise spread the gospel OF
vegetarianism

FEEDING SCHOOL CHILDREN.
For instance" said she. there is a dinner
fund from which the London Vegetarian Associa
gives MONDAY vegetarian lunches to thousands
Of school children. Last year they supplied 10j @7
such meals. The school board makes grants for
underfed children. and pays the association one
penny for each such luncheon furnished. For this
sum the association gives the child one pint OF good
vegetable soup. thick slice Of wholemeal bread
and one thick slice of currant wholemeal bread
II the child prefers pudding to soup he can have
half a pound of raisin whoIemeal pudding. The
one penny pays for the food and other expenses
paid by the vegetarians.
Here is the recipe for the vegetable soup used:
To make gallon. take one-half pound Of grains.
wheat. barley, oats. maize and rice pound OF
pulses, peas. beans and lentlls Boil all together
hard for two hours. Then add one pound OF mashed
potatoes. one pound Of mixed vegetables, turnips.
parsnips, carrots. onions etc. These should be
grated cut fine. Boil for another hour stirring
well Flavor TO taste, with butter sweet herbs.
spices. etc.
The object of the vegetarians in establishing
these lunch rooms" said Mrs johnson. ''is give
the Cnderted children Of the sums good nourishing
food for their penny luncheons. and also TO culft
vste in them the taste and appetite for vegetable

voton OF the eating 10 meat is entirely
matter Of habit. since the vegetarian races. like
the Chinese, japanese and Italians get along Just
as well without meat. 1t is the flavor and season
ing which wheat gives 10 food. the taste OF the
meat. rather than the meat itself which the meat
educated palate demands. So the vegetarians OF
England are constantly experimenting to find out
the most nutritious attractive and palatabIe forms
which rich people invited. where the most
