The political evils Of war are almost
as weighty as the moral. Probably no
Government in modern times has been
able to carry on serious contest that
has not been attended with extrava-
gance and dishonesty. At any rate,
the United States has never been able
to do so. From the time that the sol

Forge on account of inefficient supply,
service and dishonest contractors, down
to the purchase Of army transports and
''embaImed' beef in 1898, profusion
and peculation have invariably attend

MEAT NOT lNDISPENSABLE
TO PROPER DIETING.
Man, as Hio Teeth Show, is an
omniverous Animal Of Amazing
AdaptabiIity.

The vegetarian has done US service
in exploding the superstition that meat
is an Indispensable item in complete
diet. His experience and that Of vari-
Gus peoples, such as the Japanese, has
indeed taught the teachable that the
indispensable article of diet does not
exist In this country we are apt to
think of milk as Indispensable; vet the
Japanese have not used it possessing
very few cows, or, indeed, domestic
animals Of any kind), and only now is
the Japanese soldier being compelled
/ to drink milk and eat much meat-for
neither of which, we are told, has he
any liking.
Indeed, the great lesson which all
must learn who do not wish to become
faddy about their food is that man, as
his dentition shows is an omnivcrous
animal Of amazing adaptability. When
hard put to it he can make living out
of almost anything; and after time
he can even begin to convince himself
that he is better off as he is. This is
the reason why all these mutually con-
Trajectory food faddists can co-exist.
All are right-particularly and wrong
universally.
If men were designed to live on one
particular standard diet such as, each
food faddist thinks he has discovered
they would have simple, straightfor-
ward digestive apparatus, calculated
to deal with such a diet without undue
complexity or Overlapping" On the
contrary, our digestive apparatus is
like our teeth, Enthusiastically ON
niverous. Pepsin isonly one of at least
dozen different ferments, some of
which can only act in an alkaline
medium, others only in an acid medium.
others only in the presence of such and
such body, others only in its absence.
This extraordinary, complex apparatus
was not constructed to provide prob
lens for Psychologists nor to consume
superfuous vital energy. Its plain
meaning-if people were on the look
out for meanings-is that the more com.
pick, adaptable and varied the appar-

SHARK HUNTING I'M SAMOA

Sharks, the very name of which
strikes terror to our Northern hearts
are most fearlessly attacked and killed
by Samoan fishermen.
First, the native throws quantity Of
refuse into the sea, The shark sights
the feast. and the crafty fisherman
watches it gorge until completely salts
fed He then dives boldly into the
water, fastens moose around tho
sharks tail, rises to the surface and
regains his place in the canoe, or on
the coast, as the case may be.
Several men then take hold Of the
rope and the big man-eater is hauled
out of the water. OF course, once in
while, an accident occurs; but, as a
rule, the shark fisher pursues the "eyen
tenor of his way" as peacefully as our
men who go downtown to the Office"

Instances are not lacking where pig
cons, with all their lightning change
developments, have been found too
slow for the purposes of the type de-
sired, and the fancier has altered
nature, says a writer in Country Life
in America. There have been occa-
sions when the beak of the Almond
short-faced tumbler and the lower man
dibIe of the Turbit were thumbed back
and pulled down to give a diminished
beak and the overhang of the brow.
The bird is then yoiceless and cannot
express pain. And Dragons, whose
glory is the regular waiting OF the
beak and the round and even cere of
the eye, are sometimes massaged,

wanted q boat. and one that would

upon 1t was not to his liking, and SO
this entirely original affair was pro-

value, except as kindling wood. but the
making and sailing Of similar boats
afforded many an hours entertain

way to build the boat was to find q
