LONDON, Dec. 9.--Fletcherism aud
vegetarlansm, one meaning the chew r.
ing of meat and other the eschewing
of it, have done much to cause the
butcher to grumble, but the latest cult
of the well-to-do whose digestion has
been impaired by too many dinners is
quite enough to drive the worthy pur-
Veyor of meat frantic with rage. Nuts
now form the festive diet Of many peo-
pie who find that French chef IS
superfuous. Even the festive vege-
table and outlet is considered made
quate for the purposes of the advanced
diner.

"The growth of quack dog doctors

usually are dog dealers with a good
knowledge of canine habits. but in
absolute ignorance of medicine. One
of their favorite remedies is ground
glass mixed with linseed meal or
treacle and made into pills. This
remedy. which is a survival Of medic
val practice, cannot possibly do any
good and generally sets up acute irri-
