RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the Leaders

The ruling nations OF the world are
meat eaters and history records that
they always have been.
vegetarians and food cranks may ex-
plain this IN any way they choose, but
the facts remain that the Americans.
English, French, Russians and Ger
mans are meat-eating nations. and they
arc also the most energetic and most

soldier, known as Biltcng. is a sort Of

history as non-progressive. superstitious
and inferior physically and mentally to
the n.eat-eating nations who dominate
them.

dicates that human beings should sub

and grains, and IL IS unhyglentc TO con-
fine ones diet to any one or those

Meat is the most concentrated ana
most easily dIgested OF foods, but our
manner OF living is often so unnatural
that the digestive organs refuse 10 prop
eriy digest meat, cBgS, and similar
nutritious and wholesome food. but 1t
is not because such food is unwhole-
some, but the real reason Is that the
stomach lacks, from disease or weak
ness some necessary digestive element; /;
hence arising Indigestion and, later on,
chronic dyspepsia.
Nervous people should eat plenty OF
meat. conva1escents should make meat
the principal food. hard-worlking people
have TO do so, and brainH or<ers and
