any n all amman diet, Claiming many
understandable points in his favor. III
mention but a few Of them:
ID The eating OF animal foods
creates animal instincts and propensi-
ties. V~egetarians are mild as com
pared with meat eaters.
How about the Polynesian warrior?
He is ferocity %personiied, yet his diet
consists, largely, of plantains. On the
other hand, the Eskimo Ia most peace
full race subsist almost wholly upon
meats and blubber.
Again, the Chinese pirate is a vege-
tartan, but he would Ira and quarter
his own mother for W yen.
CD The eating of meat clogs the
system with uric acid, producing rheu-
matism, ETC., etc.
There is no gain, however, in chang
ing to a vegetable diet, because the
vegetables that are substituted ior
meat Chose furnishing the protein-tae
beans, peas and l~entils) contain KAN
thin, a substance closely allied to the
uric acid in meat and producing the
same results.
CD Cheese Is tabooed by vegetarians
and Is, therefore, omitted from the bill
of fare. | asked the proprietor OF the
leading vegetarian restaurant OF the
Pacific coast if he would serve us
cheese, inasmuch as he did not object
to milk, butter and eggs. NO. said
he, 1T Is too indigestible."
How inconsistent. If this were true
thon he should, for the same reason.
exclude beans, nut butter and many
other staple articles found on every
vegetarian CD bill Of fare. The fact
is cheese is difficult to digest, but not
indigestible; beans are not only diff
cult to digest, but a large percentage
(cellulose) must pass through the en-
tire alimentary tract wholly undi-
gested.
Cheese is an excellent substitute for
meat, never overtaxes the digestive or
cans if masticated thoroughly (not
swallowed in chunks), and is n OF
the greatest muscle makers to be found
in a dietary of pure foods. OF course
the cheese merely furnishes the mate
rial (28 per cent. protein) OF which tns
muscle is made, and 1t remains for
you to utilize it.
4.) Vegetarian animals are stronger
than those that eat meat. lis claim
is frequently put forth by the vege-
tartan enthusiast.
Are they? Compare the strength
land also the agility of the horse,
camel. OK and elephant with that of the
lion. Not one of the former a carry
its own weight, whereas the latter "a
flesh eater) can vault a six-fOOt fence.

own weight.
90 Well" says the vegetarian,
animals living on vegetable diet are
milder Gf not %stronger) than those
living on flesh. H%erbivorous animals
will not harm any one"
1t is a we'll known fact that no
meaner, more treacherous or more
dangerous animals exist than the
rhinoceros and wild buffalo. And the
angered bull is as fierce as any of the
ca%rnivOra.
Summing up the pros and cons of
ye~getarianism and mixed diet; careful
and without prejudice weighing the
one over against the other, | think va
may safely conclude that it is not alto
gether the kind of material that enters
being. but the kind of being that
no material enters.

put the head on top. 1t is the king
and ruler. and all beneath it should be
subservient to it. A body without
mental and spiritual control is like a
ship without a rudder.
| am O arguing in favor Of meat,
against the faddist with his one
sided diet. l eat but little meat, and
hat little very seldom; am fond OF
very few vegetables, but partake
freely Of cheese and eggs as a good,
substitute for the meat. |

If you are perfectly satisfied lin

The late Herbert Spencer, after ex-
,erimenting for nearly a year, became
discouraged in trying to subsist on
