Editor The Evening Journal.
Many OF us have no doubt scoffed at
the man who has come out with the
statement that he is healthier and feels
better by not eating meats. He calls
himself a vegetarian We have called
him a fool, and have asserted that il
is utterly impossible TO become strong
and healthy unless we eat a certain
amount OF meat every day. But this
illusion has been dispened. Professor
Irving Fisher, Of Yale, is the man who
has stirred up the whole country by
coming forth with the statement that
meat is not necessary to maintain the
strength Of the human body and he has
facts to prove his statements. For six
months he conducted experiments on
number OF students attending the
university. His primary object was to
find out IL there was not greater power
In well chewed food, but at the same
time II developed that his subjects af-
ter following his advice, gradually fell
away from eating meat, and at the end
of the experiment Of meat abstention
the men were stronger and in better
physical condition than when Il began.
even though they practically led seden-
tary lives. Professor Fisher also dis
covered that the men, by thorough
mastication OF their food, developed
certain taste that was enjoyable to
them They ate anything they want
ed; there was no dieting The import
ant discovery Of the experiment was
that the men, by thorough mastication
lost a desire for meat, and that their
taste tended towards cereals. nuts and
vegetables. And now will the meat
eaters take a back seat and think this
over? Respectfully,

The Georgetown Union Republican thinks
there should be four terms of court each year in
Kent and Sussex countless the same as in New
Castle. 1t points out the hardshps Of the
twice-a-year term and shows how it is possible
for an innocent man who cannot furnish bail to
remain for five months in prison at an expense
to the county and a great hardship for himself.
Probably the twice-a-year court was because in
the past there has been so little criminal business
in the lower counties OF late the importance of
the criminal courts there has increased, and an
agitation for more frequent terms will doubtless
produce results.

It is stated that City Council hopes to end the
fiscal year without large deficit We trust this
will be true. Councils finances under the Dem
ocratic administration were woefuy juggled and
the Republicans have had hard task before
them to keep up the financial stability OF the city.
Two departments under Democratic control, the
Street and Sewer Directors and the Water Board,
are in a financial plight. An investigation OF their
conduct might not be out of order.
