At one time. WI Ting-fauR admits. he
was extremely fond Of the good things Of
life. During his official life at Washing
ton he was introduced TO many insidioris
culinary creations and found them good.
IL was here. too. that he became acquainted
with the various products Of the beef trust.
BtA here It was, too, that he came under
the spell Of the charming Mrs. Hcnderson's
influence.
Tn fair advocate Of temperance gave .
her views, and she sowed good seed In the
Celestial mind. She raw that an impress
sion was being mdde and she followed up

WI Ting Fang Is In Pekin now, but the
news Of his conversion has reached Phila-
delphia in n letter written to a prominent
attorney Of this city, His Excellency
says:
You may bs surprised to hear that | have
assumed a new role, that OF a diet reformer.
The subject was brought to my atten-

Henderson Of Washington, d. c.. wife of
ex-senator Henderson, sent me her book.
In il she clearly proves that the eating Of
flesh, drinking of coffee and tea, as we'll as
of alcohol, not to say smoking OF tobacco.
are the causes of all the ills that flesh is
heir to.
After reading her book carefully and
other books on similar subjects by
doctors and experts l nave come to the
conclusion that the way we are living is
all wrong.
$50 1t will interest you to know that I
am now living on a simple diet of nuts,
vegetables, fruits, with no flesh or strong
drinks, champagne included. which as you
know l was very fond Of at one time.
Il I'm very much pleased to be able to
say that since the adoption Of this new
dietary | feel much stronger and healthier
in every respect than before.
$50 tits my intention, whenever oppor-
tunity occurs, to preach the doctrine; in
fact. l have done so to the Empress Dowa-
