BY Edmund Vance Cooke, Poet,
Humorist, Lecturer.

December 81, 1892, I stopped the
eating of meat for one month, as
an experiment.
The experiment has continued for
over 13 years, and not for a day, or
meal, have 1 had any inclination
''to return to the flesh pots"
The prohibition set and consist.

fish, flesh and fowl and any foods

soups made with meat stock and
pastries made with lard, cottolene,

cheese.
Many people, most of them never
| having tried it, have said to me:
ooh, could never get along
without meat!" Perhaps the paral-
lei is not a fair one, but I have
heard many man say the same
thing of tobacco and whiskey. Meat
eating Is a habit. Meat contains
no food value which is not read

sources without loss of strength,
energy or gustatory pleasure.
l am not beautiful.
l am not big.
But as I had attained my full

my lack of these respects can fairly
be charged to my present diet.
The important point is that l am
perfectly healthy. 1t ISIS becomes

WASHINGTON, June 14.-They

Geo. A. Converse, chief of the bur-
