occurrences as this accentuate the
realness of the yellow peril.
I was reading recently Of re-
fined and educated man visiting
one sof our largest prisons. He
never before in all his life had
been in penal institution He
was shown everything, from kitch-
en- to dollhouse; saw the inmates
at work, the armed guards, the
grim stone walls and all the
things that go to make up the
personnel Of a prison. Never hav-
ing seen any such thing and being
refined and sensitive man,
teacher in a great university, it
all made a powerful impression on
him, and in summing up his i'm
pressions he says: 81 wish it were
possible to make it obligatory on
every young man to visit state
prison at least once. [ believe it
would do more to prevent crime
than all the penal codes in exis-
tence.
In the March Cosmopolitan
there appears most interesting
and ably written article entitled,
"Why Eat Meat?" In it the
author, who is none other than the
famous physician and surgeon John
81. Girdner goes on to point out
all the attendant evils which fol-
low in the wake of meat filled
diet. He points out that more
than one-half of the billion and
one half men and women who
make up the population of the
world never eat meat of any kind.
The Japanese eat no meat, their
sustenance is drawn almost entire
| ly from the vegetable kingdom,
yet when it comes to long marches
and hard fighting they gave bet
ter account of themselves than did
the Russians who consume
great quantities of meat. He calls
attention to one most interesting
phase of this question, one that is
unconsciously Of course, mostin-
teresting commentary on meat eat
ing, by reason of the fact that no
, man, no matter how great a glut-
ton he may be, will knowingly eat
the meat of flesh eating animal.
, Almost any man will stand for
, beef, mule or horse meat, pork, tur-
/ key or such things, but offer him
a cat, dog, lion or buzzard and
he would be wonderfully offended.
One of the strongest points he
makes is that the body of every
animal, man included, is a poison
, factory. The waste material, by
products if you please, are called
excretions, and il their elimination
r be stopped for thirty.six or forty
hours death ensues; the animal is
, killed by it's own poison. Now
conceive if you can of the vast
, amount of poison in process of ex-
cretion from the body of an OK at
any moment of it's life. When the
OK is killed all the poison remains
in the particular tissue where it
reposed at the instant the death
blow fell. Naturally when man who
, takes this beef into his system his
organs of excretion must take up
the work of getting rid of this
J poison where those of the OK left
! it. This is very evident and any
man no matter how ignorant he
may be can understand it. When

A half million for the building

duced in the house last Friday
jointly by John Zelch and 81. B..

The money is appropriated direct

half is to be available this year
and half next year. The bill pro-
vides that the work shall be done
by contract, so that it will not be
done by prison labor. The last
legislature made an appropriation
of $4,000 for the purchase of a
site and for a. stockade and for
buildings. Of this amount $751;

Rev. DR.. McCaslin, who has

at the Presbyterian church at

was present at the chapel service

Mr.. McCaslin took for his text,
"What does it profit man if he
gains the whole world, but loses
his SOUL" His sermon was a very
able presentation. The speaker
has the art of emphasis cultivated
to fine degree, and is powerful
exhorter Of the Gospel. Those
who had the good fortune to be
present at the service were pro-
foundry impressed and went away
with the feeling that the Almighty
is still on high dispensing favors
to the righteous. Mr.. Decker,
one of Mr.. McCaslin's assistants,
was also present and sang sacred
solo.
