Eating in a hurry and when one Is
tired ruins the texture Of the skin.
There is no sUrer register Of the con-
dition OF the digestive organs than the
complexion.
The women who read eagerly about
the latest cosmetics are wasting their
time If they do not, first Of all, under
stand that the secret of a clear skin
and healthy color lies within them
selves-that is. in the whole alimentary
tract
I think that I am safe in asserting
that, all conditions being equal, the
woman with a perfect digestion is the
one with a good complexion, and the
converse is also true. To have the di-
gestiJn good. one must not maItTeat it.

EST those who have never lent
an attentive ear to the argu-
ments pro and con Vegetarianism
- might think we bestOw too much
time and thought upon the matter, let
me saw that the letter which follows this
preface IS but one Of many remon-
strances TO the like effect received since
the publication Of the article supporting
a strictly vegetarian diet by passages
from the Bible.
The first page of the communica-
ton selected from the pile of matter
before me is a repetition Of texts print
sd here several years ago.
The writer continues;
Leviticus, chapter eleventh, is taken
ID by Instructions from Jehovah to his
people Israel Is 20 what manner Of flesh
may be eaten and what avoided.
The fourteenth chapter of Deuteron-
oIny is wholly given 10 the words OF
Moses embodying a repetition of the d.
vine law upon this same separation OF
clean from unclean flesh foods.
In the sixteenth chapter Of Exodus we
have the provision of quail for food and
we are told just when it may be eaten.
In the fifteenth chapter of Acts. verse
twenty-ninth, the apostles instruct new
converts 10 abstain from meats offered
TO idols "and from blood and from
things strangled.' There is no mention
OF meat as unciean ana un-ChrtSttan.
And now. my vegetarian friend. let me
add that I am not "a meat eater, as
the term is understood in its narrow
sense. But my family. including myself.

In Montana.

For six months we have been living in
Montana, where everything, from pol
ties to provisions, smells OF money. The
family consists Of my husband, myself
and two children. a boy of thirteen and
a girl OF ten. The children come home
from school starved are sad in the
morning until they are fed and posi-
lively unchristian when obliged TO wait
for dinner upon their return from sun
day school. In short. they have the
normal ten and thirteen-year-old appe-
titles
All Of us are well nourished, yet here.
where eggs are 50 cents per dozen,
bananas. 40 cents; 'spuds," cents a
pound. and so on-my family was fed
during August for Sl1.50 per week; in
September Tor $3.50, and in October for
$50 per week. We have wholesome
food and something good" at each
meal. Fruit and fresh vegetables we
have daily; cornmeal, graham, and
whole wheat -four we use freely. Apples
are always where any one can get
them, and so were grapes in the sea-
SON
Al the end Of October I had on hand
potatoes enough to last a month. and
vegetables, homemade jelly, canned
fruit, and pickles to last much longer.
We eat meat in moderation and use but
little tea and coffee. This is not from
motives Of economy. We use creamery
butter. and rather lavishly, sparing it
not in seasoning and at table Our milk
costs s.. per week. IT would be more
did not the children fancy that ii tastes
of sage brush.
I do not think thS proper. place for
economy is in the feeding of a family,
but / do think that by careless, thought
less buying and cooking a lot of money
may be used without practical adyant-
age to anyone. 1 believe that two people
may be pretty well fed-when prices are
reasonable-On 81 a week.

like TO have your views as 10 what /
