Its president. John Colpoys, to act as
delegate to the Anti-Food Trust League
to affiliate with the league will depend
upon his report
Mrs. Henderson's Opinion.
"The boycott of meat which has been
taken up 30 generally throughout the
country is a benefit in Disguise" said
Mrs. John B. Henderson, wife of former
Senator Henderson, In an interview last
night.
Mrs. Henderson has for some time been
studying what she calls 1.-The art and
science of living" She declares that meat
should not be classed among the pure
foods, since more or less Of waste prod
ucts are always contained along with its
nutritive tissue
For example," said Mrs. Henderson.
q so-called edible animal eats pure foods
which build UP tissue, but along with this
continual building process comes a con-
tinual process of casting off old tissue,
and these waste products are poisonous
We Eat Too Much.
I'm connection with this boycott for
reducing the cost Of food may also add
that we eat too much as a general thing
The science Of living. Of course, touches
many points. and that of overeating is
very important.
Prof. Chittenden's experiments with
athletes at Yale were very important In
proving that the human machine is more
forceful and enduring with a diet very
much less in quantity than Is generally
He who lives best, happiest and long
est Is he who lives on simplest of foods,
with little variety at a time and with
the avoidance of all poisons at all times
Of any kind.
II dislike the word vegetarian, as vege-
tables are secondary in Importance to the
cereals, the nut and bean families, eggs
and milk, which are the muscle builders.
Vegetables and fruits are royal access
sories. useful for other purposes.
THE one benefit / see in the building of
the Panama canal is that 1t will give us
the California and other fruits at a cheap
er rate. Six hundred million dollars may
be somewhat expensive for that, but we
shall be glad to have the world take to
fruits and pure foods generally, all the
same.
A Royal Meal.
"A royal meal at any time is a simple
cereal along with couple OF vegetables
and bit OF fruit At all the vegetable
restaurants we may find canned foods for
sale which resemble the texture and fla
yor of meat, also extracts. which may be
used in havoring sauces, and SO forth.
Il may also say that several new vege-
tartan cook books the last few years,
which are admirable, have been pub
lished
When lately in New York and while
Investigating the new foods at several
vegetarian restaurants l came across an
uncooked dish that is fine meal in it.
self and which l shall probably continue
for my breakfast all the rest OF my life.
A cereal bowl three-quarters filled with
crushed uncooked wheat Is at the time
Of eating mixed with two tablespoons Of
coarsely chopped pecan nuts. one table
spoonful OF currants and a chopped
fig. This mixture Is then well covered
with milk. Thus we have no baking pow
der, no yeast, no salt or pepper, but a
most wholesome and assimilable food fit

| For cheapness of foods I would say
! that for lettering the prices, both for the
consumer and producer, it would probably
! be better If the government could own
the public market places. SO that the pro-
Queer could sell his products first hand.
