his work. And although he might not
have admitted 1t were he charged with
it, knew he was afflicted with dis
order OF the digestive apparatus that
always accompanies vegetarianism He
was, In fine, the victim of a prejudice
that left him unequal to the work he
was compelled to do, and which he was
doing at the expense Of his health,
happiness and success in the world in
which he moved.
Upon what grounds does the prac.
tice of vegetarianism rest it's claims?
The answer is, on no grounds what
soever unless it be those of the man
who has an idea" that If he looks
over his left shoulder at the moon. or
sees black cat on the thirteenth day
Of the month, he is dead sure to have
bad luck.
And yet 1t is only when 1t is ridden
to death as hobby that vegetarianism
can be charged with inanity. When it
Is practiced occasionally and for linn
tied time, and at irregular intervals, It
becomes the useful servant OF scien-
t1hc intelligence. There is "soul OF
truth In vegetarianism, as there also
may be, SO far as you or know to
the contrary, in the belief that IL you
see a black tabby on Friday the thir-
teenth, you will lose regularly at
poker for some considerable time
thereafter. This soul of truth takes us
backward bit IN the natural history
of man.
The primitive ancestors of Euro
pean races, like the savage races OF
the present time, were naturally fitted
for, and therefore needed" certain
amount of irregularity in their feed
ing. Sometimes game would be plenty,
and sometimes It would be scarce.
When It was scarce, or not to be had
at all. those primitive ancestors Of
ours were necessarily limited to
starvation diet. They were very hungry,
and their hunger made them keen on

the hunt, active, bright-eyed, alert, Wig
orous and pushing, Then, with a
successful kill, there would naturally
be a little gorging of meat. followed
by a long and lazy rest.
Now, while we, their descendants,
are not quite as savage or quite as I'M
provident as were our primitive fore
fathers OF the jungle or the prairies,
and while 1t is true that we are not
distressed with alternate scarcity and
redundancies Of food, we inherit the
stomachs and the general digestive ma
chinery OF those active old fathers OF
ours, and a reasonable degree Of alter
nate gorging and starving is good for
US. Unfortunately. however, most Of
US have to attend te business year In
and year out, and we cannot lie idle
around the woods digesting off our
gorges, whereas fasting is not to be
thought Of by persons who work at
occupations very different from hunt
ing.
But we can do this: We can cut
down, or cut out, our meat diet at ir-
regular and fairly frequent intervals;
go without meat altogether for a week
or SO; be vegetarians, not regularly,
but quite irregularly. for short lengths
of time. And then when we give
meat its inning. We will be better pre-
pared to appreciate it, and to extract
from it the health and happiness we
need.
The vegetarian Is therefore here

! Owing to the level condition OF the
country, the construction of canal
in Holland involves but comparatively
canals are used constantly as substi-
tutes for public highways, and in the
winter their frozen surfaces offer con-
ven1ent roads for the skaters who
throng them on their way to and from
market and about their various occu-
pations So complete is the canal
system that by means of it a resident
OF Rotterdam could breakfast at Delft
or The Hague, dine at Leyden and
sup at Amsterdam, or return to his
home before nightfall. Since not only
the surface but the beds of many Of
Hollands canals are above the level Of
land. the drainage is of the greatest
| Importance. This is effected by means
OF pumps worked by the windmills
that are such a characteristic feature
! of the Dutch landscape. The banks Of
the canals are maintained by the fam
lilies that live along them. each being
assigned a portion to keep in repair.
Emory r. Johnson. professor Of
transportation and commerce In the
University Of Pennsylvania, who re.
Gently made study of European wa
terways. as the special representative
Of the National River and Harbor con-
gress, calls attention to the way in
which Germany, France, Holland and
Belgium have co-operated in estab-
fishing standard dimensions for their
canals and barges, and connecting
their systems. In this manner the
through shipment of international
traffic has been facilitated. Another
feature of the waterway policy Of
these European countries" he says,
sis that care is taken to provide wa
terWays with adequate terminal and
harbor facilities, and to make such
physical connections between rail-
roads and waterways at all inland
harbors as to guarantee the easy aud
economical transfer of traffic from
cars to boats and water to rails. 1t is
realized that terminal facilities and
rail connections are as essential part
of the projects for making waterways
useful as are reliable channels of ade-
quate width and depth. The Rhine
river, for instance, has 81 harbors
equipped as fully as commercial needs
require, with storage and transfer ia
cilities. At 10 of these terminals the
direct transfer. of goods from trains
to boats and river to rail IL possible.
Many of the harbors include large
basins, some Of which are used for
the transfer and storage Of commodi-
ties, while others are constructed to
enable big industrial plants to locate
on water frontage. Each city con-
structs Is own harbor with but little,
If any, aid from the state, the expense
being borne by the city, aided in some
instances by private interests"
