I'm sorry for him. ! once knew a
young maj who was trying to do the
very hardest kind Of work-the mixed
kind, which is physical and mental,
too-on a diet that a healthy rabbit
would hesitate about adopting unless
guaranteed that the quantity would be
absolutely unlimited. This young man
would make a breakfast of a bit of
bread, a small plate of boiled rice, and
a glass of water; he would luncheon
on a small quantity of butter-beans,
or some other equally insubstantial
airy nothing, and then he would top off
the day with a piece of cake and a
cup OF tea--always weak tea, too.
Occasionally he would go on what
might be called a veritable feed
ing bat" and would wildly
dissipate on two bananas for
breakfast, boiled rice with green corn
and an apple for luncheon, and a

ates a mind picture Of canals, and in
deed that little land of dykes and
bitches is completely cut up into
small Islands by it's extensive system
of waterways. They cross and inter
lace one another like the threads of
some large fishing net. The North
Holland canal was considered, until
recently, to be the finest of the kind in
Europe. The southern part of the
country is especially favored by ma
ture, for the Rhine, entering Holland,
divides up into arms, the
chief of which are the Waal, the LEX
and the Yssel. The Mouse joins the
WAL, thus mingling it's waters with
those of the Rhine, and all Of these
rivers carry an immense traffic. Four
fifths of the river trade of Holland is
carried on the Rhine and the WAL.
The Scheldt has Its estuary mainly
in Holland and carries ocean vessels
to Antwerp.

DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.

When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong it is generally
with the food; the old Dame is always

How Vegetarianism Hurts Us
BY M. A LANE, sc. b.
Former Research Fellow in Physiology, University of Ilinols)

"lentil outlet" with two bananas for
dinner! And after this desperate
plunge into the flesh pots of Egypt
he would always feel as guilty as If
he had just robbed a safe and could
hear the police coming to take him in.
You couldn't persuade that young
man that he was slowly but certainly
killing himself. Had you stood him up
before all the psychologists of the
world, to be assured by them not only
on their reputation as men Of science,
but on their decency and honor as
men, that that sort of q diet was never
intended" by any scheme of nature or
any deity imaginable, for the human
machinery of digestion, he would prob
ably have come out of the seance with
a vague idea that somehow or other
they were just trying to fool him for
some hidden and vicious purpose of
their own.
1t would be a good thing If all men
and all women were early In their
youth put through a course Of study

and not from the book, which Is worse
than useless, not even being useless
-on the vast differences between the
digestive apparatus of the plant-eat-
ing animal and that Of the me~at-eating,
or ~omnivorous, animal, such as man.
The young vegetarian mentioned
above was very brave; as brave as
anybody could be in such circum-
stances and on such a diet, but he
would often look with longing eyes on
the steaks and chops his companions
consumed at table, while he himself
was sturdily furnishing himself with
rice and other wholly unsavory dishes.
Also he was rather dim OF eye and
not specially active on his feet or at
