am not a vegetarian. therefore
you can not accuse me Of trying to
inveigle you into any fads of my
own I indulge in everything in
moderation just to get the practice
and knowledge that I may obtain
by doing so, and 1 put that knowl-
edge into practice in my every day
work.
The question Of overeating is in
deed a serious one, and. as it is
greatly due to habit, like all habits,
we are inclined to overdo it I
have found by experience that one
pound of food is sufficient for
grown person each twenty-four
hours, and that pound should be
made up-of a variety of foods, and
change it each day 10 some extent.
! do not like to put myself for
ward as an example, but at the
same time, as am only one of the
common herd and no different from
any other human being l may be
pardoned for using myself as an
example in this particular case.
have endeavored to confine my
self. as near as can guess 1t. TO
one pound Of food each twenty four
hours l take. lots of time to chew
it well before swallowing. I have
tried to confine myself TO about
three pfnts of fluid-that includes
one cup of coffee in the morning.
I partake of a small amount Of
meat three days in the week-not
more than four ounces at a meal;
fish twice a week, and neither meat
nor fish two days Of the week.
Can Survive Without Meat.
I frequently go for a month or
six weeks without touching meat
in any form and I am sure that l
could. go for the balance of my life
without ever giving it any Thought
or consideration I lead an active
life do a great deal of physical
work and with this amount Of food
I enjoy the best Of health ] have
not varied in weight two pounds in
thirty years.
Nov. if this is the case With me,
why could not other people do the
same thing. and not worry about
the Meat Trust or the unfortunate
retail butcher? Those who are do
ing outdoor. hard, laborious work
exposed to the changes Of the
weather and the extreme cold dur
ing the winter months could in
crease the amount of food, and l
think that it would be a good thing
for them to do so, TO one and half
pounds Those who have crav-
ing for alcoholic drinks and the
ouietine effect Of tobacco would
find that with this diet the desire
for alcoholic stimulants would
greatly die out They would not
require or would not have a de-
sire for one half the amount of

they are over-eating and eating
meat, and the same would be true
in their ability TO control their
longing for tobacco.

Decomposition begins immediate
ly after death of the animal. There
are seven or eight forms of decom-
position Of flesh The first form
begins at once after the animal is
dead What is called ripe meat,
that is supposed to be fit for the
table because it is tender, is meat
that has reached the second stage
of decomposition.
