MEAT TRUST AND WAR

Editor Day Book:-What vegetar-
ianism with all its variations could
not accomplish, the meat trust has
done, it has driven the people against
their WILL, for the better, to consider
the question of diet, and vegetarian
isms's foremost enemies are admit
ting by degrees that meat diet, not
only from humanitarian standpoint,
but scientifically considered, is an
abomination and a curse to mankind.

the girls would only use little COM
mon sense how many would slip.
Take a girl who goes to a dance
hall alone and stays until a. m. She
looks the boys over to see who can
afford to take her home. She wants
some one that spends something be-
sides the evening. And if he buys
he is called a sucker and if he don't
dead one. So the young man, not
to be dead one, goes his limit with
his capital, the girl finds him to be
a live wire and starts to play him.
His salary soon becomes insufficient
and in order to keep up the showing
starts in to find an easy way to make
more. money. Sometimes he steals
from his employers and sometimes
works nights bending the pipe. But
sooner or later he is caught and then
our great criminal doctors send him
to prison to cure him-maybe.
Then sometimes he shows the girl
the easy way to make money to take
care of two. The girl takes chance,
is found out, shifts the blame on the
man, and two lives that may have
turned out to be a credit to their peo-
pie are lost forever, whereas if the
girl had not led the man on and had
not craved for high life this might |
never had happened.
This story may start an argument. |

which is 100 years ahead of it's near

kindly publish the letters.-Thos.

SEA SERPENT
SEEN AGAIN

While out rowing Monday evening
near the point south Of the Chautau-

declare they saw the ssea serpent"
that has been talked about so much
before. While these parties do not
care to have their names mentiond in
connection with the matter, after q
careful investigation, and an inter-
view with these well known p:ople,
W. have no hesitation IN ,a; i:.s that
they saw very peculiar animal or
fish in the lake. When they first dis
covered it their boat was within ten
rods Of it and as it raised its head
above the water they had splendid
view and were all able to describe its
head as being over two feet long and
very broad and with a snout on it
something like an alligator, but much
wider. The main portion Of the body
was not exposed to view but the tail
was also out of the water and to the
pest OF their judgment the animal was
about 20 feet long.
The gentleman who was rowing the
boat was well known doctor and
was accompanied by two well known
ladies Of this community, and they
all stated that the commotion In tn.

was sufficient to capsize row boat
