Oftener than not we may tell a
child's sex from the time the child
spends at the window on a rainy day.
Whatever the years make a woman,
she is born domesticated. The little
girl looks out of the window chiefly
because something is happening out
side, not because she wishes something
would happen. and returns contentedly

In poor Europe the people not only
lust for meat but they want it raw,
not rare, but absolutely raw meat. The

Europe also eats the horse in spite of
his service. 1t appears to be the rea.
son for Europe's bellicosity and beIli-
gerency if we reason correctly. For in
stance those animals which eat meat
are vicious while those that do not eat
meat are not so. If carnivorous ami
mails are vicious and herbivorous ami
mails are not so, if the tiger, the lion,
and other carnivora are dangerous and
the cow, the sheep and other herbivora
are benevolent, the logical inference is
that the vegetarians are safer than meat
eaters, safer from the diseases of the
carcasses they devour not, safer in
every way, safer from the exorbitant
prices of the packers, safer from the
abnormal appetite, safer because of self
control, safer from the unjust demand
of the packers, the money lords who
insist that we force Europe to take
their meat now.
If we reap what we SOW our harvest
from the seed sown by killing our bene-
factors the defenseless and faithful

is not to rob. When we cheat our

MEAT - D4S6A66 ltAUSG.
Life is padded with compromise. W,

mise most with our appetite. We winl
at what We know is wrong because Of
temporary gain. Does it pay7
At recent meeting of the Tristatt
Medical Society of Iowa, Illinois ant
Missouri, in this city, it was stated
that appendicitis is caused by the eat
ing of meat. 1t was further stated
that appendicitis is virtually unknown
among people subsisting largely on vege
table diet and that it is a modern out
growth in this country of "refned
foods.''
1t is probable that cancer is caused
by the transplating of cancer cells into
the human economy by the process of
meat eating. We have had many can.
Ger research workers to demonstrate
that cancer can be transplated. Mice
have been used extensively in the
study of cancer and cancer cells have
been transplanted from one to the 9TH
er experimentally. Since mouse cancer
is transmitted from one mouse to the
other it is reasonable to suppose that
other animals can likewise infect one
another with cancer.
There will doubtless be those who will
say that the cancer cells are killed in
the process of cooking the meats eaten.
Fire will destroy cancer cells if applied
directly and sufficiently but that is not
possible by our cooking methods. The
center of the meat will not be thor
oughly reached by the fire hence the
possibility of planting cancer cells into
our bodies by eating meat.
In India the sense of justice, exact
Justice is said to be so highly developed
that they refuse to kill and eat the
faithful cow and the sheep. Those an
finals are considered sacred because
they furnish milk, butter, cheese and
wool. 1t appears to be the basest in
gratitude to slaughter the animal and
its mate and progeny for our lust for
flesh after it has furnished with food
and raiment the slaughter. 1t looks
like killing the goose that lays the
golden egg. 1t is indeed wrong to kill
such a benefactor as the cow just be-
cause of our desire for meat. Such a

vegetables. The commandment "Thou
shalt not kill'' seems to have a wider
application than is commonly accepted.
