struck and the blood that was spilled in
the presence of the Incompatible Anna

Was 1T lovers rivalry that moved the
agile Andrea and the terrible Willie to
combat? Was it that each aspired to

Standard Meals
BY MARTHA MISSIONER

Tho danger in most food fads Is that
they are only partly understood by
those who follow the various cults. The
pioneers in establishing the new ideas
have not made themselves plain, and in
consequence they fail of their purpose.
Not long since noticed n young busl
ness woman looking far from well. and
friend of hers confided to me that
She doesn't get enough to eat She is
vegetarian now"
And truly on Inquiry I found the girl
was really starving herself. She had
given up eating meats. as advised by a
vegetarian pamphlet, but mad failed to
substitute other foods having high
percentage of protein to take the place
of meat. She was merely doing with
out. The body is made up OF certain
food principles. Those principles must
be supplied to keep the furnace going
If ii Is your pleasure to dispense with
meat protein. do so. but furnish that
food principle by eating cheese, eggs,
nuts. beans, gluten bread or cereals TO
take its place.
The vegetarian will never bring the
world to his way of thinking until he
Is as we'll nourishcd and healthy look
