Mr.. WI Sends Us a Message.

Our genial and philosophic globe trottcr, San
Blythe who is now ir Pctrograd studying thu
vodka question: is reported to be ready to launcl
another reform when he gets back to the Unitct
States. Last summer when the dog days drov
men to drink. Sam surprised his old associates anc
gladdened the hearts OF the prohibitionists by writ
ing little tract entitled "Cut 1t Out Sam hat
joined Big Bill White the water wagon and HI
was considered big asset for the prohibtionists
Now Sam has made another discovery, this time
over in China the first fountain OF civilization He
has met our old friend Mr.. WI, who was a neve,
ending source of entertainment when he was tho
Chinese Minister in Washington. Mr. WI always
wanted to know how old YOU when in Wash
ngton. hut in China he wants to know how young
you are, which is more isttcring to globe trot-
ter who has ceased to record his birthdays.
Mr.. WI confded his secret to Sam Blythe II
is vceetarianiSm. Eating nothing but vegetables
and nuts has reversed the old order which we have
been taught to believe was the law OF nature, and
Mr.. Nu is now growing younger with each revo-
luton OF the seasons. In the days OF the old
Manchu Dynasty he grew old and his hope was
at death to have his soul transmitted into the body
OF American citizen. free to discuss all man
rer OF subjects without embarra Sment. But with
a vegetable diet China has become republic and
Mr. Wu's only embarrassment is as to what
he will do TO reverse the order again when he
gets back to infancy.
Mr.. WA has demonstrated that fish and flesh
arc violent poison> when taken into the stomach.
and that they arc responsible for the old law of
old age, decay and death. Meat produces disease,
and Mr.. WI holds our American roast beef, NUT
ton chops. chicken and shad responsible for many
years OF intimate acquaintance with lumbago
,catoa. dyspepsia, gray hair and lot in
,onvenicnccs which all vanished when he cut out
meat and lived on Vegetables and nuts He was
hrcc-<Corc when he Lett America. Now he is
;cung man OF 40 and growing Younger with red
instead OF white hair. Mr.. Blythe has, therefore,
made another cut OUT and shall expect an
other tract that subject, notwithstanding his
ormer enthusiasm over Montana cattle ranches
md the cattle thousand hills, ready for the
chicago stock yards.
But what will Big Bill White and the other
Kansas prohbitonsts sayo They are anticipate
ng big crop and they getting ready to
urn the corn into beef, and buy more automobiles
rom the prosperity due to the high price OF srloin
teak They have virtuouSly refused to ship their
orn to Peoria Ill., to he converted into poison
md here comes Mr. Blythe. OF their most valu-
bic converts to prohibition with an exposition OF
nc NtdGtE poison WHICH lurkS IN roast Deer, 1rlcQ
lrichcn and baked shad
But Bill White might have known that when
&c got Sam Blythe started on an investigation as
O what should he cut out, he would not stop in
Kansas or with mint julcpS and highballs. Sam is
II ubiquitous reporter and invcterate investiga-
or. He goes everywhere, meets Cars. kaisers,
>inC>. Presidents and Mikados. He will cut out
odka. as he cut out American whisky German
Ger and French champagne, but he will also cut
mt American roast beef and advise the world that
&c greatest and proudcst contribution OF America
, modern civilization is poison producing in
Efficiency. lack OF mental vigor and physical
renGtir, choking genius and in fact, sending the
Grid to decay and death rather than to develop
Icnt ard lie 1t is reactionary rather than pro-
rcsSivc. Mr.. WI has demonstrated the truth Of
rese saying to Sam Blythe and Sam has given
lc message 10 the world "cut it out"
II follow the admonitiOn OF Mr. WI and
am Blythe VIC must stop shipping fresh beef and
lutton, cured ham and bacon to Europe as NH |
itionS of war more deadly than our Winchestcrs
rags and gun powder. Still some reactionarics |
i'll continue to quote the old saw that what is |
ne mans meat is another mans poison.
