How To Know The Funai.

 parable in dietary value to meat. as Is often claimed; but, on the other hand. they are more nutritious and, when properly cooked. decidedly more
 paIatable than many things that enter into the everyday menu. A desultory propaganda in behalf of myeophagy has been carried on for years. both in
 this country and abroad. The latest contribution to this campaign is Bull
