VEGETARIANS GET
 KNOCKOUT BLOW
THE BRAIN WORKERS
 MUST HAVE MEAT

The editor of one of the leading medical journals has been search ing the biographies of brain-work- CTS to find one who has been exclus- lively 8 vegetarian. He has found several who tried a vegetarian diet and gave it up, but not one who persisted in it.
 Benjamin Franklin who stuck for a year or more to his resolution to eat no animal food, looked upon the taking of animal life for purpose of food as a kind of unprovoked murder.'" But when he saw small fish removed from the stomachs of larger ones he reasoned, If you eat one another. I do not see why We may not eat you" so he dined upon cod very heartily, returning only now and then to vegetarian diet.
 Herbert Spencer, after six months of vegetarianism, found himself de- .eriorating and returned to use of animal food. He says, Il had to re- write what 1 had written during the time l was vegetarian, because it was so wantin gin vigor."
 Tolstoy, who at fifty-seven adopt ed 8 vegetarian diet, and adhered to it for twenty-five years. eomplet- ~ his greatest works before he be- gan this diet

Third Regiment at Leon

PROMOTIONS FROM RANKS
By ]. CROSBY MCCARTHY,
Stan Correspondent.


LEON SPRINGS, Tex. December g.
The men of the Sd District Regiment.
who reached here yesterday afternoon
with the West Virginia and Mississippi
militia regiments. today are devoting
their time to getting settled in their
new camp, and Kidding their feet and
bodies of the aches incident to twenty
three miles of hiking and two nights
Of sleeping on the ground. They will
not begin their program of maneuver-
ing and rifle practice until tomorrow.
When reveille was sounded this morn
ing the men were slow in responding,
for their cots felt mighty good to them
after having spent the two previous
nights sleeping on the ground, cramped
up in their shelter tents.
After brisk setting-up exercising and
q rough but substantial breakfast, they
felt differently, and SO went to work
with a determination to get their tent
pitching and other camp building COM
pleted as quickly as possible, in order
that they might soon be on the rifle
range.

Few Reported Sick.

Few Of the District militiamen an
swered sick call this morning. for there
were no i'll effects from the hiking. The
medical officers were called upon to
doctor few sore feet. but nothing
more serious claimed their attention.
Men who never have had any expert
ence on the rifle range today are being
Instructed in the rules which must be
observed in rifle practice, so as to safe
guard against any mishaps when the
regiment begins its firing and also to
make for better scores.
Col. Young is anxious to see the 3rd
District Regiment make a showing on
the range that will surpass those of
the two other militia regiments which
are in camp here. A large number Of
the District militiamen engaged in
rifle practice on the range at Congress
Heights before leaving for the border,
and Col. Young Is confident some rec
ord scores will be made.
The District militiamen all are look
ing forward with great interest to the
range work to be done by the Machine
Gun Company. and a large audience is
assured when this unit begins its work.
As soon as the column reached here
yesterday afternoon Chaplain Smith set
to work to provide every possible COM
fort for the men and soon had several
Y. NJ. c. A. tents erected. The educa-
tional classes being conducted under
the auspices of the association are to
be continued without interruption.
