MEATLESS DIET

Manchester, England, Nov. 90
1.-THE experience of the present war
should result in the general adoption
of the meatless diet" says the an
nual program" adopted by the Veg
etarian Siciety of Great Britain.
which has just closed its annual con-
vention here.
In his presidential address. Profes-
sor Ernest Bell spoke of the many
hundreds of millions of men and WON.
en- who are now obtaining living out
of the slaughter of animals and fish,
and suggested that one of the social
results of general adoption of veg
etarianism would be that these peo-
pie would turn to more humane and
edifying work" He added, "At u
time like this, when food Is most
serious problem, it is monstrous to
devote Ga pounds of dry grain to the
production of one pound of beef"
Bernard Shaw, i'm letter to the
Convention, said that he had been a
vegetarian for forty years, and spoke
of the meat diet as q relic of canni'
balism.
