MeatieSS Days

yJNIIE war Is teaching the world great
l. lessons in almost every branch OF
human activity. The demand for
supreme effort in every direction has
stimulated the intelligence and the
genius of the world to marvellous achieve
ment.
The war Is above all other things a
lesson in economies.
War lessons the production and In
creases the consumption of all the neces-
saries of life.
This is especially true OF food. We
must save food rur ourselves and for
our allies.
In calling for mcatless days our Gov
ernnrnt authorities have displayed pro-
found wisdom.
Why?
First Because meat is not essential
as an article of diet. Everybody knows
this since the beef strike of few years
ago when tens of thousands of working
men and women Voluntarily became
meat abstainers in order to beat the
beef strike" Nobody suffered. a lot
! Of vegetarian restaurants got good
| start and have fourished ever since.
Second The use of meat as food is
| n most wasteful practice. According to
| the experts in animal feeding, 1t takes
| thirty-sx pounds of corn or other food
| to make one pound of beef and thirty
eight pounds 10 Vakc pound of mutton
So it Is necessary to destroy or throw
away thirty-tivc pounds of good food in
order to get ono pound i'll tho form ui
beef.
in war time VIC cannot afford TO waste
food at such a ruinous rate. 1t was for
this reason that the German Govern
mcnt required the destruction Of large
/ part Of tho cattle, sheep and hogs OF
that country as soon a3 it became owl
dent that the war would be greatly
prolonged.
So mcatlcss days sayo food at the
rate of thrty-five pounds of grain for
| every pound of beef not eaten.
Third. Meatlcss days save health. If q
man Is found to have Brights disease
high blood pressure, eczema, dropsy
gastric ulcer, colitis, cancer, fever, apo
plcxy, pernicious ancmia, almost any very
grave disease, the doctor always says
"cut out meat, use plenty of fresh fruits
1 aud green vegetables" Every doctor
/ knows that the free use of meats Is q
| prolific cause of disease. Thousands vii
benefit by the lessencd consumption Ci
meat which the war makes necessary
Tho moro mcatlcsS days the better
The complete elimination OF meat from
the bill of fare would in the end save
more lives than the war has destroyed
