EAT HORSE MEAT
Kansans May Do This Before
the War Is Over.
X. s. A. C. Professor Says 1t Is
Good and Wholesome.

Manhattan, Kan, March 15--Have
you tasted horse meat? If not, you
may have an opportunity before the
close of the war.
Use of horse meat by the people of
the United States is increasing rapidly
despite a widespread sentiment against
its use for human consumption. point
ed out DR.. C. w. McCampbell, asso-
ciate professor of animal husbandry
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege Investigations have shown thai
the patrons of horse meat shops be-
long to the middle classes rather than
to the lower classes as many persons
think.
Horse meat retails for half the
price of beef and is palatable. whole
some and nutritious said Doctor NC
Campbell. 1T can scarcely be dis
tinguished from beef by the average
buyer and it is interesting to note that
those who have once tried horse meat
become regular customers.
Use Spreading Rapidly.
Horse meat is used extensively
turnout many countries of Europe but
butcher shops handling horse meat
have been established but a short time
in the United States. The first of
these shops were opened at Portland
and Brooklyn. In a short time others
were opened in Cincinnati. st. Louis,
Toledo, and many other large cities
The latest shops to open are those
of Omaha, and in the near future
horse meat will probably be sold thru
out the country.
Besides furnishing a cheaper kind
of wholesome meat, these markets Of
fer an outlet for the small horses with
which the country is overstocked, and
for which there is no commercial or
farm demand"

CLOSING OF CONFERENCE

The session of District Confer
ence closed Thursday night, the
proceedings, in brief, being given
in the Recorder up to the morning
session Thursday. The business
session of the afternoon developed
nothing out Of the usual routine,
and the conference accepted the
invitation of Rev. E,~H. Aaron to
meet next year at Ridgeley.
The closing sermon was preach
ed at $50 by Rev, G. W. Moore,
of Frostburg, Md, and was regard
ed BY most persons as rhetorical
masterpiece. His style differs
from that usually heard, and the
measure of appreciation depends
largely upon the trend OF ones
taste, but the large majority of his
hearers were loud in their praise of
his eloquence, earuestness and pow
er, bis discourse being profound as
well as polished.
The text was-"Blessed are the
pure in heart, for they shall see
GGd."
