The Elephant Eats No Meat.

When you think In the afternoon that you are
feeling weak because you could not afford to have
lamb chops for lunch but had plenty of vegetables
and beans or rice, you are Just creating a mental
condition which reacts on the physical. Meat is
not absolutely necessary to make one strong
Look at an elephant. 1t is huge, and strong, Of
course, but it eats no meat 1t draws its nourish-
ment and strength from grass and vegetables
fruits and foliages. The elephant is purely a vege
tartan. So is the horse, the rhnoceros and the
bull And no animal can surpass the bull in vital
endurance-eyen in fighting ferocity.
There are races of men too. who are mostly
vegetarian, and they, too, are strong and healthy
and have unquestionable power of endurance The
Japanese at home live mostly on rice beans and
vegetables. Those who have been in Japan and
have lived with the Japanese know how simple
is their food and how strong their minds and
bodies.

Rice for the Strong Japanese.

For breakfast the Japanese eats one, two or
three bowls of rice soya bean soup with or with
out potatoes beans, cheese and pickles. For lunch
he has rice, fish soup, fried fish and cooked vese-
tables For dinner he takes rice. baked or raw
fish and vegetables
The Japanese in the larger cities eat meat
once in while, and in the villages almost never.
1t is generally thought in Europe and Ameri,
ca that meat is necessary to give heat and en-.
durance to soldiers This is purely mistaken
belief. There is scarcely q colder country in the
world than Manchuria. And yet the Japanese
marched, camped and fought there with all their
characteristic energy and prowess and moved
down in a whirling tornado of death the meat.fed
and stalwart Cossacks. Every Japanese soldier
carried with him pound or two of rice and beans,

Mcleod, while flying at an slti-

eight enemy machines which dived
at him from all directions, firing
from their front guns. BY skillful
maneuvers he enabled his observer
to fire bursts at each machine in

By this time both Mcleod and his
observer were wounded and their
machine was in flames. Mcleod
climbed out onto the plane, control

kept the flames confined to the
