cox GROWS IN FAVOR.

Democrats in annalyzing the polit-
ical situation each day become more
confident that Cox will win in the
coming election, and that his chances
grow better every hour. Republican
efforts to bolster up a weak candidate
grow more strenuous and less awaiting
with the League Of Nations not their
only stumbling block.
st. Petersburg Times, in this con-
nection, says:
"But after all the question of who
will win narrow down to a few states.
The democrats are certain Of 1S1 cleo
toral votes. These form the solid
South" are conceded by even the most
rabid republican. This leaves but IS
electoral votes necessary from the
North and East There are several
doubtful states in the West, but not
even these need be considered. Five
states in the Middle West and East
stand out as the real battle-ground
They are Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey
Connecticut and New York. Reports
from each of these states indicate that
the democrats have a real chance TO
win"
The Sun and New York Herald has
this to say, which should certainly
have some weight, in view or Mr.
Munsey's known affiliations: "The
democrats need find only eighty five
votes among the northern states to
elect the president"
Reviewing the situation in Indiana
Ohio, the New Jersey, Connecticut and
New York, the Tampa Tribune says:
Ordinarily it might be easy for
New York. New Jersey and Ohio to go
republican; but not this year. The

the election machinery in all those

hero governor. the victor of many a

MANS NATURAL FOOD.

In Genesis 1929, we read, And God
said, behold, l have given you evUGy
herb bearing seed, which is upon the
face of all the earth and every tree
in which is the fruit Of a tree yield
ing seed; to you it shall be fO@ meat
This simple ano healthful Edenic has
been gradually added to for centur-
les until man partakes Of nearly ev-
cry item on Natures menu. Man is
now truly an omnivorOus animal and
is excelled in this respect only by the
rat, which will feast on most any
kind of organic matter.
Man. however, is beginning TO suf-
fer for discarding his primitive food
This is shown in the marked increase
In the degenerative diseases in people
past middle life, caused by heavy eat
ing and mainly by heavy meat eat
ing. There are other facts which sup
port the contention that the natural
food Of man is not meat, but fruit
nuts and herbs, to-wit:
1. The structure of mans stomach
and intestines and the contents Of the
digestive juices more nearly conform
TO those of herbivorous rather than
carnivorous animals.
:. human teeth do not resemble the
teeth of flesh eating animals, but are
almost identical with the teeth Of the
anthropoid apes, which are strictly
fruit and nut-eating animals.
B. All carnivorous animals have an
acid reaction in the saliva. Herbivor-
Gus animals have an alkaline reaction
Normally mans mouth is alkaline but
smokers and chewers have acid mouths
4. Decay of teeth is more prevalent
among meat eating races.
.. During ConYaIescence, patients
improve faster on a non-meat diet.
6. A group of athletes at one OF our
universities was placed on a heavy
meat diet mixed with the usual
amounts Of vegetables. Another group
was placed on strict vegetable diet
In special tests. the vegetarians out
classed the meat eaters in both strength
and endurance
A well-balanced diet must contain
fats, sugars proteins and the recently
discovered vitamins. Fruit ard nuts
contain all of these necessary ingredi-
ents in abundance.
8. Man can not live exclusively on
a meat diet. but man has and can live
exclusively on fruits and nuts.
9. Personal experience has convinced
many OF the superiority OF a non-meat
diet. Especially is such q eist beae-

Good Guava Crop.

numbers Of people come here so far

Prohibition 10 Bizarre.


TT looks more ond more as though
prohibition were IN part to blame for
the present housing shortage in the
United States. The latest bit of evil
dence to support this view comes from
Chicago, where the Salvation army
reports that since prohibition took eff
feet demand for private rooms, with
sunshine and hot and cold water, has
supplanted the call for the Decent
lodging accommodations of liquor days.
Apparently such a demand exists
everywhere. for the days gone by
when liquor could force several fami-
lies into two back rooms have been
succeeded by a period when each Of
these families demands, and under
prohibition is able to provide for itself
a higher class of housing. The cause
of prohibition, however, does not suf-
fer from this sort of blame. Chris
