Turk had to come and stop the bloody tulzie for Christ's sake.

"Man will never cease making a fool of himself until he embraces the doctrine of Brainism. That is the now absolute and unquestionable knowledge that salvation can only come from having a healthy brain, which can only exist in a healthy body, which can only be built of pure vegetal cells from fruit and grain, and never from the death-and-disease-laden vegetal cells products of the slaughter-pen. Be that known of all men. Give ear to the voice that crieth in the wilderness: 'All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is in the flower of the field.' Yea, and all the cursed meanness thereof, all the disease, misery, crime and self-deception thereof are in the flesh-pot."-Dr. David MACKAY, in Dallas (Tex.) Times-Herald.

BEST THING FOR COLDS.

To the Editor: I sent for your Eureka cold cure. It is the best thing I ever tried. Have recommended it to my friends.

and good will to every harmless living creature, both human and dumb.

GEO. T. ANGELL.

The above from Our Dumb Animals indicates that our good friend Angell has come exactly onto the vegetarian platform. We knew he was not far from doing this when we met him on the peace platform at Mystic, some years ago.-H. S. C.

SIMPLE DIET FOR SINGERS. Mme. Emma Nevada, who left with her company for the coast last night, spent a busy day yesterday, sight-seeing. After the concert on Saturday night she took lunch with her cousins, Mrs. G. P. Bullard and Mrs. Fred Deister, and their husbands. The diva wanted some quail. She had eaten none in fifteen years.

*

* However much of an appetite Mme. Nevada may have, she must restrain it. Her bill of fare is a very light and simple one, especially on the days of the nights when she is going to sing. It consists usually of an egg and a small bowl of soup. There is nothing in the world more delicate than the voice of a prima donna. If she should depart from her light diet on any day, her audience would know it that night.-Phoenix (Ariz.) Republican.

Dr. Edward Everett Hale never said in his whole life a truer word than recently, EVERY ELEMENT IN VEGETABLE this: "We have a Secretary of Warwhat we want is a Secretary of Peace."

That is precisely what is wanted today for the good of our country and the world.

"A Secretary of Peace," with a liberal congressional appropriation, whose duty it shall be, to the utmost of his ability, through our colleges and public schools and in every other possible way, to promote measures for the prevention of wars, and to hasten the coming of peace on earth

KINGDOM.

"Every element, whether mineral or organic, which is required for nutrition, is found in the vegetable kingdom."-Edward Smith, M. B., F. R. S., LL. B.

A VEGETARIAN EXPERIMENT. It is related that once on a time an experiment was made at a W. C. Temperance Home of serving meals without meat. Among the religious ladies who came on Sundays to conduct religious services and partook of the Sabbath dinner, the subject of vegetarianism was discussed. One of the leaders, a staunch teetotaler, said: "I think it is best all around to eat a little of the meat, then leave it, if one does not wish to eat meat, so as not to be obliged to explain one's self." The vegetarian lady who was present replied: "On the same principle, then, Mrs. B., I suppose that if you were present at a dinner at which wine was served, you would just take a few sips from your wine-glass and then set it aside to avoid hurting the feelings of your hostess ?"

This came like a thunderbolt, and the temperance lady affirmed she would not do that as wine drinking is wicked, and asked if meat eating was wicked. The

vegetarian lady, a staunch humanitarian, replied: "Yes, indeed, Mrs. B., far more wicked than wine drinking."

After discussing this phase of the question, without coming to a conclusion, the vegetarian lady proposed to put the question to vote of all the ladies and girls present: "Have we not had a good and sufficient dinner although no meat was served? Is anyone going away hungry?" All had eaten so heartily that none could say nay.

THINKS ANDREW INCONSISTENT. To the Editor: I read the first article in your December number, "The Oldest Living Vegetarian," by Abel Andrew, with a great deal of interest. I regret that our old friend forgot to state the two most salient points, viz.: how old he was and how long he has been a vegetarian. May I call Mr. Andrew's attention to an inconsistency in his philosophy? For fear of microbes he shies at milk, "like a horse at a bicycle," but advises us to use plenty of good butter! How about cheese (decayed milk)? S. SEILER.

MADE HIM MORE HUMANE. To the Editor: I have not eaten any animal flesh for a year. I had the sandbar of flesh-eating nearly moved off my mind, and your magazine finished me on February 10th, 1901. When I first got THE VEGETARIAN I quit for about two weeks, then for about three weeks, and finally for good. Love or money cannot hire me to eat meat again. I know it pays to be a vegetarian. It has made the faculty of benevolence stronger in me. Take meat away from a man and he will become kinder and more humane, whether he wants to or not. After I had been a

vegetarian about three months, I felt brighter and better than ever. I talk vegetarianism to a great many; there are no vegetarians here that I know of. I am ridiculed by some; others think I am a crank, and some think I talk real sensibly. I have set many to thinking. I could talk vegetarianism from morning to night if people would listen, and I had the time. -AUGUST SCHMOLDT.

and cheap, too. This plan of living does away with all cooking and fuel bills. Then, when traveling, one does not have to pay extortionate prices to eat. They can take along figs, dates, raisins, almonds, etc. There is no doubt but that fire destroys life, and in eating raw food all the life that is in it is taken into the system. WALPOLE NOCKOLDS.

LIVES ON FEW CENTS A DAY. To the Editor: I have been living on a raw or natural food diet since September 7th, and find that it suits me admirably. The only trouble is that the food tastes so very good, that if one is not careful they are liable to overeat. There are several advantages in this way of living. It is cheaper, for one thing. I live on fruit, honey, peanuts, wheat, oats, and vegetables. I bought peanuts at 5 1-3 cents per pound and a half teacupful is enough for a meal. Then, honey costs. here from 5 cents to 6 cents a pound. I raise the vegetables, and the grain is not very expensive. I have been using Prof. Tyler's sun-cooked bread. It is very good

FROM A CHEMICAL VIEW POINT.

"Chemistry is not antagonistic to Vegetarianism any more than biology. Flesh food is certainly not necessary to supply the nitrogenous products required for the repair of tissue, therefore a wellselected diet from the vegetable kingdom is perfectly right, from a chemical point of view, for the nutrition of man.”—Dr. F. J. Sykes, B. Sc., Medical Officer for St. Pancras.

"Chemically speaking, flesh food is not necessary. Meat seriously diseased, may be so prepared as to look like fairly good meat; many an animal with advanced disease of the lung yet shows no 'naked eye' appearance, differing from normal, in the flesh."-Professor A. Wynter Blyth, F. R.

C. S.

FROM AN ANATOMICAL STANDPOINT.

"The Anthropoids and all the Quadrumana derive their alimentation from fruits, grains and other succulent vegetable substances, and the strict analogy which exists between the structure of these animals and that of man clearly demonstrates his frugivorous nature."Sir Richard Owen, F. R. S.

cheese can be used if the red outside coat

is scraped off, so that it will look yellow. The cheese that comes from the inside may be put in a glass can or a closely covered tin box and it will keep until used. Make a salad of celery, grape-fruit pulp and white grapes, using only one-fourth as much grape-fruit and white grapes as you have celery. Mix this with a mayonnaise dressing, and fill the cheese. The cheese-shell serves as a salad-dish and gives the salad a delicious flavor of cheese, therefore only plain wafers should be served with it. The cheese can be placed. on a pretty plate covered with a doily.Woman's Home Companion.

"AROUND THE PAN."

The reader may make up his mind to be pleasantly overwhelmed by the opulence and vivacity of "Around the Pan," published by the Nutshell Publishing Co., 1059 Third avenue, New York. The wonders begin with the frontispiece picture of President McKinley, drawn in a single line, beginning at a point on the cheek bone and going round and round in a constantly widening circle, with waverings and downbearings of the pen in the proper places to secure detachment and shading. We are told that this portrait "is considered the most unique work of its kind in the world," and if there are degrees of uniqueness, we are willing to believe that this is

It is the most comprehensive Vegetarian Cook-Book yet published.
