Why eat meat?
Maeterlinck, Bernard Shaw, Itaupt-
mann. and many others arc nonmcat
raters.
Tolstoy, "a wonderful exaranle of
physical and mental strengtr.,,' said
that ho believed the first step toward
uplrituallty was the ceasing of meat-eating.
Tlilq is the argument of Mrs. Minnie
Maddcrn Tiskc. noted actress, who lias
issued n seath ne Indictment of meat
eating and of the killing of fur-bearing
animals "for fashion's sake."
"If wo hnd to witurbs tho horrors of
the slaughter houso; if we had to listen
to tho shrieks of tbo terrilicd, protest
ing animais creatures nireudy dis
tracted bv the tortures of transporta
tion and all that word implies if wc
.had to look on at each succcsshc scene
of tho bloody business we should not
be quite so serene in asking the blessing
abovo too meat.
"No thinkluc being could con
scientiously play a part in that little
set of bajiug grace it he had to trace
tho blessed animal from frontier range
to thi! dinner table.
"But we nre beginning to think of
theso things. AVhen women learned of
the manner In which the algrctto was
obtained tho feather was irtuully
abolished. The nigretto was torn from
tho Hvine mother bird duriue the nest
ing beason. Tho mutilated living body
of the bird was then tied in the marshes,
where, lingering to be devoured by the
ants, its cries rcacneu the staruug
young In the nest, the joung whose
answering cries attracted other birds
for which a similar fate to that of the
mother was in store."
CHURCH INSTALLS 'MOVIES'

ministers of the Camden district ot the
New ,Tcisc Confcrcme to the use of I
moving pictures in churches, ofliclals I

the screen Sunday nights and other ce
ninzs without admission charire. i
Tho Rev. Alfonso Dare, pastor of the
church, is supporting the movement.
"Teaching the Biblo from the tuoving
pictuie bcrecn," Mr. Dare said "will
prove to be an effective ami popular
method of getting the real Bible mes
sages to the people in a manner that
will appeal to the youth of the com
munity. "There aro picture sermons just as
well as word sermons', and these picture
hcrmons will appeal to tho cje where
