NEVERTftSTEO FLESH Philadelphia Girl Vegetarian All Her Lfe. Miss Ora Kress Is Not Interested in the Boycott on the Meat Trust— She Bars Feathe-s on Her Hits. Philadelphia, I*a. — There is one '"ting woman in this city who is not at all concerned about the outcome of the anti-meit crusade, or the beef tru.'t Inves.igatiun. and that is Miss Ora Kress, a junior at the Woman's Medical college. Miss Kress is a vege tarian, not one who adopts it as a fad. but one who has never tasted iM-at from the time of her birth, 22 years ago. Her father. Dr. D H. Kress, super intendent of the Seventh Day Advent Kt sanatorium at Washington. D. C., is an ardeot advocate cf vegetarian ism. and be has brought up his daugh ter In accordance with his views. Miss Kress Is none the worse off for her abstinence from neat. Healthy and robust, with a clea * complexion, a pleasant temperament and genial disposition, she Is the favorite of friends and fellow-students. Time and again her chums endeav ored to tempt her with a "sirloin, well dene." or a brown turkey drumstick, but she resisted the temptation. "Do you know, it often strikes me o funny," said Miss Kress, with a laugh, “to sere people gorging the carcass of some dead animal or fowl down their throats. It is repulsive to me "Why kill living things for food wh- n the earth is =o generous with her bounty of bealthfi 1. nourishing food V "Do you believe In vegetarianism be cause It 1$ healthful or because it is hue ane?” she was asked. "Hoth.” she answered. "Do you wear plumes or feathers?” f:h. no; that would be inconsist ent ” Is not the human alimentary canal / ' • y/' rssai o cor strttcted as to b? able to digest nu at and fat?" she was questioned. ' Fat. not meat.” was the answer. 'Butter is fat. too. Then, it must be that wheat and nuts con tain a great deal of fat. Tin- ancient Greeks, who attained the highest point in the development of the human form and who gave so mu* h to tne world that is beautiful :•! J artistic, subsisted almost entire ly upon v. getable food. Flesh food wap a luxury to them and when they ate meat abundantly they began to de generate.” "Do you find your light food nour ishing and satisfying?" she was asked "Do 1 look as if I were underfed?" she retort- d “And then remember that I work rather hard and need nu tritious ford." Oatmeal, eggs, butter, milk, broad and ice cream are the principal ar ti* !• s of food In this remarkable young woman' diet. Sometimes fruit and candies relieve the monotony of her course. "You pee. we are not vegetarians in the fullest sense of tb<* word," added Mi - Kress, "extremists insist upon . getall-- food only, i.nd place 'be ban u* on milk and eggs, as well. We, however, use milk and eggs, because it does not require the killing of life. But fish of course, is in the same category with meat." Imprrved Cutting Glowpipe. The cutting blowpipe, of which so many surprising thitis have been re ported hr.s recently been improved in France in a way to render it more gen* rally useful. Two inflammable cases must be employed One Is re quired to keep the metal at a high temperature. The other is oxygen to concentrate action by oxidation along the line of the cut. For heating, either roal gas. acetylene or hydrogen is employed, but as there is sometimes difficulty in procuring a supply of those gases, the new blowpipe is ar ranged to use instead of the ordinary gasoline employed by motorists. Ticket Speculators Victorious. The ticket speculators in trout of the theaters In Berlin, against whom the direcors have made war. will re main active in their business. The au thorities have decided that the specu lators cannot be driven away from their haunts, but that they must not blo< k traffic. The manager agreed to keep in reserve a certain number of tickets lor every performance for these people who came late, and. inas much as the police cannot break up it..- business, they intend to petition for a law making the vending of tick ets on the sidewalks a misdemeanor. Superstition of Chinese. The Chinese are a superstitious peo ple, ana think it a bounden duty to keep the body intact, and if by any misfortune they are compelled to lose a limb by amputation they invariably ask for the severed member and keep : it in a box Sometimes they will actu 1 ally eat it. thinking it only right that j that which has been taken from the Lody should be returned to it. On this -..me principle an extracted tooth will he carefully preserved or ground to powder and swallowed in water. NEBRASKA NEWS AND NOTES. Items of Interest Taken From Here and There Over the State.

BURDENS LIFTED FROM BAD BACKS Weary is the back that bears the burden cf kidney ills. There's no rest nor peace for the man or woman who has a bad back. Ihe distress begins in early morning. You feel lame and not refreshed. It’s hard to get out of bed. It hurts to stoop to tie your shoes. All day the ache keeps up. Any sudden movement sends sharp twinges through the back. It is torture to stoop or straighten. At night the suf ferer retires to toss and twist and groan. Backache is kidney ache—a throbbing, dull aching in the kid neys. Plasters or liniments won’t do. You must get at the cause, inside. DOAN’S KIDNEY PILLS CURE SICK KIDNEYS TWICE-TOLD TESTIMONY A Cure of Severe Kidney Diiettc Verified !> By Te*t of.Tune ! William M. Sears, 4^9 W. Cherry Street.
