It is also a good sign of the times that wholemeal bread, oatme al porridge, beans, etc., can now be obtained at most of the cheap cafés and restaurants, which are successfully competing with licensed houses. Owing to important business engagement s, the Superintendent has only been able to speak at B.W.T.A. and I.0.G.T. meetings in Wales, A lantern lecture was given at the Drill Hall, Summerhill, entitled “ Harvest Thanksgiving,” showing that true harvest thanksgiving is to utilize the kindly fruits of the earth for the benefit of mankind, instead of deteriorating wheat and other grains into white starchy foods which do not nourish properly, and degrading them into alcoholic stimulants which poison and destroy. Literature on Temperance and Food Refor m has been distributed by the Superintendent whilst travelling about, and discussions have thus been aroused on that important subje ct on railways and on steam- boats, and a great deal of information been thus disseminated. Leaf- lets have also been given at suppers organ ized by Temperance societies, The Leicester B.W.T.A. have directed especial attention to the question of Food Reform, and have arran ged a cookery demonstration illustrating these principles, at Hinckley. The Secretary of the Hastings B,W.T.A. reports from her own personal experience that, with fruit and a vegetarian diet, alcohol is quite out of the question—she never think s of it. The Manchester W.C.T.U. report that they are using more fruit at the Grove Retreat for Inebriate Women, and that Mrs. Harrison, Member of the Executive of the Vegetarian Society, is giving a cookery lecture there. The Exmouth B.W.T.A. have arranged a Food Reform supper to an I.0.G.T, Lodge, and the Wolverhampto n B.W.T.A. are arranging for one next season. The Southport B.W.T.A. report that they co-operate with the local Vegetarian Society, and that they alway s have a meeting during the session devoted to fruit subjects. In Liverpool and Birmingham the Vegetarian societies have directed the atten tion of Temperance organ- izations to its importance. Miss Nicholson, Secretary of the Vegetarian Federal Union and the London Vegetarian Association, has arranged meetings in connec- tion with N.B.W.T.A. and other Temperan ce societies. The Vegetarian Society entertained the A.E.I . during its meetings at Manchester, and have circulated hundr eds of their penny pamphlet leaflets, “‘ The Remedy for the Drink Curse .” Mr. Sydney Beard states that the “Order has constantly sought to show Temperance workers of the Golden Age ” that Dietetic Reform is the most important means of combating Natio nal Intemperance, During the past year there has been such a large demand for their official pamphlet, “The Drink Problem, and how to Solve it,” that they have been obliged to print a third edition.
