(Kid) Parker. HY am I a disciple of vegeta- rianism and an exponent of its benefits? The query is easily answered. I have found that vegetable dlet makes me stronger and gives me greater #ndurance. I am conscious of the fact that my call- ing is not the most honorable in world, because of certain men engag in the game. Personally, I do not to follow it, as I have accumulated enough money to live nicely the rest of my life but T am in the boxing game to prove that a vegetarian fighter is superior to the man who gains his strength eating flesh foods. Some vears ago T was fond of meats and ate flesh in great quantity. 1 deemed that the more meat I ate stronger I would become. I found, however, that it was awfully hard work digesting my food. It dawned on me then that I was ruining my health through ignorance Having read somewhera that there was strength gaining qualities in vegetabls food, I decided to try the experiment. Imagine my surprise and gratification when I found that after a meal of vege- tables I felt more Invigorated than if I had eaten meat. I began to pay more at- tention to my diet. Surprising as it may seem, T noticed myself getting stronger physically, men- tally and morally. I reasoned that a strictly non-flesh diet was the original diet by nature Intended for mankind, hence my resolve to become a vegetarian. Fruits, cereals, nuts and vegetables form my diet, and I would recommend their use to all who desire to be healthy and strong. 1t 1s shown from the testimony of vege- tarians they enjoy comparative Immunity from disease. Many have lived to old age without scarcely a day's sickness. Vig- orous inquiry has shown that not a veg- etarian ever succumbed to dread cholera, ner have they ever been attacked by the disease. It is a well known fact that flesh eating nations generally suffer from disease. In training for a contest in the ring a man must possess a good constitution and great strength. FHis habits while train- ing are exact and he must take the b care of himself. in battle de- pends on his condition and he must enter the roped arena fit to battie for his life. His success Success depends on his éndurance and ability to give and take punishment. It knocked down he must be able to re- cuperate instantly, otherwise his opponent will take the money. In college athletics the same rule applies e young man who wishes to shine in whatever branch of athletics he takes up can only do so by conscientious training.
