![they improved in every respect—in appearance, games, work, and general feelings. But, when they went home for their holidays, their family doctors displayed their ignorance by saying that growing children must have meat; so the parents insisted on their having meat at home and at school, in spite of the successful experiment without it. The doctors brought forward not one shred of evidence, nor did they display a particle of interest in arriving at truth. In the other school, however, there was no such inter¬ ference ; almost the whole of a House of nearly fifty boys has lived for some time on the non-flesh foods with extra¬ ordinarily good results. Among other merits of this diet is the following : that the boys now never need Gregory Powder or other aperients ; they do not catch colds ; they are thoroughly well. This is not haphazard “ Vegetarianism ” ; it is not a diet with masses of starch and sugar; it is a diet of well- balanced non-flesh-foods. The Proteid that is usually supplied by meat can be had from other sources. If the master will not provide eggs or cheese, then the boys can have sent to them our Proteid Training Biscuits, or Nut and Fruit Biscuits (General Sir R. S. Baden-Powell’s favourite), or our “ Supporto,” or our “ Emprote ” itself, which only needs to have hot water added, or the E. M. Popular Proteid. These things can be taken before the regular meals, and then the flesh-foods can be safely omitted ; or the boys can have some of our Foods, and very little flesh-food. I shall deal with this subject again in a later Section. [See also No. 74.] TWENTY-EIGHTH SERIES. (107) “ ORGANICALLY SOUND ” My doctor tells me that there is nothing the matter with me.
