Directions

1. THE SUBJECT of our sketch was 'born in London, England, on tbe and of November, 1S45, "^^^ '^ therefore fifty years of age.

2. He left his hoDK at the age of sixteen to seek a fortune in America, and after five years in the gold fields of Montana and California, settled down to his present bnstness in New York City.

3. About sixteen years ago, while stndying religions subjects, his attention was forcibly drawn to tiie conclusion that it was a crime to kill for any purpose. Atthat time he was unacquainted with any Vegetarians or their mode of life, but like most people was indued with the erroneous notion that we require flesh in cold weather. It being then the depth of winter be concluded to await the first of May before putting his faith in prac- tice. Accordingly on the thirtieth of April be tasted his last flesh and from that day to this has not touched anything that necessitated the sacri6ce of life: fish, flesh or fowl and certainly at this date no possible inducements conld tempt him to commit such a crime or be the participant in that of another.

4. He states that he did not feel the slightest effect in his health or strength on changing from a Sesh to a Vegetarian diet.

5. Mr. Scott is a very busy man, working sixteen hours a day, three hundred and nine days in the year.

6. To show how little is necessary to support an active life, we annex his menu, which is practically unchanged from one year to an- other. In feet he walks into the restaurant «nd sits down, the meal being brought without giving an order.

7. Breakfast pt 8 o'clock : One orange or other fruit in season ; large saucer of oatmeal, eaten with crettm and sugar 1 one Vienna 1896

8. rollandone cupof coffee, three qoartera milk. Supper at 6.30; Three poached eggs on toast; three griddle cakes.

9. This is not an ideal diet or one that we should recommend, as it is entirely lacking in whole wheat, peaR, and beans, but it has the advantage in being food that can be proctired at any hotel or restaurant in America or Europe and probably anywhere in the world.

10. He never eats or even takes a glass of water between meals.

11. His weight never varies more than a pound or two, and stands at 178 lbs. He is 5 ft) 9 in, tall. We need scarcely add that he Is never ill and is a good specimen of healthy, robust manhood.

12. He is now serving his fourth term as pres- ident of the Vegetarian Society of New York and is of course a member of the Vegetarian Society of America, and niaty other organ- isations.

13. We have great pleasure in giving a por- trait of our friend in the first number of our new series as during the temporary sus- pension of Food, Homs » Gakden he has published the Vegetarian, a neat little monthly, which has served a very useful pur- pose in keeping the sacred flame alive while we were laboring under the embarrassment incident to the transition in providing a Permanent Printing snd Publication Establishment for the Vegetarian Society of America.

14. Mr. Scott is a most genial, high minded friend of tbe cause and although /'fe Vegetarian has met with considerabie success, he in- forms us that it will only be continued until the end of the present volume. We shall. however, always enjoy his co-operation as his Vegetarianism is based on a religious principle as firm asa rock.
