"Energy, muscle, and strength giving qualities: One pound of flour costing 2½ or 3 cents, will go as far as two pounds of meat costing 15 to 20 cents per pound."

A glance at this table shows that the vegetarian has the advantage over the meat-eater. His money buys more energy, muscle, and strength. Therefore with equal wages he ought to have more money, energy, muscle, and strength.
