no reason or common sense in other
methods whatever.
People are thin. run down. nervous

DR.. Harlandson says the reason Is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain dyes

secretion Of gastric juice.
Natures remedy I'm such cases Is 20

For Just about a quarter OF an hour
tho worms rise 10 the surface. II left
untouched by the fisher people they re-
main for about an hour on the surface
and then disappear as suddenly as they
came. Thus 1t is quite correct 70 say that
tho whole fishery Is comprised within
two hours once a year. As soon as the
first gray Of dawn beginS.to pale In the
east the last palolO vanishes into the
mystery from which IL has emerged for
so brief a space and In such u marvellous
fashion
Now It IS quite safe to predicate Of the
Samoan that ne does not get up In the
middle OF the night and 80 fishing for
these worms solely because they are an
obscure freak of natural history. There
must be some reason more solid than
that 10 cause the leisure-loying islander
10 put himself 10 so much trouble The
reason Is = very valid one. Pal0lo
smacks most pleasantly on his palate.
one day I'm the year he eats ali the palol0
he can get, and the remaining. days when
he cannot get palolo 10 eat he thinks OF
all the palolo he has eaten In annual
gorges and looks ahead to the eating of
more palolo. To the white mans palate
it has not the same charm. In fact, a
great many people would on general
principles rather be excused when II
comes 10 eating worms Of any sort Still.
IL one schools the mind by a more or
less severe course Of reasoning TO recog-
nize that any article Of food which Is
highly regarded by whole races OF men
must be at least fair eating, il may be
possible to lay aside the mass OF preju-
dlces and eat the worms. They are dis
appointment as an article OF food Tor
white people; they are neither particular
ly good nor plcturesluely bad Probably
the disappointment comes from seeing
how highly the savage epicures regard
the rare food. The best way OF eating
palolo is raw. The islanders prefer it
that way best and cook only that which
they are unable 70 find room for when
IL Is freshly caught. IL must be put on
70 cook Immediately or II will spoil be-
fore sunrise. Eaten by handouts Just
fresh from the sea the palOio has no
very distinct flavor beyond that OF the
salt water; II leaves an after taste In the
mouth family reminiscent OF scallops.
