the fried grosshopper though they are al
most equally good when roasted. The best
example of the flavor can think of is the
crawfish. The grasshopper in any form
calls the crawfish to mind.
But it must not be thought that only
the grasshopper of insects is edible. Wasp
grubs fried In the comb make a most tasty
dish. If the time ever comes that our
farmers accept this fact, the wasp will no
more be regarded as an enemy, nor will the
nests be ruthlessly destroyed Instead, it
will be part Of the education of the farmer
boy to find way of driving the wasps
from the comb so that it can be used as
table delicacy.
Some folks will rise to voice an aver
sion to the idea of eating wasps. Could
anything be more absurd? Yet in the en-
tire range of the animal kingdom nothing
cleaner can be found than the wasp. His
only food is the dainty juices of fruits and
flowers. If anything could be less offensive

like to know what it is. Compare the diet
of the wasp to the food eaten by many fish
or to the wallowings of hog in the feed

We Eat Too Much.

Medical science declares that practically
seven-eighths of our Ills are due to over
feeding. Colds In the head are often due to
eating too much.
1t may be claimed that our own WELL
spread boards are meager compared to
those of our ancestors. Probably, but our
ancestors were hardy and able to throw or
the effects of a hearty meal. We do not
take into consideration the great difference
between their life and ours. AS 1t is, we eat
altogether too much food for our health and
comfort, and the fashionable remedy for
most ailments is semi-starvation for a
period Of varying length. -
