ORIGIN OF YANKEE THIRST
Sacred Cod of Rock Bound Coast
Responsible for Native
DrOuth.

When the bibulous person watches the
barkeeper filling the highball glass from
the syphon he does not realize that he is
indebted to the sacred cod OF Massachu-
sets for his thirst. Yet Secretary Straus
Of the Department Of Commerce and Labor
says so.
Secretary Straus made the principal ad-
dress at the opening OF the international
Fisheries congress in Washington, and
stated his firm conviction that a diet OF
dried fish was the greatest thirst pro-
Queer yet discovered. He touched also on
fish as a brain food. and ascribed the de-
velopment Of the American brain and the
American thirst to the fact that the Pill
grim Fathers were forced to subsist almost
exclusively on cod in the Irst two years Of
their settlement in Massachusetts,.
"And the whole effect OF that steady brain
diet" said the secretary, remains I'm the
whole American race today. for there are
but two classes OF AmeTicans-those who
are descended from the Pilgrim Fathers and
those who claim to be so descended"
Mr.. Straus said that the early New Eng
land trade with the West Indies. when
various New England products were ex-
changed for Jamaica rum might be traced
indirectly to the u-nquenchable thirst
aroused by sailed fish.-Washington Post.
