Well. when the British built the Egyptian state railway the officials were as founded at the enormous quantities of train oil that disappeared. They knew that all this of couldn't be used for lubricating purposes. so they made an investigation and found that it had become the staple food of the poor fellahin. The railroad detectives re- ported that the fellahin all over Egypt were using the Egyptian state railways train oil as their chief sup port. They buttered their bread with train oil They fried their fish in train oil. They made Kind of suet pudding with train oil as a base. They drank train oil heated as a flesh producer or builder up. So the railway officials mixed castor oil with the stuff. and the fellahIn after a years torturing and vain effort to accllmate their sys- tens to the mixture decided to give train oil up.
