ARABIA LIKES LoCUSTS.
Not Only the Natives but Everything

~N'ANAAef @eN@ AANAAa
Locust are today eaten in Arabia
pretty much as they were in Biblical
times. Foreigners as we'll as natives
declare that they are really an excel
lent article Of diet They are best
boiled.
The long or hopping legs must be
pulled Off and the locust held by
wing and dipped into salt before it is
eaten. As to favor. the insect is said
to taste like green wheat.
The red locust is more palatable than
the green kind. Some say that the fe-
male is red and the male green. but
others contend that all are green at
first. whatever the sex
Locusts must be caught in the morn

DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat Distress
You?

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually go together.
John Lind, of Oneonta, n. Y, says:
81 had bad stomach trouble for ff-
teen years and became so weak that l
could hardly walk or do any work.
My appetite was very poor, and Ii
seemed impossible to get any relief.
Since taking two bottles of Vinol /
find that it has already made a re-
markable improvement in my health.
my digestion is much stronger, and /
have gained in weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and oyer-taxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs. and is delicious to the taste.
Try bottle of Vinol with the I'M
derstanding that your money will be

Reversing a Right Policy

Next Monday evening the Republican city
committee and the city advisory committee will
hold meeting at which shall be decided wheth-
er or not the Republican candidate for mayor will
be chosen by a primary convention. 1t has
been years since a Republican candidate for may
or OF this city was chosen at a convention, that
pet device of the boss system. 1t will be great
pity if the Republicans of this city reverse pol
icy that has led in the right direction and ex-
change city primary for convention.
Aside from the unfairness to the rank and
lille OF the party in such a move, the very name
convention should rise up spectre like from the
ashes of last June, to convince the local party
leaders that if they would have their party be-
come once more important factor in local po-
litical affairs they cannot appeal for support
from intelligent voters after recognizing on
such basis
1t is a double pity, for the sake of the adj
vancement of popular government in our city af-
fairs, that not only the Republicans, but also the
Democrats will not join in tri-party primary
with the Progressives for the selection of city
candidates. In such a manner the chance for
corruption could be reduced to minimum and
the two old line parties would have risen to the
stand taken by the Progressives, that the will
of the rank and file of political parties shall be
their guiding principles.

Mason is right.
The former is a patient man He en-

The farmer understands his bust

AS we'll as the lawyer understands how
to work his client, as we'll as the edi-

his business.
The farmer of Wayne county is a

wish nor care, nor appreciate all this

flying" educating" and helping" and

and his wife and his children how to
carry on their business any more than
any other business man would wish

Non-Partisan Currency Reform

Representative Glass; chairman of the house
committee on banking and currency, if quoted
correctly has risen to the heights of true states
manship in desiring that Progressives, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans shall unite in congress to
pass non-partisan currency bill. Such hand
ling of the currency question is devoutly to be
hoped for, but it seems too ideally good to be
possible of accomplishment While the Demo-
Gratis in congress, who are showing apparent
signs of comprehending the progressive spirit of
the people of the nation and the Progressives
might combine for such purpose, it is doubtful
if many Republicans sadded as their party is
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-05-14

today with more Wall street control than for a
good many years, could cooperate in such
legislation.
Wall street, considering its predominant
gambling interest, must have far different
currency system than the country as whole is
striving for. Wall streets gambling functions
are nourished with countless millions of dollars
drawn from the arteries of legitimate commerce
and industry. Wall street will not surrender its
prerogatives under the present currency system
without mighty strenuous fight. And we
wager it will make that fight through the instru-
mentality of the Republican party's tory repre-
sentation in congress as well as through Ryan
and Tammany Democrats.
