The OLDEST QUESTION

... IN HE WORLD
In the current issue of Farm and
Flreside Herbert Quick, editor Of that
publication, writes an editorial in
which are brought out many inter-
esting facts as to the use of various
meats as food. Following is an inter-
esting extract from his article:
whenever we boys found anything
animal, vegetable, or mineral-almost
which looked not absolutely repul-
sive, our first query always was, Is
1t good to eat?
THAT is the Oldest question in the
world. Every animal asks 1t n do2-
en- times q day, and let's sight AMI
smell answer It. Now that war is
making a worldwide scarcity, rs it
good to eat?' becomes worldwide
question for the human beast.
Take the whale, for instance. We
have been wasting the meat Of the
whale all the many years during which
we have been slaughtering this larg-
est Of mammals. Why? The whale is
a swimming beast which suckles its
young and lives on clean food, Now
there is a movement on foot to begin
the canning of whale beef, to be sold
at low price to those who have the
open mindedness and strength Of pal
ate to tackle it.
an Japan the meat of red dog is
great deliCacy, and dogs of other
colors are preferred to beef, mutton.
or poultry. Pork is looked upon by
the Japanese with much the Same lack
OF appetite with which we regard The
meat of the dog or horse.
Horse beef was not eaten in France
until after the siege Of 1871. Now
it is a regular article Of commerce.

THE SON OF a PROPHET.


Joseph Smith, dead in Missouri, at
:hc age of eighty.two, was the son of
Joseph Smith, prophet and seer, who,
horn in 1906, organized the Mormon
Church In 1890 This strange insti-
tuition, embracing religious, political
and social theories and practices that
shocked American sentiment for
rnnny years, was, like Milerism and
sniritism product of Western New
York.
For seven years before the organi-
zation Of the church the elder Smith
had seen visions and received ghostly
revelations, and from these and GER
tain alleged tablets he wrote the vart-
GUS books on which the Mormons HER
archy was founded. Although the
Latter-Day Saints, as they called
themselves, increased rapidly, no
body liked them as neighbours, and
they made exoduses first to Ohio, then
to Missouri, then to Illinois, and at
length, after the assassination of tho
Prophet by mob in 1874, to Utah.
Folygamy had been openly pro-
claimed in 1913, one of its chief advo.
Gates being Brigham Young, an
cpostl. On Smiths death his son
claimed the succession; but Young's
influence was greater. and under his
leadership the church was so
strengthened as on several occasions
to compel the use of Federal trops
against their Dante bands and other
so-called avengers. The Edmunds
law putting an end too polygamy took
effect in 1882.
The Joseph Smith now dead de-
Eounced the heresies of the Brigham
ties, including polgamy, and instituted
III 1860 reorganized church which,
although fanatica1, has escaped public
hostility. He is said to have been a
sincerely plous man.-New York

Showing His Contempt.

The Detroit Free Press published a
long story stating that Champ Clark
was SO drunk when he attempted to
lecture there short time ago that
the lights had to be turned of soon
after he appeared on the platform to
get him out of the house. Perhaps
this Is the method by which the speak
er Of the National House OF Rcpresen-
tatiyes shows his contempt for Hob
son and Bryan and their prohibition
tendencies.
