On my journey through the cold up

writes in the National Magazine. The
habit Is almost universal in the val

in their mouths, I tried to chew some
leaves myself. found them tasteless,
just like hay. But when l swallowed
some Of the juice from them | found

American government that their fore

official has been received to indicate

The general belief is that President
