The talk to the effect that grass
hoppers are edible is not appetizing to
average Americans, and the observa-
ton that John the Baptist lived on To-
Gusts and wild honey is not convinc-
ing. Students of Scripture prefer as
a rule to think that the '1ocusts' re-
ferred to were not insects but the fruit
of the locust tree-known in COM
merce as ST. Johns bread-which
looks like huge dried bean, and
tastes something like cross between
bananas and dates. Turkeys are vo-
racious eaters of grasshoppers. 1t is
suggested by the Detroit Free Press
that Americans feed the grasshoppers
to turkeys and eat the turkeys.

TOUCHING woop.

To ''touchs wood or iron as sup
posed safeguard from the conse-
quences of emulation or boasting is a.
superstition of ancient origin and sur
wives in form little understood by
most people who believe in its eff
cacy, says Washington Post. Authori-
ties on these subjects tell us that it
dates from the time when the oak, the
ash and the rowan Cor mountain ash)
were held sacred to the gods of the
heather. Il See" says Emily Ann
Wellman. that new interest has
been given to the superstition by Mr.
Balfour, the most philosophically
minded of all English politicians. Ac-
cording to my English newspapers,
when Mr.. Asquith referred In his great
war speech in the house of commons
to the insignificant number of British
losses In the transport of men and
stores to the theaters of war, the first
lord of the admiralty leaned forward
to gravely touch the wood of the
clerks table ''This is not the first
time that such a sign has been made
in the house of commons. A late war
secretary of Great Britain openly ex-
pressed his faith In the superstitious
belief, and on my travels through the
British Isles happened to be in the
Isle of Man ON old May day once,
and found that crosses of the rowan
tree were placed over the doors of
houses as an effective preventive
against the visitation of fairies and
other spirits"

In the last decade the mortality rate
in the United States-or in those
states which keep statistics-has de-
clined almost IL per cent. That means
that 10000 lives were saved last year
that would have been wasted through
preyentable disease ten years ago. The
conservation is the result of the great
progress in medicine, but particularly
in sanitation, since 1905. The figures
bring home the immense importance
of health measures and of their en-
forcement by health boards on the
basis of efficiency, without regard to
political influence.

Sleeping in a bathtub full of water
kept at blood temperature is claimed
by some physicians to give the re-
quired amount of rest in half the time
that sleeping in bed requires. In 9TH
er words. four hours sleep In bath
tub elled with water at the proper
temperature-and always maintained
at that temperature-will result in the
exact amount of restfulness that eight
hours in bed will give. The explana-
ton is that warm water completely re-
lakes the nerves. which ordinary sleep
does not necessarily do. The most
difficult part of this treatment is in
maintaining the water at a constant
temperature. For the purpose of ac-
complishing this result, middle-wesI-
ern manufacturer has recently brought
out on the market thermostatic wa
ter control apparatus. In practice.
the patient climbs into a bathtub
flied with water, his head protruding
through a hole in rubber blanket
which is strapped around the edges
of the tub. Water constantly flows
in at one end of the tub and out at the
other.

Sluggish Liver.

One with a sluggish liver should
have more outdoor exercise and hot
rub bath daily. She should use either
a loofa or bath brush and dry with

hot water before breakfast every morn
ing and walk at least a mile every
morning and walk briskly, not saunter.
