Eating Earth
as a Food.

Among many strange foods
which the inhabitants OF this world
partake and consider delicacles,
perhaps the strangest of all IS
earth. Yet there are tribes, the
Lastians of Siam, who actually eat
and enjoy earth. 1t has never been
discovered where these peculiar
people contracted this habit, though
il ID generally believed that IL pro-
badly came about the time of
famine when there was nothing
else to be had.
However. old and young, rich
and poor alike indulge freely in it's
consumption. 1t is preferred when
it bias been acquired from the VI
cinity of waters so that it carries
with it taste of fish. 1t is made
into pastry substance and smo-
thered in the ground in a hot fire.

yellow, brown, gray and even pink
which is looked upon as very de.

POLITICAL GOsSIPS

When one class of people has any
thing to say, it has become largely
the custom to make political issue
out Of IL Instead of friendly discus.
sion, to print 1t In a law book instead
of new paper and to argue 1t be-
fore a jury instead of to settle 1t in
the higher courts of Common Sense.
As a rcs..lt, political agitators, polit-
zeal lawyers, political preachers and
masculine women are powerful in
politics sGd dissension, selfishness, In
tolerance and Mysteries run rampant
in pubic affairs, for when the low,
damp, mnrky atmosphere OF misun-
derstanding envelops public thought
il breeds political reptiles, vermin,
bugs and lice which the pure air OF
truth and the sunshine of understand
ing win choke to death,
We nave too many self-appointed
interpreters of industry who are In
capable of grasping the fundamental
PRINCIPLES of business and who at best
can only translate gossip and add
color to sensational stories. No bust,
ness can stand upon error and might
rules II ght or wrong. No industry
can thrive upon misunderstanding,
for public opinion is more powerful
than a Kings sword.
When prejudice, suspicion and
CLASS hatred prevail, power gravitates
into the hands of the weak, for dema-
gogues thrive upon dissension and
statesmen sicken upon strife.
The remedy lies In eliminating the
miadleman--the political gossip-and
this result can be accomplished by
the managers OF business sitting
around the table of industry and talk
ing 1t over with the people Inter
change Of information between indus
tries and the people is as necessary
TO success in business as interchange
in commodities, for the people can
only rule when the public under
stands. Away with political interpret
