"PotwalIoper" Word With History.


Potwalloper is a slang word with Il
history, meaning literally pot boiler.
There is an old English word Wallop,
meaning to boil with Il bubbling sound
Before the passage of the so-called re-
form act of 1882, persons in England
who had occupied a single room and
boiled a pot fer six months claimed
the right to vote in an election for
members of parliament, on the ground
that boiling a pot and cooking food at
their own fire made them household
ers, The act of 1882 recognized their
claim by providing that those who had
previously exercised the right of suf-
frage on that ground should not be de
prived of it, but the act gave a new
definition for householder. Pot boiler
the modern form of potWalloper,
means one who does literary or arts
tic work by the job, mainly to keep
the pot boiling. 49,.

Bruqes a City of Bridges.

Bruges is picturesque old city, a
city of bridges and the Venice of the
North. There the early printer Man
sion taught his art to the English mer-
chant CaXton, who carried the art to
England and began printing, preserv-
ing for us some of the most remark
able pieces of English literature, for
he was the first printer Of Chaucer.
All the ACTS have flourished in Elan
ders. Indeed, in the early Middle
Ages it might be said to be the CEN
ter of industrial art in Europe. Even
now the tapestries of Bruges, the laces
Of f. hent haye their praises sung, and
the towers of the ancient country have
inspired a host of poets, for its old
bells and it's ancient architecture have
been the joy of artists from every part
0fsthe world. Alas! the cruel inva-
sion of the Germans has reduced to
ruins the historic Cloth hall at Ypres,
which was built, by that Count Bald
win who afterward led crusade at
Constantinople, and have made other
towns unrecognizable.
Flanders was the home of the
guilds in the Middle Ages, and many
of the guild halls are to be seen to-
day, the product of an age of artis-
tic architecture. The loss to the
world of art by the invasion of Elan
ders cannot be estimated, and now
most. of its art objects are merely a
| memory.

With Newport it is one of the most

Formerly Opposed the French.
Although the Flemfngs are fighting
side by side with the French, they had

parents in Flanders have pursued the

permit their children to learn a single

abutting Germany, there is reason to
believe that long ago Belgium would
have fallen to the German empires and
probably without any serious strug-
gle.
The events of the opening days Of
the present war, however, have
changed the entire face of Belgium's
history and that of Flanders also.
Today the people of Flanders have
seen their beautiful cities reduced to
ruins and their people enslaved by a
cruel conquerOr. At the same time
they have seen France and England
come to their assistance, and Flanders
hereafter probably will not be so
proud of it's Low Dutch language that
it will neglect the study of French,
which is the language used largely in
other parts of Belgium.

CORNkEAL NUTRITIOUS,
SAYS OHIO FOOD EXPERT
Points Out That Lees Army Lived
Weeks Before Appomattox
on This Product.

Two things the American table pro-
WIDER must learn-variety and substi-
tuition. This is the statement of B. H.
Kroger Of Cincinnati, the man who
buys more foodstuffs in Ohio than all
the hotels in the state combined. The
average menu, he says, is too monoto-
nous and too costly.
Because of the monotony it creates
waste, and just now that is criminal"
he says. "The trouble is that Ameri-
cans don't care enough about their
meals. They don't plan them. although
nutrition is one of the essentials of eX-
fstence Some enormously think it a
form of gluttony to consider in ad
vance what they are going to eat.
Eat cornmeal in quantities." he
says. But get interested enough to
secure the right kind of meal, because
there's a wide difference. The coarsest
is the best for most purposes. But
that's only one dish. The same rule
applies to all others. The man who is
Indifferent to food is hit the hardest
by it's cost. Get acquainted with the
business of keeping yourself alive
through the function of feeding. 1t
pays"
The fact that Lees armies lived on
parched corn virtually for weeks be-
fore Appomattox shows how nutri-
tious that cereal really is. The red
Indians subsisted through the long
winters largely upon coarse cornmeal,
ground in rude mortars with ruder
pestles. They boiled it and baked it
and sometimes made cakes of it. They
never knew the meaning Of autointox-
ication because their digestive appara-
tus functioned properly through the
assistance given by this foodstuff.
1t is one Of the confounding signs of
the times that Americans, with a vast
store of this foodstuff, the cheapest in
the world. too, at their very doors, per-
NIT themselves actually to suffer. In
Italy the common people eat it in vast
quantities, polenta, or cornmeal mush,
being really the national dish and not
spaghetti. They have hundred ways
Of utilizing it and have devised end
less combinations with other food ma
terial. Hog and hominy sustained the
pioneers in this country who won the
west from the wilderness. Physicians
say that when the American people re-
turn to making it a part of their daily
ration large percentage of stomach
trouble will disappear.
