STRANGE VARIETIES OF FOOD
Are Shown to Have Decidedly
Different Tastes.

Strange foods, such as potato Hour,
artificial protein cakes, green bone-dust
preparations, tabloid soups, pudding
powders and other unusual things, have
come into use during the war and their
adoption serves to remind us that much
good food material is neglected in or
binary use. Only a few people eat
snails; most of US would starve amidst
plenty of locusts; and the thought of
snakes as food would give those who
call themselves civilized the shudders.
But unusual food, once become ia
niliar, is often relished. Colonel
Roosevelt got the best work from his
men on his African expedition by
promising them raw steaks from
slaughtered appropriateness. Cap
tain Bartlett, who carried StefanssOn
to the arctic water, found raw polar
bear flesh more appetizing than any
thing he had eaten at home.
Frenchmen eat snails and dog steaks
cost there more than mutton. Some
arctic tribes prefer to have their fish
decomposed before eating them, and
even then perhaps they smell no worse
than Limburger or Brie cheese. South
Americans eat lizards and mares milk
Is a favorite Russian beverage. Truly,
"there is no {; uniting for tastes. -

CITY HAVING RAPID GROWTH
norfolk Bids Fair to Break all Rec
ords at Her Present Rate
of Progress.

There is not a city in this country,
perhaps none in the world, that is
growing at more rapid rate than Nor
folk" remarked G. W. Sizer, manager
Of one of the leading hotels of that
city, at the Raleigh, the Washington
Post states. ''The last census gave
the population of Norfolk at less than
100 Today it is estimated that Nor
folk is city of 100000, or more than
double the size it was in 1910. Wash
ington prides itself on the tremendous
growth attained in the last two or
three years. / take considerable pride
In the growth of Washington, for I
lived here many years, but the pro-
portionate increase in the population
Of the national capital cannot compare
with that of Norfolk Of course, both
cities are helped by war business.
Washington, | presume, is the busiest
city in the world, but Norfolk is al
most next
Hampton Roads is filled with ships.
Battleships are passing in and out
every hour, and soldiers and sailors
are filling the streets, hotels and resi-
dences of Norfolk. Only recently /
saw some 1000 soldiers from New Zea-
land parading through the streets of
Norfolk. Many of them were not
young. New Zealand already has sent
close to 10000 men to the front in
France, and Belgium, out of a popu-
iation of 100000, and is still sending
men, which should be an object les
son to US.
Business is booming in Norfolk as
never before. The hotels are filed to
overlooking just as they are in Wash
ngton. New business blocks are go
ing up and the residence sections of
the city are being extended far into
the outlying districts. I venture to say
that in another decade Norfolk will
come close to being the leading city in
the Old Dominion, both in population
and Importance"

SELF DEFENSE
Defeat Backache and Kidney
Trouble With Anuric

Many people in this section have suffer-
ed from rheumatism and kidney trouble
and have found that Anuric was the most
successful remedy to overcome these
painful and dangerous ailments.
The lucky people are those who have
suffered, but who are now well because
they needed natures warning signal In
time to correct their trouble with that
wonderful new discovery of DR.. Pierce's
called "An-u-ric'' double strength). You
should promptly heed these warnings,
some of which are dizzy spells, backache,
irregularity of the urine or the painful
twinges of rheumatism, sciatica or lum-
bago. To delay may make possible the
dangerous forms of kidney disease, such
as stone in the bladder. If you want
quick relief buy Anuric now Goo pack
age)-or send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial pkg.
This will prove that "Anuric" eliminates
uric acid as hot water melts sugar.

"FIyinq Fish" Torpedo.

Aerial torpedoes- bane of Ger
man submarine crews and tirst-line
trenches-have been called Tying
fish," because their tapering cylindrl-
cal bodies and huge air-fins suggest
the tropic sea creatures. Inc torpe-
does are held upright in the air and
given a diving velocity by the air re-
sistance which strikes the fins, spin.-
ming them round and round. Con-
trary to popular impressions, certain
forms of air resistance speed up rather
than retard falling objects. Not
only the aerial torpedoes, but all air
plane bombs and darts, are now groov-
ed or filmed to whirl IN 1an-
ing. The German Zeppelin bombs
are similarly constructed.
