Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1919-05-07

This periodical visitor is a food and
is highly relished by the Arabians-
Persians and other races. Of mankind
living in arid regions.
The following quotation from the
National Geographic Society is not
only. interesting but educational, in
s.,4t it tells us how greatly the To-
Gust is relished and how to prepare
it for the table.
st. John the Baptist is spoken Of
as having lived on locusts and wild
honey. From the earliest times the
tribes that dwell on o. near the
great deserts CT Persia. Arabia and
Africa have eaten dried locusts as
food and they will keep on doing so
as long as huge swarms fly out of
the desert. n
( Arabs eat the flesh of locusts when
Killed by themselves, but refrain II
their death has been caused by cold
or the hand Of an infidel, as they
are then considered impure. Locusts
are eaten after the legs. wings and
heads have been picked off.
They are either grilled OF. broiled
and prepared with native wheat. Il
dried in the sun, they are ground to
powder and mixed with goats or
camels' milk and cooked in fat or
butter and salt. Almost every ami
nal devours locusts; even cameis
appears to like them as food.
In Paris many years ago Locust
pancakes were served in cafes. The
insects were mixed with honey in or
der to form this dish.

of the enemies of Liberty.

Of prosperity as well as the defeat
%. the enemies of Liberty.
Alexandra, at present, is far from
the top in supplying her quota. But
little over half of her allotment has
been subscribed. Let it not be said
that our old city will be found lag
ging in this important work, we
prefer to believe better things OF
her.
If the war had been loss; If Ger
many were leaving an enormous IN
demnity against the American peo-'
pie; if the American Allies in Eu-
rope were PROSTATE before re-
morseless enemy, and if the pail OF
.disheartenment hung low over the
land, then it might be understood.
The country would be sullep and
sorrowful. T. might even be in
despair and it's soul might lay
crushed within it.
But it is not a woeful picture o.
defeat which we face. 1t is not even
a picture of exhaustion. The coun-
try has barely been scorched by the
heat of war. It armed itself for q
conflict scheduled to run far into this
year and perhaps into 1920. But
through the courage and resourceful'
ness of the men in the field the tr:-
umph over Germany came far ahead
Of time. It came before America
had her opportunity to throw the
full weight of her power into the
balances.

LOCUSTS ON THE MENU

A contemporary says the high:
cost of living will probably get its
death blow during the coming sum-
mer, for. the people of the United
States, at least those who live east
of the Blue Ridge mountains and
north of North Carolina, will have
aboundant food at their disposal if
they will only go out and gather it
from the fields and the woods. We
refer to the seventeen-year locusts.

LOAN FACES FAILURE

United States Treasury officials
are puzzled at the attitude of many
people concerning The Victory Loan.
The loan, it is feared, faces dis
graceful failure through the indif-
ference of individuals, many of
whom have no legitimate excuses to
offer. Thousands of working girls
and youths Of meagre incomes have
actually denied themselves in order
to subscribe to this loan, which, as
the Gazette stated yesterday, is
within the reach of all; hence there
is but little excuse for any one.
We are passing through an era Of
high wages, and money was never
more plentiful. There is remunera-
tive work for all, but, unfortunately,
as is generally the case during food
tides, large percentage of surplus
earnings is devoted to Injuries and
extravagarces.
The recession of this tide is in
evitable, and when the downward
current sets in the great mass will
find themselves no better off than
they were a few years ago. Money
is now quickly earned and
spent quickly. A Victory Bond
neither, eats nor drinks. 1t is as
money and represents our surplus
capital. The payments are made
easy to all.
Six months ago Patriotism was
animating our nation. We were
realizing the world war had been
won and the naughty German was
hors de combat. The spirit which
animated us then is appealed to now.
The picture of good-natured
workman in the act of placing his
hand in his pocket while uttering the
words, "Sure, let US finish the job"
is seen in many windows. The art
isan realizes that it is his duty to
take a part in furthering the Vic
tory Loan. The print should be an
inspiration to every man to rally
to the support of the government
which has brought about this era
