IDEAS ABOUT FOODS DIFFER
oeiicae'es Among Some Peoples Are
Looked Upon With Distinct
.. Aversion by Others.

There's no accounting for the
freaks OF human appetites," writes w.
J. Showalter to the National
Geographic society. describing some
strange foods as follows:
1.-The Roosevelt story of how he got
the best work ont Of the men with
sharp-tiled teeth by promising them
the choicest bits of raw hippopotamus
and rhinOcerOs steak for speed in skin
ming. will be recalled by many. Capt
Robert H. Bartlett. commander OF the
Karluk. which carried StefanssOn to
Arctic waters. says that on his return
from Herald island to northern Siberia
he found raw polar bear meat tasting
better than any piece de resistance he
had ever eaten in the home country
THE Frenchman likes his snails and
wonders how anyone who accepts oys-
tiers can refuse them. In Canton,
China. rats sell for 40 cents a dozen,
and dog steak brings more per pound
than leg OF mutton. The Chinese
mandarin pays $50 pound for the
birds nests from which his soup is
cOncocted. In parts Of the West In
dies the palm worm IL stewed in fat,
while certain African tribes are as
fond of caterpillars as an American
Is Of reed birds on toast. The Turk
is as disgusted with the oysters we
eat as We are with the fish the COrsi-
can relishes.
Eating earth. or geophagy. is a
common thing in many parts Of the
world. In some parts Of Europe a
butter is made Of fine clay. and in
other regions various kinds of earths
are sold in the open market. The Per
slams use some varieties Of soil in max
Ing their sweetmeats. while in Mexico
the eggs Of certain species Of flies are
used by the Indians in making food
paste which Is regarded as a great
delicacy."

Daily water censumpsie,.

The quantity Of water used daily in
the United States for drinking. bath
ing. cooking and washing Is surprising.
Statisticians say that the average
family contains three members. and
that each family uses 80 gallons day
to each member Of tie household. The
consumption Of water for household
and personal use thus amounts to the
enormous total Of 4OO,OOO.O 900 cubic
feet daily. This quantity Of watef
wdpid keep q Niagara Falls going for
a period Of IS minutes. A ship afiOat
displaces an amount Of water equal to
its own weight. The Leviathan. with a
tonnage Of $1,000. displaces 1.6OO.OOO
cubic feet Of water. 1t would take 80
such iant>steamers to dispiace the
quantity Of water that the American
public II said to consume every day.

MEDALS TO TOpEKANS
Former Members of Company A, 10th
f. S. Battalion, Received Charms.


A shipment of watch charms. made
by a Paris jeweler nearly two years
ago, arrived in Topeka Monday and
will be distributed to the former mem
bers of Company A, 10th field signal
battalion.
The charms are made of silver and
have engraved upon one side the in
sigma of the battalion, while upon
the other side is the insignia of the
Thirty-fifth division. On the bars of
the cross are the. names of the four
engagements in which the battalion
participated-the Vosges, St. Mihiel,
Verdun and the Argonne. The medals
may be obtained tomorrow night from
Ed Taylor, former first sergeant, at
the Elks' club between z and $3.50

Before the armistice was signed the
members of the battalion agreed upon
the watch charms as a souvenir of
their overseas service. They gave the
order to a Paris jeweler, thinking
they would be ready before the bat
Talon sailed for home. But the men
came home, while the medals follow

in a customs house, the express COM
pany being unable to obtain them.
About fifty of the eighty members
of the company live in Topeka or
near by. All were participants in the
four engagements. A few of the
medals do not bear the names of all
four battles, as some of the remaining
thirty members who live away from
Topeka were engaged only in from
one to three of the battles.
