Elephant,s Foot

Sometimes, during the war, we had
rather curious bread, but we were
neyer-so fur as we know-treated to
"Hottentot's bread" This is the name
of tropical plant, name given to II
because its root-stock is used as a food
by the Hottentots. And because this
root-stoek is a large, fieshy mass, cut
ofr at the end, and covered with a
corky, cracked bark. the plant is also
called elephants foot" Out Of this
rough foot springs a climbing stem,
bearing leaves and flowers.
The name Of elephants foot" is
also given to a genus Of plants found
In India, having root-leaves which
bear some resemblance TO the foot of
an elephant.

He spoke ut the annual dinner Of the
Hiawatha Club in Calvin Presbyterian
Church.. Sixtieth and Master streets.
His subject was Immigration.
Mr.. Wallis said the examination Of
immigrants in Europe would eliminate
''the great injustice to many who use
their life savings, make important prep.

this country, only to be sent back for
some mental, or physical defect discov~
