HOW MANY TASTES ARE
THERE?

How many different things can you
taste? A great many, you will
say, as many as there are different
articles of food. But when you have
a bad cold in your head" why do
you complain that everything tastes
alike? Because when ones nose is
not on the job, practically everything
of the same kind tastes alike. For we
really taste with our noses rather
than with our tongues. According to
Professor Harris of London, roast tur-
key, roast beef and roast horse meat
all taste alike and really have no taste
at all. We distinguish one from the
other by their smell rather than by
their taste.
Yet there are five real tastes which
we recognize by our tongues, regard
less of the smell. These are acid or
sour, alkaline or soapy, sweet, bitter
and salt. AS examples, Professor Har-
rfs says that vinegar is sour, baking
powder Is alkaline, sugar is sweet,
Quinine is bitter and salt is salty.
What does an apple taste like? Like
an apple, of course. But there is no
such thing as apple taste. The apple
may taste sweet or sour. The char
acteristic impression you get from eat
ing an apple is not taste but smell.
Try holding your nose while you eat
a slice of apple with your eyes shut
and see if you can tell it from slice
of potato.
Many of our foods really have no
taste. That is why the cooks put in
flavoring and seasoning. We are very
apt to fool ourselves by our prejudice
and preconceived ideas. When the Vol
stead act went into effect, there was
much objection raised to the near
beers" by beer drinkers, because, they
said, near beer had no taste. Yet
alcohol has no taste at ALL In most
cities for year or two before pro-
hibition most saloons had been serving
near beer as real beer and no one
noticed the difference
Castor Oil, which most of us dislike
to take, is tasteless. What we don't
like about castor Oil is the odor. That's
why the doctor or the nurse told US to
hold our nose when we swallowed it.
Even in the FIVE tastes mentioned,
the difference is in the part of the
tongue stimulated, rather than in the
substances themselves. You can taste
a sweet liquid by touching it with the
tip of your tongue. but you can't taste
bitter except in the back of your
mouth. Weak electric currents applied
to different parts of the tongue will
give all five of the tastes mentioned.

U. S. Stand PIeases Leaguers

Geneva, Switzerland = Satisfaction
was voiced in League of Nations
circles over dispatches from Washing
ton that the state department seems
convinced the league does not wish to
inject itself into the World court prob.
lem but merely point out a possible
channel of settlement by the members
of the court acting in concert. A
frank discussion of the American re-
servations, it is believed, may lead to
some agreement by the signatories
without involving the question of mo-
difying the United States senate's re-
servations. Officials reiterated that
the league organism ceases to act
once the conference invitations have
been sent out.

River Flood Sweeps Oil City, Pa.

Oil City, Pa.-Flood waters in the
Oil City business district had re-

porary relief, at least from the men
ace of high water. Practically all
the water which backed up Oil creek

other lower sections submerged.
The main icegorges in the Allegheny
river, the primary cause of the flood
continued to hold 1t was the back
ing up of the flood waters in Oil
creek, that caused the high water
to descend upon the city resulting in
$50 families being driven from their
homes and causing damage estimated
as high as $5,00O,Oo0 Oil creek rose
from to feet within 10 minutes
flooding an area 10 blocks long and
four blocks wide, including the heart
