NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.:

Lettuce is one of the oldest vege-
tables known and was eaten fully 800
years before the Christian era. Aris-
totle praised it highly. Spinach was
introduced into China from Persia
about 100 B. c., but was new to Eu-
rope in the Sixteenth century. Botan-
ically, one of the most interesting
products of the garden is the cabbage
family. Kale, brussels sprouts, sa-
voy cabbage, red cabbage, collards,
kohlrabi, cauliflower and broccoli are
all varieties of one species. Carrots
were eaten by the afcients, but they
were not very popular. Watercress,
growing naturally in all north tenn
perate regions, has been eaten as
salad since the Greek and Roman
ascendancy and has been cultivated
since the Sixteenth century. Peas
were used by ancient Egyptians and
others, but were not common food in
Europe until the Eighteenth century.

he is interested with Assistant
District Attorney Ashton in the
murder, in the small town of

had lived in his youth. Will

doctors mind had jumped to this con-

This got an answer, but not the

that, he was evidently extremely
angry.
