C. j; ismMnMOHMl European Hunger And Prejudice From the Litererv Digest .Mental Attitude enters strongly into the problem of feeding the world, thinks Dr. David Fairchild, of the United States Department of Agriculture, writing in The Journal of the Franklin In-tituto (Phildelphia) on "The Palate of Civilized .Man.'' Our qoutations are from an authorized reprint in The Scientific American Supplement (New York, K(bruarj 1.) Dr. Fairchild us that as a general thing people will starve rather than eat what they do not like, even when the food in question has been the staple of whole nations for centuries. We have never taken kindly to rice, for instance. and would surely object to being practically restricted to it, as are some oriental peoples. On the other hand, we had to ration ourselvts during the war in the case of wheat because European nations refused to cat Indian corn, which we Man in prolusion 10 givo mem. nc read : "Could a Southern planter or a Western fanner have imagined that the Belgians would refuse to eat his corn or that the Uritish would even under the pressure of war-prices buy cornmea! with great reluctance, and the reason he {lat corn meal is chicken-food"? The soldiers' likes and dislikes in food have no doubt restricted and hampered the prosecution of the war. Blackberry - jam formed an integral part of the ration of our miniature standing army, but is it hardly to be expected that it will* be available for the million men soon to be in the field. Now, while the events and facts are fresh ; in every one's mind, it may be well I to consider whether it may not be easier to change our minds than to j change ouj agriculture. "Consider the corn situation today J and its bearing upon the gigantic problem before us of feeding starv- ( ing Europe. When I first heard that the Belgians refused to eat corn, and that the Irish and English would eat anything else before they would touch it, my first impulse was to in-1 sist that they ought to be made to Crlurof/4 Pvro Hunt PlP ail- i thor of 'War-Bread', explained and made It entirely clear to me that a shocked and outraged people, wrought up and nervous to a high degree as?a result of the treatment they have received, is in "no mental attitude to learn to like a new food. The task of education would have ] been too long and more expensive | than the shifting of our own menu at home, and in the meantime would have cost many thousand of lives. Resort was made to the use of differ-1 ent names for corn and concealment j of it in war-bread with three parts of white flour. Sir Horace Plunkett informed me that unfortunately his; people had grown up to look upon com a.-, hog and chicken-food, and : that this prejudice was extremely, difficult to overcome, but that high j prices would in time force them to i eat it. One of the British commis- J sioners to this country remarked, | last spring, to one of our Southern ladies: "Madam, 1 wish you could send us a hundred darky cooks to teach our people how to cook com." | "Mot to like a food which has been ; the staple of peoples for thouasnds of years and today is produced by the thousand rr ill ion bushels and feeds hundreds of millions of people seems to us who like it a strange, incomprehensible spectacle. Yet it is I'" ctmniTM' ih.-iri that of the Amen can people and their indifference to that other rn-eat cerea', rice, which is produced in larger amounts than any other cereal in the world and forms the staff of life 01 hundreds of millions of civilized peoples. "It is said that Europe is dependent upon the wheat loaf, and the bakeries of that country are ill-suited to uti'ijie corn. We are sometimes inclined to insist that they should break.away from the exclusive use of the wheat loaf and learn to make corn bread?yet we have not yet learned to cook rice properly, and complain of its insipid character, which must he an attitude hard for our oriental neighbors to understand. This indifference toward rice, of which staple we even now consume only the insignificant quantity of seven pounds per cdpita, has led to the abandonment of tho fertile ricofields or the Carolinas, and today efforts arc being made to find some paying crop to take its place there, because our meaner demands have been met until very* recently by the California and Texas rice araes recently developed." nausealess calomel best medicine : for a lazy liver i I Calotsbs, T^e New Kind Oi Calomel.
