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

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."

Calotsbs, T^e New Kind Oi Calomel.
Hoes The Work Without The
Slightest Unpleasantness
Or Danger
You have always thought of calomel
as the best and surest medicine
i:i the world, but too nauseating for
you to take. That was the old-style
calomel. Now science has taken the
sting out of calomel by removing its
unpleasant and dangerous qualities,
and has kept all its good livercleansing
and system-purifying effects.
The next time you are bilious or
constipated ask for Calotabs, the
nauseaiess calomel. Sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirtyfive
cents. One tablet at bedtime, with
a swallow of water?that's all. No
taste, no gripping, no nausea, no
salts. You wake up in the morning
feeling fine, your liver active, your
system purified, and with a hearty
appetite for breakfast. Eat what
you please?no danger of salivation.
Your money back at any drug store
if you are not perfectly delighted
with Calotabs.?(adv.)
