Sonin of tho crudest expretwlons In tho English tongue had their origin In poetry, and even religions com mands. Aiming these the phrase, "to go the whole hog,” Is u striking ex ample. Today It Is looked upon as a vulgarism. Yet the words were ob tained directly from a poem by Cow per, whose title Is the pretty term, “Love of the World Reproved." The poem Is the versifying of an Arabian etory that seems well founded In fact. Mohammed in giving fortli Ills laws declared that a certain part of the pig should not he eaten, hut he forgot to mention just what part it was that he thought unclean. Ills followers, to ■mke sure of not violating his com mands, debarred the whole pig. As there were many, however, who were denrly fond of pork, they met and agreed that one would eat the steaks, «ne the chops, one tin* feet, and so on, until the whole pig had been eaten, and thus but one of the feasters could b« made to suffer for the sin. As Cow per says: "They thought It hard from the whole pig to he debarred,” and adds: "With sophistry, tlielr sauce they sweeten, till finite from tall to snout, ’tis eaten."

Jliildren Cry for Fletcher’s Castoria THIS GRAIN TRULY “GOLDEN” How Discovery of Prolific Gold Field Was Made in Mysore, State of India. One of the world’s most prolific gold Helds at the present time is in the Kolar district (Mysore state) of India. Discovery of It was made in a curious way. in prosperous years, when the gods favored the valley with an ample har vest of rice, grains of gold were found now and then on rice ears. This great ly mystified the natives, who ascribed tlu> gold to supernatural powers. What probably happened was that these grains, derived from the gravelly soil, lodged on the young rice plants when they were being grown In nur series (for subsequent transplantation to the fields) and flooded at intervals with water. The strange occurrence, at first dimmed supernatural, led to the discov ery that the gravels of the valley were rich in gold, brought down from the mountains. Since then the Kolar dis trict has contributed largely to the world’s supply of the yellow metal. Opposing Inclinations. "That man has horse sense."

When I wrote this arti cle I meant to show* war was an evil, not that this government was unwor thy of Support.
