Cancer Unknown Among
Habitual Onion Eaters
Once more the humble onion is be-
ing honored by a medical authority
writes the Paris correspondent of the
London Daily Telegraph According
to Doctor Lakbovsky who has for
Sone years been engaged In cancer
research work raw onions are not
only a preventive but also a cure for
cancer Onions he says like a nom-
ber of other vegetables have radio-
active properties when eaten raw and
te has sought to make use of theta
lie found from statistics wlikit he
collected from all parts of the world
that in those places where raw onions
formed a staple part of the ordinary
diet cancer was practically unknown
There are certain communities of
Jewish ascetics In Russia and Poland
who live exclusively oa bread raw
onions and water and among these
to declares not a single case of can-
cer has boon recorded Serbians Nil
patens and certain counnunitles In
the Caucasus who eat raw onions
'Idly are singularly free from cancer

Indian Lore Parallels

Charles Lamb:s delightfully told

The Indbin Mgend has It that the
ancient founders Of 'Alexican civiliza-

In the forests that they set tire to the
trees and cleared the land They no-
ticed that grains of maize and other
plants which the fire had roasted were
very delicious to the palate They
collected sine UnbUIT grains and
planted them in the same soil and

Sausages Known to Greeks

tant Nvhich is dated 22i A D ex-

"with meat and blood and a great

sausages calling them oyrue a name

Origin of "O K"
The expression "OK" was men-

President 1Vilson who at once gave
the explanation that "Okeh" is Choc-

garded as disposing of the oft-repeated
story that certain Illiterate American
gold minors were in the habit of er-
tifying payments to them in connec-
tion with the sale of "dust" by ap-
pending to receipts the letters "OK"

Britain's Flag Traced
to Arms of Conqueror

In 1060 of course through the years
many changes have taken place in the
British emblem but the traces of Wil-

Nothing definite Is known of the be-
ginnings of the use of flags In Japan
lieraldry In that country is of a elm-
14er character than that of Europe It
Is practieally limited to the use of
"mon" which can be compared In
character to the "crests" of European
heraldry The tricolor of France
traces its Introduction to the time of
the French revolution but the origin
of the flag and its colors Is a dis-
puted question

United Colonies had a circle of 13

Stern Disciplinarian
Strictest of all the generals who
served Louis XIV in the earlier days
of that monarch's long reign was
Marshal Martinet says an article In
Popular Biography Soldiers of those
times were not accustomed to stern
discipline the standing army as such
was just beginning to come into being
and the warriors were still permitted
much of the freedom they had enjoyed
In medieval days
Martinet's hundreds of regulations
his Insistence upon the correct detail
akays his unfailing and Impartial
discipline made him unpopular but at
the same time marked him as a pi-
oneer Even today the word "martinet"
means in French or In English a stern
taskmaster a stickler for detail

Not Known How Podunk
Acquired Odd Meaning
"dulik is a derisive name for any
small out-of-theway country town or
sas an article In Pallitinder
Magazine No such post office is list-
ed in the United States Postai Guide
flud it is LIt known how the name ac-
tinired its mid meaning As early as
1S71 John IL Bartlett defined Podunk
as "tt term applied to au imaginary
place in burlek writing or speaking"
The name is of Indian origin
The Podunk Indians were a mall
tribe who lived in South Windsor
Hartford county Conn and Podunk
their village was at the mouth of the
small stream which still bears the
name Podunk At the close of King
Phillips' war in lit7ti the Podunks
also known as the Windsor Indians
disappeared lvith the hostile warriors
and never returned
There is a Podunk pond in North
Prookileid Worcester county 'Altiss
and a local historian gives the Indian
meaning of the name as "place of
burning" It seems more probable
that Podunk is identical with Potwar
a place !Mlle on Long Island which is
probably derived from "I"tuk-olike"
an Algonquinian word meaning "a neck
or cornor of land"
Revere Remembered for
Skill as Silversmith
Pas' Revere may go down In
tory to the world at large for his fa-
tuous ride to rouse the Minute men
and warn them of the upproach of
the British but in New England a
personal touch will be added to the
stories told of him through the fact
that many samples of his skill as a
silvermith still exist and are hIghly
prized heirbums In many a home
Ills example in designing silver has
been followed so successfully that the
silversmiths of New England now en-
joy a reputation wherever table sil-
ver Is known
The silver used in the manufacture
of tahleware (Nunes into the factories
In Ingots sheets or Nvires It is
stamped into the various outlines and
designs desired and then gradually
worked Into the shapes sought The
silver is annealed letween steps in
order to keep it soft and pliable
Johnson's Manners Bad
Samuel once wrote a biog-
rapher when at table was totally ab-
sorbed in the busilleSS of the moment
his looks seemed riveted to his plate
nor would he unless when in very
high company say one word or even
pay the least attention to what WEIS
said by others till he had satisfied Ills
appetite which was so fierce and in-
dulged with such intenseness that
while in the act of eating the veins
of his forehead swelled and generally
a strong perspiration was visible To
those whose sensations were delicate
this could not but be disgusting and
it was doubtless not very suitable to
the character of a philosopher who
should be distinguished by self-cornround
Colt of Moon Wwrhipera
London is full of queer cults one
neer hears about Who would Imag-
ine that every time there Is a new
moon 30 men and women dash down
to a secret spot in Sussex murmur in-
cantations bow their heads three
times to the ground aud finish up the
evening by singing songs in praise of
the lunar orb? Yet a society exists
which does these things One would
imagine that people who would take
part in such an exploit would be out-and-out
cranks Yet the leader a
most intelligent man stresses the fact
that the moon Nvorsli ipers are all com-
posed of well-known and eminently re-
spectable people—London
