 pickled in brine, as a 

 relish. From our stand- 

 point, the Asiatic is a 

 greatly underfed being, 

 and yet wherever men 

 are employed tribute is 

 paid to the physical en- 

 durance of the Chinese 

 coolie (see page 5). 



The food of the 180,- 

 000,000 people who live 

 in Africa is almost as 

 simple as that of the 

 Asiatics. It is largely 

 vegetable, although

Taking the world's

 proper allowance for the 

 less improved methods 

 of stock-raising on other 

 parts of the globe as 

 compared with those of 

 the United States, it ap-
