The Can and the “can.”

But, if all this is correct, how is it that Mussolini was able to conquer Abyssinia on spaghetti and mustard (gas); and why Germany's claim to have attained to “kultur” on kraut. And, if Germany can on kraut, what about America's claim that she can by “canning”?

The truth seems to be that food is “all things to all men,” and the dish which, when eaten by one diner, will put “pep” into dyspepsia will give the jest to digestion when demolished by another.
