VALUE OF BANANA Nature Provides Good Substitute for Wheat and Meat. IN THIS FRUIT Is Universally Liked—Use is Advocated by Food Experts. Nature seems to have intended the banana to play an important part in oto diets, for besides being nutritious, this fruit is universally liked, is piontn'll, always in season, available e\. rywhere, all meat, easy to handle.

convenient for the hineh-lmx, good when cooked, good when uncooked, and always wholesome owing to the thick skin with which nature has protected It from dirt nnd germs. Travelers who have been through the African Jungles tell us that a nat ive there will rise at dawn, eat two or three bananas, and then start out on a day’s march, carrying as much as 75 pounds on his head, and going the entire day through almost impassable jungles until night-fall, when ho oats four or five more bananas, and then goes to bed, considering himself wellfed. And he is well-fed so far as getting siililcient nutriment Is concerned, his morning meal being equal to about a pound of broad, and his evening me-il ’ of four or five bananas being equiva--1 lent in food value to nearly a pound , of porterhouse steak. Unfortunately, we products of civil!- ( zation demand variety in our diet. Snell as exclusive banana menu as ; that of tho African savage, if we tried to adopt it. would so jade our tastes ■ in a week that we would bo about | ready to surrender to starvation rath I er than look at a banana again. » There is no reason, however, especI ially since the banana may be served I in a variety of ways, why we cannot - I use this fruit more freely than most | of ns do as a substitute for tho moat I and wheat that the IT. S. Food Admin Istration urges us to save to send to the allies. In buying bananas, first bo sure that the fruit is thoroughly ripe. Tho only way to make bananas digestible is to peel and boil them in boiling water for twenty-five minutes. Cooked so, they may be served as a vegetable. If raw bananas do not agree with you ,bake them. In this state they are very easily digested. To do this. | peel and cut them lengthwise into halves before putting them into the baknig pan. Have your oven moder-, ately warm and bake about 15 minutes. A little sweetening and lemon, juice gives a pleasant flavor. Bananas in rye bread sandwiches are always liked by the children. Two such sandwiches with a glass of milk make a nourishing and well balanced lunch for a school girl or boy. Other ways of eating bananas include frying, serving them cut up in apple sauce, or rice, putting them into ? puddings, cakes, croquettes, fritters, | salads, ice-creams, jellies, short cake, I —the list lengthens out indefinit My ■ until the ingenious housekeeper finds I almost as many possibilities in the I banana as Aladdin found in his lamp.
