GROWS FAT ON BAKED BANANAS.

Here's n Man Who Has Had Little
Else In Twelve Years.
From the New York Press.
For nearly'a 6czen years Cricton Camp
bell has lived almost entirely upon baked
bananas. Not only has he saved large
sums in grocery and hotel bills. but he has
grown fat and robust on his diet and de-
elares that ne has scarcely known a sick
moment since he discarded other food and
began living on the tropical fruit
MIR. Campbell is a clairvoyant. and has
delved deeply in occultism, but he insists
that that has nothing to do with his baked
banana diet, and that any ordinary per
con can live and prosper on 1t.
Mr.. Campbell learned the nutritive prop

ing in India. He noticed that all the labor.
ing men seemed remarkably strong and
vigorous. and upon inquiry found that they
subsisted altogether upon baked plantains
He tried them himself, and with such good
results that he has been a stanch advoca te
of them ever since.
Take ordinary bananas, said Mr.
Campbell to Press reporter, don't pee
them. but cut the ends off a quarter of ar
inch. Then lay them on tin platter, and
without any other addition, bake then
fifteen minutes in a hot bake-oven.
when the bananas are soft the Skin
will burst open like baked apple. Ther
turn them over SO that the under side
will beceme perfectly soft, and bake five
minutes longer"
The bananas. according to Mr. Campbell
should be served extremely hot. and Oh

All citizens Celebrate the Success OF

ithaca, N. Y, June 26.-This was
Jubilee day in Ithaca. The Cornell
crews have had many victories, but
none so popular as yesterdays triumph
over Yale and Harvard. When the
news came that Cornell had signally
defeated both Yale and Harvard the
scene in the streets was almost be-
yond description Students embraced
each other, and professors forgot their
dignity as they cheered and flung their
hats in the air. In an incredibly short
time the business houses on the prin-
cipal streets of the city were decorated
with the red and white of Cornell, and
as the ringing Of bells spread the news
all over city private residences
were hastily decorated with American
flags and the Cornell colors.
The students and Ithaca citizens Sc
cured a band last night and paraded
the streets of the city. Many of the
paraders were dressed in fantastic cos
tunes Of red and white, with hats and
parasuls in the same popular colors.
There were crowds or spectators all
along the line of march, and repeated
cheers were given for Cornell, the var
sity crew and Coach Courtney Al
though some happy students visited the
compus, President Schurman and most
OF the prominent professors were at
the race or elsewhere out Of the city,
and no speeches were made.
Soon after the result of the race was
known cannons began to boom in var
ious parts of the city, and the stock
of cannon crackers laid in by the deal

tically exhausted, Small boys APP

Every house in town was displayng

nouncing the time and the distance by
which Cornell won. Last nights celo-
bration, however, is regarded as only
a preliminary outburst TO what wi.
happen when the crew comes home.
