Y A woman who says she has never
! from any unpleasant experience known
what it was to have stomach lives al
most entirely on bananas, says the New
York Times. 1t is taste inherited,
she says, from her father, who spent
many years in a banana country, and
learned there to like them and consider
them valuable article of food. Like
his daughter, he never experiences those
troubles which are the undoing of so
many Americans, and he also credits
lit to the bananas. The first craving of
the daughter in the. morning is for a
banana, and when she rings the bell the
maid knows what is wanted and takes
a couple of bananas to her room. These
she eats before she completes her toilet,
and goes down to breakfast to find two
more beside her plate. These, with pos
sibly cup of prepared coffee, complete
her breakfast, and she thrives on the
diet She has a pretty, soft complex
ion and comfortable plumpness. The
only trouble is that away from home
there is sometimes difficulty in obtain
ing bananas, and then she suffers. This
inconvenience has made her think of
breaking up the habit, but the diet is so
simple and SO satisfactory that it seems
foolish to do so. Dates are also staple
article of food with her. But while
this is well suited to her. it is not to
other members of her family. While
they are not so comfortably uncon-
scious of that important organ, the
stomach, they are more conscious than
ever of it if they undertake banana
diet. A doctor says that if bananas
can be eaten, there is nothing which
gives more nutriment, but all people
cannot eat them without i'll effects.

good milk, two eggs, one cup of sugar,
one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-half
teaspoonful of ginger, one-half tea

And sweet is the aroma
That permeates the air
The fragrance of the spices
Dropped in with greatest care.
And as afar it's waited
To Ceylon we thea show
That there are other places
Where spicV brapZeS blow
