DANGER IN SODA.

Common soda is all right in its
place and indispensable it the kitchen
and for cooking and washing purposes,
but it was never intended for medi-
cine, and people who use it as such will
some day regret it.
We refer to the common use Of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
Il habit which thousands Of people
practice almost daily, and one which
is fraught with danger; moreover, the
soda only gives temporary relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as Il mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels, and cases are on record where
it accumulated in the intestincs caus-
ing death by Inflammation or peri

BREAD FROM BANANAS.

A common article of food in the
West Indies is -four made from the
bread fruit. The fruit is cut into
"pees" or strips and dried in the sun,
than ground to powder in mortar
and sifted. This -four makes very
convenient and highly nutritious addi-
tion ia the hemper of provisions the
negro usually takes with him when
travelling for from his home, and he
well knows the art of making it into
variy of apetising dishes. The plan
tain is sometimes treated in the same
way, as well as the banana, which
gives sweeter and richer flour than
either the plantain or the bread fruit
1t is estimated that the banana has
forty four times more nutritive value
than the potrto and is twenty-five
times more nutritious than good white
bread. This fact has induced the
French Government to send a COM
mission to the United States and Cen
trail America with view Of investi-
eating the adaptability of the banana
plant for extensive agricultural opera
tion in the Congo in the production of
cheap food for working classes in Bel
gium. Should this commission report
favorably on the subject of their inves-
tigation. a new and vast industry will
be established. which interests the
United States very closely, from the
fact of Porto Rico and Cuba possess
ing hundreds of thousands of acres on
which the finest varieties of the banana
can be successfully grown. 1t highly
probable that another industry will
grow up from the association of this
country with the West Indies. The
banana in it's candied form is deli
cious sweetmeat. Macy people prefer
it infinitely to dried figs. 1t is simply
made. The ripe banana is cut into
thin slices and laid in the tropical sun
until it becomes a sweet, semi-gelati-
nous mass. The slices are packed in
boxes with a dusting of fine sugar be-
tween each layer, and are ready for
shipment. This process, though not
elaborate, requires core and watchful-
ness, without which the product may
be inferior and unattractive. But if
the curing and pabking are properly
done and the cured fruit it put on the
American market, it is not improbable
that will soon take the place Of the fig
for desert purposes.
