Loss of Form.

After women pass middle age they lose

muscles that support the frame, in con-
st quence of habitua and constant pressure
OF corsets, and dependence upon The
artificial support by them afforded. Every
girl who wears corsetS that press upon
these muscles and restrict the free de-
velopment of the fibers that form them,
relieving them of their natural duties OF
supporting the spine indeed incapacilaling
them from so doing may feel sure she is
preparing herself to be dumpy woman.
A grea; pity! Failure of health among
women when the yigor OF youth passes
away is but too potent, and but too COM

Bananas as Food.

The banana has leaped into special prom
inence during recent years as a highly
desirable and nutrilive article of food, and
among those who object to the eating of
fresh meat the banana occupies an imoor-
tant place in the every day diet. Not that
this tropical fruit was unknown or unap-
preciated in days past, for 1t was neither,
but its preparation was confined to few
dishes, while modern skill and ingenuity
have devised score or more of dishes, all
different and palatabe. that may be pre-.
pared from bananas in fact a Io-course
dinner from soup to coffee may be arrang-
ed with an entire banana menu.
Banana -four is said to contain 70 per
cent. more nuriment than wheat -four,
requiring but one-sixth of the commodity
to bring about the same desired result
According to the vegetarians the banana,
in addition to being more economical than
meat, taxes the digestive organs less and
is therefore a desirable food from the
hygienic as we'll as economic point OF view.
The banana tree is exceedingly prolific
and the easy means of communicate ton
nowadays with tropical countries offers
special opportunities to the cultivafor.
