taxes, repairs and insurance and
has paid 72 per cent dividends since

be a fue one for business, could be

the project will be pushed vigor-

BANANA A PROMINENT FOOD
Long Regarded as LUXURY by Ma
tives OF Tropics-Bread and
Coffee Facts.

Long regarded only as luxury for
children or proper food for the dark.
skinned natives of the tropics, the
banana has advanced to a place of
prominence as a great food product
The United States and other great ma
tions having colonies in the tropics
have been investigating the food value
OF the banana and the results obtained
are so satisfactory that the nutritious
banana is taking its place as staple
food among all civilized nations.
To overcome all objections, the
banana has been especially dried and
prepared for food by making into
fine flour out of which bread is
made, and other process turns the soft
mushy banana into a wholesome cof-
fee.
The st. Louis Exposition IS being
used by the manufacturers of banana
bread and banana coffee to introduce
this new food to the world. Now this
nutritious bread and coffee are served
daily to visitors in the Palace of
Agriculture, as one of the many OBJ
1ect lessons in food at the Worlds
Fair.

Features in Food and Drink.

The Worlds Fair is full of new
things, new features and Interesting
experiments in the way # food and
drink. Prominent among the new bev-
erages introduced at the Exposition
are banana coffee and prune coffee.
At one Of the California county ex-
hibits in the Palace of Agriculture the
prune coffee is furnished by the
county, to teach the public the value of
this experiment as a pleasant beverage.
The banana coffee is served in the
same building, but at different ex-
hibit, the purpose being to show the
wonderful food value OF the banana.

COFFEE DISPLAY EXTENSIVE
South and Central America Exploit
Their Great Product-Porto
Rico Represented.

The value of the st. Louis Exposi.
tion as an advertising institution and
school Of instruction is fully appre
ciated by the great coffee growing
countries of South and Central Amer.
lea. These countries are showing
their coffees to the thousands OF
Worlds Fair visitors and creating new
demands for the better varieties pro-
duced, which now find a market at
home or in England and Germany.
The countries claim as great merit
for their high grade coffees as is pos,
sessed by the famous Mocha and Java,
and they seek to give the public an
object lesson in the use of coffee.
Brazil serves coffee every afternoon to
all visitors at the Brazil building,
free of charge, in order that they may
sample a better grade of Rio
Porto Rico also has an extensive
coffee exhibit, with the hope of pro-
noting a larger trade with it's new
mother country.

BOUNDARY CHANGES.

Contention Between the Two South
ern States Brings Out Some Sensa-
t'onaI Facts Regarding Topography
Of the Country.
The testimony taken for the United
States supreme court in the case OF
the Louisiana Mississippi boundary
has proved as sensational as it was
expected to be in the matter of the
marvellous changes that have taken
place in the topography of the coun-
try in recent years.
The question at issue is the coast
line of Louisiana in 1912, because this
fixes the water boundary of the state
and determines whether the oyster
reefs off the coast, valued at $lO,OO0,-
900. belong to Louisianan or Missis-
sippi The old maps declare in favor
of louisiana The contention of Mis-
sissippi is that these maps are in
correct, and that the country in dis
pute has always been the mixture of
marsh, mud and water it is to-day.
AS the country was uninhabited and
deemed valueless, the photographers
did not think it worth while to mako
q survey of the marsh and give petty
details in which no one was interest
ed Therefore they made the entire
section in dispute dry land in their
maps.
Much testimony was heard from
fisherman, yachtsmen, and others who
had visited the country at different
times in 25 years. They told of mar
velous changes, some in q single
night of islands that had appeared
and disappeared, and land that was a
point one day and bayou the fol-
lowing day. One witness, leading
merchant, of New Orleans, who
cruised through this section in 1891
visited it again this year. Although
there had been no storm during this
period, he had found the face of the
country so changed as to be scarcely
recognizable. Round island, which he
visited on his first trip, had disap-
peared, although still shown on all
maps. There is a lighthouse still
shown, but this has not been in ex-
istence for years, the island washing
away piece by piece.

LEARNING THINGS
We Are All in the Apprentice Class.

When a simple change of diet brings
back health and happiness the story is
briefly told. A lady of Springfield, H.,
says: After being afflicted for years
with nervousness and heart trouble,
received a shock four years ago that
left me in such a condition that my
life was despaired Of. | could get no
relief from doctors nor from the num-
berless heart and nerve medicines |
tried because l didn't know that the
coffee was daily putting me back more
than the Drs. could put me ahead.
Finally at the request of a friend l
left off coffee and began the use of
Postum and against my convictions |
gradually improved in health until for
the past 6 or 8 months I have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells Of heart trouble.
my troubles all came from the use
Of coffee which drank from childhood
and yet they disappeared when | quit
coffee and took up the use of Postum u
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Many people marvel at the effects OF
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum
but there IS nothing marvellous about
it--only common sense.
Coffee is a destrover-Postum is a
rebuilder. That's the reason.

tie book, "The Road to Wellville."

PUT OUT A FIRE WITH EGGS.
Lamp Starts Blaze, But the Impro-
vised Extingushers Save the Day.

The name Of John Snedecor, of Bay
Shore, l.. L., will go down to posterity
as the discoverer of an egg fire extin-
guisher. He left his three little chill
dren in the dining room while he went
to the grocery before supper. There
was big lamp on the table.
When Snedecor got home the lamp
lay on the floor in the midst of a pool
of blazing oil. Huddled against the
wall at the back of the room, unable
to get past the blaze, were the three
children.
In paper bag Snedecor was carry
Ing a dozen and half of eggs he had
Just bought Three at a time he hurled
them on the floor along the edge OF
the flame, meantime yelling for other
members of the family to souse
blanket in pail Of water and bring it
to him quickly.
The albumen, phosphates, nitrates
and water in the bursting eggs seemed
to retard the flames. They were al
most egged out when the wet blanket
arrived, and Snedecor soon quenched
the last Of the blaze.

members of the civil police force wear
the khaki. It is these little men in
yellow attire who have come to the
Worlds Fair to show Americans what
we, as nation, have really acquired
as an accidental result of Admiral
Iewey's spectacular victory.
The members of the Constabulary
band were all finished musicians be-
fore Lieut.. Loving, their leader, took
them in hand. Each one was an artist
in his own line, and all of them had
seen service in the military bands Of
the Spanish regime However, there
was tremendous task for the band
master. The men possessed execution
without idea. They could read notes
faultlessly, and could keep perfect
time; but that is only a small part
of concerted playing.
Naturally quick to catch new ideas,
they soon grasped the meaning of the
attack" on which the effect of a
bands work so largely depends. Then
they learned all the mysteries of shad-
ing, from the most delicate tone to the
most powerful crescendo, and it is in
this that their playing is so marvellous
In the tender, sympathetic passages Of
o selection tLe tone is subdued to the
most exquisite murmur from which it
rises, without a crash and without a
blare, sweeping majesucally upward
and onward, until the enraptured
listener is engulfed in a mighty bill
low of sound. Nothing could be more
inspiring than the burst of melody in
such climax as that which occurs in
the seXtette of Lucia, and no band ever
handled it's climaXes better.
In the most powerful tone, there is
not the slightest suggestion of brassi-
ness. 1t is all liquid music. This is
due almost wholly to the Instruments
tion, which is absolutely faultless.
More than half the instruments are
reeds, and instead of the large num-
Der of saXaphones, the instrumental
tion includes four sarrusaphones and
two sousaphones. Moreover, the clari-
nets are not used merely for accom-
paniment, but actually carry the sec
ond voice.
The music produced is not simply
that of brass band, but is varied for
effect to resemble strings, human
voices and even the pipe organ.
Among the players there are several
excellent violinists, and the personnel
of the band is sometimes rearranged
into an orchestra of 10 men and also
into guitar glee club.
The leader, Lieut.. Loving, is a ne-
tive of st. Paul. and a graduate Of the
New England conservatory of music.
To his genius and devotion much of
the success of the Constabulary band
is due.
Would that every American citizen
might listen to one OF his matchless
programmes, drink in all the harmony
and all the splendor of the best band
in the United States. yes, and stay to
the close. The close is the most i'm.
pressive part of the concert. No one
could listen to the playing of THE
Star Spangled Banner" by that band
Of Filipinos, the pavilion surrounded
by other Fillpinos, their hats over
their hearts and their heads bowed, and
doubt that they are Loyalty American.

XsnZsz7AAgl 1EfE are some people VINO
z%EtA still assert that the United
v N y. States obtained nothing,
SWsNN through the annexation OF
eS@=a=s the Philippines, but lot of
naked sayages. In spite of
the governments display at the World S
Fair, which shows, in addition to the
four wild tribes, the refined Visayans
with their beautiful fabrics and
their delicate embroideries, the loyal
brown soldiers of Uncle Sam and
the cultured commissioners and Off
Gals, there are some purblind indi-
Yiduals who refuse to see that the Fill
pino is anything but a nuisance and
menace to our country.
That he coufd be capable of civiliza-
tion and uplifting seems utterly ridic.
ulous to-those who have studied him?
No, to the class who dare not visit
the Philippine reservation at the
worlds Fair for fear of being con.
vinced against their will. That a
great many OF the natives of the is.
lands could already be cultured and
refined would be set down as utterly
preposterous by this class.
The soreheads need not be bound
and carried by violence across the fac.
Smile Bridge of Spain, through the
Walled City to the heart of the most
wonderful section Of the entire ex.
position. They should only be enticed
TO listen for an hour to the playing OF
the Constabulary band. No man with
an ounce of appreciation in his soul
could hear that band without being
convinced that the 81 men who com
pose its membership are far above the
ordinary in both intelligence and senti.
ment A nation or a race NAV be
judged by its music. A natural feel.

an attribute of chaotic or unbalanced

to senseless vandalism and causeless
rebellion.

peculiar tribal dances, manifest a re.
markable feeling for rhythm. There

broken time in their beating of brass
tomtoms and their somewhat monoto-
nous singing. They possess the mus
ical instinct that, with time and train.
ing, may be developed into just what
the members of the tw Philippine
bands already possess.
The Scout band is an exceptionally
good military band, such as we have
heard before. The Constabulary band
is in class by itself 1t is not to be
compared with any of the other ex.
position bands. It's concerts are held
daily in the large bandstand in the
Philippine plaza, and those who have
heard one concert will gladly forsake
the most interesting exhibit and walk
the entire distance from the heart OF
the grounds to the reservation in or.
der to hear another.
The men who compose the constabu
larry and who have done so much to
promote law and order in the islands
are to be distinguished from the ma
tiYes in the regular army by their uni.
forms. The military Filipino wears
the blue of the American soldier. The

In order to give the huts the proper
dimensions, a novel system of meas.

stomach, stretching out both arms tc
see IL the hut would be large enough.

Queen Wilhelmina, of Holland, has
Just made her first trip in an auto
mobile and has expressed herself as
delighted with the experience. Her
majesty was accompanied on the trip
by the prince consort. She wore a
long white cloak, while the prince was
gorgeous in a snowy military uni
form.
The tour was personally conducted
by NJ. Verwey, the owner of the vehi-
Gle in which the queen and her con-
sort rode. He was at the wheel all
Of the time.
Three other machines followed.
They were driven along at the top
speed of 40 miles an hour where the
roads would permit it, and the queen
declared that it was the most eXhila-
rating sport she had ever known. Her
majesty says she means to have a
touring machine.
