BANANA A PROMINENT FOOD
Long Regarded as a Luxury by Ma
t!ves 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
tons 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 "A staple
food among all civilized nations.
To overcome all objections, the
banana has been especially dried and
prepared for food by making it into
a fine -four out Of which bread Is
made, and other process turns the soft
muahy 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.
Ject lessons In food at the Worlds
Fair.

THE ferry-boat, 'Iappah annock,"

any OF her passengers.

oldest inhabitant had ncgcr seen. The
East river was blocked with ice and
soon became Il shrlcking bedlam of

pilots could scarcely see their hands
before their faces.
At half past nine the "~Rappahan-
mock" left Brooklyn, well laden with
passengers, and started on her GUS
tOmary trip almost directly across the
rivera very short and unusually easy
voyage. Before even reaching the mid
die OF the stream, however, the ice

In an instant it flashed upon him that

cast desperately about in his mind for
a loophole of escape before the fellows
should return with these unsatisfactory

in further mutations.

members of the civil police rorcc wear
the khaki. 1t Is these little men in
yellow attire who have come to the
Worlds Fair to show Americans what
we. as n nation, have really acquired
as an accidental result Of Admiral
Dcwcy's spectacular victory.
The members of the Constabulary
band were all finished musicians be-
fore Lieut.. Loving, their leader, took
them in hand. Each n 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 a tremendous task for the band
master, The men possessed execution
without idea. They could read notes
faultlessly, ana could keep perfect
time; but that Is only a small part
of concerted playing.
Naturally quick TO catch new ideas.
they soon graspcd the meaning Of h
attack on which the effect OF a
bands work so largely depends. Then
they learned ali 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
a selection tLe tone Is subdued to the
most exquisite murmur, from which 1t
rises, without "A crash and without n
blare, sweeping majestically upward
and onward, until the cnrapturcd
listener Is engulfcd IN a mighty bill
low Of sound. Nothing could be more
inspiring than the burst Of melody In
such a climax as that which occurs in
the scxtcttc Of Lucia, and no band ever
handled It's climaxcs 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 instrumental
ton, which Is absolutely faultless.
More than half the instruments are
reeds, and instead of the large num-
Der of saxaphoncs, the instrumental.
ton includes four sarrusaphOnes and
two sousaphones. Moreover, the clari'
nets are not used merely for accom-.
panimcnt, but actually carry the sec.
Ond voice.
The music produced Is not simply
thaL OF n DraSS Danu, DuL Is varied LOT

voices and even the pipe gan.
Among the players there are several
excellent vlolinists. and the personnel
of the band is sometimes rcarranged
into an orchestra Of 40 men and also
into n guitar glce club.
The leader, Lieut.. Loving, Is n ma.
tive of st. Paul. and n graduate Of tho
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 splcndor of the best band
in the United States, yes, and stay to
