kip1in& on the Auto

Rudyard Kipling, who is an enthusi
astic automobilist-or motorist, as
they say in England-has written the
following on his favorite sport: "The
chief end of my car, so far as I am
concerned, is the discovery of Eng
land. To me it is land full of stupe
flying marvels and mysteries; and
day in the car in an English county is
a day in some fairy museum where all
the exhibits are alive and real and
yet none the less delightfully."- mixed

Many Uses for Banana

New uses are being found for the
banana-that valuable plant which
will produce forty-four times as much
human food to an acre of land as
can be obtained from an equal area
in the shape of potatoes.
One Of the latest novelties is '*ba-
Ilana Coffee which is made by drying
the fruit and subjecting it to process
Of roasting, after granulating it. 1t
tastes good deal like real coffee, and
like many preparations of the kind
evolved from cereals is recommended
as devoid of the harmfulness common
" attributed to the true coffee bean.
Another product put up by the same
concern is banana figs" The fruit
is cut into slices and put through
a process which is yet a secret, though
sugar is employed incidentally-the
result being a decidedly toothsome
delicacy, not much like figs, but equ:.l-

worn by Well-drcssed women during
the winter nowadays. Naturally this

rate gowns of these fabrics were to be

that they will be more in vogue than
ever. There is a fancy, too-which is

ly far away from the ordinary banana.

popularity
Yet another novelty in the same
line is banana raisins,'' as they are
called, which are appetizing bits of
the fruit prepared, by a different proc
ess, with sugar. They are put up il
boxes and sold as a sweetmeat.
In countries where the banana
grows it is highly valued as a vege-
table for cooking, being fried n

the United States (saye in Florida)
it's availability for culinary purposes
is practically unknown. Of all fruits
it is the most nutritious, containing

people consider the fruit indigestible,

reputation because people swallow it
