BANANA A PROMINENT FOOD
Long Regarded as a 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
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 it's place as staple
food among all civilized nations.
To overcome all objections, the
banana has been especially dried and
prepared for food by making it into
fine flour out of which bread is
made, and other process turns the soft
mushy banana into wholesome cot.
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.

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
Dewey'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 a 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 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
selection the tone is subdued to the
most exquisite murmur, from which it
rises, without a crash and without a
blare, sweeping majestically upward
and onward, until the enrapt red
listener is engulfed 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 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'
4 ness It is all liquid music. This is
due almost wholly to the Instruments
ton, which is absolutely faultless.
More than half the instruments are
reeds, and instead of the large mum.
Der of saxaphones, the Instruments
ton 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
J that of a 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 20 men and also
7 into a guitar glee club.
