Bananas.

The highest known authority on
bananas, the golden treasure OF the
tropics. is Edward w. Perry. Said
he: Bananas pay their producer
nearly three times as much money as
potatoes are worth an acre; bring the
grower profits which are three times
the farm value of the chief food
crops of the United States. and have
paid gains equal to five per cent. per
annum on $1.13S an acre for the last
25 years. The crop is sold years ahead
of production at prices insuring good
profits" Mr. Perry adds: Bananas
are by millions OF people eaten green
or ripe, raw or cooked: are served in
all ways in which apples, grains and
potatoes are used. and are palatable.
healthful and nutritious in every way
in which they are prepared. They
make excellent bread, cakes and pies.
puddings, confectionery, and coffee
substitutes: yield brandy, beer. vine
gar, sugar, oil and fibers. They are
bought as luxury by millions who
may use them as staple food. Yet
they may be grown probably in a
small area only; therefore banana
culture affords a perfectly safe and
gainful use Of time and money"

PITY THE POOR MILLIONAIRE.
He Signs for the ereakfasts and the
Appetite Of His Youth.

"Terrapin is all right, and" said the
canvasback duck. but still don't be-
lieve get half the pleasure out Of the
fine things I eat nowadays that / used
to find in the plain food that we had
years ago. in the days when we
couldn't afford anything else.
I'D give million dollars er, err
er-humm-ha, half million anyway,
If I could have now such a breakfast
as l used to have when / was boy,
If could have now the same appetite
to cat 1t with.
I'VE used to live in house without
any heat above the ground floor, and
] slept In room that was colder than
Greenland, in feather bed under
about seven million patchwork bed
quilts. and I'd sleep ten hours In bed
like taat, as snug and warm and COM
Portable as anybody ever did under
swansdown coverlets in a warmed
room, and then I'd get up In tie morn
ing and go out and chop a few cords
of wood before breakfast. and then
come in feeling able to tear the world
apart and with an appetite that moth
ing less than good. substantial food
and plenty of it would satisfy; an ap-
petite the satisfaction Of which was q
grand and stirring Joy.
For breakfast On winter mornings
we were likely to have PORK chops
and buckwheat cakes. and-such chops
and such cakes. Not little. thin, dried
up, lean, half-coid. tasteless chops
from a kitchen half mile away. but
big, thick. fat chops OF home-fed pork.

And the cakes, Not half heavy.

and all, crinkly and crispy around the
edges and good all through, and so hot
and steaming when they came on
the table that you had to look out and
not burn your mouth when you began
to eat them.
And those chops and those buck
wheat cakes we used to eat, with the
pork gravy on the cakes, A breakfast
fit for the very gods, though one must
be god, to be sure; he must be well
and strong and fl. to enjoy II.
Grateful am that can bring back
even in recollection the joys Of an old
time breakfast of pork chops and buck
wheat cakes"

MISS MURPHY RESIGNS
Wen Know Teacher at Central Build
ing May Co to Milwaukee to Teach

Well Know Teacher at Central Build
ing May Co to Milwaukee to Teach
Miss Ruth Murphy, one of the most
popular teachers of the city and now
in charge of one of the rooms at the
Central school, has sent her resigna-
ton to the Board of Education and
will probably accept a position in the
Milwaukee schools, The resignation
was referred to the committee on
teachers at the meeting of the board
last night and the committe has power
to act IN the matter. 1t is thought
that Miss Murphy will be released
from her contract. She has been
teaching in Kenosha for several years
and isvery popular both With students
and school patrons.
The resignation of Miss Murphy
was the only matter of interest at the
meeting of the board on Tuesday
evening, the remainder of the time
of the session being given to routine
work. The work of the board has
been so simp1ifedaunder the new plan
that there is little reason for long
meetings. The meeting last night,
which was regular monthly session,
lasted just forty minutes.
