Bananas are a simple and hand,

ten to ]. f. Klnseley, banana dealer
formerly OF Honduras, at the Midland
hotel this morning, says the Kansas
City Star
I'VE banana promoters are optimists
Did you see that Germany has taken
the tariff of bananas7 1t won't be

Ing as much OF my favorlte fruit as
Americans do. New York city last
year got outside OF billion bananas,
though, and the Germans will have to
hurry.
The vegetarians? We have lots oil
faith in them. They are growing
stronger every year-ln numbers
mean. Banana -four is better than any
other flour. Your bread won't taste
fiat any more. It'll taste sweet. like
bananas. And If you ever eat pan
cake made Of the new -four you'll new

though it be Of the kind mother used
to cook.
Mills for making this -four are be
ing built all over the country. St.
Louis has the largest one In the world.
You see, this Mississippi valley is the
best place in the world to locate the
mills. The fruit is shipped In barges
across the Gulf of Mexico and then up
he river to the factory.
What makes the banana business
such a good one Is that everything
concerned In 1t is utilized. The stalks
may be used for making paper after
the spruce forests are eaten up. The
fruit may be used In -four and the lit
tie black knobs on the ends Of the
husks are made Into cereal coffee. Best

Bananas are great moneymakers
They are grown upon swamp lands
that are so thick with underbrush be-
fore they are cleared that even a cat
couldn't penetrate them. But after
nine months the plants bear fruit; $50
plants to the acre. They aren't much
trouble to take care of and the crop is
harvested every month The Canary
islands raise the best bananas but that
Is because the business is better de-
veloped there than In Honduras, where

Real sinew. of War.

To achieve a perfect powder is the
dream of every war chemist of to-day.
So writes William George in the Tech
nical World Magazine for January.
For upon this uncertain stuff does
the destiny of nations depend, in spite
of Hague conferences and the amiable
platitudes of peace ENJOYS Great
Britain has her cordite and lyddlte !;
France puts her trust in poison-reek-
Ing melinite; Japan has her Shimo-
nose powder. In short, every war Of
flee has Its own formula, but all are
based on ''nitro-compound' like gun
cotton. This is a high explosive al
most entirely smokeless, and enormous
ly more powerful than ordinary gun
powder, long since relegated to the linn
DO of other days, just as gas has been
superseded by electric light In the more
peaceful walks of life
Unfortunately the compound cannot
b, relied upon. The absolute requisite
is stability-the ensuring that the pow
der will endure without change any
heat or climatic variation An unsta-
BILE explosive-the terror of every war
ship afoat which stocks many tons of
it-looks like any other In the labora-
tory, and will shoot as we'll as the best,
provided 1t be used before 1t has time
to burn itself up. The trouble is that
no chemist on earth knows when spon-
taneous combustion will take place
through decomposition with the powder
itself. Hence many terrible disasters
of recent years in all nayies.

the outskirts of Americas, has used
DOan's Kidney Pills and states his
opinion of them as follows: l used
them for back ache and can recon-
mend them very highly They did for
me what everything else failed to do.
They drove the backache out of my
back and relieved me of a misery
from which / had been suffering for
a long time. The trouble was con-
slant heavy ache right across the
small of my back, and a disorder of
the kidneys. The secretions were in
bad condition, being dark full of sed-
iment and irregular. Medicines for
internal use failed to help me and so
did liniments. I read of how others
had been cured by Doans kidney
Pills, and deciding to try them got
a box. Since taking them the pain
has left my back, the kidneys are
working normally, the secretions are
in natural condition and / feel bet
ter in many ways"

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change a
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, tie
brilliance vanish like the bloom from u
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance AID
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage ard
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesSes which too often come with mar
riage and mGthcrhood not understanding
that this secret drain is r0bb.ng TIE check
