III is understood" says Dreher,
that the drying is done by hot air
and that II takes from 400 to 500
pounds of bananas to make 100 pounds
OF figs. The food products nauutae,
tured are fig bananas. cooking ba.
nanas. banana chips. flour and meal.
One factory cuts the bananas into
short pieces before evaporating them,
thus making a product that looks like

are delicious and arel likely 10 be pre-,
ferred TO real figs by many persons.
1t seems that all banana food products
are wholesome and nutritious and

Life Without Microbes.

Microbes are not indispensable TO all

The question has been definitely set
tied. A cage completely sterilized at
90 degrees was made and the open
ings of the cage closely stopped with
cotton and protected from the outside
by a Theoretically closed metallic cham

essary in opening the cage were made
by hands guarded by aseptic rubber
cloth. Into such a steriliZed cage three
hens eggs were placed after having
been externally sterilized. The cage
was fitted with a glass pavilion or
chicken run. where the chickens could
develop during their six weeks sojourn
in the cage. In the cage were sterilized
