as is often the case in the United
States, Which causes many persons to
regard bananas as being difficult to
digest.
1t seems only necessary to make
the value of banana food products
known in order to Great a large mar

considerable extent popular in Ger.
many and Great Britain, which have
been taking the bulk of the exports of
such products from jamaica. When
bananas are selling at a low price. as
is usually the case in this colony dur
ing the fall and winter, it is quite
profitable to use them for manufac-
turing purposes. As the worlds de-
mand for these products increases it
is to be expected that bananas will
he grown extensively in districts too
remote from shipping ports or rail-
road facilities to make their exporta-
ton practicable.
In Jamaica several factories have
already been built in such districts.
In banana producing countries far re-
moved from large markets, like the
Society and the Samoan Islands and
other island grouns in the Pacific
Ocean, this fruit can be grown at
small expense for manufacturing food
products. Especially adapted to such
an undertaking is Tahiti, the principal
island of the Society group, which has
steamship communication with San
Francisco and New Zealand and AUS
tralia, all too distant for exporting the
fruit itself to advantage except in yes-
sells built especially for that purpose.
The Hawaiian Islands and the Phil
ippines also seem to offer inviting
fields for the profitable manufacture
and expectation of banana food pro-
ducts. This consulate has received
an inquiry from Honolulu with re-
gard to this method of using bananas.

general opinion being, that unless
something is done to relieve present

Clay Eaters Acquired Morbid
Habit Owing to This
Disease

LEXINGTON, KY, July lit has
Leen announced that the fifteenth II.
ternational congress on hygiene and
demography, which meets in Washing
ton In September. will take up whal
is just row the newest and most dan
gerous disease epidemic ever knows
ia Kentucky. This is the hookworm
o. which it is estimated there are 10,
900 cases in the Kentucky rural dis
tricts. This is the most complex prob
lem before the Kentucky state boaro
of health at the present time.
Startling facts have recently beer
learned by the board, which is .inves-
tigating the problems connected witt
peliagra. Investigations have shown
the presence of the disease in &c
counties. In % per cent of the speci
mems collected at random by one
physician the hookworm has been de
tected. This. according to, the state
hoard of health, indicates as great an
infection in kentucky as has been
found in Virginia and other southern
states.
1t has only recently been realized
that the hookworm existed to any very
great extent in the state. In the fall
Of 1910 the. surgeon general of the
United States army announced that a
large proportion OF the recruits from
kentucky were infected. This created
such interest throughout this state
that an appropriation was secured
from the legislature and the investiga-
ton, which has never ceased since
then, has demonstrated that in 20
counties in different parts of the
state-in fact, in every county where
an investigation has been made-the
disease exists.
Children Greatest Sufferers.
Children and young adults are the
greatest sufferers, but persons of any
age may become infected. Cases have
