BANANA AS A CHEAP FOOD.


The banana must be reckoned with
as one of the staple foodstuffs Of the
people Of the United States. The ex-
tent Of consumption will be a surprise
to persons unfamiliar with the statis-
tics Of tropical imports. In a recent

1t appears that the people Of the
United States utilize more than 6.00O,'
600. bananas q year. or more than
FIVE dozen for every man. woman and
child in the country, including Alaska
and Hawaii. The value of bananas i'm

danger of any future failure OF the
banana supply. There are great
areas Of untitled land in nearby trop-

mana serves ae a partial substitute
for our other daily food, its cheap
ness certainly serves to measurably
reduce the cost Of living.

TROOPS AWE LYNCHlNG MOB
Three Militia Companies Guard Assail-
ant Of Young Girl In
Salem (lll.) jail.

Salem, ILL.,, March 1.-THE Jail at
Salem was guarded Friday night by
three companies of militia. The state
troops were ordered out by Governor
Dunno in response to message from
Sheriff Charles W. Purcell of Marion
county that he was unable alone to
cope with a situation arisen through
the arrest of Frank Sullens, white,
twenty-one years old, charged with an
attack on Dorothy, the fourteen-year-
old daughter of Judge Charles Holt.
All afternoon an angry mob of men
swarmed through the streets and sew
eral times were dispersed from in
front of the Jail by Sheriff Purcell
and a number Of specially sworn in
deputies.
The mob, though threatening, lacked
leaders, and was handled by Sheriff
Purcell and his deputies, though late
in the afternoon the sheriff appealed
to the governor for assistance. Militia
from Olney, Shelbyville and bingham
at once were ordered to Salem and
later the company at Altamont was
dispatched.

SARAH BERNHARDT INJURED
Noted Actress Has Both Ankles
SpraIned When Auto CoIIides
With Heavy Truck.

Los Angeles, Cal, March a.
Madame Sarah Bernhardt, the world
famous actress, had both ankles
sprained in an automobile accident in
Pico Heights, on the outskirts of the
city Wednesday when her machine, in
which she was being driven to the Or
pheum theater from Venice, collided
with heavy truck and was badly
wrecked. Madame Bernhardt was
thrown out and in addition to suffer
ing sprains of both ankles, was con-
siderably bruised. Despite her in
juries she proceeded in another auto
mobile to the theater, and rather
than disappoint the large audience,
rehearsed her full program.

DR.. F. H. Green. the great lecturer
gave this beauty recipe" in one OF his
addresses: Hear some beautiful
music, see a beautiful picture, read
some beautiful literature every day.
All this, recognizing the close rela-
tion between soul and body, is perfect
ly reasonable. 1t is better than all
cosmetics, rouges or drugs ever heard
CT. The picture, the music, the litera-
ture impresses the mind, which gives
form and tone Of the physical express
sion. OF course, this little expert
ence must be sincerely considered, un-
selfishly and lovingly done. A put-on
appreciation of the art will not avail.
The true love of the beautiful makes
beauty. This Is q scientific fact. as
sure and steadfast as that sugar will
Bweeten coffee. But one has to get
meanness, III will, suspicion. revenge
out OF the heart, to make good use
Of the recipe; to give play to the
beauty. The starry sky. the songs
Of the birds, glimpse of woods, a
fower-sprinkled lawn-these have the
same effect They make beauty for
whoever loves them sincerely.

w. B. FITZPATRICK,
Representative From Trumbul Coun
ty Who Led House Fight for Work
mems Compensation Bill.

If permanently disabled the en-
ploye receives two-thirds Of his wages
for life, but the amount must not ex-
ceed $12 a week, and if the employe
was receiving less than $5 week, he
would receive his full wages for life.
In the event of the death of an en-
ploye while at work, his dependents
would receive two-thirds of his wages
for six years with the provision that
award not exceed $12 week nor an
aggregate total of $3,750.
A definite list of awards is pro.
videi for loss of sight, limbs, fingers
etc. Loss of limbs or sight is inter
preted as permanent disability and
the victim is paid two-thirds of his
wages for life, not exceeding, how
ever, $12 week.
Loss of Fingers, Toes, Etc.
A careful schedule of compensation
is provided for loss of fingers, toes,
etc. For example a person losing a
thumb would receive two-thirds of his
wages for 60 days. One losing his lit
tie finger would receive the same
amount for Is days. Compensation
for parts of fingers is provided
through the stated amount of awards
The victim of an accident need not
accept the state award unless he sees
fit. But having accepted it, he can
not bring suit for damages. If he
should refuse to accept and brings
suit, the employer would have the
right to take advantage of the de-
fenses of contributory negligence and
fellow servant rule. In the event that
the employe does, sue, his attorney
can receive as fees only such an
amount as the court sitting in the
case may determine.
Employers who elected to carry
their own insurance must in addition
to guaranteeing to pay the same COM
pensation as the state, contribute to
the reserve portion of the state fund
the same amount proportionately as
is assessed for the same purpose upon
regularly enrolled employers.
1t is interpreted that employers
carrying their own insurance may do
so through private liability company,
provided that the employer pays his
injured employe direct and also gives
bond to guarantee compliance with
all state regulations.
