CALLS BANANA PERFECT FOOD
Invaluable as Medicine, and, Weight
for Weight, II Beats Beefsteak,
Is Assertion of Authority.

my doctor has ordered me a pint
of beef tea daily" weakly woman re-
marked six months ago. Rubbish"
was the answer, 'eat bananas in
stead" She stared incredulously
Nevertheless, after few question up
on her part she agreed to give the
suggestion a trial. Today she is liv-
ing monument to the virtues of the
banana.
1t is only ignorance which keeps
this marvelously nutritious fruit from
being even more widely used than
it is today Bananas, besides forming
a pleasant addition at dessert, are in
valuable as a medicine. Weight for
weight they beat beefsteak. In the
countries where the fruit is grown it
forms the staple diet OF the laborers.
The banana is absolutely pure, which
fact, perhaps, in these days of jungle
horrors and tuberculosis meat, will ap-
peal more strongly than any other.
Perhaps the most striking triumph
of the banana has been achieved in
California, which recognized as one
of the fruit gardens of the world.
The fruit does not grow there, so,
considering that almost every other
kind does, it was thought scarcely
worth while to introduce it. How
ever, during the off, season some
one made the experiment, when, to
the amazement of all, caught" imme.
diately. Now trains loaded with moth
ing but bananas are sent from the
ports on the eastern coast to Cali
fornia. Meat is bad for rheumatism;
bananas are an antidote for that as
we'll as for govt and liver complaints.
Indeed, there is no other food, either
animal or vegetable, even including
the many valuable cereals, which sur
passes the banana. 1t is good alike
for old and young, and is beneficial,
both in sickness and in health. The
exact meaning of the scientific name
of the banana means food of the
wise man. "-Cincinnati Inquirer.

when FATHER LEFT
Little Fellow Writes President

BY FRANK FlLSON.

March the forth its going to be a
miserable birthday for me on the fif-

ducks stuffed with sage and uniuns

we've moved into smaller house
since father died 1t was a pity he
died so young because father and
mother had bad folling out about a
girl the night before and he didn't
have funeral or anything. 1t was a
girl father used to know before he
was married and mother said there
wasn't any harm in that but why did
father have a date with her at the
Monument. Father said he didn't have
date but both happened to be there
and if mother hadn't come shopping
around all would have been well.
Mother said she wouldn't stand for
such langwidge and the next day
father died.
We moved into tiny house after
father died. The last house had two
bathrooms and big kitchen and
three maids and dog but this house
has only one bathroom and kitchen
and only one maid. Susan is a colored
maid because it makes her cheaper.

Tries to Kill Chicken;
Farmer Shoots Himself
ia, Ga.

Fresno, Cal, Oct. 20-Residents OF
Shasta may stop trying to obtain a
chicken dinner with firearms, follow
ing the accident some time ago when
a farmer of this county shot his wife
when he was trying to kill chicken.
Thomas McCabe of this town shot
himself in trying to slay plump fowl
for dinner.
McCabe finding his Workmanship
poor and only frightening the bird to
come closer to him. decided to use his
rife as a club. Grasping it by tha
barrel, he swung it over his head and
the molten discharged the weapon
sending bullet through his hand
He had forgotten to uncock the rifle
and recklessly placed his hand over
the muzzle.
1t is likely the old-fashioned chase
with club or an axe will come int
vogue again in Shasta county in the
pursuit of a chicken dinner.

his political advisers sat around en-
linen covered furniture and discussed
the advisability of his running for
assemblyman from the sixth New

that there was no doubt of his cleo

governor refused to agree positively
to make the race. He pleaded for
time. to think the matter over and
finally agreed to remain here until
tomorrow morning, instead of leaving
for New York today He may make
decision tonight.
In the meantime he will consul
with his wife regarding the proposed
race. She said today over the tele-
phone that she had not yet been
consulted on the proposition and she
did not care to discuss her views on
it. The impeached governor thinks
we'll of her political acumen and his
decision probably will rest with her
The Sulzer followers maintain thar
election to the assembly would be a
stepping stone to a return to the
