THE BANANA 4 FRUIT IN 4 STERILE
 PACKAGE

With the increasing demand for fresh fruits at all seasons of the year has become the difficul. ty of supplying them in a condi- tlon in which the dangers of con- tamination are largely averted. Decay is one of the limiting fac tors in the use of fresh fruits. Among the many fruits there is one which IS equipped in it's na- tive form with a protective coy ering that calls for more than passing mention. Some time ago The Journal of the American Medical Association emphasized the advantages afforded by the banana as a wholesome food and ventured the suggestion that this fruit, though growing in popu- larity, is still underestimated in American households. The ba- mana consists, in it's green state, largely of starch and water. The essential change during the process of ripening is conver- sion of the starch into sugar. The rate of ripening Is dependent on the temperature. The edible portion of each fruit is packed away in a peel which serves a more useful purpose than has hitherto been realized. Experi- ments on the fruit in different stages show that the inner DOT tions of the pulp of sound ba- nanas are practically sterile. The peel is singularly resistant to invasion by bacteria. Even when bananas were immersed in fluids containing disease germs they did not penetrate into the interior. The probability of in- lection through the peel might be transferred to the consumers fingers and thence to the mouth. This is an interesting example ot a food delivered by Nature in practically sterile packages. Ma ture's wholesome service should not be undone by careless meth ods of marketing such foods.

the South has been the depend ence of so many farmers upon a crop yet unmade for their daily subsistence. The m an who would get ahead must not get in the habit of eating and wearing out things not paid for, and cer- tainly must not mortgage his flu ture for mere7pleasures or dissi- patton.
 This warning against debts does not apply, however, to debts of investment. Indeed, We believe in debts of this kind. If man can buy a piece of land on credit, make enough off of it to pay the interest and something on the land, and can thus furn- ish himself a home which may be increasing in value all the time, he should certainly do it. Such a debt is a sign of thrift and en- terprise, and the opportunity to make such a purchase is open to any man of good reputation in almost any community in the South.
 So, if a horse is needed, or an implement, or anything which will enable him to make enough more money than he could with out it to be able to pay for it in a reasonable time, he should buy that thing, and not be afraid of the debt. A debt of this kind is an investment; one Of the first mentioned is a burden which must be carried and from which no return can be expected Pro gressive Farmer.

4 The rural school movement in Iowa
has received a strong impetus from
an act of the last legislature, which
provides a state aid of from $3.50 to
$3.50, annually, in addition to an
Appropriation for the equipment OF
the school to all consolidated indie
pendent districts, organized in &C
cordance with section 2794-a, of the
school laws of Iowa. Prior to jan
uary |, 1913, there were only 20
consolidated schools in the state, COW
ering a period of twelve years in
organizing. A few weeks ago State
Superintendent Deyoe, announced
that sixteen consolidated schools
have been organized in the state
since the enactment of the state aid
law. This means that the number
has almost doubled during the pres
ent year.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
BY Mabel Horner, County Supt.
The Teacher.

All that is patient, true and wise
All that is courteous, apt and good;
Daily, however dark the skies,
Watching with care her little
brood
In some great classroom of the town
At a green crossroads far away,
Earning by patient worth the crown
OF conquest in the blOodless fray.
Real citizen of these her times,
Friend of the parent as the child.
Teaching the antidote of crimes
In ancient lessons undefiled.
AS splendid in her worth, indeed,
AS those with more respondent
place
And filling each day need
Will all sufficient gifts Of grace.
All hail her, where she takes her
throne
In the great city, or is found
In waysides quiet of her own,
Still faithful to the daily round.

which affords the boys and girls
some vigorous open air exercise dur
ing the recess and noon hours. The
teacher, Miss HARRIET Beavers, who
introduced the sport is also teaching
sewing. She says the interest in sew
ing lags on these bright October days
when the out-of-doors is SO inviting,
but she expects that on stormy days,
button holes and hemstitching will
make the noon hours seem too short
for the girls. =
Thursday. morning as the county
superintendent was starting for a
country drive she received an invita-
ton from Miss Neva Curry's school
at High Point to be present that
day at a reception given by the school
to the parents. The route for the
day was changed and the afternoon
was spent at High Point. We found
a school room so clean and attractive
that we did not wonder that the
teacher and pupils should make a
special effort to secure the presence
of their friends. There was no spec
ial program for the day, but simply
a demonstration of the daily work.
After the lessons were over social
hour followed, apples and pop corn
popped at school, were passed and the
guests departed each wearing sprig
of pine, the same as they had found
teacher and pupils wearing in honor
of Parents Day. Miss Curry is secur-
ing excellent results in her school
work because of her enthusiasm and
her excellent classification and or
gani'ation.

maps, charts, globes and other neces-
sary apparatus were supplied, and
above all where a covered water jar
with faucet, and individual drink
ing cups had replaced the open
impurities of the air, gathers the
germ-laden dust of the room, and
occasionally furnishes plunge bath
for rheumatic flies that are always
with us in the fall of the year. To
be sure no one school has all these
"desirables," but some Of them
have enough to divest the school
room of the appearance of gloom and
poverty and to render it cheerful and
honey" One teacher has white
curtains the full length of the win
dows, at the side Of the window
with a tiny lamberquin across the
tops; another uses white sash cur
tains, which just now, in honor OF
the approaching Halloween festival,
are decorated with paper jack-o'-
lanterns and black cats which the
little folks have made. 1t is inter-
esting to note that where there is
some attempt at "homefying' the
school room there is pride on the
part of the pupils to keep the room
in good order. A clean floor and
white curtains go together.
