Germans Lavish With Honors.

An ingenious statistician says that
German has seventy times as great
a chance Of getting a decoration as
has a Briton. AS fact, the list of
persons decorated this month fills
eighteen pages of the dry Vossische
Zeitung and contains about 400
names. This does not mean that spa
cious Germany boasts annually 400
persons distinguished enough for dec
orations and orders. 1t merely means
that you need not be distinguished to
get decoration. The 400 list con-
tains many honest land, no doubt,
Eome dishonesty postmen and engine
drivers. Even elderly, faithful scav.
engers get some decoration.

BANANA AS A CHEAP FOOD.

danger of any future failure or the

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