The teeth can be greatly injured by
the use of unreliable lotions and tooth
powders which contain acids and
gritty substances that ruin the en-

kept exquisitely clean by the use of
white CASTLE soap and precipitated

use of camphor is very beneficial TO

FOOD Value OF BANANAS

Bananas have no drawbacks. Trey
are nourishing they are fattening
for children. they are digestible.
Perhaps they are unpopular in the
kitchen because they are not under
stood The best way of converting
cooks is to tell them what the ban
ana can do Here are a few recipes:
Banana Boats-Gently slit the
kins on the inner sides. Take out
tie banana and choprit up add sus-
ar, and sweet almonds blancA-
cd and chopped. Fiji the banana
skins again with this. Make a mast
of straight piece of macaroni, with
tiny flag of colored paper.
Banana Savory-Skin and cut
some bananas into pieces. Dip in
milk. then in grated cheese and then
in butter.
Fry a golden brown in superboil-
ing fat, and serve with chip potatoes.
Banana Hints-Bananas baked in
their skins and eaten with little
cream are splendid for delicate chill
dren
If children lave some distance to
walk to school. make them up a
lunch of oatmeal biscuits, milk choco-
late and banana. 1t is as good as
a meat meal.
If you chop bananas and put them
in flour, then set the flour to dry
and finally rub the whole through a
sieve, you get very nourlshing
mixture for making rolls. Add egg
and little dripping and mix to a
paste with sour milk, also add cur
rants or caraway seeds and bake as
rock cakes. You will be delighted
with the result.
Bananas are good for people suf-
fering from weak nerves. When eat
en- with cream, their food value in
creases.
The revival of the petticoat, which
has entirely disappeared from the
fashionable woman's wardrobe, is a
striking feature of some of the new
frocks 1t is petticoat that makes
its presence apparent-not one of the
old fashioned sort that was quite
content to stay hidden.
The new petticoat is three or four
I inches longer than the skirt under
which it is worn Sometimes it is
made of lace, sometimes of net,
sometimes of striped silk.
Stripes are even more used than
predictions led us to think they
would be used So are plaids.

EXPORT TRADE CRY
RAISED In BOSTON
700 Business Men at Meet
ing Called by New
Haven Railroad.
IBy Telegraph to The Tnbun.i

Boston, Dec. 15.-Optimistic views OF
the future of United States commerce,
particularly with South America, were
heard to-day at a conference Of seven
hundred New England business men
which was called by the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad as a
step toward providing increased facili-
ties and obtaining more freight from
the greater business that President
Howard Elliott expects.
The speakers were Mr.. Elliott, John
Barrett, director Of the aPn-American
Union; w. S. Kies, who has charge of
the foreign department of the National
City Bn akof New York; DR.. Edward T..
Pratt, Professor s. O. Martin, of the
aHrvard Business School; John +. Fitz-
gerald, chairman of the Boston Cham
Der of Commerce Committee on Foreign
Trade; DR.. w. f. Aughinbaugh, of New
York; Thomas +. Anderson, secretary
Of the New England Shoe and eLather
Association, and V. Gonzales, Of the
National Association Of Manufacturers,
of New York.
Mr.. Kies had the most specific plan
for the improvement of South American
trade, suggesting that immediate steps
be undertaken to substitute dollar eX-
change for pound sterling exchange.
Pointing out that the ederal Reserve
law enables branch banks in foreign
countries and that the National Cl;y
Bank had already opened branch IN
Buenos Ayres, he said. THE operation
of these banks will tend to create IN
New York q money market Tor south
American bills, enabling payment for
our exports TO be made In dollars on
New York instead of pounds sterling
on London. The establishment OF
branches of American banks means the
possibility of direct mail and cable
transfers of balance from the parent
bank to the latter's branches, or vice
versa, with no delay and at minimum
expense. wiz,
States must insist on payment Tor Tor
eipn invoices being made in dollars on
New York. rather than in pounds ster-
ling on London. Neither New YORK
nor Boston can hope to become imam
cial centres of the world until the dol
lar becomes known, and its value re.
snected in the markets of the world.
DR.. Aughinbaugh suggested Ne"
England investment in municipal I'M
movements in South America.
Mr.. Barrett urged a loan Of $780,
100000 to South American industry
during the next FIVE years and the I'M
provement of steamship service: He
gave figures to show that the United
States already led the world in Latin
American trade.
DR.. Pratt gave warning that foreign
nations would recuperate soon enough
to compete actively with the United
States for Southern commerce, and sug-
gested getting busy Immediately.
Mr.. Elliott made plea for a more
tolerant attitude on the part OF the
government toward manufacturers Oh
transportation" There was grave Gan
ger that the demand for his product
would be greater than the supply, but
he expected the good sense OF the
American people to overcome present
Misunderstanding with the railroads.
Mr.. Gonzales, pointing out that the
,o.,,-t,.,, bad lost an enormous export
trade during the war, said that South
America offered a chance TO recuperate.

the other day and wanted to see some
garments that / had to close out. After
he had placed an order he said, What
are your terms?' / told him that my
terms were regular; in other words,
$40 or 2-10-30. He said that his terms
were 1910, and if | would not accept
the order on those terms | should not

were to be sold very cheap, as they
