Persons who enjoy fresh banana
with cream and sugar on 1T feel
amused or contemptuous when they
hear their less fortunate friends de-
clare this excellent fruit is responsible
for all sorts of ills and that it should
not be eaten unless cooked.
Someone asks, ''What is the truth
about the banana2" To answer this,
first consider that most of the fruit that
finds its way to our stores and finally
to our tables is plucked before it is
ripened, packed in holds of vessels and
later in storage houses and reaches us
too ripe or too green.
The banana is the most nourishing
fruit we have; it is food and in the
same class with potatoes, bread, and
cereals. Persons with normal digestions
can cat them in any form, others may
have to secure them at some especial
stage of ripeness and prepare them in
some particular way.
Because they are food element,
furnishing heat and energy, give them
frequent place in your diet.
To bake bananas, select good-sized,
ripe ones, peel and split them in halves
and place in shallow baking platter.
Sprinkle with sugar, lemon juice, and
butter. Add two tablespoons of water
and bake until fruit is brown over top,
basting often. Serve in the baking
dish. This is the most popular way to
cook bananas; other ways are to broil
them and to bake them in their skins.

Bananas Cooked and Uncooked

Children may be given fresh, ripe,
uncooked bananas, without any fear of
consequences if the rough, hairy fuzz
between the fruit proper and the skin
be scraped off. 1t is this that irritates
tender stomachs.
One of the well liked banana dishes
is cake put together with this fruit
filing. The only drawback to this deli
cacy is that bananas turn an unsightly
brown after they are exposed to the
air few moments. Therefore, the
cake should be made and filed just as
it is needed to be served.
Banana batter cake is made with
just such dough as one uses for short
cake. Then slices of banana are ar
ranged over the dough and sprinkled
with sugar, spice and butter. When
baked, serve with cream and sugar

WILL OPPOSE CUT IN WAGES
Grand Trunk Employees Decline to Ac-
cept Reductions in Pay

Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 5.-More than
$4,000 employees of the Grand Trunk
Railway Company and thousands of
other men employed by the Grand
Trunk Pacific railway have declined to
accept reductions in pay and in reply
to notices Of reduction have notified Of
ficials of the two companies, that they
will oppose vigorously any attempt to
cut wages.
The proposed reduction on the Grand
Trunk railway is to date from April |
next that on the Grand Trunk Pacific
was effective January /. Both are neces-

The little child is blessing,

A little form is sleeping,
While Ger her darling empty crib
A mother bends with weeping.
Almost she sees the curly head
Upon the pillow lying;
Her outstretched arms clasped but the

Her soul is sick with signing.
A cry bursts from the tortured heart,
'Oh why to us was given
This fair white blossom when so soon
He's snatched from us to Heaven?"

THE SONGS OF OTHER DAYS
Selected By j. HOWARD VERT
No. 3I5.
Lord Lovel

Lord Lovel he stood at his castle gate,
Combing his milk-white steed,
When up came Lady Nancy Belle,
To wish her lover good speed.
"Where are you going, Lord Lovel7"
she said,
"Oh, where are you going" said she;
"1'm going, my Lady Nancy Belle,
Strange countries for to see."
"When will you be back, Lord Lovel7"
she said,
"Oh, when will you come back?"
said she;
sin year or two-or three, at the
most,
III return to my fair Nancy"
But he had not been gone a year and
day,
Strange countries for to sec,
When languishing thought came into
his head,
Lady Nancy Belle he would go see.
So he rode, and he rode on his milk,
white steed,
Till he came to London town,
And there he heard st. Pancras' bells
And the people all mourning round.

"Oh, what is the matters" Lord Lovel
said,
ooh what is the matter9" said he;
"a lords lady is dead woman re-
piled,
"And some called her Lady Nancy"
So he ordered the grave to be opened
wide,
And the shroud he turned it down,
And there he kissed her clay-cold lips,
Till the tears came trickling down.
Lady Nancy she died as might be to-
day,
Lord Lovel he died as tomorrow;
Lady Nancy died out of pure, pure
grief,
Lord Lovel he died out of sorrow.
Lady Nancy was laid in st. Pancras
church,
Lord Lovel was laid in the choir;
And out of her bosom there grew a red
rose,
And out of her lovers brier.
They grew and they grew to the church
steeple top,
And then they could grow no higher;
So there they entwined in true lovers
knot,
For all lovers true to admire.
