IANANAS COOKED IN
SWEET AND SAVORY WAYS

Like the tomato and the potato. the
banana owes its peculiar name to fl
tering process it has undergone from its
original the West Indian. through the
musical Spanish tongue, to the English
rendering that has resulted, in the case
of all three names. in a curious three
syllabled word. The banana was orig
inally found growing wild in the tropical
East, but II is now cultivated in all trop-
ical and sub-tropical countries. where
1t constitutes one of the principal sources
Of food. taking the place Of cereals.
On account of its bland taste and its
slight acidity-for its potash salts over
power the small amount of sharpness II
would otherwise contain. it is necessary
for many persons to acquire the taste for
bananas. Lemon juice and sugar are
great aids to the enjoyment of bananas;
so also is orange juice.
Banana pancakes-Moisten four table,
spoonfuls of -four with one-half cupful Of
milk. add a pinch of salt, a teaspoonful Of
sugar and four well-beaten eggs. Mix
well, allow to stand for fifteen minutes
and bake In six pancakes. Keep hot. Rub
six peeled bananas through a sieve. add
two tablespoonfuls of sugar. one-half
tablespoonful of lemon juice and two
tablespoonful of cream. Mix and make
warm. Take the pancakes one by one
and spread the fruit over them. Roll
and serve hot. sprinkled with sugar.
Bananas with Fried Eggs and Rice-Put
one and one-haf cupfuls of boiled rice
on a hot platter Fry as many eggs as

rice, and around the rice put four ba-
nanas, which should be peeled, sliced
lengthwise and fried In hot fat to l light

sELFIsHNESs BIG SIN.
Pastor Told that "Ch1rch should
Work on Itself"

New York. Oct. 4-Selnshness Is the
most prevalent sin. according to num-
Der Of prominent New Workers. The lat
ter gave their views in replies to IN
quiries sent them by the Rev. Dr.
Christian F. Reisner. pastor Of Grace
Methodist Episcopal Church.
DR.. Reisner asked all his correspon-
dents what the church should do about
the sin they thought was the most pop
ular. Nearly all replied that the church
should work on itself first by removing
the prejudice against various sects and
forming itself into a united church.
DR.. Anna Shaw blamed selfshness In
men for the opposition to woman suf-
frage. w. Bourke Cochran urged faith
In religion and James X. Hackett, the
actor. said malicious gossip was the most
prevalent sin.

MOST POPULAR SIN.

When Dr.. Anna Howard Shaw was
asked by New York preacher the
other day TO name what she consid-
cred to be "the mos: popular sin" she
did not hesitate to name selhshness.
which, in her opinion, is the root of
al! evil. The minister in question

among the answers were envy, lex

who qualiehd his answer as pertaining
especially to conditions in New York,
came the answer ":he cheap cry for
cheap fun
In James K. Hackctt's answer there
is i deal OF wisdom. His answer
might have applied especially to the
most popular sin of women--"mali-
eious gossip, because OF the many
lives that have been ruined by it" He
gave as the remedy for the evil simply
"ninding ones own business"
This IS rather interesting specula-
tions, though. as one person question
ed on tho subject wisely enough said,
TO be able to answer it would require
tic wisdom of Solomon.
What is the most widely discussed
question among women today ask
ed the philosopher of the woman ac-
quaintancc he chanced to meet on
his may down town. "Suits or coats
just at present." said the woman hon
estly and, of course, the philosopher
was disappointed. He had wanted
the woman to say Child labor" 'the
divorce evil, votes for women" or
something on higher vein than mere
clothes.
But even the least frivilous OF wom-
enkind have to pause once year to
ponder over this question of suits or
coats"-that is, unless their dress al
lowance is so large that with them
it can be suits and coats" For gen.

how to wear the separate blouse so

as arc their American cousins. Then,
besides, the inexpensive separate coat
that one can buy in Paris is usually !
garment of more grace than the
separate coat you could buy in this
country for the price. Or at least
such used to be the case. Though
this year. we are told, there are
countless separate coats that are at
once graceful, distinctive and mex
pensivc.
Still there is nothing like the tailor
