RULES BANANA A NECESSITY
England Exempts Americas Popular
Fruit From List Which May Not
Be Imported.

The humble banana has suddenly
leaped into the limelight, remarks
London Answers.
BY its exemption from the list of
fruits which may not be imported, It
has been hall-marked a necessity"
Everybody is talking about 1t. and
most people are eating it. For it is
as much the fruit of the peasant as
the peer. A biscuit and banana Of
ten forms the working girls lunch,
while the gay and golden fruit is now
largely taking the place of the stale
sandwich on railway Journeys.
The banana is one of the great
curiosities of the vegetable kingdom.
One cannot call it q tree. bush. .
shrub, herb, or vegetable, but q
herbaceous plant with the status of q
tree.
Though there is no woody fiber in
any part of its structure, it sometimes
grows as tall as thirty feet. and the
punches of fruit are so prolific that
they are often heavier than the stalk
that supports them. OF all fruits, the
banana yields most food per acre. 1t
yields forty times more by weight than
the potato, and as much as 1873 times
more than wheat.
1t is immune from disease of any
sort, and no insect will attack it.
Nervous people often reject bananas
that have become brown and mushy.
fearing microbes. But such fear Ia
needless. The banana is At to eat
as soon as it has lost all the green
color, I'D remains At no matter how
black 1t may be, 80 long as the skin
ls unbroken; for until the latter oc.
ours, there can be no admission of air
and no decomposition.
Bananas. by the way. are good for
babies. DR.. Eric Pritchard finds that
decoction Of banana Cruel has many
points Of recommendation. 1t can be
made in few minutes by rubbing a
heaped up tablespoonful of banana
nour into pint of water, and then
boiling for Ave minutes.

Jim worked his way slowly to the

but, scraping some of the soil away,
he uncovered barrel top which was
over a hole large enough to conceal

Jim spoke to comrade, and when a
group stood about him for an instant
he dropped into the earth. Some one
scattered the soil again over his barrel
top, leaving open only hole for air.
