BANANAS IN OUR DIET.

Bananas are high in nutritive value
and they are always asy to get. OF
course. they are absolutely tndigestibie
to some persons-and so they should
be absolutely avoided by those persons.
But the housewife who knows that her
family likes bananas n finds them
digesible should strive to serve them
in many different ways.
1t has been said that the ~indigestible
element in nan is in the fiber just
under the skin, and it is a precautiOn-
airy measure worth taking to scrape
the mar before serving them. Even
so. they are too heavy for some people
to digest.
Bananas when sliced with q little
sugar and lemon juice, are good. They
can also be served raw sliced thin with
iced or grapefruit.
The in salads they are good raw.
Cut in inch lengths and rolled in ground
nuts. serve with French dressing on
lettuce leaves, served with grapefruit
on endive with French dressing, they
are good for a salad.
Banana filling for a cake is good.
Make any good layer cake II fill with
this miNtulc: Boil q cupful Of granu-
lated sugar and half a cupful of water
until it strings. Pour slowly over two
egg whites, beaten very stiff. When
smooth and thick add half u cupful of
ripe bananas.
Bananas baked are good with cal or
lamb. To bake them, peel and split
them, sprinkle with lemon juice. nut
meg and a little salt. and bake in a
bnttered disk. Basic often with water,
and cook for about 20 minutes.
BANANA charlotte is made in this
way: Slice and sweeten bananas and
put them in alternate layers with
crumbed macaroons and split lady
fingers in IL dessert dish. Pour a thick
custard Yer all and serve with or
without a little whipped cream on top.
Banana pie has this recipe: Line u
pie plate with crust. Beat two egg
yolks, add a half a cupful of sugar and
a cupful and Il half of milk, and add
the pulp of three bananas rubbed
through a sieve. Pour this custard in
to the crust and bake slowly until firm

most worthy OF emulation to those OF

1t is customary to discuss the habits

age. and emphasis is generally laid up
on the habits. as to tobacco and spir-
Its. There are instances among the
aged where they both smoked and
drank. AS 1t is well known that the
use of tobacco or liquor can do no
real good. it must be inferred that those
who haze lived long and continued

than because of them.
1t would be interesting and instruc-
tive to know what Mr.. Stanley's phys

he born of healthy and rugged par

boyhood speEt? Was he raised in the
city or country? What was his height
md weight and what were his chest

active years? How did he fare in his
childhood? Did he have scarlet fever,
i%iphtheria, measles. w%hooping cough,
humps, typhoid fever, or smallpox?
These diseases sometimes leave the
physical condition impaired in some
particular. AS he never INDUCED i'm

q large factor in shortening life. Az he
had no temperament for excesses, it is
fair to assume he did not overwork,
overeat. and was not given to worry,
which gnawS so severely at the vitality
of those so inclined.
There are a goodly number of men
and women who live 100 years, and 1t
appears that there are more women
than men who live SO long. Good ply

those with a mind disposed to reck-

especially In childhood. is another es-
sential. An even disposition that for

To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos

THE RULE OF IGNORANCE

Editor Honolulu STAR Bulletin.
Sir: Arthur x. OZawa, Japanese
attorney of this city, speaking 10 Japa-
nese 1T a lecture recently on the
coming Japanese vote and its probable
strength throughout the territory, said
in part:
There is fear being expressed that
when that time comes, the American
born Japanese will concentrate his
political power, elect officials from his
own race and run the local govern
mcnt to suit himself. Therefore, rath.
er than wait until such time comes,
it would be better to have govern
ment by commission. Whether such
thing will happen, remains to be
seen. A good deal will depend on the
American-born Japanese voters them
selves"
Compare this with the words of DR..
A. l.. Dean, president of the College
of Hawaii, spoken at quarterly meet
ing of the Japanese Student Alliance.
March 49, He is credited with say
ing:
Japanese are very numerous here
in Hawaii. and they will soon be the
most. numerous voters. Therefore the
Japanese students ought to give grave
consideration to this civic problem"
He is said to have further cautioned
them that they will need leaders fit to
lead. That the lack of proper Japa-
nese leaders will mean the rule of ig-
rcrance and racial prejudice.
May we rise to ask DR.. Dean to
whom he refers as constituting the
"rule of ignorance?"

attention or give us more publicity.
Let there be one whole afternoon
devoted to the stunt. while Ii could
be brought off IN one OF the public
squares Of the city where everybody
might see, and without cost.
As an inducemeat to any couple to
take this fatal step" il WIS promised,
before last Carnival. and would. with
cot doubt. be promised and guaran-
teed again, that certain merchants OF
this city will do their share towards
giving the fortunate couple start in
life" One grocery firm promised one
months provisions free: another sim
liar firm offered another months gro
ceries, free Two large furniture deal
ers will practically fit the couple out
with household furniture; another
firm promises that the kitchen will
lack nothing that makes life pleasant.
A real estate firm Of the city promises
to pay one months rent on the house
that the couple selects to live in, and
no for the home
This seems to he inducement
enough for anybody, but II could be
further enhanced as follows:
There would undoubtedly be more
than enc couple, willing to make the
plunge on the faithful promise that
the above donations would be real as
sets, and in that case the process of
elimination by public vote could be
employed. selling the votes at the rate
of one cent each, tickets to be printed
with the figure of the number OF votes
paid for. These votes could be placed
on sale with the different firms that
make the contributions, and the pro-
ceeds Of the vote to go to the couple
winning out. -. TX. T.:
1t is more than probable that the
city would donate the use of the band
during the wedding afternoon, and it
goes without contradiction that this
carnival stunt would be talked about
around the world
If il is thought possible to make q
success of THIS stunt let somebody get
busy en- the scneme right away. Be.
sides. young couples do not wish to
get married on a weeks notice.
There will be no hanging back on
the part of the merchants, it is be-
lieve1 and it will be worth all OF
