THIRTEEN HEATS ID DECIDE EVENTS IN RACES ARE REQUIRED
Directum I Is Winner of Third Event Over Sixteen Starters Ross B
 Also Wins

Columbus, September 22.-It took 13 heats to race off three events on the weekend card of the grand circuit meet ing here. which will continue through to Thursday night.
 Dlrectum I was heavily played to win the 2:09 pace and Tommy Murphy was up when the first heat was called in- stead of his regular driver, MT. Palin. Murphy finished no better than fifth the first heat, but he breezed away with the next three and the race.
 The 2:08 trot saw the first heat go to Mack Forbes Ross B, the original fla vorite, had a scare of it, too, in the fourth mile, when Peter Chenault fin- ished half length ahead of Ross E, but he was placed third for the run ming break twice on the mile on which he gained ground.
 At the conclusion of the event lit tie excitement was added by MT. Rod ney being fined $50 for laying up the first heat and Mir. McDevitt being fined the same amount. The 2:15 pace had Flora A, Count Marque and Dan Hedgewood as heat winners, before Count Marque squared away and won the race in whipping finishes. Summaries:

Banana as a Cheap Food

By W. E. Aughinbaugh. in Leslie's.
 Today as result of the war across the ocean, we in the United States and other nations face the problem of food short age, and how to conserve the limited sup ply of conestibles to the end that none shall experience the bangs of hunger.
 Some authorities say that four-hfths of the worlds population are vegetarans, and point to the hordes of the orient, especially China, India and the East In dies whose diet Is composed of rice and tropical fruits. chiefly the banana. While the nations of Latin-America are largely meat-eaters, and perhaps the heaviest consumers of meat in the world, their meals are fairly well balanced by liberal use of the banana and it's first cousin the plaintain, which is always served in those countries at breakfast and dinner. The average American hardly realizes what role this food plays in feeding the masses. Its continued use never lades the appetite. I recall taking trip up tho Orinoco river of Venezuela, until we came to the mighty Amazon in Brazil. Due to the upsetting of our canoe the supplies and cooking utensils taken aboard at Ciudad Bolivar were lost, and for the remainder of the voyage, occupying sev- eral weeks, the five Indians and myself, comprising the party. subsisted entirely on boiled monkey or boiled fish, with boiled wild plaintains or boiled bananas When think of the multitudes in Africa Asia, the East Indies, the West Indies, Mexico and Latin-America, whose chief article of diet is this fruit, to say noth-
 ing of those of Europe and this country who are eating 1t more freely now, am certain that had he estimated the num- Der at 300, ,0OO,0 ,000 he would not have been in error. Americans ate 1890 .000,0 GOO pounds of bananas last year or about 5,0Oo,000 pounds day.
 Many truthful claims may be made in urging the more lbera use of this gen. uine food delicacy." Bananas are al ways wholesome, nutritious. cheap, easily digested. always in season. all meat. easy to handle good cooked or raw Nature dramatically seals them in dust and germ-proof package. And above all they are produced without drawing on the na- tion's resources, and their importation from our Latin American cousins aids in developing reciprocal market for our goods

Laws of the Koran.

The koran was given to his follow CTS hot from the brain of MOhammed as the law revealed to him through the angel Gabriel. No other man contrib uted to it's form or substance. The Him. ited range of the knowledge and ex- perience of and suggestions to its au- thor necessarily limited its scope to rules adapted to the relatively simple conditions of the people with whom he was familiar. It failed to anticipate all the needs of the rich and cultured cities of Damascus sBagdad, Cairo, Cor dova' and Seville and sthea millions, of people inhabiting the great empire he founded. His purpose was intensely religious and centered in the overthrow of all idolatry and the establishment of ths worship of the one true and iv- ing God.-Case and Comment.

ABANDON FOOD PREJUp,cEs.
By Ruth A. Peck, Head of Department of Home Economies, Unlver-
 sity of Arkansas.

Don't Be Finicky. Be willing to try new foods. Certain plentiful and nourishing foods widely used and en. joyed in one section are practically unknown in other sections of the country. Learn to know all the good things; not a few only.
 People too easily get into food ruts insist on eating only the food they are used to and refuse to give fair trial to others This causes undlie demand for certain staples, with re. sulting scarcity or high prices when crops are short At the same time other valuable foods may be relative fy cheap and available.
 Cook Food Properly: Learn how 10 cook all kinds of staple foods and to serve them in variety of ways Simple dishes we'll prepared are bet ter than expensive foods badly cook. cd. Many persons are prejudiced against certain good foods because, when frst tried, the foods were i'm. properly cooked or prepared Remove from your vocabulary don't like" or cant eat" Most individual preiu. dices against widely popular foods are either imaginary CT baseless. rry to Ike every simple food; give 1t a fair trial .es

Antonio Stradivari.

Antonio Stradivari was born in 1644, and died in 1737, ninety-three years of age. His early violin was made like his masters and signed with his name. In 1870 he first began to sign his own instruments with his own name. Dur ing the following 20 years he only made few. The year 1890 was one of tran sition in his career, but still he pre- served the tradition of the Amatis school, and his viOlins of this period are commonly called Stradivarius Am atis. His first instruments were con structed from 17O0 to 1725; during the subsequent five years to 173O the work manship of them is not of so high an order. and in 173O. or even little earlier, the impress of Stradivari is al- most entirely lost.

The Hull House, one of the first American settlements, was established in Chicago in September, 1889. It rep resented no association, but was opened by two women backed by many friends, in the belief that the mere foothold of house, easily accessible, situated in tine midst of the large for eign colonies, would in itself be serv- iceahle in large city. The Hull House work consists of class lectures, public discussions, trade unions, arts and crafts, u music school, a. theater, q gymnasium, various social clubs, q cOf- fee house, Il day nursery, etc. Jane Addams, head of the Hull House, was hofn at Cedalville, H., in 1S60..

Bleeders and the Fruit Diet.

The fruit diet is sure and positive cure for what is popularly known as bleeding and for persons usually desig- hated as bleeders; persons who cannot stop the flow of blood once it is start- ed rom wound or other cause. The fruit diet will supply the blood with
 nbrln. Fibrin is the substance out of which nature fabricates flesh and mus. cie. A person on the fruit diet hardly oleeds at all when he cuts himself &C., cldentally with knife, or when. for anterior reasons, a dentist is forced 10 draw one of his teeth. The blood coagulates almost instantaneously. If you believe none of this just try it. The, experience is safe and sane.--Los

Start the Day Right.

Start your day right. Bury the. hatchet of the night before. Leave all your grouches in the bedroom and come out into the dawn of new day with a smile. What matter if some one has annoyed you the night before? That day has passed with every pleas ure and annoyance. Today is only started, and no one knows what will happen, good or bad, so it is well to be prepared for the best. Too many prepare for the worst, look for 1t and get 1t. Smiles are the least expensive of all joys of life, and the most ur building. So smile whenever you can
