Oar 0yerheated hOus eS.

The fuel administrator has urg-
ed that as measure of economy
in the use of coal the American
people reduce the temperature of
their furnace-heated houses at
least five degrees this winter, or
from about 70 to about 65 degrees.
This ought to involve no hard
ships or even discomfort for the
public in general, the regular
English standard being 62 de-
grees and foreigners in general
regard American houses as
uncomfortably hot in winter.
Too hot they are in multi'uies
of instances, often registering a
temperature of rs or over. 1t is
said that most medical authori-
ties will en- Enthusiastically indorse
Mr.. Garfeld's recommended Ition,
regarding a temperature of 65
degrees as much more wholesome
than the higher temperature
American householders usually
bask in.
There are two reasons why
this recommendation is not likely
to be generally FOLLOWED short of
the pressure Of necessity. One
is that elderly and ailing people
accustomed to 70 degrees will
find it hard to adjust themselves
to 65 even when heavily clothed.
The other reason, and perhaps
the one most difficult to deal
with, is that nowadays all young
and even middle-aged women,
desire summer heat indoors in
winter so that they can wear
summer clothes which display
their pretty arms and neck, trust
ing to furs and other heavy wraps
when they go out.

Great Potato Crop.

State Agricultural Department
estimates which have just been
issued showing some tremend-
GUS crop increases are indirectly
a tribute to the efficiency of the
campaign inaugurated last Spring
to interest the farmer in speed
ing-up production of non-perish-
able foodstuffs. In that Cam
paign the Pennsylvania Commit
tee of Public Safety was practi-
cally a pioneer and through its
State and local headquarters
much effort was expended to
promote increased planting of all
essential crops.
One of the first publicity eff
forts of the Committee was an
appeal issued through the Food
Supply Department urging farm
ers to give special consideration
to crops which would makeup
for the wheat shortage. Corn
and other food crops and partic-
ularly forage crops for cattle
were recommended.
Estimates indicating a potato
harvest of 80, 0OO,O0 bushels, a
crop almost 40 per cent. in excess
of the previous average for 5
years; an II per cent. increase in
the corn crop and Is per cent.
increase in oats are evidences of
the loyal response of the States
agriculturalist to the call for more
food to win the war.

The Banana as Food.

According to a writer in the
current issue of Leslie's the one
billion eight hundred million
pounds Of bananas which the
people of this country ate last
year were not only good and
economical food but stimulus to
our growing trade with South
America. Here is food which
is seasonable the whole year
through. 1t is cheap as foods 60
nowadays and a great demand
will tend to lower rather than to
increase the price since the supply
is bountiful. In South America
and in the countries of the far
east the banana is known largely
as a cooked food. We have not
yet made a general practice of
cooking bananas and when we
do the experts tell US we shall
find a new food staple. There is
no reason to doubt that the great
er market here for bananas has
a beneficial effect on our recipro-
cal trade with South America,
and in this we gain a double ad-
vantage; since we buy a cheap
food and sell our manufactures.
