NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS.

Complaint is being made that own CTS or occupants of residence prop erty within the city are emptying water from bath tubs, lavatories, closets, wash basins, sinks and other appliances into the ditches and on the ground. The law in that respect is:
 ''Sec. 226. That all property own CTS and residents and occupants of buildings are hereby prohib- ited from using and discharging water upon the ground in the City of Pres cott."
 A violation of that law is punish able by fine of not less than $10.00 nor more than $25.0O.
 No argument can be advanced in favor of a violation of this law. I have given property owners and oc- cupants nearly five years within which to connect all appliances men toned in the ordinance with the city sewer. The extension of time was granted on the ground that many property owners were not financially able to make the necessary improve ments. The future health of the people demands strict and immedi ate compliance with the law.
 Notice is therefore hereby given that beginning June 1st, 1917 each and every violation of the above ordi- nance, in the residence or business sections of the city, as well as all health ordinances, will be prosecuted and each day shall constitute a sep arate offense. The mere fact that the property does not belong to the occupant will be no justification for violating the law.
 This May 18th, 1917.

COOKS ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY

One of the best ways OF cooking
potatoes was accidentally discovered
through the unpunctuality of a
train. When the line from Paris
to st. German was opened the first
train carried an official party for
whom lunch was ordered The meal
was fixed for noon, and shortly be-
fore that hour the potatoes were put
on to fry. A few minutes afterward
message came that the train would
probably be delayed for an hour. so
the potatoes were taken oc tae fire,
but left in the pan Then came a
second message, Train just arriv-
irg." and the potatoes were hurried
Ily put back to fry again. When the
party sat down to lunch the potatoes
were brought on with the steak
Each chip was then found to be
blown out like a small. crisu.
golden balloon, to the delight of the
guests. The cook without knowing
it had invented pommes de cerre
souff1es.

BANANAS MAKE A GOOD FLOUR
tNew York Packer.)

Washington, ID. c., July II In
a recent report in Commerce Reports,
Consul Henry D. Baker, Trinidad
British West Indies, says that the
Horticultural Club of Trinidad has
arranged to have loaves of brea 1
baked fom banana -four prepared at
local bakeries and offered for public
sale in order that the people may
have an opportunity to know that a
most palatable bread can be made
from banana -four.
At a recent meeting of this club
samples of banana -four and bread
were exhibited and the method Of
preparation described. 1t was en-
planned that the bananas from which
the flour and bread were made had
been taken from trees only five days
previously, the silk fig" small va
rietv of banas producing the best re-
suits.
The process was described rs fol-
lows: Full-grown green bananas
should be selected Peel, slice and
dry quickly, preferably on galvan-
lied sheet, then grind in ordinary
corn mill. From Sc pounds of green
bananas, 16 1-2 pounds of -four had
beer obtained in the specimens
show The bread, which was very
palatable, had been made from two
parts of banana -four and one part
OF wheat -four. The banana -four
could also be used as a substitute for
oatmeal porridge and also for max
ing buildings.
Reckoning the cost of the bananas
used in the above experiment at zoe
and the labor for preparing into
-Four at zoe, it had cost soc, equal
to about Sc per pound.
The London Lancet was quoted a.
stating that banana -four is more di
gestible and contains more nitrogen
Gus matter than wheat -four; also il
could keep for considerable length
Of time.
It was also stated at the meetina
that plantains could be made into
-four in the same manner. and such
-four was very nourishing for chill
dren. Reference was made to thu
fact that such flour was exported
from British Guiana and was known
as "bannanine. :"

JUNE BLOOM AND BEES

The man who has a hive of bees
in his citrus grove at present writinr
will not get stung. From all parts
of the State come reports of an un-
precedented summer bloom. There
has only been one objection TO the
fruit from summer bloom. and thar
is that on account of the rainy season
this bloom is not as we'll pollenized
as that. of the earlier months.
However. the presence of a hive
corrects this to great extent Bees
are called the marriage priests of
fruits and flowers on account OF their
Sood work in this line. And no, only
will they aid in the proper develop-
ment of the bloom we are now en-
loying, but the honey that is ex-
rtacted from orange blossoms sells
at a premium. Florida Grower
