THE BANANA As A FOOD.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel 6. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

The banana is a tropical fruit.
In Its natural state it grows in
great abundance and the cost is
comparatively little in labor to
sustain the trees. Its flavor is
generally liked by man. 1t is
nourshing as it contains one and
three-tenths per cent. proteins.
six-tenths per cent. fats, and
twenty-five per cent. carbohy-
drates, With a full value of four
hundred and forty-seven calories
per pound.
In Rio de Janeiro, South
America, the forests Of these
tall dignified trees present an at
tractive sight. The leaves are
not as beautiful as those of the
hardwood trees of our colder
climates which shed their foliage
in the fall of the year and sleep
until the warm sun starts the
sap circulating, somewhat as
the blood circulates through
mans vascular system. Foliage
Of tropical vegetation that is ex-
posed the entire year around to
winds, hot suns, etc., is thereby
faded and damaged until it is
not comparable to our fresh,
spring growths.
In the tropics the fruit is left on
the banana tree until thoroughly
ripe, and the natives are partic-
ular to cook it before eating, as
it is otherwise hard to digest.
But in order to allow of shipping
it is packed green. Then it is
sent all over the civilized world
to a people who, even to this
day, do not know how to handle
it.
The beautiful yellow fruit is
attractive and therefore is plac-
ed on our tables to be eaten raw.
This is often injurious, as it
causes indigestion. The fruit,
when fit to eat, has many black
spots on the skin and sometimes,
even, the whole skin becomes
black. This indicates that it has
ripened. Even in this state,
however, it is not as easily diges-
tible as when cooked.
The small dealers purchase
the. fruit green and, to hasten
the ripening of some to sell at
once so as to get their money
back quickly, resort to different
methods. One is to put it in
heir beds so that the heat of
he body makes it marketable
sooner. This is a dirty, danger
'us habit. Once we had a ty-
'hoid fever epidemic at Lynn,
Mass, as a result of this custom.
)ne of the occupants of the bed
lad the fever. Always treat the
kin as dirty, infected part Of

Our children are often made

COUNTY INSTITUTE.
December 81. The Strongest and Best
Talent in the History Of The
County Work.

The fifty-frst annual sessio
of the Fulton County Teachers
Institute will convene in the au
ditorium of the Public Schoc
Building Monday December 3 a
1:30 o'clock.
We wish to invite, and indee
to urge, all friends of education
to attend all sessions.
Our Instructors have a nationa
reputation along their line O
work and, therefore; live educa
tional subjects will be discusse,
at each and every one of its ses
sions.
No patron interested in tn,
good of our schools can afford t,
miss any of these addresses.
The night entertainments ar,
first class.
On Monday evening, we shal
have with US Hon. Nathan c.
Schaffer, State Superintendent
of Public Institution, who viii
deliver q lecture 'The Schoo
and the War"
Our people have heard DR..
Schaffer on former occasions,
and it is needless to say that this
lecture WI BE most valuable and
instructive . our people coming
as 1t does, W N we are engaged
in the most lgantic struggle
that the world has ever seen.
Alton Packard, the Master
Cartoonist," will give an enter
tainment on Tuesday evening.
This is said to be very humorous.
Packard draws his cartoons in
the presence of his audience.
Those persons who enjoy an eve-
ming of good, clean, fun, cannot
afford to miss Packard.
This is actually a high priced
entertainment.
On Wednesday evening DR..
Edward Amherst OFT, will de-
liver his famous lecture Sour
Grapes.
This lecture has been delivered
over two thousand times.
The management of the Coun-
ty Institute has been desirous of
securing DR.. OFT during the past
three years, but the source of
finance with which to run a coun-
ty institute in Fulton County is
small there being only eighty
four teachers in the county-we
have not had DR.. OFT before.
This time we have taken the
chance; and we wish to say that
any one who does not take advan-
tage of the opportunity, will
miss a first class lecture.
The Fairchild Ladies Quartet
will entertain US on Thursday
evening. This, also, comes
highly recommended as a first
class entertainment.
The County Superintendent has
spared neither time nor money
in his effort to make this one of
the most entertaining and profit
able institutes the county has
ever held.
To all persons land especially
to those persons who may feel
unable to attend the night ses-
sions) we give a strong invitation
to attend every one of its day
sessions. We feel that all friends
Of education need the institute,
and that the institute needs all |
friends of education.

WAR SAYING PLAN.
How You Can Help Uncle Sam Win the
War, and at The Same Time Help
Yourself.

~ 10 Ny Saving tnc pennies ina
you may be able to save tn
dimes. 1t was Franklin tina
said, "A penny saved is two
pence earned" A government
is powerful just in proportion a
its people are thrifty and frugal
Just now the Government need
money and at the same time, i
wants you to learn the lesson O
saving and thrift.
You may not have fifty dollar,
to buy a liberty bond. The Gov
ernment has made it possible fol
you to help with a small sum al
twenty five cents. The WARSAW
ings plan provided for in the las
bond act, of September "a, 1917
had been formulated and announ.
ed by the Treasury Department
and goes into operation on Mon.
day, December 3.
The plan puts it easily in reach
of every American citizen to save
money and at the same time aid
the Government by supplying it
with sinews of war.
Stamps which are the Govern
ment's certificates of indebted
ness, are to be sold in two demon.
inations-thrift stamps, which
cost 70 cents each and war-sav-
ings stamps which cost from
$4. II to S4 % each according to
the month in which they are
purchased.
With the first thrift stamp the
purchaser is given a thrift card
with spaces for 16 stamps. When
10 thrift stamps have been pur-
chased and affixed the thrift
card can be exchanged for a war
savings stamp by paying the diff
ference between the $4 the thrift
stamps represent and the cur
rent value of a war-savings stamp
which in December 1917 and Jan
uary, 1918, will be $4.12 and
thereafter l cent for each sue
ceeding month during the year
1918.
With the first war-savings
stamps obtained by purchase or
exchange the owner is given a
war-savings certificate contain
ing space for 20 war-savings
stamps. If the 20 spaces are fill
ed during December, 1917 or jan
uary 1918 the cost to the purchas-
er will be SAP for each stamp or
$S2.4 for the full certificate and
on the 1st day of January, 1923,
the Government will redeem the
certificate at 500, giving the
holder a net profit of $17.60 for
the use of his money.
Although these investments do
not mature until January l, 1923 |
provision is made whereby upon
10 days. written notice after Jan
uary l, 1918, such certificates will
be redeemed by postmasters at
their cost to the purchaser plus |
cent month on each war. savings
stamp on the certificate.
The thrift stamps do not bear
interest, but the war-savings
stamps bear a percent. compound
ed quarterly. The certificates
will be dated January2, 1918 and
mature January l, 1923.
Under the plan 40 amount as
small as 25 cents car be invest
ed in a Government security,
and as soon as $4 has been thus
invested an nterest-bearing
certificate of the United States
Government can be secured.
The stamps and certificates can
De obtained from post Offices,
banks, or trust companies, at
most railroad stations, stores,
'actories, and many other public
places.
Having the entire wealth of
he United States back of them,
md being redeemable as above
tated, there is no danger of any
depreciation in value of the GER ,
ificAtes.
