EAT \ BANANA AND SAVE
 BREAD

The best way to save flour is to stop the eating of bread. But such advice is worthless unless we know what to eat instead of bread. During these summer months our gardens and the cheap vegetables that flood the markets furnish the answer. But all the year around the banana, a tropical fruit, can be depended upon very largely to furn- ish starch and sugar and q good sup ply of mineral salts at a price which under ordinary conditions is no greater than wheat flour.
 Bananas are brought to our mar ket while they are still green, in specially fitted boats which touch the ports in the West Indies and Central and South America. Our ability to get bananas at ten to twenty-five cents a dozen, depending upon their size and condition, is regulated by the carryng capacity of the banana fleet. Any readjust- ment of our shipping to meet the need of freighters for carrying munitions and supplies across the Atlantic which Ytbdraws these ban ana boats from service cuts off a very important food supply.
 It is foolish to urge people to save wheat by consuming less bread ig at the same time we mako it impossible for them to get the cheap food from the tropics.-EVen-. ing Mail.

Children With Normal
 Throats Less Subject to InfantiIe Paralysis
By Dr.. HAVEN EMERSON, COmmis>
 sioner of Health. New York City

IT FEEL certain today that there l will be no epidemic of infantile
 paralysis this year. Our igno- rance a year ago as to the control of the disease was complete. We obtained the advice we could and gave wide publicity to it. We stat ed to the public that there was a new and serious disease among us and that we knew no way in which to control it. ALL DOCTORS WE'RE URGED TO STUDY THE DISEASE.
 We as a department have learned that there is no evidence that en- vironment plays part in the spread of the disease. Everything tends to confirm the theory that poliomyeli- tis spreads by personal contact like other diseases which are personal lin their communication. Nothing was learned to indicate that unclean surroundings, dirt or bad air had anything to do with the communica- ton of the disease.
 IT Is APPARENT THAT GILL pREN WITH NORMAL THRoATs ARE LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE DISEASE THAN THOSE WITH As- NORMAL THRoATs OR THOSE. WHO HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH ApENolDs OR ToNsILs.
