BOON TO MASSES
Substantial Addition to Food Supply
of Working Classes.

In the course of speech delivered
on his return from a visit to Jamaica.
Sir James Crichton- Browne, MD.
+ RS. said; II wish all our school
children could have bananas from
time to time +. The banana is not
q havoured fruit, that is 70 say, a
little sugar and water with drop OF
some essence thrown III, but a food
huit containing. in an agreeable
form. all the essential clements OF
nutrition. As an adjunct to our
other foods it is of great value, being
az once acceptable to all - for it is
not an acquired taste giving vari-
ETY. to the domestic diet table and
mingling we'll with other comcstiblcs
. am quite sure that the Jamai-
can banana, than which there is none
finer or better aavoured when il is
oi the proper degree of ripcness, ia. ir
the guise OF a cheap luxury, a subs
stantial addition to our food supply
which is certain more and more to
command itself TO the working classes
in our large towns"
IN communication to the author,
dated December, 1912, he writes: "Ex-
tended experience of the banana has
deepened my conviction OF its food
value. 1t is u great boon to the
masses Of our people, and while re-
taining its place on the dessert table
OF the rich, has found its way into the
hands of the poor. Its portability
palatability, digestibility are immense
advantages, and ] am glad to see that
1t IS largely taking the place Of the
sandwich on railway journeys. When
in good condition, it is microbe- proof,
and it assuredly supplies wholesome
nutliment."
The universal experience of man
kind, wherever the fruit can be OBJ
tained, confirms the opinion of phys
icians and food experts as to its mer-
it's. In some regions the banana and
plantain are amongst the principal
food-stuifs Of the native population.
