William Withers was leader Of the
orchestra in Ford's theater on the
night of Lincoln's assassination. He
was acquainted with the martyred
president, and with Booth, who killed
him, having spent an hour with the
latter before the fatal performance.
= A few seconds after Booth had
jumped from the presidents box to

his thrilling meeting with Booth imme-

MUSIC ROLLS QUICKLY MADE
Useful Machine Designed Especially
for the Use of Retail Dealers
Recently Put on the Market.

Designed especially for the use of
retail dealers, compact machine that
perforates music rolls for use in play
er pianos is being introduced. The ap-
paratus is described in the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. 1t is capable of
making from one to 15 records ut
time from sheet music, and will also
turn out copies of any standard roll.
Its operation is said to be so simple
that satisfactory work can be done by
persons who are not musicians. The
particular advantage of the machine
seems to be that 1t enables small
dealer to fill his customers orders
promptly without having to carry
large, expensive stock. 1t also obvi-
ates the Inconvenience that confront
patrons when special orders have to
be mailed to factory before their
wants can be supplied. Since 16 sheets
can be perforated simultaneously, a
dealer in making roll to order has an
opportunity to add Is records to his
stock with no expense other than the
bare cost Of the paper and spools.

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 tro pical fruit, which is easily and cheaply grown, can be depended upon very largely to furnish starch and sugar and good supply of mineral salts at a price which under ordinary condi- tions is no greater than wheat flour.
 Bananas are brought to our market while they are still green, in specially htted 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 is regulated by the carry ing capacity of the banana fleet. Any readJustment of our shipping to meet he need of freighters for carrying
