CATTLE MARKET
GOOD COMPARISON
Southern Doctor Compares Bananas
With Steak as Food.

DR. Oscar Bowling has proclaimed
bananas the cheapest food on the
market. Potatoes and onions can now
take back seat till the prices come
down. ~ ~'~0a. ~- ss.lA~
The average price of bananas in
New Orleans is two cents a pound.
The edible portion of the banana re-
tails at fraction over two and a
half cents pound.
One pound of the edible portion
contains 400 calories. One pound Of
porterhouse steak contains ! 800
calories.
In other words, two and three-quar-
tiers pounds of bananas, peeled, are
equal to a pound of porterhouse
steak.
In approximate terms one dozen
bananas, the average price Of which
in New Orleans is seven cents, are
equal to one pound Of porterhouse
steak in nutritive value.
Nov that potatoes and onions
have gone up so much in price said
Dr. Downing, 'the public should turn
its attention to the cheaper foods that
viii produce the same results.
Apples. oranges and bananas will
yield the same results to the body as
onions. all but the smell and the fla

edible portion, yields 800 food units.

Gallo Opposition 10 Volunteer Army
Division UnpatriOtic.

In response to the Army Leagues re-
quest that he withdraw his proposal to
raise an army division for service in
Europe, Col Roosevelt made public yes
terday a statement declaring that Amer
lean troops ought to be fighting abroad
at the earliest possible moment. and
more troops should be continually sent
over to fight at their side The only
way to do this Is by raising a force OF
by the universal military service law
he wants to see in effect. he said.
He emphasized the necessity of COM
pulsory military service as a permanent
feature OF American life. and again
made II plain that his proposal to raise
one volunteer force Is no argument
against conscription. He said;
at is simply silly not to encoura ge,
instead Of forbidding, the use of eff
Client men who otherwise would not be
used at all. All opposition to the Hard
ing amendment Is opposition to the prin-
cipie OF universal military service and
however well lntcntioned Is, in its ac-
tual effect. profoundly unpatriotic.
Moreover. 1t is all wrong not to send
an expeditionary force abroad at the
earliest possible moment within the next
few weeks. 1t Is all wrong to propose
have a whole army trained,
"As a matter Of fact half the training
should be given on the other side of the
water. We should put one division at
the front at the earliest moment. keep its
numbers full and put other divisions
side by side with 1t just as rapidly as 1t
Ia possible to send them over, and not
try 10 keep the whole army back to send
over In mass.
1.-THE only wise and patriotic course
to follow Is TO vote for the immediate
application OF the Administration bill
and also TO vote for Senator Iiardng's $
proposition, or some similar PROPOSE
tion, as an addition, not as a substi-
tute."
The ColoneIs statement was made In

his way from Oyster Raw to Chica 60,
