VALUABLE ARTICLE OF FOOD
Banana Really Is Not Appreciated
Anything Like as Much as 1t
Ought to Be.

The banana is one of the most use
full of all foods. When the population
of the earth becomes OvercrOwded, we
shall have to eat more bananas and
less bread. An acre in wheat will
yield 900 pounds of food. An acre in
bananas will yield 10000 pounds.
The banana resembles in compost
ton the sweet potato. Both contain
~ per cent of protein and 20 per
cent carbohydrates. The banana con-
tains more starch than fruits of the
temperate cline. AS it ripens, the
starch gradually turns to sugar.
The late Edgar Wallace Conable
said that the banana is the only food
which may safely be eaten when it
has been picked green. This, he ex-
planned, is because the green bananas
draw nourishment out of the great CEN:
trail stem, which gradually shrinks and;
withers. A banana should never be
eaten until the skin is beginning to
turn black. Some claim that they,
should be entirely black. However, it
is not necessary to go so far as that.
AS they turn black the starch turns to
sugar. Scrape the white material from
beneath the skin before you eat the
fruit.

Novel Bed for ParalYtics.

One of the great problems in certain
cases of spinal wounds with paralysis
is how to move the patient sufficiently
to make his bed and tend his wounds
without increasing his suiferings by
moving him. The new bed solves the
problem. Surrounding the bed just at
the edge of the mattress is a rectan-
gular framework of hollow metal pip
ing. Connecting the two parallel sides
are broad bands of webbing stretched
across the mattress, and on these the
patient lies. The two short sides of
the framework, the one at the head of
the bed and the other at the foot, are
connected by a geared wheel with
vertical steel post SO that by simply
turning a handle at the head or foot
of the bed the framework, with the
patient lying on the webbing, can be
lifted off the mattress without his po-
sition being changed in the least.

BUGLE IN MODERN WARFARE
Something of an Analogy Between
That Instrument and the Trumpets
Sounded at Jericho.

A glass bar set vibrating lengthwise
by a sound will smash to pieces if the
sound rise to high enough key-that
is, if the number of vibrations becomes
great enough And the hardest metals,
such as iron and steel, will break like
glass under the rhythmic shock of oft
repeated feeble blows. For this rea-
son when regiments march across a
metal bridge they are always ordered
to break step, in order that the impact
of their feet may not set up rhythmic
vibrations in the structure.
Many persons who have a mania for
explaining in materialistic way all
the wonders related in the Bible have
conjectured that when the walls of
of Joshua's< army these were keyed to
set up In the walls precisely the vibra-
lions that would shatter them. And
1t may be said that this explanation is
by no means confined to materialiStS,
for this very opinion was held also by
the old Jewish rabbis, as well as by
st. Augustine, st. Jerome and st. Am
DTOSe. bul dlutT hlI-
cher, s. j., in his learned treatise, 'Mu-
Surgia universalis" (book Ky, showed
the insufficiency of such a physical eX-
PLANTATION and concluded that only a
miracle could have produced that eff
feet.
Nicolas Flannel, writing in La Nature
on the acoustics of speaking strumpets,
cites the aforementioned authors and
mentions the highly interesting fact
that great French scientist showed
the officers of the troops that recap
tured the for of Douaumont year
ago a way to use the bugle. Until then
and ever since the Germans dug them
selves in after their defeat on the
Marine the bugles had been silent, as
they could be heard equally well in the
enemy's trenches. M. Flannel adds
that this scientist has since then made
great improvements in the use of the
bugle at the front, but military exigen-
cies forbid going into details.

of some provisions particularly eggs,
milk, fruit and fresh meat. We were
very fortunate to have on board
resourceful fellow named Brand, who
pulled us out Of the difficulty in good
shape. First he went to the hatch
way for eggs, but, as they were a lit
tie too old to eat, they were used for
cooking, and he requested the captain
to have the ship lay to. This opera
ton was repeated until we had eggs
enough to go round,
"Then, at Brands suggestion, the
captain fired a ships rocket into the
Milky Way, and all we had to do was
to hold buckets and catch the milk as
it poured out of the hole made by the
rocket, For a fruit supply we let
down buckets over the side of the ship

Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1918-07-05
LET THE PEOPLE RULE"

The Republican is not afraid of
the farmers of Idaho destroying the
state by getting into politics. What
ever may be true of Townley as to
his patriotism. the big TACT is that
the farmers are patriotic, and will
go to their limit to save Idaho. For
example, the average price of cleo
trio juice in Idaho to the consumer
is about IL cents per kilowatt. Now
in Minadoka the Government owns
and operates a big power plant.
What do you suppose people pay for
electric juice there? Three cents
per Kilowatt. That being a fact,
do you favor government-owned
and operated water power, which Is
the people themselves operating for
themselves, or are you for private
monopoly? The farmers ana others
want the government to develop and
operate water power for the people.
Taking Minadoka as a sample what
do you favor? And when the non
partisan league favors this we are
not going to throw a fit and declare
the farmers are dangerous and un-
patriotic.
We talk of Government Of, fol-
and by the people. We say we are
willing to let the people rule. .And
the Republican subscribes to these
doctrines and goes SO far az to say
that it believes the farmer is a par
of the people and that this govern
ment is of and for the farmer, ant
that when the farmers want to have
a part in the government and make
it ''by" the people we are in favor
of that.
We are not in favor Of govern
ment for and by any one class t.
the detriment of another class o
citizens. We are in favor of gov
eminent for and by and Of all tn
people; and that is sound both II
principle and practice.
