BANANA FLOUR AND BREAD

which the -four and bread we're made

days previously, the silk fig small va

The process was described as fol-

should be selected. Peel, slice and dry

sheet, then grind In ordinary corn
mill. From SO pounds of green ba-
nanas 1914 pounds of -four had been
obtained In the specimens shown. The
bread. which was very palatable. had
been made from two parts of banana
-four and one part of wheat -four. The
banana -four could also be used as a
substitute for oatmeal porridge and al

LEGAL WltticIsms.

Stories from the law courts are apt
to be good, legal wit being noted for
its dryness. But this story claims no
particular merit, except as showing
the usefulness Of a ready wit, observes
the Christian Science Monitor. The
counsel for the plaintiff was delivering
an impassioned address. He was
somewhat weighty In person, and hap
pened to be leaning on a very old
chair. In the middle of the torrent Of
eloquence, the chair gave way and the
barrister lay on the floor In the midst
of the ~wreckage. He got up and, I'M
perturbed, pointing to the broken chair,
said: THAT proves the strength Of
my argument" The court smiled
broadly, but laughed outright when the
opposing counsel promptly replied
'"The learned counsel's argument may
be all that he claims for 1t, but 1t fell
to the ground"

CELlBATES IN LARGE NUMBER
Seventeen Millions Of Class In United
States, Many Being Inferior to
Married People.

There are 100000 celibates In the
United States, according to a state
ment which has been going the rounds
of the press, after originating In a
magazine article on the sex question:"
says the Journal of Heredity. Exam
nation of the census schedules for
1910 indicates that this figure includes
all males over twenty and all females
over fifteen.
"a calculation based on such age
limits is misleading. but the actual
facts are quite striking enough. Per-
sons t~hirty-fve years of age or over
are relatively unlikely to marry, and
1t seems fair to base computations on
that age. They show, then, that there
are nearly 100000 unmarried men In
the population, and about 1,250,0O0 IN
married women. There are about l.
100000 unmarried women between the
ages Of twenty-five and thirty-four,
and a considerable part of these are
certain never to marry.
"The celibacy Of these millions is
from a eugenic point Of view. not
wholly to be deplored. While the num-
Der includes many potential fathers
and mothers of q desirable character
1t is probable that. on the whole, these
lifelong celibates are eugenically infe
rior to the married population"

NO MILK FROM CHINESE cow
5ossy Of the Flowery Kingdom Yields
Only to offsprlna-Used Only for
Draft Purposes.

Americans who travel through the
interior of China greatly miss Cows
Milk and Her Butter" as a japanese
sign puts 1t. The people of the Orient
use little Of either. Mares milk is sold
to invalids at a high price, because the
Chinese believe that Ii Is a source OF
great bodily strength. says the Youths

If by any possibility she can avoid 1t.
In Japan there are now a few Am

like goats. One of these cows was Inn
ported into Korea by a missionary, but
he had difficulty in getting his coolie

fresh from his country home, where he
had heard little and see less. He
took the COW for an elephant and fed

ACCOUNTS FOR GHOST C0LORS
Eye Is Especially Sensitive to Two
Kinds Of Perceptions, Light and
Color PredominatIna.

In reply to an inquiry why are
ghosts always seen clothed In white, a
scientist states:
This is easily accounted for. As
there have been no ghosts during his
torical times, we must assume hat In
all cases where ghosts have been act
ually seer we have to do with mere
Authorizations caused by fever or some
other disorders of the observer, where,
therefore, the organ of sense, and par
ticularly the eyes, registered impress
sions of objects that had no corre-
spending external existence. Accord
ing to the minute descriptions of such
apparitions given by patients to their
physicians, the ghosts. with rare ex-
ceptions, were "clad In white" Now,
our eye is sensitive to two kinds OF
perceptions, viz, light and color. In
this case, where no definite color was
perceived. the hallucination, In which
only the organs of the eye sensitive
to light are affected, is declared to be
white.
Still. there are also col0red appari-
tons of ghosts; nay, we can Introduce
into the body substances calculated to
impair our sense of color. Thus, the
immoderate use of hashish produces
violent visions; of alcohol, blue ones;
of atropin and skopolamin, red ones.
OuInine and tco much tobacco like
wise produce red visions, while sail
cylic acid, digitalin and phenacetin
cause light yellow sensations. The In
of carbonic oxide, and snake
bite, too, are said to be followed by
light yellow sensations Of sight.

PATRIOTISM OF THE STOMACH
Neither Fried Chicken Nor siseu'ts

There are all kinds and varieties or

are pickles of a certain variety. There
Is the patriotism of speech, the patri-
otism Of arms. or money. OF service
and so IN. But of them all the hard
est for the average individual Is the
patriotism of the stomach. So thought
a bunch Of Indianapolis men who In
vaded Brown county for a day Of hunt
ing, says the Indianapolis News.
After a day Of hiking and tramping
over the hills, In which q nice string
of rabbits was the prize, these stirred
business men" adjourned to the farm
er's house where they had planned on
a big "feed." You can imagine their
surprise and disgruntled feelings when
on seating themselves at the table they
found neither meat nor bread. The
expected fried chicken and hot biscuits
were missing. OF course. no n said
anything. but a good many thoughts
made the air quiet.
That evening as they were leaving
for the train the old farmer friend
pointed to a small placard In the win
dow, and said: "Well, boys, the next
time you come down Wen have that
fried chicken and biscuits. Mary said
we was a member Of the United States

ADVERTISING
LIBERTY BONDS

The Government is face to fac'
with a proposition to sell the bonds o.
the third liberty loan. Two loans
have gone over on the wave of Gu
thusiasm for the winning of the wa"
A third loan will be harder to negoti-
ate unless the government does the
sensible thing-effectively advertises
what it has to sell.
Newspapers have only n thing to
dispose of, and that is space. The
intimation that the Government pat
ronage would lead to a subsidized
press is ridiculous. The argument
that the Government, having estab-
lished a principle, would have to pay
directly for all of the space it got is
not well founded, for the primary pur-
pose of a newspaper is to publish the
news. To repeat the news is to ad-
vertise it. That is what the govern
ment should pay for-the repetition of
propaganda for the sale of bonds to
provide the sinews of war.
The contention that the money to
pay for advertising should come from
business men is not fair to a class of
citizens already seriously b%urdened
by the war.
The third and the fourth and the
fifth and all other Liberty loans
should be marketed by advertising
just as a public utility markets its
bonds-with the advantage that the
fiat of the Government is back of the
Liberty bond.
The opinions of the newspapers are
neither purchasable nor open to sus-
picion of being so, because space
therein is sold to anybody for a&s
legitimate reason. - washington
