We are giving space in our editorial
columns this week to the live infor-
nation and forcibly argument given
by Rev. Over president of the Negro
Commercial Association. We have,
after a careful investigation endorsed
this organization as non-politica1, non
denominational and non-sectarian and
we are recommending this organiza-
ton as the very best means to accom-
plish the greatest commercial activity
in this community. In this organiza-
ton, like all others there are and will
be, men and women distasteful to you
and l and many others. but we must
take what we have, ana mould out of
it or develop it into what we want or
need. Therefore we ask you to get
interested in the way you spend your
money and spend it in the manner
that will do the race the most good.
Read Rev. Overs article again. This
organization does not belong to any
man or body. So everybody join.

One of the big ocean liners was sew

telling stories about their experiences
at sea. Finally it was the turn of a
person who had previously been boast

ut happened number of years
ago." said he, con my fifteenth trip
across the ocean, when we ran short
of some provisions, particularly eggs,
milk, fruit and fresh meat. We were
very fortunate to have on board a
resOnrceful 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
and picked up enough ocean currants
to last for a week. The next day we
had foul weather, which provided us
with plenty Of ducks and chickens.
Some of these we ate and others we
kept to replenish our egg supply"

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 Saten when 1t
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, 1t
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.

No More White Flour.

Under orders from the United
States Government all the flour mills
in the country have ceased the man
ufacture of high-grade patent flours,
and are now making only a single
grade of standard whole wheat -four.
This order caused many mills to
close down entirely for a few days
while they altered their machinery
to comply with the new require
ments of the Governments order.
This order, it is said, will result in
the conservation of millions of
millions of bushels of wheat which
will be shipped to our allies in the
war, and while it will not be pos
sible to make the beautiful white
cakes and biscuit and pastries
which many have long been used
to, the new -four will be richer in
nourishment, and much better for
stomachs than the old patent"
kinds.
