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 1i5 per cent of protein and 20 per cent carbohydrates. The banana con tains more starch than fruits of the temperate cline. As 1t 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 h0S been picked green. This, he eX- plained. is because the green bananas draw nourishment out of the great cen tral stem, which gradually Shrinks and withcrs. A banena should never he eaten until the skin is beginning to turn black. Some claim that they should he 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.

The one-piece frock of cloth, for street wear, worn with q separate coat when the weather is cold. has run q very close second to the tailored coat suit for more than q year. And the one-piece afternoon gown of satin, silk or crepe georgette, for dresSy wear, has Outdistanced everything else, in point of popularity. Both these are shown in immense variety of design and decoration. The two examples pictured above are selected from among many that employ sOutache braid or braid effects in their garniture. Both are similar in construction.
 The froclI of serge at the right has been developed in other popular weaves, the straight, long-waisted bod ice and plaited skirt being style fea lures of wide application. In the de- tails of the sleeves, girdle and decora ton this model has charms peculiarly Its own. One reason for the success of frocks of this' kind lies In the ab sence of q waistlIne; for the manage ment of the waistline appears to have given American dreSsmakers more trouble than any other part of their work.
 In this model the skirt is bOx-plait ed, extending to the ankles, with plaits

pressed in to stay. The sleeves are of the serge set into plain underbOdice, and divided below the elbow, where the fairly full upper sleeve is joined to a close-ftting long forearm portion. The girdle is of black satin and extends about the sides and back, where it is knotted and falls in long ends, finished with balls fashioned of the satin. Sou tache braid and needleWOrk make up the handsome and unusual decoration, An embroidered linen collar proclaims it's loyalty to this model with em- brodered ncedlcwOrk motifs matching those that appear on the bodice and sleeves.
 The frock of georgette crepe is belt ed at the waist with a lighter color in crepe than is used for the dress. The collar and bands at the sides of the bodice are of this light crepe and the braid used for decorating the panel at the front of the skirt, and the bodice, match it in color. In spite of its sheer ness and softness geOrgette crepe proves to be q fabric of considerable strength, not nearly as fragile as it

Sure! High Heels
Cause Corns But
Who Cares Now


Because style DEGREES that women
crowd and buckle up their tender toes
in high heel footwear they suffer from
corns. then they cut and trim at these
painful pests which merely makes the
corn grow hard This suicidal habit
may cause lockjaw and women are
warned to stop 1t.
A few drops OF a drug called freez-
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives quick relief and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain. Ask the drug store man for a
quarter of an ounce of freezone. which
costs very little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or callus
from ones feet.
This drug Is an ether compound and
'"e~ in a moment and simply shrivels
up the corn without inflaming or even

Your War Garden

Gardeners who were venturesome
enough to plant sweet corn early in
April may find that only small per-
centage of the seed terminated and
sprouted All the blanks in the rows OF
hills should be replanted at once. and
with warmer soil and quicker growing
conditions the replanted seed, if good
will nearly catch up to the first plant :
ing in months time. 1t is time now
to put in the second planting, or il
the second planting is up. put in the
third.
Don't neglect to help the spndly
young plants, such as beets, carrots
and parsnips, to get start. Beets.
especially, when they break thru the
ground are very liable to injury. If the
ground is allowed to bake around the
plants when they are small. as it is
doing now in heavy loan soils such
as are common in this city, the bakin e
process has a tendency to squeeze the
tiny plants at the point where they
come out of the soil. The squeezing
process sort of shuts off the circulation
in the stem. and if such plant is ey-
amined closely it will be found that the
plant stem at this spot Is withered and
nearly cut in two. The soil should be
broken up carefully cose up to the
plants to prevent this. The same Is
true, in a less measure. with carrots
and parsnips. The thinning out of
these plants should be begun at once.
If you have not yet set out your to-
mato plants, and there is still ample
time for tomatoes will make little pro-
gress so long as these cool nights con-
tinue, here is a suggestion for setting
them, especially If the plants are tall
and spindly. Instead of setting the
plants upright. place them in the
ground at an angle Of about forty five
degrees with the surface of the soil,
burying the stem up to the first side
shoots. The stem will send out roots
all along its length that Is buried under
ground and the root system will be
Just that much increased. Tomatoes
may be grown either tied up to stakes
or racks or allowed to spread on the
ground. Tied up plants produce earlier
and more uniform tomatoes. Pruning
off both the tops and some Of the sids
shoots will hasten the ripening, and
give earlier tomatoes. If stakes or
alongside the plants when the latter
are small, and the plants should be tied
to them as they grow.
Egg plant can be grown successfully
i here out Of doors, but the plants should
not be set out for g. little while yet.
Egg plants Will only thrive in warm
soil and high temperature. The soil
should be very rich, in fact it is next
to impossible to get the soil too rich
for egg plants. Set the plants in rows
two feet apart and the rows two and
one half to three feet apart Cultiva-
ton should be frequent and it is well
to work in around the plants additional
fertilizer, such as well rotted manure
or bone meal, when the plants are
| about half grown. Egg plants are
ready to eat as soon as they are large
enough, but they are quite perishable
| and can not be successfully kept for a
very long time.

CITY TO APPLY TO FEDERAL
COURT FOR ORDER TO EXAM
ELECTRICAL ACCOUNTS.
COMPANY DENIES AUDITORS
ACCESS TO THESE RECORDS
City Will Contend in Application to Be
Filed Tuesday in the Federal Court
That Examination of Electrical Ac-
counts Is Vital to Arrive at True
Earnings and Valuations.

Following the refusal Of the Iowa
Railway and Light Company to allow
accountant employed by the city to
examine the accountants of electrical
cation for an order to compel the COM
pany to open its books wal be filed iii
the federal court in Des Moines The
accountant, who Is now working on the
gas accounts Of the company at the
Cedar Rapids headquarters, has adj
vised the city that John A. Reed, rep
resenting the company, had refused
him access to the electrical accounts.
Mr.. Reed had given instructions to
the office force. the accountant re-
ported to give him all the information
desired and to turn all accounts and
books of the gas business over TO HIM.
Refusal to allow examination of the
electrical accounts, so the accountant
reported was because the question or
electrical rates was not involved in the
controversy, and mat the city council
had gone ahead and fixed the electrl-
cal rate without eXamir alton OF the
books
The application to pc filed for the
city will set out that the audit Of the
electrical books is a necessary part OF
the whole audit that the electrical and
gas business N conducted locally by
same office force. and the businesses
are so correlated that it is essential to
know the receipts Of the electrical
business. It is to be further alleged
that the city has the right TO examine
the electrical books TO determine what
The company is earning. 1t is very
probable that the company viii Nis0r-
ously oppose the effort in court to
compel 1t to open its electrical books
The attorneys representing the city
and the public utilities have not yet
agreed on master in Chancery TO take
The testimony, and for this reason the
formal order enjoining the city from
enforcing its ordinance has not yet
been presented TO Judge Wade IN the
federal court for signature.
