 Lpt us consider the deleCtable and wholesome prune for few nor entS. 'The Standard dictionary says that tue ''prune is the dried fruit ol the plum" and it is raised mostly in Flu rope and Southern California. "lt is especially prized," says the diction- ury, "as being nutritious and de- muIcent laxative" When a man is conva scng from an illness one or the things that the doctor tells him 70 eat freely is prunes. They not only are food to the taste. but they have great food values and are easy to di- gest. and they hefp to digest other food. Athletes in training always are. made to eat prunes twice a day, ana college teams buy them by the bushei.
 From Banning, Cal, comes !ha glad tidipgs that there will be a bumper crop of prunes this season.. The fruit has been drying in pans for some time under the sun of Caifcr-- nia. and is reported to be in gool condition and having dried perfectly Prune growers make money oui aot their crops. They already have rt'- ceiVed first payment of cents pound for their goods. and when they finally are disposed of they will re~ ceive an additional three cents for, eacn pound.
 Southern California fruit growers are proud of their products Prunt growers, anG owners or orange groves in the Golden State would not dream of putting an inferior article on the market. They. .could not, II they would either. Everything lha@ IS prepared for sale whether fresh or dried fuit, is inspected ri2idIN by agents Of the fruit associations, ana if it does not come Up 10 the stand ard it is rejected. Prunes are care fully cleaned and kept free from dust and insects. The time was when he prune was a joke with those who made tests about boarding-house Now, however, prunes are staple food good for everyone one.

AN .NI\T1ON DEP \ltTNE\I.

l The Senate, roIumtlrr considering ! the proposal of esta blishinG q sepa rate i air service under tn" direction ot 1 chici. to be u mrmher of the Presi- i dents Cabinet. has faNorably reported i inc bill against the adNiccS of Sccrt.- 1 tarv of War Baker and Secretary of ! the Navy Daniels. The opposition i was based upon the assertion that d separate air service would tend to
 hamper the machinery of the War
 and Navy departments and that the
 cost. of nlaintenance would add mate
 riallN to the already heavily burdene,l
 expense account submitted for next
 year.
 While it is known tine two Cabiner
 members s;,v" long and serious
 thought to the proposed plan of ;i
 separate air force. and opposed the
 measure upon expert advice. it is be-
 licVed the Senate Military tommit1ec
 has done an excellent thing in favo.-
 ably reporting the bill. And it is
 hoped the committees action will Dc
 followed by passage of the measure
 and an esta blshment within the near
 future of a separate air service
 In the beginning of the war Eng
 land maintained an air force under
 direction of tic Ministry of War. t
 remained so for short time only.
 however, before the air service was
 made a separate departm menl. And
 during the r"m3inder of the war lLng-
 lands air service proved the success o1 the system in action more elo- uunnt1y han could the most convinr- ing arguments of word or pen. Since the signing of the armistice England has steadily gone ahead, adding to her gained supremacy of the air by changing a wartime orga nization 70 meet the problems and promises of ! peace time development.
