BANANA A GREAT
FOOD SOURCE IN
MANY COUNTRIES

(Opinion of DR.. W. Gilman Thomp
son, Eminent Authority on Die
tetics.)
In the West Indies, in the Islands
of the Pacific, along the Congo.
and throughout Central Africa many
natives eat bananas as their staple
article Of food and maintain good
physical development. The fact that
diet consisting solely of this
fruit will sustain life for long per-
iods is owing to the relatively high
percentage of nitrogen which it con-
tains compared with sage, arrow
rooa and small carbohydrates. This
percentage amounts to nearly five
parts per hundred on the entire
fruit or one-fifth of the total solids.
Grown on a given acreage, bananas
will support a larger number of per-
sons than wheat.
In British Guiana the banana is
employed especially as a nourishing
food for young children and in
valids
Surgeon ParlSe ("My Personal Ex-
periences in Equatorial Africa p.
416) in an instructive and interest
ing account of his experience with
the sick of the Emin Pasha Relief
Expedition refers to Stanley, who
was in the midst of a severe attack
of acute gastritis, as follows" He
eats porrdge, made with banana
flour and milk. 1t is very light and
digestible, and is of better flavor
than arrowroot. 1t is also very
nutritious. We whites have very
good reason to know this food now,
as we have mostly lived on banana
flour for the past two years."
During most of this period, it
should be observed, the members of
the expedition We're taking very
long marches, and were suffering
from frequent attacks of malarial
fever, which were a severe test of
the nutritive qualities of any dietry.

LICHTNIN, WILL ATTRACT GREAT
CROWD AT GRAND THIS EVENING

aand tells yarns which give him the
reputation of being the worst liar
in the county II the topic of con-
versation happens to be law, he has
been a lawyer; if farming, farmer;
if mining, a mining engineer; and
50 on until his vast imaginary eX-
perieace would appear to put to
shame the most sophisticated globe
trotter. But he deceives no one, his
yarns being entirely harmless, and
he is idoiized by his family and
loved by his friends because of his
gentleness and humanity.
The role of Lightnin', it can be
seen, is most picturesque and ap-
pealing one, reminiscent of the elder
Jefferson's Rip Van Wrinkle in it's
gentleness, and thoroughly and char
acteristically American in all it's
finer qualities.
The cast that John Golden will
send here with "Lightnin" will be
headed by Thomas Jefferson, whose
superb portrayal of Lightnin Bill
Jones was the outstanding feature
of the sensational Boston run; and
the other players are Mrs. Frank
Bacon, Bessie Bacon, Jack Marvin,
Felix Hanisy, Margt. Miller Ropt.
