RE you fond of bananas?
II IL so, and you can get
them, you are to be congratu.-
lated. 1t would seem, from ex-
periments recently conducted by
Eddy and kellogg at Columbia
University, that we can now say,
as we once said about apples,
that "a. banana day keeps the
doctor away.
OF course. we are familiar.
from the advertisements Of the
fruit wholesalers. with most OF
the virtues Of the banana. Here.
are some very interesting facts
about bananas that have not
heretofore been taken into con.
sideration. They are based upon
the experiments to which I have
just alluded. The fruit used in
the experiment was taken
straight from the ripening rooms
twice a week and was therefore
Of the highest quality.
It Is now news that ripe raw
bananas contain vitamin c.,
which protects against scurvy.
HI. B. Lewis demonstrated this
fact. He showed In 1878 that
one-third ounce Of the fresh ba
mana every day would keep
guinea-pig in health. But what
now becomes interesting Is the
demonstrated anti-scurvy value
Of cooked bananas.
Partly-ripe banas should never
be eaten raw. They, however,
are eaten baked BY d great NUM-
Der Of people. 1t ID obviously
important to know how much Of
the protection Is destroyed by
the baking Uncooked, the Inn
mature fruit Is slightly richer
Tn vitanain G than the ripe,
The important point Il whether
. the banana il cooked with its
skin or without. When it is
baked In the skin, the vitamin 6
Is kept intact, and onesixtll Or
an ounce daily was enough to
protect q guinea pig. If II ii
skinned before baking, it Is only
one.third as effective. The guinea
pig had to have half an ounce.
The reason for this Is, probably,
that the skin prevents the fruit
from becoming oxidized during
the heating process. The opera
ton Of commercial canning which
excludes oxygen allows much less
destruction Of vitamiri .C than
whore the same food Il heated III
open vessels. and tomatoes with
their oxygen removed lose only
10 to 20 per cent OF their vitanin

per cent If they are untreated.

Pastors Requested To Make APP
peal for Near East Relief.

An urgent request to the pastors OF
this community to make an appeal on
Thanksgiving for the $4,000 orphans
under care of the Near East Relief
and TO take collection for them and
for refugee mothers also under care
of the relief organization is made by
Harold F. Pelligrin, Potomac Division
Director, of the relief organization, in
a letter received by The Republican a
day or two ago.
Mr.. Pelligrin says: "This season Of
fers no greater opportunity to give
greater happiness than by giving gen.
erously on Thanksgiving Day for the
support of the orphan children in the
Bible lands and for refugee mothers in
the Near East. Lives barren, bleak
and devoid of the barest comforts may
be made happier by these donations. l
appeal to all pastors to make an ap-
peal for these children and mothers,
to take a special Thanksgiving offer
ing for them and to send the dona-
tions to the Potomac Division head
quarters, 1884 Connecticut Avenue, in

AUTOMOBILE is WRECKED
BY HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER
KingwoOd Party Skids Into Bank
on Northwestern Pike as Result

The three occupants of a Hudson
sedan, driven by Fred. Koch, King
wood, W. Va, were injured Saturday
evening when the car was sideswiped
and wrecked on the Northwestern
Turnpike, about seven miles south of
Oakland, near the Red House, in this
county.
Those injured were Mr.. Koch, who
received a severe cut on his forehead;
Bud Hayes, who suffered bad cut
on the top of his head, and Earl Bell,
who collapsed and had to be revived
by artificial respiration.
Mr.. Koch, who was enroute to Row.
lesburg from Oakland, whence he had
driven previously during the day, said
his car was sideswiped by another au-
tomobile, which did not stop and be-
cause of this mishap his car skidded
into a steep bank.
Following the accident, Messrs. Bell,
Koch and Hayes were picked up by a
passing automobile and taken to Row
lesburg, where DR.. H. M. Proudfoot
rendered medical and surgical aid. La
ter they were taken to their respective
homes in Kingwood, arriving there
early Sunday morning. The car is
said to be an almost total wreck.

mistice Day, Congressman Frederick
N. Zihlman of the Sixth district, spoke
on an appropriate subject in the
feature of the all-day entertainment
arranged by Proctor Kildow Post of
the American Legion.
Musical numbers were also rendered
by boys who had received ga" for

UNLAWFUL TO SHOOT DEER
AND TURKEYS IN GARRETT
Failure to Include PrOvisO Claus
es in Last Thursdays Article
Causes IndecisiOn

An addition of 1927 hunting licenses
has been made during the past week to
the number previously issued during
the period from November l, accord
ing to Court House officials, bringing
the total for the present season up to
more than 13OO-1327, to be exact.
This number compares favorably
with the number issued last year, and
will in all probability exceed that of
last year before the season ends, &C
cording to the information obtained
at the license clerks desk.
Correction Made.
Last Thursday, in giving the bag
limits for hunters, it was not men,
toned that this was for the entire
State and not especially for Garrett
county. There are several proviso
clauses in the game law pamphlet rel
ative to Garrett county and other
political divisions of the State, which
read as follows:
provided, however, it shall be I'M
lawful to hunt wild turkey in Garrett
county until November 10, $780," and
male deer may be killed only in Allie
gany county and in Washington coun-
ty on property enclosed with fence not
less than 7 feet in height, from De-
cember l to December Is, inclusive"
Failure on the part of The Repub-
lican to include the proviso clauses in
last Thursdays story of the hunting
licenses has caused several inquiries
to be made at The Republican office
from hunters anxious to take shot at
turkeys and deer. ..
Bag Limit.
The bag limit for Garrett county
for hunters, exclusive of the wild tur-
key and deer limits, is as follows:
Wild ducks, 25 per day; geese, 8 per
day; rabbit or hare, six; squirrels,
ten; English or Mongolian pheasant
and ruffed grouse, two, and not over
six per season.

FIFTH COMMUNITY SALE
WILL OCCUR DECEMBER 6
Oakland Merchants Arranging
for Another Sales Day-May
Have Two Specials to Offer

That the fifth community sale, in
(which practically every merchant in
town will participate, would be held on
Tuesday, December 6, was decided at
meeting of the managing committee
of the community sales of the Oakland
Commercial Club last Thursday ev-
ening. The sale will begin with the
opening of business on December 6
and continue throughout the day and
evening, as it has become the custom
for the merchants to keep their stores
open during the evening hours for the
benefit of those people who cannot
take advantage of the sales if the
stores close at the usual time of six
o'clock.
A page advertisement announcing
the sale will appear in The Republican
and The Mountain Democrat in the
issue of December 1. "Bil" Gibson,
solicitor, appointed by the committee,
has been calling upon the merchants
of town, and it is the desire of the
committee and solicitor to complete
their work as soon as possible.
Each merchant, according to the
rules governing this sale, is given
the privilege of advertising one or
two articles at special prices for the
sales day, and every merchant will
make preparation to have an album
dance of the advertised articles in
stock in order that they may have
sufficient for their trade.
Oakland's four other community
sales were considered successes, bring
ing a large crowd of shoppers into
town who returned to their homes
with bargains.

KITZMILLER, ELIGIBLE,
LOSES TO WESTERNPORT
Garrett County Champs Defeat
ed at FrOstburg Saturday.

Becoming eligible to compete in the
inter-county soccer clash, kitzmiller
High School hooters were defeated by
Westernport High School to l, after
the Garrett county boys had held the
lead at the close of the first half l to
0, at the Frostburg ball park, a neu-
trail field, Saturday afternoon. About
two hundred fans witnessed the con-
test.
Kitzmiller Leads Early.
Favored with a strong wind and a
brilliant running attack, Kitzmiller
played the Westernport eleven off its
feet in the opening half. Bruce High
played a ragged brand of soccer and
time and again it's goal line was
threatened by the speedy little for
wards of the opposition.
Frank Long, Kitzmiller forward,
booted a penalty kick to take the lead
l to 0.
Those playing for Kitzmiller were
Beals, Pritts, Burrell, Burns, Rider,
Strachan, Sapp, Long, Walker, j. Sui
Ivan, Malouse.
Several days before the game word
was received from w. S. Pitman, P. A..
L., field leader of Baltimore, to the
effect that Kitzmiller was ineligible to
play on account of having several
players over the 21-year age limit. The
same condition, in so far as one play
err is concerned, existed in the Oak
land lineup. This order on the part
of the league president was rescinded
when he wired Referee Fitzberger that
Kitzmiller was o. k. and that the game
should be played as per schedule.

PEOPLE NOT RESPONDING
TO RED CROSS ROLL CALL
Less Than Twenty-Five Have En-
rolled as Members in Annual
Drive of National Society

The drive for members of the Red
Cross in Garrett county, so far, has
been all but a failure, Mrs. E. z.
Tower, chairman, stated this morning,
less than twenty-five persons having
paid in their dollar at Hamill's Sta
tionery Store on Alder street, in Oak
land. AS the annual roll call ends
next Thursday it will be necessary for
many more to enlist if Oakland and
Garrett county's enviable record in
years past is to be maintained.
Hamill's store is the only place in
Garrett county where headquarters
have been established and where men,
bers may enroll, but it is not necessary
for one to appear there personally.
Those who cannot come to Oakland
may mail their dollar and their but
ton and receipt will be returned to
them by mail.
Two hundred and fftey members
in Garrett county are wanted.
