The Nutritional Value
 of Bananas Discussed
This Fruit Has Received Exhaustive Research Work to
 Determine Value

On the average, half or more of the family Income is spent for food. To the wage-earner food is the larg- est single item in the family bud- get. The leading economic question before the people is the purchase of staple foods at moderate cost" says an editorial in the American Medical Journal. The answer to this problem lies in a knowledge of food constituents, the purpose they serve, the amount required, and their cost.
 The chief requirement of the hu- man mechanism is fuel for the gen. erati0n of heat and energy. This is the chief requirement of all power plants. In general terms it may be stated that a healthy man weighing 160 pounds require a food intake of approximately 5000 calories day if engaged in ordinary work in a temperate climate. A calorie is mere- " the amount of heat used up in raising the temperature of a pint of water four degrees Fahrenheit.
 The chief elements in the produc- fion of energy and heat are car/o- hydrates and fats. The former are found in starch and sugars which are or either animal or vegetable origin. There are no carbohydrates in ani- snial foods except the sugar in milk. Without the development of grains, cheap roots, and tubers as the dom 1nant elements of the human diet, the present population of the world could never have existed. These foods must form a great bulk of the total human bill of fare.
 Energy
 Among the foods whose nutri- tional value has received exhaustive research is the banana. Most fruits are regarded as important because of the more or less intangible "acces- sory food substances" in which they are believed to be especially rich.
 But 1t is well to bear in mind in the case of the banana" according to Doctors Myers and Rose in their studies of the fruit in the labora- tories of pathological chemistry at the New York Post-Graduate Med- ical School and Hospital, that it's caloric value is very high, in fact higher than that readily obtained at any time of the year, and at a cost per calorie about half that of other fruits. The banana has been called the poor mans fruit and the facts would appear to justify this appella- tion.''
 In numerous analyses of the edible portions of the ripe banana by emil nent authorities this summary of its constituents is presented. The pulp contains about 75 per cent water: about P per cent of sugars, of which dexfrose, fructose and levulose form 8 major part in easily assimilable form. It's starch content is about Ia per cent, while in protein it car ries 1.3 per cent, and in fat the low ratio of 0.6 per cent. The percentage or mineral elements is 0.8 per cent.

CANADA DENIES
JOKER IN LAW;
BEER MEN GRIN
Keep Working BusiIy While
Government Keeps Hands
Off, Is Report.

LONDON, Ont, June 24.-AI-
though government officials deny
that a loophcle had been found in
the liquor export ban, wine and beer
exporters along the north shore of
Lake Erie today we're reported to
be continuing their increased &C
tivity.
Exporters were not required to ex-
port from licensed warehouses or
export docks, as previously pre-
scribed by Canadian law, it was re-
ported, and purportedly were not
asked by the government to place
bond on shipments to guarantee de-
livery at the port for which the
cargoes were destined.
The loophole, according to local
exporters, was seen in the face that
the export ban forbids shipments OF
liquors to any country forbidding
the importation of it.
Liquors" exporters claimed, mean
hard liquors" and do not include
restrictions on wines and beers.
The government does not require
exporters to name the destination
of the cargoes of wine and beer
now, it Is said, but merely asks them
to fill out form saying it is for
expectation.
Canadian police, when stopping
cargoes en- route to the border. re-
y,orfed1xy did not question the deSti-
nation, but merely saw that the
amount Of beer and wine carried on
the truck tailed with the amount
listed on the form sheet.
Rumors that an official agreement
had been reached between export
erS and officials in the Canadian
government were current here, but
were denied by officials who an
nounced there had been no change
in the governments attitude toward
the expectation Of wines and beer.

UTILITIES Get
Mr.. THERM TO
ASSURE PROFITS
Stands Guard to See That
Consumers Get Least
in Benefits.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY

Hoosier utility rate payers, meet
Mr.. Therm
Such an introduction is appro-
pirate today, for If the threatened
influx Of natural gas lines into this
state materializes, Mr.. Therm is to
be a parsonage of considerable i'm
portance.
In fact, he already is in our midst
and prepared to perform valiant
service in protecting the new gas
line owners against any decreased
rates.
Therm slipped quietly into the
tariff division of the public service
commission under the sponsorship
OF Samuel Insults Northern Indiana
Public Service Company.
He Has a Purpose
Since no new rate increase may
be ordered without a hearing before
the commissioners, Therm has been
filed as an optional form Of gas
measurement and it is contended
that its use with the present arti-
fetal gas means fractional de-
crease to the rate payer.
But the purpose Of Therm is to
stand by until the new natural gas
becomes available and then get into
action.
o. R. Livingstone, chief Of the
tariff division, explains Therm as
follows:
A therm is a new unit of gas
measurement made up of 100000
British thermal units. zone B. T.
u. is the amount Of heat required to
raise one pound Of water one degree
Fahrenheit)
Under the common form of gas
measurement the unit used is Loco
cubic feet, which is equal to SIC
3. T. U.
Here's the Translation
To translate cubic foot measure
ment into Therms under the pre-
vailing commission standards:
1854 cubic feet equal one Thern.
Boiled down, the point is that
Mr.. Therm is standing guard for
the utilities to see that benefits, If
any, of change from artificial to
natural gas accrues to the COM
panies and not the consumers.
Should the old cubic-feet form of
measurement be retained, consum-
ers would benefit by any increased
richness in heat content in the
switch from artificial to natural
gas. ...... .......
It's More Mysterious
Changing forms of rate measure
ments to make it more mysterious
and usually more costly to the con-
sumner is an old device of utilities.
Some time ago the commission re-
ceived numerous complaints from
electro rate payers when the insult
interests sought to shift from the
common form of meterization to
what was called IAN active room
gate"
Livinghouse reports that COM
plants already have come to the
commission regarding Mr.. Therm,
but insists that under the present
setup Cusing artificial gas and COM
mission standards) ne is perfectly
harmless.
