Los Angeles, treated for a
cut throat in MeXicali three hours
after he supposedly was injured in
a traffic accident near Heber

the driver of a car Wilson said was

Mexicali officers telephoned CAL

that advertising derived in this

resulting color scheme that he con-
tinued the brush strokes. When
the ducks waddled off, they were

thing of the ridiculous this item
might contain ends here. The
ducks died in a few hours, victims

he didn't realize what the result
would be.

Most Versatile Fruit

Bananas are always in season
and are usually most inexpensive.
It is desirable, of course, that only
fully ripened bananas be eaten
raw. That is because their con-
stituents vary with the degree Of
ripeness.
Bananas are picked when they
are green and hard, and the car
bohydrate content is almost en-
tirely starch. AS they ripen, the
starch is converted into easily di-
gested sugars.
In fully ripened bananas-those
in which brown flecks appear on
the yellow skins-the starch has
almost entirely disappeared and
the flavor has been developed to
it's highest point. The all-yellow
banana is also ripe enough for
eating and it is likewise firm
enough for cooking. Partially ripe
bananas-those which are yellow
with a green tip-may be cooked
and served as vegetable or as
dessert.
Considering their availability,
ease of digestion, high food value
and economy, bananas deserve to
be classed as one of the staple
foods in every well planned
dietary.

Help Children Coin Weight

Help Children Coin Weight
Because Of their high caloric
value, plus their content of min
erals and vitamins, bananas may
well be used regularly throughout
childhood.
Bananas and milk make an ex-
cellent food combination because
the milk supplements the fruit
with protein, fat, minerals and
vitamins. This combination is
often used as a supplementary
lunch for underweight children,
and carefully conducted studies
have indicated it's usefulness in
helping youngsters to gain weight.
Almost all children like the taste
of bananas and they do not seem
to tire of this bland and pleasing
fruit. And though the banana is
regarded as solid food, it can,
if desired, be mashed and whipped
into liquid form and combined
with milk to make healthful and
nourishing beverage.

Double Fuel Vulue

When fully ripened, this fruit
provides quick energy because a
certain amount of it's sugars are
almost Immediately absorbed by
the body. On the other hand, sew
eral hours must elapse before the
remaining sugars are completely
assimilated. Thus, eating bananas
provides a continuous supply of
energy for a considerable period.
They not only help to promote
rapid recovery from fatigue but
also furnish continuing supply of
energy which keeps one from be-
coming hungry again too soon
after a meal.
The edible portion of one aver

ounces and provides 100 calories.
It takes almost the same weight
