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 a continuing supply of
energy which keeps one from be-
coming hungry again too soon
after a meal.
The edible portion of one aver
age-sized banana weighs about 312
ounces and provides 100 calories.
1t takes almost the same weight
of white potato to yield the same
number of calories.

Hard to Spend

If Pontius Plate had 1000, ,00o,-
600 coins of any denomination on
the morning of that tragic trial
about 1900 years ago, and also
the necessary longevity, he might
have started spending one coin per
minute, kept it up continuously,
day and night, and only relatively
recently tossed away his last coin.
Nineteen hundred years contain
approximately 693, 500 days. And
that many days contain 1854, 900
hours or 998, $4,000 minutes. So
if Plate had started flinging away
his monetary substance back
there on the morning of the IA
nous trial of Jesus, and could
have kept at it without Interrupt
ton, Plate would have been eli
gible to relief along about 1910

quently divided into two classes; !;
they are known as flavor fruits
when they contain 30 per cent or
more of water and as food fruits
when the water content is less

Ripe bananas are rich in carbo-

values with minimum of diges-
tive effort.
Bananas are always in season
and are usually most inexpensive.
1t 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
behydrate 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 fecks appear on
the yellow skins-the starch has
almost entirely disappeared and
the flavor has been developed to
its 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 a 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.

Ideol for the Elderly

If elderly individuals are to
maintain top health, fruits should
be given a prominent place in
their diet. But many fruits are
avoided by individuals past mid
die age, either because their acid
taste is displeasing or because
they present difficulties in masti-
cation. Ripe bananas, however,
practically melt in the mouth. Be
ing easily digested, they are a
fortunate choice for elderly per-
sons, providing necessary energy

Help Children Guin Weight

I1C4R Sllh0lS Gil 0oIll w SASlAt
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 its 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 a solid food, it can,
if desired, be mashed and whipped
into liquid form and combined
with milk to make a healthful and
nourishing beverage.
