The price to the ultimate consumer has trebled. At the plantation the cost cf banan­ as has ordinarily been about one cent for five. The banana hitherto has been the poor man’s fruit. And why noi!? It is more easily and cheaply raised than any other crop. An acre of land plant­ ed with bananas will produce forty- four times as much food as an acre of potatoes. It will produce 133 times as much food as an acre of wheat. Bananas are grown on a vast scale in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, where the plantations (called “banks”) ex­ tend for mile after mile along the rivers. They require no fertilizer and no cultivation beyond what is neces­ sary to keep down the luxuriant weeds. Leaves Are Ten Feet Long. •The planting is done with root-cut­ tings, set out eighteen feet apart. A banana “tree/ attains a height of twenty to twenty-five feet, with leaves ten feet long. It bears only one bunch of fruit, and when the latter has reached the proper stage the plant is chopped down with a machete. Pre­ sently, however, it sprouts from the roots, and soon is ready to produce another bunch. When a steamship arrives at a ba­ nana port, orders are sent up the rivers by tug or other means demand­ ing of each planter so many hundred bunches, to be ready for delivery on a certain day. Boats are sent to col­ lect them, or more often trains of slatted boxcars. Bananas starting to market must not be even approaching ripeness, and there is unavoidably a huge wastage. Bunches of thousands are often seen floating down the rivers rejected as worthless because too nearly ripe. Efforts are being made to devise methods for utilizing the waste—• such, for instance, as collecting in quantities the bananas unavailable for export, reducing their pulp to masses of uniform consistency, rolling it into sheets, cutting it into squares or disks of suitable size, drying the material by the ton in evaporating ovens and packing it in sealed cans or insect-proof paper boxes. Banana Flour is Wholesome. This sort of work might be done on large flatboats towad along the rivers, so as to collect tka bananas at the most desirable stage of ripeness. It would yield immense q. atities of ex­ cellent food, and transportation cost would be reduced to a minimum, in­ asmuch as the peels would be thrown away and three-fourths of the weight of the pulp got' rid of by the evapora­ tion of its water content. Already the manufacture of banana flour is a growing industry, the peeled fruit being sliced, dried in the sun or in ovens, ground and sifted. It is a sort of farina, white and sweet, with a smell like new-mown hay; very palatable, easily digested and whole­ some. Fresh banana pulp yields 20 per cent, of its weight in dry farina, and one acre of land will furnish ten tons of it s every year. Which fact will serve to illustrate the gigantic food­ producing capabilities of a banana plantation. ------------*----------- PEACE STAMPS ISSUED. Japan, Switzerland and Portugal Pre­ sent Varied Postal Emblems. The first of what promises to be a vast array of special postage stamps commemorative of the world’s peace have arrived from Switzerland and Japan respectively, says a London despatch. Their allegorical designs are in striking contrast to the war­ like stamp issue of the last five years. The Swiss ten-cent variety shows a symbolical figure of peace extending the olive branch over the world, and Is the work of P. T. Robert, of St. Blaise. Another of this series portrays a dying gladiator seeing a vision of the • peace he has helped to win. Two sol­ diers shaking hands on a battlefield iorm the subject of the third design Kf this series. The three stamps, of the values 71/£c. olive, 10c. red and yellow, and 15c. purple and yellow, kre uniformly inscribed with the Word “Helvetia” and the date "1919/’ >nd are surface printed in large ob­ long format. ( Japanese peace stamps received all bear a representation of a dove in dif­ ferent settings, designed by the emi­ nent artists Saburosuki Okada and JSomei Yuka. There are four values, two for inland and two for foreign postage, viz., iy2 sen brown, 8 sen, green, 4 sen carmine, and 10 sen blue.

At least 500 shaves are obtain­ ed from 12 AutoStrop blades, and you often get more than that. Just a turn or two on the strop and your AutoStrop Razor is ready. After shaving, you press a little lever, put the blade under the tap, wipe it off, and it is ready for the next shave. There is no need to take the razor to pieces and assemble it again; simply leave the blade where it is from start to finish. This means time saved in the morning rush— and a razor blade that’s good for about six weeks’ clean, cool shaves.

Oh, it is hard to work for God, To rise-and take His part Upon this battlefield of earth, And not sometimes lose heart. He hides himself so wondrously, As though there were no God; He is least seen when all the powers Of ill are most abroad. Or He deserts us sat the hour The fight is all but lost; And seems to leave us to ourselves Just when we need Him most. Ill masters good; good seems to change To ill with greater ease; And, worst of all, the good with good Is at cross-purposes. Ah! God is other than we think; His ways are far above, Far beyond reason’s height, and reached Only by childish love. Workman of God! Oh, lose not heart, But learn what God is like; And in the darkest battlefield Thou shaft know where to strike. Thrice blest is he to whom is given The instinct that can tell That God is on the field when He Is most Invisible. Blest, too, is he who can divine Where real right doth lie, And dares to take the side that seems Wrong to man’s blindfold eye. For right is right, since God is God; And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin! —Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) —------------<g,----------------- You need not expect big-framed hogs from starved pigs.

He had been left behind by his retreating superiors to command the sacrifice machine gunners whose ill-fated task it was to stay the on- flooding tide of Allied troops. After the several machine gun nests he com­ manded had been destroyed the Ger­ man officer was caught in a comfort­ able dugout thirty-five feet under­ ground. He was reading maps when an officer and two men pounced in on him. The German was quickly routed and sent to the first examining post together with his maps and charts and photographs. During the usual questioning the German was asked what he thought of the great massing of allied troops northwest of Verdun and along the entire front. His answer was this: — “We Germans realize that our system of transportation by rail is far super­ ior to that of the French and British; our military railway facilities are un­ beatable. But where the Allies have the advantage is in having thousands of motor trucks to transport troops and supplies and the good roads to bear the traffic of this transportation.” Highways Saved the Day. Such a statement from an enemy lieutenant caused the officers who queried him to ponder. They hated to admit that anything a German said was right, but nevertheless they had to agree with him. Why the very division of which they were members had been transported from the Vosges trenches to northwest of Verdun al­ most wholly by automobile trucks which were able to make the long and heavy haul of troops because of the excellent French highways. Division after division of combat troops was massed during the week preceding September 26, when the attack that resulted in the fall of that section of the Hindenburg line was begun. Most of these troops were brought to the new front in motor trucks, which travelled in trains of from 100 to 150, mostly during the night and without headlights. Although the roads of Belgium are not as good as those of France, never­ theless the fact that they were at least passable made the movement of troops by auto trains a help to the Allies on the northern front. The highways of King Albert’s country are generally made of Belgian granite block, and consequently the wear and tear over the rough cobbles made auto truck traffic expensive and un­ pleasant, but the roads furnished about the only means for the trans­ portation of troops and supplies, as the railroads were not fit to be operated. Not only did the French highways and streets bear up under the terrific traffic of troop movement, but in the areas back of the firing line the Ser­ vice of Supplies worked day and night sending thousands of trucks on long journeys with food, ammunition and | clothing to the men at the front. The bituminous streets in Paris and its environs bore up with remarkable strength under the continuous flow of enormous motor lorries. These bitu­ minous streets were not repaired dur­ ing the war because of the lack of time, money and men, but despite their lack of attention they are still in good condition. A National Necessity. There seems to be one pertinent and striking conclusion to be drawn from the inestimable service furnish­ ed by good roads in France during the war. That is, what good roads did toward victory they can do also to­ ward the future growth and prosperity of Canada. Many writers have em­ phasized the value of Improved roads from a military viewpoint with the idea, probably, that the country would be more interested in the military phase of highway Improvement. These writers are correct in their claims and a great system of national highways would indeed add to the strategic strength of Canada. But would it not equally add to our strength com­ mercially? Surely it would. Year in and year out we hear the farmer wail that his fruit is rotting on the ground because of lack of transportation to get it. th the mar­ kets. The railroads are overloaded and consequently their greatest ally, the automobile truck, must needs al­ leviate the farmer’s troubles. Re­ peatedly one ' hears manufacturers complaining of poor shipping condi­ tions and their output is held in the factories for weeks because of rail­ road congestion1,. Often does one see various markets virtually reduced to inactivity because shipping facilities are insufficient. The one great remedy for these serious conditions at the present time is the extensive use of the automobile truck. But it is ob­ vious that motor trucks cannot render maximum or satisfactory service with­ out good roads. Canada has seen what fine highways have done for vic­ tory. The same beneficial results can be obtained commercially. Good roads are a national necessity. CODE IN NINE TONGUES. International Trade Expected to Be Encouraged by Cable System. International trade is expected to be encouraged by a new cable-message code system that makes possible de­ coding in nine different languages without translation. Several hundred linguists and commercial experts have been at work on the code book for the last three years. The languages are English, French, Spanish, Portu­ guese, Italian, German, Dutch, Japan­ ese, and Russian. Business firms em­ ploying this code book will find it an easy task to decipher a message into any of these languages. CHOLERAJFANTUM Cholera infantum is one of the fatal ailments of childhood. It is a trouble that comes on suddenly, especially during the summer months, and unless prompt action is taken little one may soon be beyond aid. Baby’s Own Tab­ lets are an ideal medicine in warding off this trouble. They regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus prevent all the dreaded summer complaints. They are an absolutely safe medicine, being guaranteed by a government analyst to contain no opiates or narcotics or other harmful drugs. They cannot possibly do harm —they always do good. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.-------—<♦-------- WATER TREES OF SOUDAN. Dwellers of Hot Clime Find Good Sup­ ply by Tapping Bark. How the natives of the Kordofan and Nuba mountains, of the Soudan, store their water supply in the re­ markable Tebeldi, Baobab or Adan- sonia digita trees, is explained by a writer in the Wide World Magazine. The trunks of these trees, which attain huge proportions, sometimes being 18 feet in diameter for a dis­ tance of over 20 feet, where the branches begin, are hollow. A hole is cut in the tree near the top of the straight trunk, • and a native hollows out the interior, until a mere shell a few inches thick remains. Then a basin is formed in the earth near its base, which fills during the rainy sea­ son. This water is stored in the trunk of the tree, and remains sweet for long periods. Even after two years only a slight discoloration was noted in the water. Natives sell water from these store­ houses to travellers. Tenants rent the trees with their lands and store the family water supply in them. No­ body knows how old the trees are, al­ though they are reputed to be many centuries old. From the bark of the trees the na­ tives make rope for binding camel loads, building homes, etc. The tree yields nuts of a bitter taste, not un­ like almonds, which are ground into a flour. The nut shells are used as snuff boxes.---------*--------- Origin of the “Loving Cup.” The origin of the “loving cup” is traceable to Henry IV. of France. While hunting he strayed from his companions and, feeling thirsty, called at a wayside inn for a cup of wine. The serving maid, on handing it to him as he sat on horseback, neglected to present the handle. Some wine was s-pilled and the Kink’s white gauntlets were soiled. As he was rid­ ing home the thought came to him that a two-handled cup would prevent a recurrence of this accident, so. he had a two-handled cup made at the royal potteries and sent it to the inn. On his next visit he called again for wine, when to his astonishment the maid, having received instructions from her mistress to be very careful of the King’s cup, presented it to him by holding it herself by each of its handles. At once the idea struck the King that a cup with three handles was the thing needed. The idea was promptly acted upon, for, as his "Ma­ jesty quaintly said: “Surely out of three handles I shall be able to get one!” Just Full of i ruth. “I hope your lttle boy never tells a lie.” “I don’t know. I do know that at times he tells a lot of embarrassing truths.” WHY BEAUTY FADES A Condition Due Entirely to Poor, Watery Blood. The girl who returns home from school or from work thoroughly tired out will be fortunate if she escapes a physical breakdown, because this get­ ting tired so easily is probably the first warning symptom of a thinning blood that must not be disregarded if her health is to be preserved. When the blood becomes thin and impure the patient becomes thin, pale, haggard and angular. She not only tires out easily but suffers from head­ aches, palpitation of the heart, dizzy spells and a loss of appetite. This condition will go from bad to worse, until perhaps fatal consumption sets in, if prompt steps are not taken to increase and enrich the blood supply. To make the rich, red blood that brings the glow of health, no medicine yet discovered can equal Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. If given a fair trial their use brings rosy cheeks, bright eyes, a good appetite and good spirits. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have made thou- 'sands of pale, languid girls active and strong. On the first sign of poor, thin blood mothers should insist upon their daughters taking a fair course of these pills. They will not only restore health, but will save further doctor bills. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills can be ob­ tained from any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams’ Medt cine Co., Brockville, Ont. Somewhere in France.

Belleisle Station, Kings Co., N.B. Sept. 17, 1904. Advice About Babies. From a number of essays by school children a Red Cross visiting nurse has gleaned some strange admoni­ tions on the care of the baby. Some of them are as follows: Don’t let the baby suck its thumb, for there might be a fly on it and it would get the disease of the fly. Don’t rock the baby, as it will toss its brains. If a baby gets beer every day, it won’t grovt very large, and it won’t be good in school. Rocking is not good for it; for it makes them sick and stiff. Bad habits are easily made by the mothers, and the babies get wise to it. If you give the baby alcohol, it will lose one half pound every year and will become drunk when it is old. - Never lift it up by the arms, be­ cause it will place them out of place. Never, never, never pick up the baby by the arms whatever. The public owes the baby as fol­ lows: Pure air and sunshine; pure, cool, fresh, free-flowing air at night; it own private, sufficient covering of fluffy, porous materials and the chance to become a perfect man, or woman.---------o -------. PAINT FOR PRESERVATION. Property waste due to deterioration and decay in Canada constitutes a problem of paramount and far reach­ ing importance. Continuation of the present tre­ mendous loss vitally affects the econo­ mic future of the country. If with the cessation of war, we are to enter successfully upon a period of recon­ struction and expansion it is impera­ tive that conservation go hand in hand with development. It is as necessary to conserve created wealth as it is to prevent waste of national resources. Nature in time may restore devastated forest areas but it takes human labor to raise anew or repair property that has decayed from lack of protective paint. This work absorbs energies that would otherwise be devoted to industrial and economic progress. Paint for preservation is absolutely essential to the Conservation of Prop­ erty.

What girl or woman hasn’t heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to whiten the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way: Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and h?mds it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify the skin. Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons. YES! MAGICALLY! CORNS LIFT OUT WITH FINGERS You simply say to the drug store man, “Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezone.” This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from one’s feet. A few drops of this new ether com­ pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should relieve the sore­ ness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all, dries up and can be lifted out with the fingers. This new way to rid one’s feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that, while freezone is sticky, it dries in a moment, and sim­ ply shrivels up the corn without in­ flaming or- even irritating the sur­ rounding tissue or skin. Don’t let father die of infection or lockjaw from whittling at'his corns, but clip this out and make him try iL HELP WANTED.
