Bunches of thousands are often seen floating dow•m tho rivers rejected as worthless because too nearly ripe. Efforts are being made to devise methods fur utilizing the waste— such, for instance, as collecting in quantities the bananas unavailable for export, reducing their pulp to nnassee of uniform consistency, rolling it into sheets, cutting it i1nt0 squares or disks of suitable size, drying the material by the ton in evaporating ovens and packing it in scaled cans or insect -proof paper boxes, Banana Flour Is Wholesome.

Fresh banana pulp yields 20 per cent. of its weight in dry farina, and one acre of land 1'111 furnish ten tons of it 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 Postel 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 reepectively, says a London despatch. Their allegorical designs are in striking contra�st to the war- like stamp issue of thii 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.

TRUCKS AND EXCELLENT HIGHWAYS WERE BIG FACTOR. What Good Roads Old Toward Vic- tory They Can Also Po Toward Future Prosperity of Canada. An erect, clean shaven and intelli- gent German lieutenant was captured in the vicinity of Montafatcon on September 25 of last year, two days after the great Meuse -Argonne offen- eive began. Ito bad been left behind by his retreating superiors to Command the sacrifice machine gunners whose 111 -fated task it was to stay the on - flooding tide or Allied troops. After the several machine gun nests he COM. mended had been destroyed the Gor- man officer was caught Ina comfort- able dugout thirty-five feet under- ground, He was reading maps when an officer and two men pounced in on slim, 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 011111ary railway facilities aro 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 boar the traffic of this transportation." Highways Saved the Day. Such a statement from an enemy lieutenant caused the officers who queried slim to ponder. They hated to admit that anything a German said was right, but nevertheless they llad 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 tit to be operated. Not only did the French highways and streets bear up under the terrific traffic of troop movement, but hl the areas back of the firing line the See - vice of Supplies worked day and night sending thousands of trucks on long journeys with food, ammunition and clothing to the hien at the front, The bituminous streets in Paris and its environs bore up with remarkable strength looser the continuous flow of enormous motor lorries, These bitu- minous streets were not repaired dur- When the strenuous labors of the harvest period are ever, the haying and harvesting equipment should be promptly housed, The neglect of farm machinery was always costly, but it is doubly so under present conditions. There is nothing extraordinary in a horse gnawing the woodwork of its stable, The best means of stop- ping this ie to protect the woodwork with hoop iron or saturating it with some unpleasant substance, stance p , such as creosote or gas tar. A piece of rock salt should be kept in the manger, 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 he drawn from the inestimable service furnish- ed by good roads in France during the war. That 1s, what good roads did toward •victory they can do also to- ward the future growtiy.-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 bo more interested in the military phase of highway improvement, These writers are correct in their claims and a great system of national highways 8 11 The Sw v .i� of Drape Nuts is due to the combination of wheat and malted barley, de= veioped by twenty” hours baking.

Year in 1100 yeas nut we hear the farther wail that his fruit is rotting on the ground bemuse of lack of transportation to get it to the mar- kets, The railroads aro overloaded and Consequently 111eh' greatest ally, the automobile truck, trust needs al- leviate the fa1'mei's troubles. Re- peatedly one hears manufacturers complaining of poor shipping cowl 1 - tions and their output 1s held In the factories for weeks because of rail- road congestion. Often does one see various markets virtually reduced to inactivity Decease 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 00110 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 posolble de- coding in nine different languages without translation. Several hundred linguists and commercial experts havo 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, a T` �5' CHOLERA iN A TUM Cholera infantun2 is one of the fatal ailments of childhood, It is a trouble that conies on suddenly, especially during the sunsmer months, and unless prompt action is taken little one may soon be beyond aid.

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 Aden - sante digits trees, is explained by a writer in the Wide World Magazine, Tho 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 bashi 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 - beans 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, Front the bark of the trues 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 aro ground into a flour. The nut shells aro used as snuff boxes. Origin of the "Loving Cup." The origin of the "loving oup" is traceable to Henry P✓. of France. While hunting 0he strayed from leis companions and, feeling thirsty, called at a wayside inn for a cup of wine. The serving maid, on handing it to him as ho sat on horseback, neglected to present tale handle, Some 'wine was spilled and the (link's white gauntlets were soiled. As he was rid- ing home the thought cane 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 mistresseto be very careful of the King's cup, presented It to him by holding it herself b3' 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 !" i Just Full of Truth.

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 (night be a fly on it and it would get the disease of the fry. Don't rock the baby, as it will toss its brains, IE a Peb3' gets beer every day, it won't grow 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 tine mothers, and the babies get wisp to it. If you give the baby alcohol, It will loco one half pound every year and will become drunk when it is old. Never lift It up by the arms, be- cause ecause it will plane them out of piece. 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, ® - PAINT FOR PRESERVATION.

Be sure to etroin the lemon juice SO no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain mire and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify eautif the skin.
