Vien vo bd Shd SODE ABLE ALL SL 2 A ann TER TVVIVOeOONY Value of Banana as Food Tested by Two Experts, Who Speak Well of Fruif DO OG BEARS EASA aa TY EVVVPVIReeoeoetddd HE digestibility of bananas has been the subject of more disgute than any oth- er question in dietetics, Many physicians Have declared them unwholesome for children. Is this true? Undeniably they dis- #gree with children, and even with grown folks, sometimes; Why? A thorough investigation of the matter has recently been made by {wo recognized experts, Drs. M. C. Pease and A. R. Rose, who extended a series 'of experiments 'to' infants and invalids, 3 Results showed that bahanas are perfectly. digestible even by weak Stomachs, and & most healthful food, if only they are fully ripe. 1f not really ripe, they are more or less H- able to disagree with anybody. Bananas of a rich yellow color are usually considered ripe, but they are not. It is not until they show brown Spots on the skin (not to be confused with bruise métks) that they acquire full flavor and are ready for eating. Little Johnny acquires alarge yel- low banana, and, divesting it of its peel, proceeds to devour it with reck- less haste, swallowing it in chunks. That is not the way 10 Seat a banana, Anyway, he has a pain Presently in his small stomach, and his mother decides that the fruit is not good for him, \ If the same banana had been fed to Johnny two or three days later, when properly ripened, he would have suffered no ill effects: Indeed, his health would prosper on a diet (for a while) of nothing but milk and bananas of full ripeness, the lat- ter taking the place of bread. Doctors Pease and Rose kept sev- eral adults going for a week on ba- nanas and milk, with perfect diges- tion and unimpaired efficiency. For, be it observed, bananas contain 22 per cent. of starch and sugar, and are therefore highly nfitritious, Like other fruits, too, they are rich in the mysterious 'vitamin? that is such an encourager of health. Of course, one could not lve on bananas alone for any length of time, inasmuch as they contain very little of the stuff that' makes muscle and blood." The "banana stomach," often seen in tropical countries, is a dis- tention due to too many bananas and too little else, The moral of the story is that bananas, if ripe, are easily digestible and good for anybody. In the yel- low stage they are all right if baked. Freshly detached from the stalk, they are uncontaminated by dirt and germs, even if bought from a push- cart on the street--so well are they Protected by their skins.

Service has alwa$s been nppermost in. the minds of Students and ex- students of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. When the Graat War came over seven hundred of the best of these men answered the call of their country and Joined the arm- ies of the allies'in humanity's fight to the finish against the Kornible Hun and the unspeakable Turk. These men risked all that the ideals which they held more dear should not per- ish. They were wiling to lay down their lives for their friends, and of the number who crossed to the blood- soaked fields of France and Flanders, whe fought in Mesopotamia, in Africa, on the eastern front, cr aboard his Majesty's ships on the high seas and in the air forces one hundred, one in seven, are numbered in the lists of the "unreturning brave.' They were in the thick of the fight. They acquitted themselves like men. They fought, They died. They won. They did their bit and their best to ensure permanent free dom for all, The greatest effort of the man at home, who served his country by increased production and by giving of his time and his monay to the cause, paled into insignificance beside the sacrifiee of those who risk« ed their all and' gladly gave their lives. Theirdeedsliveafterthem. They have given vastly more for the cause of humanity than all other O. A. C. men combined. Their memory must be perpetuated. Students, ex-stiu- dents, staff and friends of the On- tario Agricultural College and Mac- donald Hall realize that they can never pay the debt they owe those who fought and died for them, but they see their duty clearly and will deem it a: privilege to give till it hurts, that an appropriate memorial ba erected to commemorate thé lives and the deeds of the best of their brothers who stood between them and the Hun and cracked the "Kul- tur" of the Kaiser and his war lords. It has been decided fo build a Memorial Hall ow"'the College cam- Pus and every student and ex-student of the college, and of Macdonald Hall, together with all those who have taken any of the short courses at the institution and all friends of the college are asked to subscribe to te fund for the eréction of (his ornamental, yet useful, monument to the memory of our noble dead. A committee has alréady been form- ed with Dr.. Creelman, president of the college, as chairman and (reas- urer, and Prof. D. H. Jones as secre- tary, The purpose is to erect an As- sembly Hall to seat at least 800, the architecture of the eut-stone building to be modified Gothic in design with tower and chimes, the interior to be fitted, with a large stage, pipe-organ and everything which goes to com- Dlete a modern Assembly Hall. } The men who lie befieath {he poppies in Flanders fields were big men. They accomplished a big task. They lost their lives that. others might be saved. The saved must do their biggest and best in hémor to our glorious dead.
