PHILLIPS to start out the day with a cool, refreshing fruit. Oranges, grapefruit, melons or berries, depending on the time of year, take first choice with most of us. But we could well afford, considering their virtues as a food, to vary tha monotony with bananas.

First, because bananaa and milk together are an almost completely bal-aii'fd ration. Children who caii persuaded to drink milk alone wlih the greatest difficulty have been found to take It willingly when served with bannnaa. Completely Digestible The banana Is thoroughly and completely digestible. It used to be said that they were not digestible, butt this was only when they were eaten before they were ripe. They have, when matured, a good quantity of natural fruit stigai, vitamins and minerals.

They have an especial appeal to old people. As time goes on you will find that you begin to like hetter and bettPr foods that do not require tha use of tcpfh. Bananas ned Ilftla chewing, and their nutritious and easily unliable nutritional qualities make them suitable for the old as well ns the young, Like most fruits, bananas are pui up by nnture In a form-proof pack' age. They carry their own cellophane. 1 Unlike apples, peaches and pears, this covering is not easily broken.

Tha discoloratlons which so quickly form on the banana after It is sliced are not due to bacterial action or decay, but are a chemical chance and can be prevented from forming bv cutting the bananas Tlirectly into a solution of cream of tartar, corn syrup and water. Formula Given The formula for the solution is on and one-half teaspoons cream of tartar and three cups of tap stir thoroughly, let settle and pour oit tho clear solution, discarding the sediment. To the clear solution add twn. thirds cup of corn syrup (white) and three cups more ot cold tap water. Slice the bananas directly into this and remove them Immediately with a perforated spoon.

They will then keep two hours without discoloration. The heavy skin of the banana al lows those changes which occur all fruits In the course of ripening to go on at a particularly advantageous pace. These changes are the formation of vegetable sugars. When bananas are green topped they should be cooked, and then are really like a vegetable. For eating raw.

they should be yellow, flecked with brown spots. The best way to buy bananas is in the cluster In the green-lipped stage, and allow to ripen at home at rooiij temperature. By PAUL MALLON MK.

AIM PTXTION WASHINGTON, Auf. 13, That de- I lyod announcement of U. S. neutrality toward Spain was never Intended to become the undnmentnl HONORED IN THE BREACH Sometime ago The Citizen ventured editorially to direct the attention of the city authorities to Sections 075 and 67(1 of the City Code. 'The only response to this editorial In official circles was the gentle observation that these ordinances were permissive rather than mandatory.

According to this reasoning, the ordinances conferred certain powers upon the city authorities without imposing any duty on their part to exercise these powers. This Interpretation will not stand. It flies too much In the teeth of the unmistakable Intent of plain language. Section 675 states that It "shall be unlawful" for any person owning or harboring a dog to permit the animal to run at large, unless It be leashed or muzzled, during the period between May 1 and October 1 of any year. Section 676 provides that any dog found running at large In violation of Section 675 "shall be Immediately seized." These ordinances are not being rigorously enforced.

Just why they are not being enforced is a question which the proper officials might do well to answer. If the ordinances are wise, they should be enforced. If they are unwise in their provisions, then' they should be rescinded. 'As' It Is, they adorn the stntute books and are generally -disobeyed. The net effect Is to bring upon the responsible officials the Inescapable reproach of official slothfulness.
