(The New York Breung Wott), BANANAS FOR THE THIN. “ NYBODY who will take the trouble to eat the right things can A be plump instead of thin,” sald the Commuters Wife decisively. “I put ten pounds on my niece, who stayed with us for six weeks last year, by making her eat! bananas." “r ‘Wonder you didn't kill her,” said the Club ‘oman. “Just a small piece of banana makes me feel as if T had an elephant sitting on my cheat “That's because you don't know how to eat them. The banana is twenty-five times more nutritious than good white bread. Its pulp contains sugar, cellulose, nitrogenous matter and fat with phosphoric ele- ments. It is said that the only thing that kept Staniey alive during a se- vere attack of gastric fever which he suffered on one of his African ex- plorations was a gruel made from dried bananas. If we could get bananas that bad ripened on the plant, se that the sun of the tropics had beea given time to convert their more or lease indigestible starchy substance into sugar, they would agree with most delicate stomachs. But in order to atand shipment to this country they have to be picked green and ripened artificially when they get here.” “What are you going to do about it?” sniffed the Club Woman. “You can't have a banana tree in your front yard.” “They don't grow on trees, although the plant is sometimes ten er fif- teen fect high, But it dies down as econ as the fruit is matured. However, that haa nothing to do with the very nutritious and fattening properties of the banana. If you think you would look and fenl better with a little more flesh on your bones, eat a baked banana three times a day. “A raw banana is almost as good for the purpose, but some people can't . | digest it. It is almost ne trouble to bake a banana. You simply peel down a strip of the skin and squeeze a little lemon juice on the pulp, put the skin back in ite place, put the whole banana on a baking dish and bake unti) the ‘the consistency of @ baked custard, This takes from twenty if you haven't a lemon handy you can use a drop much better, as it gives sest to the Mother Monologues By Alma Woodward Copyright, 1014, by The Tres Publishing Oo, (The Now York Brening World).

And one of the chief events that gave him the title of “Great” was a war WhiR No. 54—A Woman's “Crying Fit” That Led to Russia’s Tartar War. a VAN THE GREAT was ruler of Russia, He was one of the most arrant cowards in history. Though he was surnamed “the Great,” ‘was brought on by his wife's tears. . ane Russia for more than two centuries had been ¢errorized by the Tartare, The Tartars were a horde of tics who had forced their way tate Resale’ im 1838, beating the Russians in battle and establishing {n the southeastern’ “The Empire of the Golden Horde.” The Khan (ruler) of the Tartars al-* e4ged him es their master and paid heavy tribute to him. Ivan III. was crafty enough te win a good deal of power among the neighboring states without striking a blow. Then he married Zoe, ‘heiress of the Byzantine Empire. (The double headed eagle, emblem of the Bysan- tines, has ever since been blasoned on Russia's fing). t Zoe was as brave as her husband was cowardly. She upbraided him for submitting to Tartar bullying and complained that ahe “might readily have wedded a king of western Europe, but had chosen ‘A Her ned him supposing him to be mighty and independent.” At Heekend length, so runs the story, she burst into @ fit of uncons a trollable weeping and refused to cease until the ‘fign+ pecked Ivan, in despair, decided it would be face a raging Tartar than a crying wife. And he agreed to break Neer Tartar yoke. s% When next the Tartar envoys came to demand the yearly tribute Iva herotcally tore the Khan's written demand into shreds and stamped on it. All Russia was crasy with martial enthusiasm at this act. ‘The nation hastened to arms. Ivan was lauded as @ hero, especially by unmarried men. Meanwhile the Khan, furious at the insult and still more so at the lose ttibute money, raised a huge army and marched agginst Moseow,’ capital. The Russian army went forth eagerly to meet him. Then comic opera war that was the laughter of all Europe. “ The two hosts came to opposite banks. of the Oka River and howled defiance at each other across the stretch of water that separated them. Each elde dared the other to cross the stream and fight. Before either could accept the invitation a panic fear overcame Ivan's new-found courage—his pluck also being in his wife's name, and his wifo not being present to keep him up to the mark. He ran away, fleeing In terror and deserting his followers. His nobles and his priests ran after him, scolded’ * him like a runaway child for his cowardice, and dragged him back to his waiting and wondering army. There, on opposite sides of the Oka, the two hosts continued to wait, doing nothing, and bawling insults at each other. Winter came on. The river froze solid. It was no longer a barrier between the armies, ‘ Tho Russian leaders proposed to cross on the ice and make a night attack on the Tartars, That was too much for the courage of Ivan the Great. Again he ran away, This time he went so fast and so unexpectedly that his nobles could not catch him and bring him back, His army found that he had fled, And the army promptly followed his example. if empty of defenders. The road to Moscow lay open before the invaders. But they had not the sense to know that, In the vanishing of the Russian army the Tartars thought they saw a trap. They fancied the Russians might have gotten ® around behind them during the night and might even A “Gomic now be preparing to attack them from the rear.

And their whole army fled back whence {t had started, Thus ended the idiotic war, brought on by a woman's tears and brought to an end by mutual cowardice. On the strength of the Tartars’ filght, Ivan made his own terms of peace with the foe; and later boasted loudly that his retreat had been a masterpiece of strategic genius.
