With the increasing demand for fresh fruits at all seasons of the year bas come the difficulty of supplying them in a condi- dion in which the dangers of contamination are largely avert ed. Decay is one of the limit ing factors in the use of fresh fruits. Among the many fruits there is one which is equipped in its native form with a pro tective covering that calls for more than passing mention. Some time ago Tbe Journal of the American Medical Associa tion emphasized the advantages afforded by tbe banana as a wholesome food and ventured the suggestion that this fruit, though growing in popularity, is still understood in American nousenoids. roe banana con sists, in its green state largely Of starch and water. The es. sential change during the pro cess of ripening is a conversion of tbe starch iuto sugar- The rale of ripeniug is dependent on the temperature. The edible portion of each fruit is packed away in a peel wnicn serves a more useful purpose than has hitherto been realized. Exper iments On the fruit in different stages show that the inner por tions of the pulp of sound bana nas, are practically sterile. The peel is singularly resistant to invasion by bacteia. Even when bananas were immersed in fluids containing disease germs they did not penetrate iuto tbe interior, The probability of in fection through the peel might. be transferred to the consumer's fingers and hence to the mouth. This is an interesting example of a food delivered by Nature in practically sterile packages. Nature's wholesome services should not be undone by care less methods of marketing such foods. - An ammendment to tbe State Constitution has been introduced for the purpose of giving the women of North Carolina the right to vote. We do not believe the good women of the State want it, for they are modest and realize that very great will be the decent to the ballot from their lotty and sacred position as" "queeu of the home. " Woman will clamor for the ballot when, as someone bas said of the mod ern suffragette, she gets to the point where she prefers to '"raise hades than children."

The southern sweet potato was given effective exploitation at a table, in Washington a few weeks ago, when the Southern Railway, the Cincinnati New Orleans and Texas Pacific Rail. way. the Alabama Great, South ern Railroad, the New Orleans and Northeastern Railway and the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, joined in advertising the day as "Southern Sweet Potato Day," serving the sweet potato in var ious styles on their dining cars. The delicious and wholesome qualities of the southern sweet potato and the many ways which it may be prepared 'was brought prominently to the attention of all dininir car patrons on that day and henceforth the potato will be reeularly included on UDe menus of these lines, which are working with the idea of enlarging the markat for this valuable product of the South, tnus encouraging farmers and truckers to pay more attention to growing sweet potatoes as a money crop i ' 7 The committee in charge of tbe inauguration is having a seJ rious time in determining what sort of social event is to follow the inaugural ceremonies. Here tofore the custom has been to hold an inaugural ball tbe even ing following the inauguration. Tbe Democratic simplicity of Gov. Wilson has led him to op pose th's feature and it is prob able that a buge receptiou to be held under the Capitol Dome will be substituted. This will be somewhat of a dissapointment to the ladies who visit Washing ton, as the -inaugural ball is looked upon by them as the cli max of the inaugural ceremon ies ' - - Cored of Iitrer Complaint.
