Bananas, v. -Beef.. - The " New Zealand Times," in comment ing upon the recent risa in the price o meat, suggests that frugal housekeepers might still keep their butchers' bills -with in their means by adopting the tactics of certain ingenious Americans, who are meeting the operations of the Beef Trust by illustrating the advantages of vegeta rianism. The New York Vegetarian Socie ty took the lend by giving a dinner to over two hundred prominent citizens, at which it showed to its guests that food just as pleasant and nutritious as that derived from flesh could be obtained from vegetable products. This was follow ed by another dinner, given by a South Australian visitor, a Mr Spawu, at which bananas figured very largely in the menu. There were banana soups, banana crackers, banana bread, banana fritters, banana cro quettes, banana rice pudding, and banana plum pudding, and the company, which in -1 eluded a number of physicians and food ex perts, pronounced all these dishes to be ex cellent. Mr Spawn, who declares that ba nana flour contains 23 per cent more nutri ment than ordinary wheat flour, is about? to establish large banana factories in South America, for the preparation of banana foods, which he hopes to make popular in the Uniled States- It is a remarkable fact that the scientific nam& of the banana describes it as the food of wise men,'it hav ing formed the staple food of the, wise men of India. Humbfldt, in his account of hia travels, mentions that he found put the in telligence of the natiyes in America was in proportion to the cultivation of the banana in their districts; and this is not the only high testimony we have to the virtue of the fruit. Professor Goodale, of Harvard Col lege, delivered a lecture on "Tropical : Fruits/' at the Lowell Institute, some time ago, in the course of which he stated that the banana was at the head of all fruits as food. No other tropical fruit, he '■ ap proached it in the point of nutrition, :and one acre of well-grcwn banana trees would produce as much valuable food as twenty acres of wheat. Dr ]Jssery, of St Louis, confirmed this testimony, and added that bananas made the very best diet for fever patients. It is important, however, that the fruit should be well-ripened in a natur al way; and; as this is almost impossible in the case of the fruit sold in this country, the local vegetarian should be specially ac tive in advocating improved coinmuhioa tion with the islands. If housewives could satisfy their menkind that three meat meals a day are not necessary to their existence, everyone but the butcher would probably benefit from the smaller consumption pt flesh. . ..:■>..,
