Protein Than Banana The pawpaw (cuctard apple) fro#» .wild In the woodiots in some eectlona of the\«mntry. In flavor and general character it resembles tropical frolts much more than fruits eonugoaljr grown in template climates. In many respects it resebble* the cherlmoya (a Mexican and West Indies product) and the soursop' of Florida. The creamy-white flesh which m$)ts in your mouth has a rich, most delicious fla vor, which sUjpgests a sort of glorified banana, although far superior to the latter in flavor. The pawpaw is superior to other fruits, according to an authority, in the amount of protein it contains which is four times that of the banana. The flesh is soft with no fiber and re quires no\mastication. It has never been, extensively cultivated though there is no reason why it shouldn't be. The tree grows rather rapidly and at tains a height of about 80 feet. The flowers in spring resemble those of the wine-colored blossoms of the wild gin ger. “The fruit resembles an over- stuffed banana, first green and then turning brown in fall The first nip oi frost Imparts a delicate flavor to the fruit and this is the best time to eat it The wood pf the pawpaw has little commercial valuelieing light and soft and subject to‘ rapid deterioration. / ’ Cl ChnstmasEve Sienjh Ride ■n . ♦ • t A* ' > ' ' % Jib* GaisforJ-^ DC- Jingling sleigh bells played little tunes as the young set out on Christmas corner they stopped dear young voices filled the 'night with joyous hymns.

CHRISTMAS XTREES*' bu Constant* With row \j^AAAijLXjkJLA\ BEsaaoscsasUESD S T IS the custom in s certain vil lage near the sea for the men to go Into the woods and bring ont by ox sled many small spruce trees. These are ranged about the fonnda YTons of houses to keep them snug and warm for the winter. Even the poor est, meanest dwelling takes on a holi day aspect when surrounded by this hedge qf fresh, vigorous green. In a gray, weather-beaten cottage close to the shore lived a family whose hard luck was the talk of the village. The father was a fisherman, but now that the winter had set in, he could not go out In his dory; the summer had yielded a fair catch, but the prices were low. The motfier was a cheerful, sensible woman who kept the house tidy ahd her husband and little girl, Sallie, well cared for. When Christ mas time came, however, she was much troubled. “Shall I write Santa I want a carl with red wheels?" asked Sallie one day, “and a teeny doll house 1 can keep my kitten In?" “He has so many children to remem ber," said her mother, “1 wouldn’t be disappointed If just this once, Sallie, £e kind of forgot." Sallle's eyes grew round with amaze- * The WoA "ProcM.” The preferred pronunciation of the term “process” Is pros’es—o as In not, says the Literary Digest The plural Is formed by adding es. but the accent Is not shifted. The pronunciation “pro-cess" is an affectation without standibg. A secondary pronunciation is preferred in England, but the Uni versal English Dictionary, published in London,. which alms to give the pronunciation common to and pre ferred at Oxford university, does not recognize a plural form with stress of the third syllable, nor the pronun ciation of the termination es as eez In processes. Where Spices Come From Many of the world’s spices come from Singapore's nutmeg groves, cin namon and clove plantations and vine yards which produce white and black pepper berries. Coconuts and coffee beans grow abundantly on this ver dant Isle. Being near the equator, the sun rises and sets at the same time throughout the year. The air is fra grant with ibe odor of growing spices and the temperature Is always like that of moist July. The Southern Cross, most famous of constellations. Is visible there and natives claim that no night Is as beautiful as one of Sing- jra pore's. N A CHRISTMAS CALL THAT YOU WILL ENJOY JL By M. Q. Bennicker, MANAGER Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co. raent. “He can’t forget, Mamma. He’d not be Santa, If be did!" Mrs. Blake repeated Sallle’s answer to her best friend* Mrs. Moore. And Mrs. Moore said, “Bless the child . ’. ... well . .1 never 1” Sallie listened with her fat little hands clasped behind her back. “I don't believe It!" she said stoutly. And nothing her mother said could change her convictions. When they went to bed there wasn’t a present in the house—not an orange, not a candy cane—but Sallie was sure about the morning. She woke when the dawn was gray. She pattered over to her window. The sea rtas like a still, flat sheet of metal, the air was chin Down below was the green hedge of little trees. Sallle’s eyes stuck oat as she looked at them; she gave a high, delighted squeal On every tree it the tip-top, was a little package done up In bright paper and tied with colored string 1 A row of twenty Christmas trees, each bearing a gift! “He did come. Mamina!" shrieked Sallie.. “Santa trimmed twenty trees Instead of ona!** Mrs. Moorq told Mrs. Blake that evening that village chliflren had crept over in the night and each tied a (me ant to a tree. “I don't supposo yon had anything to‘do with it f smiled Sallle’s mother- "Oh, well." said Mrs. Moore, “faith F like Same’s cast be diaappolntaA’* ^ • -i-r.t'Jf. *■ **"* v ? •'Jr*' • •? sme»«w j»», # aWw * / ~ Christmas, the glad holiday sea son, Is near at band, it will be a happy time for many, while others will feel saddened because they will be separated from loved ones and friends. Families and friends do become scattered with the years and we miss their smiling faces and cheery voices, more espe** dally at Christ mas time. It is the season when happy memories flood our minds The older folks recall the years when the children were young and Christmas was a time of joyous ex citement for all. And the children, now grown up and living miles away with youngsters of their own, remember Mother and Dad aod wish they could all be together again, if only for a few minutes." To these folks we have a bappy t suggestion to make, one that many families are following. When the Yuletide rolls around this month, even though hundreds of miles sep arate you from your loved ones and friends, just remember your tele phone. All you need to do is lift the receiver and tell “Long Dis tance" whom it is you Want and al most at once the connection la made and you ara talking with them just aa though you wera in the saxha room. It .is the nsx’t best to being together in person. * A great many families make a practice of voice visiting by tele phone at regular Intervals through out the year. Bo- causa your votes is you over the tele phone, visiting this way has the personal .charm of a face-to- face visit and la a convenient and inex- i pensive' va? to the tiee of home and alive.
