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.

Harold, gazing down at the splendid

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.

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,

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
