Fruit vs.. Good Health.
BY PROF. J. +. STEELE, MOBILE, ALA
BAMA.

have lopg been noticing that a year
giving US an unusually large yield of
fruit invariably brings with it an unusual
amount of sickness among the people,
and therefore | cannot do otherwise than
conclude that the cause of unusual amount
Of sickness lies in the unusual abundance
Of fruit. And yet am far from holding
that the liberal use of frui. is detrimental
10 good health On the other hand. be-
lieve, if used in season. and properly
used. it is one of the greatest promoters
Of good health that we have.
Very small indeed is the per cent. of
people who really understand fruit They
do not seem to regard it as n blessing sent
them in the way of foOd-at least they do
not treat il as if they did but they rather
treat it as If they considered it means
placed within their reach to enable them
to violate natures most important laws
bearing on good health; something with
which to gorge their stoWachs at unsea-
sOnable hours, and set their digestive or
gans all out OF order. To be more plain.
they seldom think of eating fruit cooked
or otherwise ut their meals. just as they
would other species of food. but go on
stuffiing themselves with it between meals,
until finally, though they cannot
tell why. it z It's to be a very sckly season
Would it he apt 10 get sickly if they were
in like manner stuiiing themselves from
morning till night on bacon and
beans Even the most ignorant will
have Il correct answer for this
question and would beg leave to set
forth that the digestive apparatus finds
Just As much and as hard work to do on
fruit as it does on bacon and beans in
TACT believe the aci character of most
fruits makes them harder of digestion
than bacon and beans.
How strange it is that people-even in
telligent people-do not think OF this
That they do not is manifest in the fact
that they are constantly examining them
selves. or suffering their children to do
so, without word of hindrance. so long
as the fruit season lasts. or until the
.'chills." or something worse, come to the
rescue and choke them of.
Visit country friend in any fruit season.
and. no matter what the hour. his words
Of welcome have hardly ceased to vibratc

seduce you into making glutton OF your
self. And YOU must partake freely. or
hurt his feelings. II must be greeting
and fruit, dinner and fruit. tea and fruit
and fruit and farewell-fruit constantly
and fruit all the time.
And so it goes. and the fruit regions get
the name of being "a little sickly." and
fruit seasons are found to be rather less
healthiul than others.
This extra lunching or examining with
fruit is all wrong. and should not be in
dulged in. Nature has never intended it
to be so. as good sense ought to readily
teach us. We should no more eat fruit
out of our regular meals than we should
any other food on our tables FIVE do
we shall be the worst of law breakers.
