FruItEator. Need No Doctor.


We were struck recently by tho 70.
marks Of a doctor friend OF ours, who
said no one thing will do so much Ia
make people independent Of the medical
profession as the daily free use Of fruit.
He had noticed that those farmers IN
whose families fruit was regularly and
largely consumed seldom needed his
services, We thought what pity that
every farmer in the land could not be
convinced Of these truths 1t Is do,
plorable fact that farmers families do
not enjoy that robust health that coun.
try air and out door life, with plenty Of
exercise, should give.
1t is also a fact that, living on farms
whose rich acres are aching to pro.
duce abundant crops Of the varied
fruits, but very few have plenty,
and many never have any fruit, OK.
cept 1t may be an occasional apple. The
standard food in a ma. .ority Of farmers
houses consists largely Of bread, butter
and meat mostly pork fried in grease,
and, where pastry or cake Is used, it has
lard in large proportion in its compost.
ton; and this food Is eaten at least
twice. and, in many families, three
times day, year in and year out. Is
it any wonder that they are not moro
healthy, and that their prevailing
diseases are such as indicate an over.
consumption Of greasy food. If fruits
were expensive or difficult to raise, there
would be some excuse; but there is no
part Of the country without plenty OF
varieties adapted 10 its soil and climate,
and just such as are fitted by nature to
both nOurish and cleanse the body, and
no more skill is required to,grow thOm
than to grow corn or wheat.

The custom Of using tie head as q
pack.horse Is common among the Chi.
nese Of California and the negroes Of
the south. On the streets Of san Fran.
cisco the Chinese washerman is met
stumping along on his thick. soled shoes,
as II on little stills, with a htige basket
Of clean linen poised on his head.
He swings bis arms CareleSsly, bis
fingers almost hidden from sight by the
long, square.cut sleeves OF bis queer,
loosely fitting coat. The burden seems
to cause neither trouble nor fear.
Across streets, through mud, among
carriages, no picks his way as uncon.
cenedly as IL walking in a deserted
street. Occasionally, II ,ostled in the
crowd, one hand rises suddenly to tho
basket, steadies Chat, and then resumes
Its easy swing.
Many Of the negroes in the south use
their heads with even greater freedom
than the thinese, On their woolly pates

they have learned to loiter along tho
