HOW TO EAT FRUITS.

Precautions to BE Observed by Adults and
Children.
Fruit may be taken with a meal or on
IN empty stomach. In the former case
il promotes digestion by its gently irri-
tating effect on the mucous membrane
of the stomach and intestines. If an
aperlent effect be desired it had better
be taken in the morning before break
fast or between meals. A succulent and
pleasantly acid variety is best for both
these purposes, while it is also food.
The quantity of fruit which should be
taken depends on the kind. If it belong
to the bland nutritious class, healthy
person may now and then partake of it
as freely as any other wholesome food.
But he will gain most benefit if he take
only I little, and take it regularly. The
same may be said of the invalid with
whom fruit agrees.
Cooking removes much of the acidity
from crude fruit, and renders it lighter

it is productive Of good and no HARM
But it is . fundamental principle that
whatever fruit is eaten uncooked must
be fully ripe and not over-ripe. This
may sound trite, and. indeed, the prin-
ciple is commonly admitted; but not, it
would seem, by all, for we still find peo-
ple. and not . few, who will themselves
deliberately take, and worse. will give

Such people use IS food an acid,
irritant poison, whose necessary ac-
ton is TO cause excessive intes-
final secretion, with more or less of in
flammation. Hence arises diarrh9a.
On the other hand, fruit which is over
ripe, in which fermentation has begun,
