the difficulties Of getting farmers to work
on the road. "Some cighteenmonths ago,

out of their way to drive over that piece
Of road, | resolved when | was elected

Of the roads The people from the cit

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.


With regard to the valre Of fruit as n

after fruit because their rapidly growing
bodies exercise the tissue producing fuRc-
lions to their utmost limits, ana this con
stunt strain necessitntes extra nutriment
and assimilation if the child is to continue
to thrive and be healthy. Children digest
rapidly and us-imilate raEidly. in the or
binary heterogeneous foods Of children there
is great lack Of those tonic or acid proper
ties which are 80 essential to rapid develop

petite. Fruits furnish these particularly
desirable elements in the highest possible
perfection, and in addition to their zes6
giving properties they also prevent loath-
ing for other foods which is a by 20 means
uncommon or .unimportant complaint"
According 10 DR.. Bycrs, so take fruit ss
