An effective fly poison. which has Che
merit Of being poisonous only to flies, is
made of the yolk of an egg beaten up

Fruits.

Fruit cools the blood. cleans the teeth
and aids the digestion. Those who can't
eat 1t miss the benefits of perhaps the
most medicinal food on NATURES bill of
fare. Unripe fruit is sickening because
he pulp. instead of being soft and con-
tanning syrup and wine, is tough and
filled with acid; the gastric system can
not dissolve the one or absorb the other,
the organs become irritated, inhamma-
ton sets In and the result is distress.
disease and often death. Spoiled fruit
is simply so much decay and the very
thought Of consuming it makes one
shudder. If unripe and decayin'g fruit
must be eaten, by all means cook 1t, so
as to soften the pulp and kill the worm.
