Professor Manning Advocates Its
Use.
At the regular monthly meeting of the
State Board of Horticulture yesterday a
lecture on Fruit and Nuts as Food and
Drink was delivered by W. S. Manning
The speaker argued that fruit is the
natural food of man, and that if people
would adopt a fruit diet almost all the
physical ills which flesh is erron eously
supposed to be heir to would vanish.
An animated discussion followed the
lecture. in which Professor Hilgard SUP
ported Mr.. Manning's views and added
that the fruits OF California can be shown
to be more nutritious than those of other
lands. He stated. however. that the
present system of sulphuring fruit makes
it unwho olesome.
