Of the demonstration made thus far, he
suddenly broke out:
"Supposin I wor tn general com.

Now, how would it do TO- me tor march

Maynard smiled. 1t suddenly OCCUR
red to him how little Jakey knew Of
the game Of war; how useless had been
his explanations.
"What would DO your plan of attack,
general2" he asked, wishing to humor
tho boy.
"Waal," said Jakey, who had no
moro idea Of what he was talking about
than the 14-year-old boy he was, II
reckon I'd put the big guns in long
limo Oh top O. tn Pea Vine ridge hyar,
n jest scatter shot II shell like chicken

Maynard burst into laugh Jakoy
surveyed the altered expression Of his
friends face with his bright little eyes
and ohuckled, but his own face was as
imperturbablo as usual.
"General, "said tho boy commander q
supposititious enemy, "what would you
do if were to draw my troops out Of
ranger"
Jakey was puzzled. He made des.
perate off ort to conjure reply.
"Waal," he said prest Itly, II reckon
I'd jest wait TO- you uns ter do some

"Your ground would be strong enough
in itsolf, but weak on tho flanks, eape-
oially your left, and in case Of retreat
you would bavo the creek to GROSS in
face Of an enemy, a hazardous under
taking would turn your loft and get
possession Of tho roads to Chattanooga.
Perhaps 7 could defeat you and force
you to rooross tho creek. While you
wcre doing so I would knock you to
pieces. If you succeeded In crossing,
you would find my troops in your rear
betweon you and Chattanooga.
Jakoy neither understood nor evon

FRUIT AS A FOOD AND MED
TCTNE


for the amusement of their child
rem. Many parents will more read
lily spend money on injurious or
even poisonous sweets than they
will on good healthy fruit, and
fashionable society will spend dol
lars on cakes, wines and brandies,
while they spend as many pennies
on the very thing they need to keep
them healthy-fruit. And as for
the amount of drugs swallowed
which should be replaced in great
measure by fruit it is beyond my
powers to calculate. Millions upon
millions of dollars are spent annu-
ally upon mercurial and other pur-
gatives, most of which would be
quite unnecessary if the people
would but look upon fruit as a nee
essary article of diet. The fruit
grower of the future must try to so
educate the public mind that this
state of things will be altered. The
man who makes sweets puts them
up in all sorts of tempting boxes or
packages, then he pushes the sale
in various ways. Why should not
we have fruit palaces where, at rea-
sonable prices, people could get the
choicest fruit at any hour of the
day?
Good ripe fruits contain large
amount of sugar in very easily
digestible form. The sugar forms
a light nourishment, which, in con-
junction with bread, rice, etc, form
food especially suitable for these
warm colonies (Australia); and
when eaten with, say, milk or milk
and eggs, the whole forms the most
perfect and easily digestible food
imaginable. For stomachs capable
Of digesting it fruit eaten with pas
try forms very perfect nourish-
ment, but | prefer my cooked fruit
covered with rice and milk or GUS
tard. Although [ look upon fruit
as an excellent food, yet | look up
on it more as necessary adjunct
than as as a perfect food Of itself
Why for ages have people eaten
apple sauce with their roast goose
and sucking pig? Simply because
the acids and pectOncs in the fruit
assist in digesting the fats oabund-
ant in this kind of food. For the
same reason at the end of a heavy
dinner we cat our cooked fruits,
and when we want their digestive
action even more developed we take
them after dinner in their natural
unlocked state as dessert. In the
past ages instinct has taught men
to do this; today science tells them
why they did it, and this same
science tells US that fruit should be
eaten as an aid to digestion of other
foods much more than it is now
Cultivated fruits such as apples,
pears, cherries, strawberries, grapes
etc. contain on anal ysis very sim
liar proportions of the same ingred-
tents, which are about eight per
cent. Of grape sugar, three per cent.
of pectones, one per cent. malic and
other acids. and one per cent. of
hesh-forming albuminoids, with
over so per cent. of water. Diges-
ton depends:upon the action Of pep
sin in the stomach upon the food,
which is greatly aided by the acids
Of the stomach, Fats are digested
by these acids and the bile from
the liver. Now, the acids and pee

action. 1t keeps the body in a
healthy condition. Good fruit clear
the blood and prevents this sort of
thing. This lemon Juice cure for
rheumatism is founded on scientific
facts. and having suffered myself
from acute govt for the last fifteen
years, | have proved over and over
again the advantages which are OBJ
tanned from eating fruit. Garrod,
the great London authority on govt,
advises his patients to take oranges,
lemons, Strawberries, grapes, apples
pears, etc. Tardieu, the great French
authority, maintains that the salts
of potash found so plentifully in
fruits are the chief agents in puri-
flying the blood from these rheu-
matte and equity poisons. Perhaps
in our unnatural, civilized society,
sluggish action of the bowels and
liver is res ponsible for more actual
misery than any other ailment
Headache, indigestiod, constipation
haemorrhoids, and a general miser
able condition, are but too often the
experience of the sufferer, and to
overcome it about half the drugs in
the world are given in all sorts Of
compounds. But bring in your
fruit and the whole scene changes.
If we go through the back streets
of our large towns how many pallid-
faced, listlesslooking people and
children swarm around us, and
they have, as a rule, plenty of food
AS medicine [ look upon fruit
as a most valuable ally. When the
body is in that breakingup condi-
ton known as scurvy, the whole
medical profession look upon fruit
and vegetables as the one and only
known remedy. | believe the day
will come when science will use it
very much more largely than it
does now in the treatment of many
of the every day ailments. Impure
blood means govt, rheumatism, skin
diseases. ricketts,, and other troubles.
AS it is proved that fruit will purify
and improve the quality of the
blood, it must follow that fruit is
both food and medicine combined.
In fevers | use grapes and straw
berries, giving them to my patients
in small but frequent doses-oran-
ges and baked apples, if the others
are not obtainable. For rheuma-
tism plenty of lemons are invalua-
BILE. White girls with miserable,
pallid compilations want quart of
strawberries a day; where these are
not obtainable, bananas, which con-
tain much iron, are good substi-
tute. Probably, of all fruits, the
apple stands unrivalled for general
purposes in the household; either
raw or cooked it can be taken by
nearly eryoody, and it contains
similar properties to the other more
delicate fruits. To my mind the
pear is more easily digested than
the apple, and for eating uncooked
is superior to it. Dried fruits should
be used when green can not be OBJ
tanned. If soaked for few hours
before cooking they make capital
substitute for fresh fruit, and they
come cheaper to the consumer,
For preserving fruit look upon
bottling in glass bottles as the COM
ing thing. Not by the use of chem
icals, such as salicylic and broacic
acids, and the various personalities

THE NJ. p. LOSES.
It's Terminus Is Located by Secretary
Smith-Lands Lost.

Smttn-Lande Losts
Washington. Nov. 14.-Secretary
Smith decided al very important case
to-day, holding the eastern terminus
of the Northern Pacific railroad Is
either at Thompson, Mimi, or Supe-
rior. Wis, instead of Ashland, Wis,
as has always been claimed by the
company. About 100000 acres are lost
by the company. The secretary does
not undertake to say whether the grant
begins at Thompson or Superior City,
but directs all selections for indemnity
between these points be held up for
further consideration. He does declare
the grant of the Northern Pacific does
not extend east of Superior City. He
also says he Is aware the lands east of
Superior City was the basis for the
selection OF a large quantity of the
lands from the Indemnity belt of the
company's grant in North Dakota.
These selections having been made
some time ago, many, IL not all, per-
haps, have been sold by the company.
The secretary has directed the compa-
ny be allowed so days from notice of
this decision within which to specify a
new basis for any of its indemnity Sc
lections, avoided by the decision, and
that during that period no con-
tracts against such selections,
where the charge Is that the
basis was made of lands east of Su-
perior City, or against applications to
enter under settlement laws will be re-
ceiVed.
