Observation-Disclosures filling the German
establishments where this return to
nature is probationary patient
who has found himself made over by
the treatment has added to it q use
Of the dried grape, or raisin. Fruit of
all sorts is becoming more and more
part of the regular food supply; and
a growing constituency of people an
nounce themselves as believers in q
diet of fruit and nuts. Leaving these
extremists out of the present question,
it is certain that health increases for
whoever substitutes fruit, both fresh
and dried, for large part of the or
binary diet in daily use. One of our
best literary workers has found that
a bunch of raisins with a slice Of
bread or crisp cracker or two makes
lunch that is not only satisfying,
but leaves the brain clear for the af-
ternoons work. Even in the days Of
our forefathers the muscatel raisins,
called so perhaps from the muscat
grape, brought by the Moors from
their African homes into Spain. were
credited with a special recuperative
force, and known as "raysons Of the
sum-" They were part Of the equipage
of q last illness. Saffron water and
these 'raysons Of the sum-" were side
by side on the neat little table, Which
held also the big Bible reserved for
solemn occasions, all three reminding
tho SllffQro1. that no Or Sho had dina
with the ordinary fare Of mortal life.
But there need be no such somber
association with the raisin of to-day,
our own California providing at it's
best, a rich, fruity raisin, sun dried, Of
course, vet not so much dried as distill-
ed, all the watery parts being driven
off, and the richer qualities Of the
grape developed in natures own alem-
bic. These raisins, with whole wheat
bread, makes genuine food, good for
child as we'll as man, and hailed by
the children with reclamation. The
need for sugar-an instinct With child
ren-is met in raisins or dates in inf
nitely more healthy fashion than in
any other order Of sweet. and the
child who has full provision of such
fruits makes no. demand for candy
or cake. The best California raisins
are now cheap enough to be within
the means Of all, and their use is
steadily increasing. A set Of young
lawyers in New York have adopted
fruit as lunch, finding that work can
go on with none Of the sense Of heayi-
ness produced by the ordinary meal;
and raisins have been introduced as
one Of the most satisfying FORMS
