FRUIT AS A MEDICINE.
Its Use is Always Advantageous in
Certain Forms of Disease.

AS medicine l look upon fruit as a
most valuable ally, says the Popular
Science Monthly" When the body is
in that breaking up condition known as
scurvy the whole medical profession
look upon fruit and fresh vegetables as
the one and only known remedy. 1 be-
lieve the day will come when science
will use it very much more largely than
it does now in the treatment of many OF
the everyday ailments.
Impure blood means gout, rheuma-
tism, 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 1 use grapes and straw
berries, giving them to my patients in
small but frequent doses-oranges and
baked apples if the others are not OBJ
tainable. For rheumatism plenty OF
lemons are invaluable.
White girls with miserable, pallid
compilations want quart of straw
berries a day; where these are not OBJ
tainable bananas, which contain much
iron, are good substitute.
Probably of all fruits the apple stands
unrivaled for general purposes in the
household; either raw or cooked 1t can
be taken by nearly everybody, 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 su-
perior to it.
Dried fruits should be used when green
cannot be obtained. If soaked for few
hours before cooking they make a
capital substitute for fresh fruits, and
they come cheaper to the consumer.
For preserving fruit look upon bot
Ting in glass bottles as the coming
thing. Not by the use Of chemicals,
such as salicylic and boracic acids and
the various preservatives made from
them, but simply by protecting it after
cooking from the Preventative germs in
the atmosphere. 1t keeps for years
turns out even more palatable than
green fruit, is equally digestible and
contains all the virtues of freshly
cooked fruit. Canned fruit is not SO
good; the acid of the fruit dissolves UP
tin and lead from the tin, and I have
seen very serious cases Of illness as a
result. Besides, fruit should be sold
much cheaper in bottles than in tins, as
the bottles can be returned and used
again.

Paderewski has done something en-
titling him to gratitude. He has created
fund of $4,000, the interest upon
which is each third year to be used to
award three prizes aggregating Sl,OOO
for the best musical compositions by
Americans. The sum set aside will pay
the prizes, the first of which is 5000,
and the cost of maintaining the fund
and passing upon the works submitted,
the advertising, etc. PadereWski has
wisely barred no one, so long as the
composer is an American no matter
what his religion or color he is compe-
tent to compete If other foreign artists
who come over and cart away hun
dreds of thousands of dollars of our
money, tributes to their genius, would
follow Paderewski's example, it would
be graceful work and presently result
in series of funds stimulative of in
tellect mind and natural skill. Thus
we might have competitive contests in
art, literature and dramatic writing
and so on. In time these examples
might induce wealth among our own to
endow schools of music and art, and
lead up possibly to the greater things
of which Emma Thursby once dreamed,
an American Academy.

POLITICAL AND MORAL STAND.
ARDS,


Cardinal Gibbons, in his recent essay
In the American Magazine of Civics,"
quotes Emerson-"the moral sentiment
is alone omnipotent"-and, then, while
contending for free will, asserts that
man is always under the rule of con-
science, acting under the will of the
Most High But this is not an abso-
lutte truth, and cannot be, for the sim
pie reason that conscience is very large
ly a matter of environment, Of educa-
ton and circumstance.
However it is conceded that all our
acts rest upon the basis of our moral
ity. That, being measured and deter
mined by the environment which fixes
the standards of morality, it follows
that we must judge the acts Of all men
from the standpoint of condition. But
the Cardinal, in this essay, treats of
morality as related to politics. and
the reasoning is logical and sound in the
main He who breaches that politics
exempts from the obligations of NOR
ality prates of license to err and sin.
Against this claim of exemption the
Catholic dignitary protests. But it is
of the very ethics of most political
activity to-day. Dishonesty in politics
is not held to be an offense against NOR
ality; men who deem themselves pure,
clean and obedient to good conscience
will engage in political trickery and
chicane without a question and not
deem 1t necessary to even excuse them
selves. As for self-reproach, it never
even suggests itself to them. The &C.
clesiastic says:
ment has relation to the social life of
men, and its object is to secure for the
aggregate of individuals and families
banded together for mutual happiness,
benefit and protection their inalienable
rights and privileges. The hands in
which the power of governing is placed
are to be raised in benediction and love.
and the exercise of this power must
tend directly and Immediately to the
welfare of the commonwealth. The
union of human beings in municipali-
ties and States and countries arises
from a divine ordinance and from the
needs and requirements of our nature:
which is social The individual, how
ever. does not lose his autonomy when
he becomes factor in the social fab

The Gilroy Advocate remarks: "a
publisher is not expected by sane peo-
pie to vouch for the representa- of
his advertising patrons. He is not sup
posed to indorse the claims of the mer-
chant or the promises of the politician
who may purchase space to solicit pa
tronage or support"
OF course not. Would our contem-
porary have US understand that there
are people down about Gilroy who hold
liz the advertising columns? If so, such
should be put on view as the greatest
Of curiosities of the age.

They are now attempting betterments
upon the Crolyizing of the streets at the
footway crossings. The runaway
broken stone was yesterday captured
and gathered in, patted down and
fenced about with mud and earth and
made to look pretty neat, and assume
an appearance altogether deceitful. But
III a day or two when the mud has dried
out the restless stones will again go
upon the dance. These are propositions
the Crolyizers ought to get someone to
beat into their noodles, namely, that a
half-round stone has no place whatever
in any surface stone group intended to
pack or bind; when road engineers
speak Of stone binder they do not mean
anything like cement or ceanentine.
what they do mean is this, such mixing
and pressing of the units of ane,v
broken road metal that the fac sides
VIII meet, and the angles accommodate
ing to each other, and being close
pressed, bind together by pressure: the
finer matter ground from the sharp
edges will fill the interspaces and thus
more firmly secure the archlike form.
any soluble earthly matter placed be-
tween broken stones will serve to keen
them apart, not to unite them: anv
such matter between the units is a me-
dunn for the descent of water. and
hence the unsettling of the whole struct
ure. Therefore experience fortifies
science when the road engineer says
that earthly matter never should be
mixed with new macadam; that when,
broken stone is placed on hard surface
without such footing or shouldering as
win keep it to place, and without such
packing by rolling or tamping as will
create the bind the whole mass viii,
loosen up and be scattered.
No concise statement of the recent
barber Sunday law decision has ap-

constitutional the Supreme Court in
dulged in some biting but just criticism
of the Legislature that tried TO make a
crime out of an act done by one class
that is not criminal when done by
others.
