FRUIT AS A MEDICINE.
Its Use Is Always Advantageous In Certain
Forms of Disease.

Its Use IL Always Ausahthgcous IN Sertnh
Forms of Disease.
Asn medicine 1 look upon fruit as a
most valuable ally When the body Is In
that breaking up condition known as
scuryy, the whole medical profession look
upon fruit and fresh vegetables AS the ono
and only known remedy. l believe the
day will come when science will use 1t
very much more largely than 1t does now
In tho treatment of many OF the everyday
ailments. Impure blood means gout,
rheumatism, skin diseases, sickets and
other troubles. AS 10 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 strawb berries, giving them
TO my patients In small hut frequent doses;
oranges and baked apples II the others are
not obtainable. For rheumatism plenty
of lemons are Invaluable. White girls
with miserable, pallid complexions want
quart of strawberries day; where THESE
are not obtainable bananas, which contain
much iron, are good substitute. Proba.
bly, Of all fruits the apple stands unrivaleu
for general purposes In the household.
Either raw or cooked II can be taken 10y
nearly everybody, and II contains similar
properties to the other more delicate fruits.
To my mind the pear Is more easily di-
gested than tho apple and for eating un-
cooked Is superior to II. Dried fruits
should be used when green cannot be oo-
tained. IL soaked for few hours before
cooking they make capital substitute Tor
fresh fruits, and they come cheaper TO the
consumer.
For preserving fruit look upon DOT
thing In glass bottles ms the coming thing
Not by the use of chemicals, such as sal
icyiic and borscic acids and the various
brpservatives made from them, but simply
by protecting IL after cooking FROM the
fsrsneutine germs Ia The atmosphere. IL
keeps for years, turns cut even more paia-
table than green fruit and is equally d.
aestible and ooptnlns oil the virtues OF
freshly cooked fruit. Canned fruit Is not
40 good. The acid Of the fruit dissoives
up tin and lead from tho tin, and have
seen very serious cases OF illness as rc-
suit. Besides fruit should be sold inuon
cheaper In bottles than In tins, as the DOT
tie can be returned and used again. n.-fop'

The Body Of Mrs. Arthur Cody
Found at Last.
SHE HAD TAKEN HER own LIFE.

Retired TO u Beautiful spot ON the shore of
Puget sound and Fired Bullet into Her
Body-The Remains of the Dead Woman
Discovered by Her Father aud Another
Msn-Last Request of the Woman Before
Killing Herself
TACOMA, Wash. March 4.-The mys-
very surrounding tho disappearance Of
Mrs. Arthur B. Cody of Chicago Jan. 81
has been solved by tho finding of her
body Monday In dense clump Of hazel
bush on bluff overlooking Puget sound,
In the northern part OF this city. She
committed suicide by shooting herself.
Her parents are satisfied she met death at
her own hands, and an inquest and autop-
sy will be dispensed with unless Mr.. Cody
Insists upon it. Mr. Cody personally di-
rected the search for his wife until he left
here on Saturday last accompanied by
bis boy, aged . years, for Pasadena, Cal.
where his parents have q winter cottage.
and where his two other children, aged q
and 3, are staying. The spot where Mrs
Cody was found Is the most beautiful
place imaginable. Puget sound and SOW
eral island form semioircle about It.
The Police Wore Right.
Mount Tacoma Is In full view, sixty
miles south, and to the northwest q seq
ment OF seventy miles of the Olympic
mountains serrate the horizon. The po.
lice were right in believing Mrs. Cody was
the woman who bought revolver on the
day OF her disappearance, for the gun
smith who sold IL identified the revolver
which was clutched In the right hand
when the body was found Three cham
bers were empty, although only one bull.
let entered her body The bullet was
fired evidently while Mrs. Cody was on
her knees, facing Puget sound. This leads
some of her friends to believe she was
praying when prepared to take her own
life. T.. II. Goodrich Mr.. Cody's father
in-law, and A. X. Upright have continued
the search since Mr.. Cody's departure.
Mr.. Goodrich has bcen distracted since
his daughter disappearance, and the con-
tinued searching has nearly Frustrated
him. Monday just before noon Mr. Up
right heard moan while beating about
In the hazel brush
Found Mrs. Cody's Body.
He found Mr. Goodrich on his hands
and knees with his face bent TO the
ground He was half unconscious and
groaned fceby. AT his fingers ends was
his daughters paisley shawl, astrakan
cape, gloves, and handkerchief, all neatly
rolled up in loose bundle. Upright as
sisted the father to sitting posture, and
on going about forty feet Into the brush
found Mrs. Cody's body. Before leaving
her parents home Mrs Cody wrote letters
willing several of her most costly dress,s
and some Of her jewel y to her friends
and children. She so requested that
her body be Inferred NJ Naperville, near
Chicago. where she Dent many happy
years of married life. She had been mar
ried nine years. 1t Is now understood
among friends of the family that she
feared her illness would result IN her bo'
ing sent To an asylum. She dreaded the
idea of living years in an asyl -, and 1t
is probable this dread drove - to the
deed
