What Fruit Contains.

Our ordinary fruits contain the fol-
lowing substances in greater or less
proportions:
1. A large percentage of water.
2. Sugar, in the form of grape and
fruit sugar.
3. Free organic acids, varying ac-
cording to the kind of fruit. For ex-
ample, the predominating acid is NAL
ic in the apple, tartaric in the grape,
citric in the lemon.
4. Protein or albuminoids, sub
stances containing nitrogen, which re-
semble the white of eggs, and are it's
equivalent in food value.
5. Pectose, the substance which
gives firmness to fruit, and which up
on boiling yields various fruit jellies.
6. Cellulose or vegetable fiber, the
material that forms the cell walls, and
which is found in all parts of plants
7. A very small percentage of ash
or mineral salts.-Dietetic and Hy-
gienic Gazette.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-09-22
The Uses of Fruit.

1. To furnish the variety of the diet.
2. To relieve thirst and introduce
water into the system.
3. To furnish nutriment.
4. To supply organic salts essential
to proper nutriment.
5. To stimulate the kidneys, in
crease the flow of urine, and lower it's
acidity.
6. To act as laXatives.
7. To stimulate and improve appe-
tite and digestion.
8. To act as antiscOrbutics.
Concerning the mode of prepara-
ton, ripe fruits as rule do not need
to be cooked, and are much more pal
atable and equally nutritious in the
uncooked state. The proper time to
eat fruit is either at the beginning of
the meal or between meals, when they
aid digestion and exert the greater
laxative effect. Taken at the compile
ton Of meal they dilute the gastric
juice and tend to embarrass digestion

Hygienic Gazette.

er guard, securely fastened in place so
that it cannot be removed. This eau
ton is particularly important if there
are children. And still another eau
ton. Children should not be allowed
to play or sit at an open window, I'M
protected by bars or other security,
as frightful accidents have occurred
from this inattention.
Interest them in plant life, with it's
marvellous growth and embodiment,
and let them feel a personal response
bility for their care and cultivat ton.
In the summer they should, if posi-
BILE, have plot of ground that they
call their own for a flower garden,
and have full limit to dig and delve
and plant and SOW to their hearts
content. 1t is not only charming to
the child, but to the parents as we'll,
to note with what enjoyment they
tend the flowers they have reared, and
watch each fresh opening bud as it
blooms into beauty.
Accustom the children to simple
food, simple tastes, and simple amuse-
ments, and they will grow up healthy,
hardy and happy.
We might add the thought of teach.
ing them to care for their own room
too. Teach them systematic training
from the earliest moment they begin
to walk.

A HELPFUL CORNER.


ida many homes are infested with
feas which prove very annoying. An
exchange gives some remedies for the
little pest. 1t says:
Flea larvae will not develop success
fully in situations where they are
likely to be disturbed. That they will
develop in the dust in the cracks in
floors which are not frequently swept
has been observed. The overrunning
Of houses in summer during the tenn
porary absence of the occupants is I'M
doubtedly due to the development of
a brood of fieas in the dust in the
cracks of the floor from eggs which
have been dropped by some pet dog or
cat. This overrunning is more liable
to occur in moist than in excessively
dry summer weather, and it is more
likely to occur during the absence of
the occupants of the house, for the
reason that the floors do not, under
such circumstances, receive their GUS
tomary sweeping. The use of carpets
or straw mattings would seem to ia
vor their development under the cir
cumstances above mentioned. The
young larvae are so slender and so
active that they readily penetrate the
interstices of both sorts of coverings
and find an abiding place in some
crack where they are not likely to be
disturbed.
That it is not difficult to destroy
this flea in it's early stages is shown
by the difficulty of rearing it; but to
destroy the adult feas is another mat
ter. Their extreme activity and great
hardness render any but the most
such cases the ordinarily recommend
ed remedies are often tried in vain.
Even the persistent use of California
buhach and other pyrethrum powders,
and, what seems still stranger, a free
sprinkling of floor mating with ben
zine, were Intellectual in one particu-
AoI CdoC VI OAul OIIIC LII
fact, it was not until all the floor mat
tings had been taken up and the floor
washed down with hot sOapsuds that
the flea pest abated. In another case,
however, single application of Cali
fornia buhach, freely applied, was
perfectly successful; and in a third
case a single thorough application of
benzine also resulted in perfect sue
cess.
Those who wish a more original
way might try some plan like that
adopted by Professor Gage at one of
the buildings of Cornell University,
and described by him in Insect Life.
This plan consisted in tying sheets of
sticky fly paper, with the sticky side
out, around the legs of the janitor Of
the building, who then for several
hours walked up and down the floor
of the infested room, with the result
that all or nearly all of the feas jump
ed on his ankles, as they will always
do, and were caught by the fly paper.

necessary.
If paint is used on the walls, glar-
ing colors should be avoided. The
grayish tints are quiet and restful,
therefore are excellent for this pur-
pose. If paper is used, do not resort
to huge figures and strong colors, but
select small design. The flower
form is agreeable, and will not be-
come extremely tiresome after a few
months of daily association. Care
should be taken that the wall paper
contains no arsenic Or other objection
able ingredient. Those finished with
wax may be easily wiped with damp
cloth, and all dust removed.
To promote cleanliness the floor
should be bare. The hard pine, match
ed floor, waxed or oiled, is most desir-
able; but the painted, or white board
floor, will answer every purpose. Els
pecial regard should be paid to the
prevention of draughts from the
cracks between the floor and base
board. This difficulty may be over
come by screwing a molding to the
floor, all around the edges of the
room.
One or more rugs may be spread,
and if there are children to sit on the
floor, it is desirable to provide cush-
ion made from a comfortable, and
protected on top by rubber cloth,
over which is a covering of linen or
Turkish toweling, which should be
securely fastened at the edge with
safety-pins.
The curtains should be of washa BILE
material, and reach only to the sill.
If there are shades underneath, dotted
muslin makes very pretty and mex
pensive drapery. White or colored
linen, or cretonne in dainty designs
are suitable, when draperies only are
used
To allow the utmost freedom of ac-
ton in the nursery there should be
no more furniture than is absolutely
necessary; the strong wicker ware is
the best, for the reason that it en-
dures wear and tear with the least Wis
ible marring of anything, and it can
be thoroughly washed and kept in a
hygienic condition. The chairs should
be firmly made, with broad seats, that
they may be safe for the little people
to climb upon.
Among the few articles which may
advanta geously occupy the room, we
must not neglect to speak of the pi-
anO; it may be superannuated, anti
quated or discordant no matter, it will
constitute a never-failing source of
amusement to the children. A low,
broad seat, built across one end or
corner of the room, with a top to lift
up, makes an excellent repository for
toys that have become disabled, but
are still precious to their owners.
The nursery should have pictures
and plenty of them; but it must be re-
membered that the taste and judg-
ment of it's occupants are being form
ed, and care should be taken to pro-
vide only such works of art as natu-
rally lead to NOBLE tender, and gen
erous thoughts.
Especial regard should be paid to
