Medical Food.

ga dish of apples" says a German
scientist, sis often worth dozen doc
tors prescriptions" Not in cases of
acute illness, of course, but where one
suffers from sleeplessness, indigestion
and that wearisome lassitude associ-
ated with the springtime. BY very
nice provision of nature, this fruit in
the temperate zone can be had all the
year round, and the believer in the
virtues of apples holds that we should
eat them with as much regard to
health as we eat bread and meat for
sustenance. Persons who suffer from
nervous, wakeful nights, or who are
weak throated, should make it a rule
to eat one or more apples just before
going to bed. Eat them raw, of
course, and peeled, with all the bruis~
ed spots most carefully cut out. This
simple remedy promotes sound,
healthy sleep and cleanses the throat,
or rather prevents an unpleasant col
lection of mucous in the back of ones
mouth.
An apple eaten the first thing in the
morning purifies and disinfects the
mouth, where one suffers from acidity
of the stomach. Another virtue of
the apple is that it exerts a most ex>
cellent influence on the liver and kid
neys.
Next, perhaps, in value to this fruit
is the fig, whether it be eaten fresh Or
dry. Happily the fig grows in warm
climates where the heat renders the
liver most unhealthily sluggish, and
to counteract this weakness figs
should be and are eaten freely. In
northern climates dried or pressed
figs may be had and are eaten with ex
actly the same results. In fact, so
beneficial is their effect that, with
prunes, they are now recommended
by physicians to those who endure
much from the inactivity of this par
ticular organ and wish to have treat
ment

WHAT ALEXANDRIA OFFERS.
It's Commercial, Manufacturing and
General Interests.

Its Commercial, Manufacturing and
General Interests.
The Trade Book" recently put out by the
Busires Mems League of Alexandra for
distribution in the Valley of Virginia has
to say of Alexandria:
1.-The commercial, manufacturing and
general interests of Alexandria offer in
ducements to the dealers and consumers
beyond her borders that should not be
overlooked. For convenience Of access by
land or water, railway or river, it has
no superior, and its stocks of groceries,
coal, salt, beer, cakes, crackers. candy
drugs, medicines. paints and ellis, boots
and shoes, tobacco and cigars, china and
earthenware, furnaces, stoves, agr:cultu-
raj implements, plaster and all other goods
| in completeness and fair prices leave moth
ing to be desired.
The Alexandria merchants stand alone
in the liberality with which their custom
ers are treated. 1t is F. o. B. city. Goods
are free OF charges from the salesman
to the railway or steamer agent. No
charge is made to the purchaser for pack
ing, box, bag, bale or other package in
which goods are sent out Drayage or
transportation to the car steamer is
made free. and TIE Alexandria rule is that
goods bought OF her merchants are de-
livered free on board, and cost of trans
port to the buyer begins only when the
goods have left the city en- route to their
destination.
THE Business Mems League has re-
quested, and 1t is certain the request will
be complied with. that the various Alexan-
dria establishments should instruct their
agents to make besides special efforts on
their own lines, endeavor to forward the
general trade interests of Alexandria, CIV
Ing, whenever opportunity offers, their ac-
tive good will to the whole line of Alex
aEdria enterprises, as in union there is
strength. The business men of Alexan-
dria will always meet customers with in
ducements that will attract and keep
trade.
although during last year an extensive
msEUfactory of fertilizers was much Grip
pied by a confiagration, Alexandria's work
in supplying nutriment to the crops grows
eech year. The extensive brewery is still
increasing its output and extending its
trade in all sections. The wholesale gro
Gerry trade now exceeds $1,000, 900 per an
mum. Twenty million feet of lumber Is
sent out from the Alexandria yards The
dry goods business is conducted with en-
terprise and the stocks of notions In the
various establishments of the city are
complete enough to attract country trade.
A very great expansion has been given 10
the trade in coal. plaster, and salt, and the
widening field offered by increase of rail-
ways enables Alexandria now to supply an
immense area Of the south and west. The
china trade offers special attractions and
the stock of hardware is ample for all de-
mards. The tobacco manufactures of
Alexandra are constantly increasing their
output and offer most favorable terms"
