Food Value Of Honey and Why 1T Should
be Eaten.
BY DR.. c. G. MILLER.

About so lbs. of sugar on the
average is annually consumed by
every man, woman, snd child in
Honey as a the United
Wholesome Food. States. Of
course, many use less than the
average, but to make up for 1t
some consume several times as
much. 1t is only within the last
few centuries that sugar has be-
come known, and only within the
last generation that refined sugars
have become so low in price that
they may be commonly used IN the
poorest families. Formerly honey
was the principal sweet, and it
was one of the items sent as pro-
pitiatory offering by Jacob to his
unrecognized son, the chief ruler
Of Egypt, three thousand years be-
fore the first sugar-retln cry was
built.
It would be greatly for the
health of tie present generation it
honey could be at least partially
restored to it's former place as a
common article of diet. The al
most universal craving for sweats
of some kind shows a real need Of
the system in that direction. but
the excessive use of sugar brings
in it's train long list of ills.
Besides the various disorders of
the aIimentary canal, that dread
scourge, BrigEt's disease of the
kidneys, is credited with being
one of the results of sugar-eating.
