Prosperity, due to its great foreign
trade, has led to the Increased use of
meat as food in England. The con-
sumption of vegetable products in like
manner has increased in the land of
the :abeefsteak eaters ;, and much at.
stention is given to athletic exercise for
the development Of the body While
in Germany the potato is largely the
principal food, the Englishman eats
green salads, vegetables and fruit.
While. on the average, each person
in England uses annually IS pounds Of
sugar, the average in Germany is less
than % pounds The difference in the
use Of fruit is about the same. Wher-
ever it is possible to use sugar and
fruit in food. this is done in England.
Germany already manufactures So
called apple butter and plum and pear
marmalade, especially in Strassburg,
Coblentz and Metz. Most of this, how
ever, does not deserve the name of
fruitsmarmalade, as it is made from
fragments left over from manufacture
OF dried fruit and fruit wine. A COM
parison of English and German wares
reveals the difference. The English
marmalade is good fruit mush and SUI
gar. The German consists of unappe-
tizing fragments without any sugar.
In England 10 per cent of starch syrup
is added; in Germany, SO to 70 per
cent, with its ingredients of sulphuric
acid, dextrin and gallisine. The Eng

The question Of the utilization of
fruit is being diseussedEa great deal in
interested circles in Germany, not be-.
cause there has been an over-produc-
ton, or that pr odueers have had any
difficulty in dispo sing Of all the fruit
they could raise. On the contrary, the
amount Of fruit produced in Germany
is much too small to meet the existing
demand. The desire stos3increase the
use. use OF fruit, and especially Of fruit
products, is based on three motives: &
For sanitary reasons, it is deemed
wise to encourage Germany to eat more
fruit and fruit products, prepared in as
many attractive forms as possible.
This. may be a sincere recommendation
on the part Of physicians, but its use
as an argument by sellers Of fruit prob
!, ably is due not entirely to disinterest-
ed concern in the physical condition Of
the German nation, which certainly
does not seem to warrant anxiety at
present. II individuals can, however,
be persuaded that an increased con
sumption of jam will affect favorably
their mental, moral or physical devel--
opment, this may aid materially an i'm
portant agricultural interest and at
the same time have stimulating effect
on the sugar industry, which is threat
ened by foreign competition and retail
iation on the one hand, and by over
production at home on the other. 1, 4.

& A German axiom is that each branch

soldier than Brig.-G Joseph Wheel
