Hon. A, B, Hundley, of Col

Food Value of Fruits.

Fresh fruits contain so to 90 per
cent of water, no proteid or fat, and
when ripe little or no starch. They
owe their nutritive quality to the
sugar they contain-which varies
from 10 to 90 per cent in lemons,
currants, cranberries, bananas and
grapes, from 60 to 70 per cent in
raisins, figs, dates and prunes-and
to their organic salts and mineral
compounds, which are essential to
pure blood and sound tissues.
Fruit only when perfectly sound
and ripe is fit to eat. Unripe fruit
is dangerously indigestible and over
ripe fruit is poisonous from the bac-
terra it contains. As rule, fruit is
best cooked. Especially is this 50
when it is to be given to children.
All fruit should be eaten in modera-
ton. Do not imagine because it il
watery an unlimited quantity can be
consumed.
Fruit is most wholesome at the
beginning of meal or at the end
Of one that has included no dessert.

Once there was a newspaper
man who died without having
made any enemies. But his
demise occurred before the first
issue of his paper. No fellow can
conduct a paper forty eight hours
without writing something which
somebody does not wish published.
And that somebody is usually a
fellow whom the editor has
obliged over and over again.
Henry Ward Beecher once said
that an epitaph she had no
enemies" would apply most
fittingly to a cabbage head.

their success by the enemies they

Hints on Keeping Jam.

People often find their jams DO
rot keep well. They sometimes fer
ment or turn moldy, and either the
fruit, the place they were stored in
or the sugar is blamed. The fault,
however, lies in themselves. The
secret of success lies in never leaving
the preserving pan for one moment
from the commencement of the pep-
ceedings and not to skim the fruit.
Put, as rule, one pound of sugar
to each pound of fruit, and stir the
whole well from the moment it is
put on the fire. AS the scum rises
and when boiling has begun, stir
mors vigorously. After a time tho
scum begins 20 boil itself clear. When
quite clear, the jam thickens. Then
take the pan off the fire and put the
jam into warmed jars. All the
jams made this way are bright and
clear, even if some of the fruit has
been gathered on a damp day. Red
currants and raspberry jellies ara
managed in the same way and with
the same satisfactory result. Never
skim the jelly, but let it boil itself
clear. Fifty minutes is ample time
for preserving ten pounds of fruit,
allowing 20 minutes for brisk boil
ing.
