GOOD ROADS.
A Fairplains Farmer Writes About
Ii to the Banner.

While at the Good Roads convention
at Greenville heard Mr.. Lapham of
Belding make the remark, he hoped
to see the day when Belding and
Greenville would be connected with
good roads. Well that would be very
nice Mr. Lapham, but would ii not be
much nicer for you to connect Belding
with Fairplains and the northeast
with good roads so you could get the
farmers trade and produce of that
section than have it go to Greenville.
| would say yes, and so should Bedding
and now let me suggest the way /
think advisable for the city of Bel
ding TO open way for the farmers to
get to your city, go north on Bridge
street and cross the Caine farm TO
county line road, then east to Nichols
corner, then north in the farming
country where Hou want to get the
farmers produce and trade. The far.
mers are willing to help make this
road, and | have heard some OF them
say they would give from $25 to S50 to
help build this road. There is gravel
along this route to build good road,
If the city of Belding wishes to get
the farmers produce and trade they
must help make the good roads or
they will take their produce to Green
vile, where they have good roads and
a city where they are willing TO help
make them. Yours truly

EAT PLENTY OF FRUIT.
But Exercise Caution When Indulg-
ing the Luxury.


The time when fruit is plentiful
being now at hand an annual caution
regarding its use may be pertinent
accordingly. a diet specialist makes
this declaration on the subject. "The
poorest time to eat fruit is at the
conclusion of hearty dinner, when a
variety of other fruit has been already
consumed. Eat acid food in the
morning just before breakfast, taking
with it little bread and butter if
the plain food is not acceptable.
Cooked food may be eaten at any time
and much digestive disorder could be
averted if this distinction were OBJ
served Fruit is wholesome, accord
ing to the same authority, only when
it is in proper condition, ripe and
fresh Its deserved good reputation
has been much impaired by the influx
in our markets of half-ripe and stale
fruit which is about the most nm
wholesome food that can be eaten. In
general fruit is less wholesome when
eaten out Of its natural season."
