Dangers For Timid Diners.

If one were to study the subject and
rigidly avoid eating all things that are
reputed to be bad for ones health in
one way or another. it would probably
be difficult to keep starvation at bay.
The list of things which cannot be
eaten with safety by those who have
tendency to appendicitis is a very
long one. y prominent scientist de-
clares that one of the deadliest sweet
meats is preserved ginger; but pine
apple, fresh or preserved, is almost
equally risky, while oranges. figs. rasp-
berries, in fact all fruit with pips. arc
also very dangerous eating. To still
further limit our dietary, there are a
number of other things which may not
be eaten by those who fear typhoid
fever. The oyster scare has led to sus-
picion of all other shellfish, not only
Holsters and crabs, but even the hitler
to considered harmless though neces
sary shrimps and prawns.-St. James
