HyEfenic Value of Eruft.

AS0ACnAC value OF Fruit.
Hygienists all agree in telling us
that we do not eat sufficient fruit
which is infinitely more productive of
health and beauty than candy and
pastry: Ripe apples are especially
healthy, and children may eat them
without danger. Some doctors saw
that an apple at bedtime produces
sleep. Pears are more tasty than an
pies, but not so healthy unless cooked.
Prunes have medicinal qualities which
cannot be denied. They are better
cooked, however. Apricots are also
more healthy cooked than raw,
Peaches are very healthy. The most
healthy of all fruit, however. are
grapes. Gooseberries and currants are
best cooked. Figs are also exc.s;xnt:
they were in great favor with ancient
Roman ladies, who always ate them
for breakfast. Pineapples are said to
be the best cure for dyspepsia vet
known. Nuts of all kinds are indigest-
ible. Oranges are also excellent as 8
cure for dyspepsia. Lemons produce
cheerfulness and prolong life. :,
