Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1905-04-28

There are many popular but I'M
founded prejudices against the dietic
use Of, fruits. 1t Is generally sup
posed, for example. that fruits are
conducive to bowel disorders, and
that they are especially prone to pro-
duce indigestion If taken at the last
meal. The truth is the very opposite
Of these notions. An exclusive diet
Of fruit is one of the best-known rem
edies for chronic bowel disorders.
During the late war, large numbers
Of the soldiers suffering from chronic
dysentery were in several instances
rapidly cured when abundantly sup
piled with ripe peaches. Fruit juice
may be advantageously used in both
acute and chronic bowel disorders.
Care must be taken, however, to
avoid fruit juices which contain
large amount of cane sugar. Juices
OF sweet fruits should be employed,
or mixture of sour and sweet fruit
juices, or acid fruit juice may be
sweetened with malt honey or mel
tose, natural sweet produced from
cereals. Raisins, figs, prunes, sweet
apples and pears may be mixed with
sour fruits.
Indigestion sometimes results from
the use of fruits in combination with
a variety of other food substances;
but fruits taken alone constitute the
best possible menu for the last meal
of the day. The combination of fruit,
sugar, cream, bread, butter cake and
pie may well produce bad dreams and
a bad taste in the mouth in the morn
Ing. The use of fresh or stewed fruit
alone without any addition whatever
will produce no disturbance, and will
leave no unpleasant effects behind to
be regretted in the morning. very
acid fruits sometimes disagree with
persons who have an excess of acid
and those who are suffering from
chronic Inflammation of the stomach;
but with these exceptions, there is al
most no case in which fruit may not
be advantageously used.
The notion that acid fruits must be
avoided by rneumatlcS is anotner or
TOR which is based on inaccurate OBJ
servations. The fact is, rheumatics
are greatly benefited by the use OF
fruit. At the same time they should
abstain from the use of flesh foods of
all sorts, beef tea and animal broths,
and all meat preparations, also tea
and coffee, as well as alcohol and to-
bacco. 1t is, of course, possible for
one to take an excess of acids, as one
may take an excess of starch or any
other food substances. Vegetable
acids differ from mineral acids in the
fact that they do not accumulate in
the body, but are assimilated or util-
lied in the same way as sugar and al
lied substances.

Frances Willard and Fashionable
Dress.

Said Frances Willard in one OF her
last addresses, speaking Of the ad-
yancement and present status Of
women:
But be it remembered that until
woman comes to her kingdom physi-
cally she will never really come at all.
Created to be we'll and strong and
beautiful, she long ago sacrificed her
constitution, and has ever since been
living on her bylaws She has made
of herself an hourglass, whose sands
of life passed quickly by. She has
walked when she should have run,
sat when she should have walked re-
clined when she should have sat.
She has allowed herself to become a
mere lay figure upon which could be
fastened any hump or hoop or far
thingale that fashion-mongers show;
and Outlines her head is mere ro-
lazy ball upon which milliners may
pe~ch whatever they please-be 1t a
bird of paradise, or beast or creeping
thing. She has bedraggled her sense

ton of filth the street presented, sub
hitting to a motion the most awk-
ward and degrading known to the en-
tire animal kingdom, for Nature has
endowed all others that carry trains
nd trails with the power Of lifting

A Substitute for Leather.

An English inventor has devised a
perfect substitute for leather which
can be used for boots, shoes and for
every other purpose for which leather
is employed. The new tissue is called
wolff. 1t is being extensively used
in England, having been adopted by
the London Shoe Company especially
for walking shoes on account of its
GOODNESS and its lightness. Wolff is
more durable than leather and is
much more waterproof, while at the
same time more porous, which makes
1t a nonconductor, and to large de-
gree obviates the necessity for wear
ing rubbers which are needed by one
whose feet are clad with leather only
when the slush and mud is so deep
that the feet are half buried at every
step.

Saved at Last Moment.

At Affecting, in Bavaria, there has
just taken place the almost unique
event of the death penalty being re-
spited almost at the very hour fixed
for it's execution. The condemned
person was a man named Allmanse'
der, convicted of the murder of an
old woman and boy, who had on the
day preceding that fixed for his execu.
ton lodged an appeal, naming as the
real murderer another person named
Huber, who, he said, had been con-
victed of another offense at time
and place stated. The appeal court
having verified this fact, sent an or
der to suspend the execution, and the
order was received at few minutes
before the hour.
