When the water rises in winter It overflows these places and the moss acts .,4s d gold-saver.

 I1l their instructive eXperlmenthi work the agricultural stations have ls- sued d bulletin on the food advantages of milk and apples not only Tor chll- dren but for grown-up people. Though no one would think so from looking a' fluid glass of milk and solid apple the percentage of solids and water m apples and in milk is almost the same. apples beng S5 per cent Watef' anu milk S6 per cent. There Is more sugar fin apples and more acid in milk. A dlet of both apples and milk is one or the most wholesome and well balanced. The potash contents of both are higl. They are the best food for brain. none o,d muscle nourishment. and i'll theif effect upon the nerves they are sooth- ing. In skimminc milk the cream re. move, lessens the fat Derre"fage. a"'' for older paople or fat children the sLim milk is equally desirable. in some cases hetter. In eating arnles the skin too should he eaten. Fareu ap- nles are not so nutritious. as the asi' contents of the apnle skin arc valu' able to the human system.
 No doubt every housewife has oD served the change which is produced fin meat by salt. It seems asff a sud den heat had shrivelled the flesh. Ine thres contract. the volume of the meat is sensibly reduced, and the juice runs out of the pores. Ihus II is that scientists account for the fact that. although the salt may be per . fectly dry. it is nevertheless dissolved by the meat juices into Urine. rms extraction of the meat juices would III itself cause no great harm. but t"e salt dissolves out the albumin. nnt< phOric acid, potash and crentln or tn'' desh--substances which constitute th' most important nutrients. The harm done. therefore, consists in r0l>bing the meat not only of it's fluids. but also t| tine very constituents that the human body needs for the preservation 0i health. This is why long feeding on salted meats ultimately causes dis case. Vegetables containing potash salts and little common salt are thei, needed to ranair the ravnges that the bodv has suffered. If we cannot live on upsalted food. neither can we thrive, on salted meat. robbed of it's invalT- able potash.
