By way OK clearing decks for action,
let me say THAI. In my humble opinion.
there is no one article of food or class of
foods which Is digestible by every hu-
man stomach. Even milk, pronounced
by common consent to be the most near
ly perfect food, disagrees actively with
some people. 1t ensenders bile, causes
heartburn, and refuses to be assimiIated
by the gastric t-ltces. II Is equally true
that nuts are not wholesome for every
body. They cause distressing fatulence
in some otherwise healthy systems, and
tend TO constipation, while the oils
which enter largely into their compost
ton are provocative of pimples and
other eruptions. There is hardly one
person in ten who can digest easily raw
nuts Even the boys to whom autumn
