The Advantages of Fruit Eating.

At recent fruit growers associa-
ton was read asking cooperation to
establish an ''apple day" naming date
in the fall. Another number called for
Pear day. Peach day. Strawberry day,
etc. until there would he a fruit day
every day in the year.
Fruit eating is no new thing III
Florida. We need It here and in sum-
mer it is the only healthful diet yet
found. The writer has said:
We are constantly striving TO learn
what constitutes the best balanced
ration for our COWS. our work horses,
and our hens. To do their best in
production of milk. labor or eggs. the
promotion of vigorous health must be
the first consideration. And why do
not we humans also need balanced
ratiOnS' to promote physical and men
tai vigOr for the performance of our
higher duties to ourselves and the
world around us? The Almighty has
created an almost endless variety of
wholesome and delicious fruits and
vegetables, and He must have designed
them for our general consumption,
since He has given them fIavors so
pleasing to our normal sense of taste
and so wonderfully adapted them to
the promotion of our bodily health and
comfort. And if so, is not the gospel
of fruit eating a most worthy object
to proclaim?
To all this we add our ''amen.' and
say keep telling the people OF the
benefits of fruit diet
