Honey, which Is described as ION,

out that 1t Is only within the past few
centuries that sugar has become known
and only within the last generation
that refined sugars have become so low

used In the poorest families. Forr4er-
ly honey was the principal sweet, and
1t was highly valued 5000 years before
the first sugar refinery was built. ut
would add greatly to the health Of the
present generation" 1t Is declared, Ut
honey could be at least partially re-
stored to Its former place as a common
article OF diet"
Excessive use of sugar brings In its
train a long list Of Ills. When sugar
Is taken into the stomach 1t cannot be
assimilated until first changed by d.

often the overtaxed stomach fails prop

come sour stomach and various phases

laboratory Of the hive the honey has
been fully prepared by the bees for

either stomach or the kidneys, so that
In eating honey the digestive machinery
