GOOD WORDS FOR THE PRUNE.
Much Maligned by Jokers But, IL
Gets There Just the Same.

If there ever was a maligned,
slandered and unjustly treated veget-
able, II is the prune. From time i'm
moral joke-writers have coupled the
prune with mother-in-law, angular
land.ady, star boarder and the other
perennials. There isn't a boarding
house in Baltimore in which some
guest has not by untimely jest hurt
the feelings of the prune. This, in
spite OF the fact that the prune is
health-giving product of Mother
Earth and an infallible remedy for
many ailments that flesh is heir to.
Given the prune, the chicken wing
and the butter, most any boarder
could make a joke. But the prune is
no joke. Sun-dried, evaporated or
parboiled for curing, the prune is a
blessing among sweets of the har-
vest. II Is a medical masterpiece, a
dietetic delight, juicy joy.
How many Baltimore boardsrs

started in the Eastern United States
In 1854 and was removed to Cali
fornia for climatic advantages in
1853, and ever since has been strid-
ing onward until America is the
greatest prune-producing county In
the world-exceeding in output even
France, where the medal was former
,ly located. How many Baltimore
seoffers know that California, Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho produce
1O0,00O,000 pounds of prunes in
1900, as against only 200, 900 pounds
in 1880, and that these four states
produce more than Servia, Germany,
Spain, Australia or South America,
the other prune countries? Why, the
lprune is an industrious element in
society, ranking with the great
American hen. Wherefore, then, the
cruel Jest?
Come, let us raise our voices high,
Our harp strings all atune-
And let our challenge sweep the sky;
Defenders OF the prune!
