Macedonia of Fruit Delicate Cake
During the last few years no one
class of food in the daily diet has
so increased, and that deservedly. in
popularity. as fruit in its various
forms. People are beginning to I'M
derstand either from their own expe-
rience or the experience of their fellow
sufferers that a diet of less meat
and more fruit and vegetables is con-
dueive to more internal comfort and
a longer lease of life. Nor is this all:
the butchers bill. which is usually the
heaviest on the list of food supplies,
shrinks materially when fruit and
vegetables are substituted. For those
who like variety the list of delectable
dishes and combinations mainly COM
posed of fruits is a wide one that
IL - -...r-s-
ments made last year on strict fruit
arians under the direction of the Cal
ifornia agricultural experiment station
it was borne out that during twenty
eight days six persons of varying ages
and sexes lived comfortably and sat
isfactorily on diet composed solely
of fruits, nuts, olive oil and honey,
some of them eating only twice dur
ing the day, while others ate three
meals at the regular hours.
During this test the bodies of those
who lived on this diet were supplied
with the needed protein and energy
and maintained their normal health
and strength az cost of from 1871 to
AZ cents per day in accordance with
the amount eaten.
From this it may be argued that
fruitarian diet can be justified on the
grounds of economy, and food value as
well as palatability are esthetic consid-
erations. With all their food value.
however, fruits are not recommended,
hit or miss, as cures for indigestion
and other ills that flesh is he1r~to. but
rather as the proverbiaI ounce of pre-
vention- In farmers bulletin No. 2e3,
which was issued last year by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, there is q series Of tables COM
pairing the cost Of total nutrients and
energy in fruits and other food mate
rails at certain average prices This
will be found both interesting and in
struetiye.
THE PINEAPPLE CURE.

Day, drink pineapple juice. 1t is the
grandest tonic that nature has yet Of
