FRESH AND COOKED FRUIT
IL Serves to Keep the Blood Cool
and Also in a Healthy
Condition.

Fruit and fruit juices keep the blood in
a healthy condition when the supply of
fresh meat, fish and vegetables is limited
and salt or smoked meats constitute the
chief elements of diet. Fresh fruit is gem
orally more appetizing and refreshing than
cooked. For this reason II is often eaten
in too large quantities and frequently when
underripe or overripe; but when Of good
quality and eaten in moderate quantities
it promotes healthy intestinal action and
rarely hurts anyone.
II eaten immodeTately, uneooked fruit Is
apt to induce intestinal disturbances. II
eaten unripe IL often causes stomach and
intestinal irritation: overripe, It has a
tendency to ferment in the aIimentary
canal. Cooking changes the character and
flavor Of fruit, and while the product Is
not so cooling and refreshing as in the
raw state, II can as a rule. be eaten with
less danger OF causing stomach or intes-
final trouble, II sugar be added TO the
cooked fruit the nutritivs value will be
increased. A large quantity OF sugar spells
the flavor Of the fruit and Is likely TO
make It less easily digestsd.

of brick and stone buildings for flats,

of remodeling is also to be done and the
outlook at the Building exchange is for a
heavy fall work. Several $780, 600 apartment
houses are to be erected, three or four
residences costing from $4,000 to $4,000
and a number of Jobs for real estate firms
who are erecting a large number of small
houses. Several school buildings are still
employing many workers, and there is a
probability Of work starting on two
churches and a bank building.
To secure material is something Of a
problem with some contractors. Garrett
Mulder, who Is erecting the Bacon flats
at Seventeenth and Cunning streets, paid
off his force Friday because he could not
get brick, but expects to begin again Mon
day. This building was originally planned
for an all-flat building, but the Increase
in demands for business property on Cum
ing street had led the owner to change
the plans somewhat. The building will have
three store rooms on Cunning street and
three flats on Seventeenth street.
In all parts of the city there are signs
OF building activity, which will give en-
ployment to many workers until Christ
mas.

Strange Experiments Of a Russian
Physiological as 70 the Mature
Of Death,

A curious series Of experiments on
the persistencies OF life in fishes has
been Conducted by Prof. Konliabko,
Psychologist at Tomsk, from which he
deduees that even decapitation does
not produce instantaneous death OF
the tissues, but merely cessation OF
funcHoning for lack Of nutrition and
oxygen supply conveyed through the
blood
His most conclusive experiment
was performed by cutting a fish in
two just below the heart. The two
parts Of the body showed signs Of
life for two or three minutes, in the
form OF muscular contractions in both
parts and attempts to breathe by the
upper one. Then they became mo-
tionless, but even yet the upper sec.
ton was far from dead
The professor had ready nutrI
tive solution strongly charged with
oxygen, and using this he started ar.
tihcial circulation in the upper sec
ton Of the fish. The heart began to
beat and the gills to viBrate; the
muscles became active and the mouth
opened and closed. In word, the
functions Of all the organs seemed
to be completely restored. The fish
had not been dead at all. but had
merely been suffering from extreme
anaemia.
This stimulation was maintained
for several hours, the fish exhibiting
but in diminishing degree, all the
characteristics Of life. Real death
gradually took possession OF the or.
ganism. The cells became diseased
or old. The power OF the heart, how.
ever, was marvellous. 1t retained its
power to beat, Prof, Konliabko as.
serts, sometimes for an entire day
after all sensltiveness had disappear.
ed from the nervous centres. These
died themselves after different peri.
DDS of resistance, the more highly or.
ganized ones in the surface Of the
brain losing power long before the
deeper seated ones.
The professor hopes 20 formulate
from his observations important theo.
ries as to the essential nature Of life
and the causes OF death. He thinks
they may help physicians to find
means Of preventing death in cases
where the general tissues Of the body
have not lost vitality and where the
danger arises from injury or organic
lesion or a condition Of disease which
can be eradicated II life can be main
tanned long enough for the purpose
