THE TOMATO AS A FOOD.

Many years ago tomatoes we're pop
ularly known as love apples" or
Jerusalem apples" The prejudice
against them and the belief that they
would, II eaten, cause sickness and
even death, seems to have been
fixed In the minds of the multitude.
Botanists say that the old.time
ideas about tomatoes being harmful
probably arose from the fact that the
plant belongs to the nightshade fam.
lily. But outside OF the poisonous
qualities charged. a whole lot Of silly
superstitions have been saddled on
II by the weak and credulous. AZ a
single proof Of the persistence OF
this evil ignorance, may be cited the
fact that within recent months, a
New York newspaper published
long article on tomatoes as a provo.
catiye OF the dead disease in question.
An illustration OF the absurdity OF
this mischievous belief Is given by
the Hon. w. Russell. the English med
lcal authority and author. In his well.
known work on Diet and II Relation
TO Disease" In the book he treats
at length on cancer. gives statistics
regarding II from localities all over
the world. and appends list Of diets
by which the disease may be pre-.
vented. checked, or cured. and In the
majority Of these diets he gives u
prominent place to tomatoes as n
