\ remarkable announcement conios
from Wisconsin, Dr. Samuel Bailey
who road O. valuable papor on the
subject before % recent meeting OF tho
Iowa state horticultural Society. made
tho interesting statement that the APP
pie 10 not alone staple article of dict.
but a means 81 control over tho abHlr-
NAL appetite for strong drink
The Doctor began by observing that
&c ls not many years since applss were
regarded "a a sort Of thing "to amuse
chrdron and keep them stuffed and
still" but az the present time we are
beginning Ia study apples and snslyze
them. u IL not long since that n was
diTiomt 90 nnd scientific chemical nm
alysls % such common articles Of dlst
as apples. cabbage and tumIps.
The composition u tho ordinary apple
Is shown 70 be about az follows. water

hvdrates n percent The carbo-hydrates
consist Of celulose. sugar and starch,
the starch being IN tho largest guam
tity The mineral matters arc by no
means insignificant. containing malates
OF sodium and potassium and there is
also IN apples a considerable quantity
Of phosphates
In discussing the ordinary digestive
process OF apples, the Doctor added
that the salts and water portions are
absorbed by the stomach. the iutestin-
nj Juices not ON the starches and sugars
and also digest 60 some extent the cel-
Iulose Il makes quite difference
whether apples are cooked NJ ruw. n
cooked. the cclmloso granules woull
be broken up and tho starch liberated,
thus making these portions more u.s.
simuable
II was next shown that an ounce Of
apples will give about eighteen calorcs
NJ energy. They compare not very UNI
favorably with potatoes, which give
twenty-four calorics uf energy % each
ounce An ounce OF bread will furnish
seventy calorics. Roughly speaking four
OUNCES OF apples are about equal 60 one
ounce Of bread. An ounce of cabbage
will furnish three and one half calortcs
SO that. roughly speaking, the food
value Of apples is about six times that
| OF cabbage.
After thus demonstrating than apples
possess many Of the elements common
| Co other foods, and noticing their value
/ aa "rough1gc" I'm producing digestive
activity and Intestinal stimulation, tho
Doctor stated specifically that the APP

apple caters will not contract scurvy,
nor be afflicted with constipation. Tho
most important and unusual part Of
