IMPROVEMENTS At
BERKELEY SPRINGS
President Willard and Other g. & o.
Officials Visit Place and Promise
Some 5~etterments.

Berkeley Springs, w. Va, June g.
Berkeley Springs, enjoyed the great
est treat in the history Of the place
from a railroad point Of view, by a
visit of President Willard of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company,
who dropped into town Monday after
noon, together with Vice-President
Potter, General Superintendent Blaser,
A. w. Thompson. maintenance Of way,
and Mr.. Voorhees,, assistant to the pres
ident.
II appears that President Willard
with a special train of six cars filled
with railroad officials was making a
tour of inspection and, leaving the
train at Hancock station. boarded the
Berkeley Springs train to look over
this branch and incidentally consider
some of the complaints that have been
so rife here of late.
We are reliably informed that Mr..
Willard very forcibly expressed him
self in regard to the many millions
that he had promised to expend in
West Virginia and that a few thousand
could be very proftably spent on this
branch.
We are also informed that State
Senator McIntire is entitled to some
credit for this visit from the active
part and interest he has taken for the
betterment of u little road and the
place in general.
Supt. Drfscol has been here several
times and has expressed himself as
being very much pleased with the
place and has frequently expressed
the opinion that some very much
needed repairs and improvements
were necessary here and they would
surely be made in the near future.

INTERESTING NOTES
FOR THE HOUSEHOLD
Study Of Fruit c~omponents Helpful
to Proper and HesIthful Use
Good Things to Know.

A little study will show a housewife
what are the properties of different
fruits, and which are best to use in
her household. Children ought always
to be taught how to use fruits. All
skins sould be rejected in fruits such
as grapes, apples, pears, plums, goose
berries. They are obstructive, and
may lead to internal complaints. They
always upset digestion.
The flesh or pulp of all fruit IS good.
Most valuable salts of m~agnesia, lime,
potash, iron are contained in most
fruits, together with a great deal of
acid. The salts v~itaiize and purify
the blood; the acid corrects ~noxious
acids and renders the blood not acid,
but, as it should be. alkaline.
Grapes have potash and tartarlc
acid, together with a great percentage
of sugar. They act most |benefcially
on the blood, cleanse the system,
make the skin pure and free from
blemishes, and are very good for
dyspetics. Bananas are nearly all
u~ourishment, are free from fibre, and
are recommended for use by those
with delicate digestive powers.
Tomatoes are also fruit rich in pot
ash, especially good for the blood. and
with a marked action on digestive OPP
e~rations. They provide alkaline ma
ter for the bile. and are wholesome for
people who suffer from iaundice or
sick headache.
Lemons are excellent for curing
colds or ~allaying feverishness. Their
citr'c acid supplies the blood with a
cooling agent, making this fruit a
febrifuge. Oranges act in the same
way. but with. slightly less strength.
The sugar of fruit Is directly abb
sorbable. Grapes, strawberries and
cherries have the most.
Malic acid is particularly helpful to
the body, and apples, pears, plums,
| peaches, cherries all contain II. To
matoes also contain it. Strawberries
are the richest of fruit. and their acid
is a delicate blend Of citric and malic
acid mixed in such proportions as to
be a quite new acid.
Red fruits are richest in iron. The
valuable tartrate OF potash is present
naturally in grapes. Cranberries are
/ given to sufferers from e~rysipelas,
over which disease the fruit has
soothing power. Blackberries have a
tonic action. and they brace up the
whole system. Black currants have
also a curing power and have virtue
over colds. Apples are soothing to
the nervous system. and are a specific
when taken in quantity. for indiges
ton. They act b%enefcially, too, in
rheumatism.
Figs are excellent laxatives for chill
dren, and their sugar is the richest
glucose. ~Pineapples contain a spe
cial peptogen. which mingles with the
food eaten and aids digestion.
Seeds Of fruit never digest; neithei
do skins. Stones swallowed are dan
gerous, ne~cesslating operations. |
swallowed the person must immedi
ately take a basin Of thick Cruel o.
bread and milk so as to surround tbs
stone and carry it away harmless
