Why Fruit lie Laxative.

Apart from the sugar value of fruits
there Is another benefit that is common
knowledge-their laxative effect. Few
fruits act as actual purgatives. Their
mildly laxative effect is due largely to
the presence of cellulose. Il woody fiber.
This cellulose is httle, IL any, absorbed
into the system, but It's presence i'm the
Intestine acts as a mechanical irritant
or stlmulant. Fruit, therefore, should
be literally supplied in all dietaries
where laxative effects are desired.

similar way through the presence Of

though vegetables might be relied upon

heat uses five hundred watts. but In
general chatting dishes are used about
twenty or thirty minutes at time. and
the making of a rabbit would cost PA
cents for the heat consumed. This COM
putation applies to different electrical
cooking utensils. and in order to know
what 1t costs to run all or part of the
stove, simple addition and multiplica-

In using the electric stove, il the
same amount of care is used as in

costs cents per thousand watts and
gas 81 per thousand feet, the cost for
the electricity is about two-thirds more
than for gas: where the electricity costs
10 cents, II costs three times as much
as gas. But this is not all the story;
convenience, cleanliness, little heat
thrown off and no poisonous products,
have to be counted also.
