FRUITS As FOOD.

Some food analyses which have been
vn,ade by the California. North Dakota
and some other experiment stations
rshow quite clearly that apples and
sother fruits have a food value that
rBhould commend them for use Arm tine
average family entirely apart from
the fact Of their fine flavor and the
relish with which they are eaten by
the average person. These expert
ments show that fruits are fairly cheap
sources OK energy and are TO de- com
iaended on the ground Of economy for
combination An proper quantities with
heap proteId foods to furnish bal
aRced ration. 1t has been found that

20 the body. 10 cents worth Of porter
ulOuSe steak furnishes 444 units, while
40 cents worth OF dried beans fur

this lt win be seen that apples as wen

Thinks hiRe=TeRth5 Of People Of }tdtU
 Favor Plan
Denies That He Ever Favored Annexation By Force,
 Says It Is Canard
By Associated Press.


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. ?. - Speaker Champ Clark arrived at the capital today after spending seventeen weeks on literary speaking tour. He stated that the coming session which opens Monday is to be of great i'm portance and a very busy one.
 He believes the tariff to be the overshadowing issues. He declared the democrats now present a united front and are sure of victory.
 Speaking of the reports he favored the annexation of Canada by force. Clark said it was the greatest eanard printed since movable type was in vented. He never thought or dream ed of such a thing and would oppose it with all the force he had.
 He did say he hoped the two eoun- tries could mutually agree to combine as one nation, but since Canada has shown it did not care to do so, that ended it. But if Canadians wished it, he believed that nine-tenths of the population of the United States favor the plan.
