Apple Most hsaithfui.
THE apple Is the most healhtful OF
all foods, for 1t contains not only the
best chemical elements. but the pure

the use Of apples as daily food the
ancient vikings retained their youth
and long life. and the gods are said to
have preserved their immortality by
their Use. They are best Just az nature

Apple Royal Food.
NO wonder the nncients assigned
the apple as the fruit for the gods and
believed that it's juices furnished the
nectar which the gods used to restore
their youth. Men and women are the
gods Of today and the apple their royal
food. 1t is my firm conviction that
horticultural food, given our race dur
ing the past century. has done more
to prolong human life than all the 9TH
er foods combined. A little over 100
years ago, the average human life was
but twenty-six years, half a century

third, while today insurance statistics
show that 1t is q little over forty years.
There are doubtless many causes for

lar activity does In rushing this life
stream and forcing out the injurious
elements that shorten life. harden the
tissue, lessening the amount Of animal
matter, and increase rigidity and old
age.
The true mission Of horticulture Is
to usher in a new era upon our planet.
When the race shall not only outgrow
old age and sickness. but reach such
a great longevity that death shall al
most be forgotten, and beautiful
blooms and fruiting orchards cover the
uns;ghtly and fogotten graveyards.
This is the high and scientific mission
Of horticulture In years to come: that
this long life for our race shall yet be
created ia no idle dream, but this ideal
shall become real"
