PRESERVED FRUITS AS MEDICINE

According to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture the balanced
ration of many Americans today is
made up about as follows:
Bread, butter, eggs. meat and fish,
potatoes, patent medicine laxatives.
Many Americans customarily
suffer from one of the following COM
plants: - Indigestion, constipation,
rheumatism. A simple change of
the daily menu might go a long way
to remedy these ailments, according
to the Bureau of Plant Industrys
specialist in charge of Canning Club
work. This specialist recommends a
change TO a menu more in keeping
with natures method, something as
follows:
Bread, butter, fruit, vegetables
greens, meat, fish, eggs.
He recommends that every family
provide diet of fruit and vegetables
for every day in the year. Thi!

appeared in a city newspaper not long

The writer wants "genteew work,
notice. He does not say that he wants
hard work or honest work. To his
credit be it said that he asks for
work
But it must be "genteel."
There is no definition of gentility In
the advertisement, but the presump-
ton is strong that the applicant wants
work that will not soil his hands. He
wants employment of the sort that
will not flower him in the eyes Of his
friends"
He wants work such as is not gen.

There exist many methods of treatment
which have sometimes produced ameli
orations. Nearly all the anti-cancerous
serums have produced results Of this
kind. How are we to explain their action?
The volume of many tumors is greatly In
creased by the blood which fills them like
a soaked sponge. 4 medicament which
reduces the blood supply by vaso-constric-
ton will suffice to diminish greatly the
apparent mass of the tumor. I have
found that simple fever by using up a
large amount OF hydrocarbons in the
system will diminish the food supply OF
the cancer. The serums introduced into
the body usually produce notable in
creases Of temperature, form of fever
