SEE THAT THE FRUIT is RIPE
Bananas and Apples Especially Are
Unfit to Eat II They Have Least
Suspicion of Greenness.

A fact of special interest at this
time of year is that some of the COM
monest fruits contain starch instead
of sugar until they have fully ripened.
Raw starch is very indigestible, which
explains the frequent necessity for
"green-apple medicine"
Most conspicuous in respect to their
starch content are bananas and ap-
pies. Reports from the National Bu-
reau Of Chemistry show that Baldwin
apples examined contained more than
4 per cent. of starch while green, less
than one-quarter Of 1 per cent. when
ripe, and none at all when overripe.
The percentage of sugar, on the other
hand. had increased more than four
times, showing that all the starch had
been converted into sugar during the
ripening process. Bananas show SINH
lar changes as they ripen.
These facts teach us that only thor
oughly ripe fruits are most suitable
for eating raw; that scarcely ripenes
apples and bananas, like gooseberries
and currants, are best adapted to cook
ing: and that all persons who eat raw
fruits should chew them thoroughly
on account of the starch they are liz
bic to contain.

Rasmus s. Midget, of the Gull

south, on horseback, at three in the

horse for direction, for the darkness
OF the night was impenetrable, and the
feeble glow of his lantern would have
revealed nothing but the violent wa

as he made his slow progress enough
light filtered through the clouds to
let him discover boxes and barrels
and wreckage coming ashore. He
knew that meant wreck somewhere
in the neighborhood. The question
"Where?" could be solved only by
pushing ahead
1t was two miles farther on. after
an hour and half's struggle on the
part of his horse, that he finally
