New Fountain of Youth.
The following story of the import
ance of the apple as beautifier has
been prepared by a member of the
Apple Day" committee:
"The Japanese fountain of eternal
health and beauty was the big red ap-
pie Upon it they rested their desti-
nies so far as long life and health
were concerned. The Japanese maid
ems whose beauty of form and fairness
of skin are the envy of all the fair
sex of the orient, worshipped the ap
pie for its wonderful powers as pur
ifier of the human system. The Won
derful acrobatic feats accomplished by
the people of the Japanese nation
were made possible by the diet of ap-
pies from which they obtained their
steadiness of nerve.
'As food for the ancient gods the
apple ranked highest. For the main
stay in the Garden of Eden the apple
was highly priced, owing to its lucious
flavor and its health giving qualities.
The poets of all ages, at all times,
have sung of its wonderful powers,
and there is no country where its
presence is unknown. When Cleopa-
ira of Egypt, the most renowned |
beauty of ancient times, conceived the !,
idea of eclipsing all her kind in the |
beauty of the face, she applied to the |
high priest for instructions. The high |
priest consulted the gods, and turning
to Cleopatra told her to eat ripe raw
apples exclusively for breakfast. This
she did, and became the most famous
beauty of all times.
Another Aid to Beauty.
Although a myth, we know that the
gods do not err in their judgment, for
)y persistently and wisely using the
lpple, the fundamental principles up
IN which beauty is based will be
greatly aided; that is, the apple, used
according to the best interests, will

marvellous power of awakening to ]

"The apple containing mallic acid,
,hich utilizes the excess chalky ma
erial which is caused by eating too t
luch meat, helps to keep us young. /
nd in order to have us appear young,
ur compilations must be clear and of t

horus, and this is supplied by the ap- v
lie in a we'll prepared form, and more u
)undantly than in all other fruits. C
"In order to supply the delicate taste "
different individuals, the apple may r
, served in a number of different Il
avs. There are 209 dishes which are t,
