In the New York Medical Record IN.
8. A. Knopf OF New York advocates a
liberal use of water In the prevention
and cure OF tuberculosis. He advances
a plea for public baths for old and
young and also for swimming pools in
connection with the schools. He holds
that a glass OF clear, cool water taken
half an hour before meals Is the best
appetizer and stimulant for the gastric
secretions and that this is a gospel TO
be spread and practiced n little more
freely by the medical profession. He
says 1.-THE money n municipality in

seaside baths and swimming pools will

lives, directly and indirectly-indirect-

Psr.lmmona as Food.

The only fruit, says n bulletin OF
the department of agriculture, which
equals the perslmmon In IFS value an
a food Is the date. Nevertheless many
persons with fine persimmon trees In
their possession are allowing the fruit
to go to waste. either through ig-
norance OF the many usN to which II
may be put or through prejudice.
There Is saying In the persimmon
country that persimmons are good for
dogs, hogs and 'possums. This, how
ever, is declared to be a gross injustice
to very valuable product
One reason for the neglect of this
fruit is the mistaken idea that per-
simmons are unfit to eat until they
have been touched by frost. As a
matter OF fact, much of the best fruit
Is lost every year because II ripens and
falls to the ground, where, not being
touched by frost, 1t is left 10 rot. Such
persimmons as are not edible before
frost comes are a late variety of the
fruit, and the reason that they pucker
the mouth is because they have not
yet ripened. In general, the best fruit
is that which ripens just before the
leaves fall.
