No. S--Apples

h The mystery as to just why
Adam bit into the apple still re-
mains unearthed despite our Ia
nous Nick Caricrs, Sherlock
Holmescs or any historic de-
tectives who may have solved the
enigma of the stolen halchet or
shadowcd IN wscrupulous cave
man whose vile was seeking
grounds ior divorce proceedings.
Mayhap that bite was prompted
because OF Adams thirst. This
does not sound logical, and no
doubt needs little explanation,
which hes in the fact that apples
are known to be more liquid than
solid. In fact, they are about IS
/ per cent, water. Hence when
Adam looked around for a handy
spring and found none, he may
have accepted the apple to satisfy
his thirst. Then again, he may
have become tired of just plain
water as a drink and in lieu Of
mint juiep or a martini cocktail,
which at that time, OF course, were
still intricate Inventions of the dim
future, he probably took the apple
by way Of a change.
Be that as il may. there is more
truth than fiction to the saying:
AN apple a day keeps the doctor
away Although probably not
