INGREDIENTS in Apples.
Fruit men use the slogan "an apple
a day keeps the doctor. away and
some have cried dcrision against the
vegetable men IAN onion a day will
keep everyone away" but the first
slogan contains more truth than fic-
ton. In a recent article in Fruit and
Farm, which are assimilated in the
digestive roccsses are clearly set
forth.
When you MUNICH an apple, you are
taking into your body gallic acid.
which is one Of the most necessary
elements for the human body. You
are eating sugar in it's most health
z ful form, combined with phosphorus
4 in the only form in which it is avail
able as a source of brain and nerve
energy. You are eating gum all1ed
to the fragrant medicinal gums OF
Arabia" You are drinking the pur-
est water that Nature can distil, anG
! last, but not least, you are eating the
4 most healthful and desirable fibre
! that is obtainablc. In feeding live
stock as opposed to human beings, VIC
call this roughage, and a good stock
man realizes the Importance of a.
bundant and healthful roughage. AL
though apple day has passed in reali-
ty, like Christmas, it's spirit should
be continued throughout the entire
season of harvest and far into the
winter. This year we must eat 1000,
600 bushels of apples which woulc
ordinarily be taken across the water
and we must eat them in place of
and not in addition to a great deal OF
other food.
