Fruit-Eatino as a Water Supply.

Most fruits contain from Is to 95
per cent water, and balance of
woody fiber or cellulose, fruit sugar
md minerals. Thus the free use of
fruit daily insures greater supply
Of water to the body, says the Popular
Science Monthly.
The celluIose of the fruit supplies
bulk and a mechanical stimulation
which promotes waste elimination.
Acid fruits, such as oranges, lemons,
lines and most berries, contain GER
