Apples

Apples are sovereign remedies.
In complexion troubles, such as
oruptions and bic mfshes. the natural
acids of the apple have a decidedly
deterrent effect and soon cause
them to disappear. The malic acid,
which exists plentifully in apples.
has long been regarded as a remedy
for lead poison, and for this reason
they are especially urged upon
painters. plumbers and like work
men. Apples have also been re-
garded as an excellent remedy for
seasickness and for nausea arising
from riding in swift elevators or in
swaying street cars. Even the
bark Of the apple tree Is sometimes
used in cases of fever and ague.
The apple is rich In food value.

To the best Of my belief the mar

for the reason that the woman IL

very easily finds the faults of her
husband but conveniently over
looks them in other men.
Her home means no more to her
than q place to eat and sleep: and,
as I heard one married woman say,
she preferred her job to a home.
When they get that far gone they
are hopeless and steps should be
taken to make them realize this.
The woman of today Is prone e.

all lines OF work to women. unless
they have no other means of support,
and marriage would be a success.
For then the wife would depend
more on the husband and could be
trusted. But now they are so full
OF deceit that you can not believe
