HRoBABLY II anyone were
asked what Is the most uni
= versal fruit the reply would
be either apples or grapes, with
the chances strongly In favor OF
grapes as being the most widely
grown and the most ancient Of
fruits and the one having the high
est medicinal value.
The grapes medicinal value lies
In the fact that II contains larger
percentage Of mineral matters or
salts than any other fruit. Grapes
contain large percentage OF iron,
magnesia, tartrates Of soda, potash.
phosphoric acid, lime, dextrine, etc.
Cream OF tartar r. the natural salt
of the grape and It also contains
large quantities Of potash salts. It
is these potash salts which clean
and strengthen the. kidneys, liver
and intestines. Also the sugar OF
the grape Is so absorptive that II
requires no digestion, but is at once
absorbed into the blood.
Some grapes contain as high as
30 per cent of sugar, and no grape
less than 10 per cent, 80 that grapes
are a true food and yield high
amounts Of energy When dried In
the form Of raisins much Of the
water they contain has been eyap-
Grated, and hence the raisin has
even more energy value than the
grape itself.
During these Fan months grapes
are plentiful, and the housewife
should consider not only using them
now, but preserving or canning
them for Winter use. II IL econom'

Suddenly-so suddenly that the public had
the facts before friends and relatives had
heard a whisper-the Verriam household
was riven BY an ugly scandal, young Mrs.
Verriam being the one condemned. Be-
tween husband and wife there was no rea-
sonable accounting. Pride on one side and
blaze OF anger on the other sped the
accused girl from the door and locked it
behindher. They separated, pending a d.
voree, people said, though others asserted
that Jefferson Verriam would never begin
divorce proceedings. In less than a year,
while driving his own motorcar, he met with
4 terrible accident perhaps by his own
intentD and was brought home helt broken
to pieces. Mrs. BIashton and her mother,

take charge OF his house.
