While / have shown that the term
fast is a misnomer when any food
either liquid or solid, is taken into the
body, the word is still used, however,
to designate either a partial fast or
the abstinence from all but one specific
kind of food, Personally prefer to
use the word "diet" instead of fast
to express this exclusive and restricted
form of diet But as the term fruit
fast has become generally known,
wish to give few helpful hints in
regard to this kind of diet. The term
fruit is very elastic one and in
cludes a vast amount of food mate
rial of varying nutritive qualities. 1t is
well to state shall use the term
fruit" in its broadly accepted sense,
entering into no merely academic ques-
tons as to whether watermelons are
fruits or vegetables. In what i shall
have to say, shall treat all food of
this nature as fruits.
An acid fruit diet is to. a certain
extent of value as means of replac-
ing fast where an abstemious regi>
men is needed and one does not pos
sess sufficient power to fast entirely.
This more especially refers to acid
fruits alone, for, by combining sweet
with acid fruits, oneecan be completely
Cd IN, he
acid fruits alone contain about all the
elements that are needed TO nourish
the body, and one could live on them
for an indefinite period, though of
course he would not be as satisfactor-
lily nourished as he would on more
nutritious diet. For the convenience of
those who might not fully understand
what we mean by acid fruits, would
say that the following are the principal
fruits of this character: Apples, april
cots, blackberries, cherries, grapes,
grapefruit, lemons, lines, nectarines,
oranges, pears, pineapples, strawber-
rieS and plums. There are other acid
fruits, but these represent the principal
varieties that are in common use. The
acid fruit is distinguished by what
might be termed partially sour taste,
although as a rule it does not possess
enough of this characteristic<to make
the taste unpleasant. Lemons and
lines for instance, contain more Of the
acid characteristics than other fruits
Grapefruit and pineapple furnish a
strong acid favor, which as a rule is
not unpleasant. The sweet fruits in
common use are classed as follows:
Bananas, figs, pcrsinnions, raisins and
dates. Though the bananas are classed
as sweet fruit they can hardly be
referred to in the same class as dates,
figs, raisins aud sweet fruits of this
variety. : Bananas are more closely al
lied to bread than any other fruit. {. in
some countries they are as staple an
article Of food as bread is with US.

Weather Hokum

old time superstitions about the
weather are being exploded one af-
ter the other. The latest exposure
is the tradition that rain follows a
big battle, Popular notion is that
cannonading starts a downpour.
That's sometimes tried to produce
rain altifieally during a drouth.
The weather Bureau in Washing
ton. d. C. admits that rain often
follows a battle, in the ordinary
course of events, just as it often fol-
lows a dog fight, a baseball game
or bridge party. But that's just
chance, and the rain would have
come, battle or no battle.
How did people first get the nc
ton that rain followed battle? Prob
ably because troop, nlovements, pre-
ceding battle are best carried out
during fair weather. & dry spell ma
turally comes before a rain.

Before another twelve months have

There is an immense egg hatch

These in a few short weeks grow

there is profitable market for all

OPINIONS OF
OTHER EDITORS
SOVIET TERRORISM"

Mr. Samuel Gompers is salts
fled with the refusal of the i'd
ministration to recognize the
Soviet government.
Mr.. Gompe-s says that iabor's
.nositios is one of unqualified or
position to any relations with
"Soyie: terrorism
The conclusion of President
Coolidge, he maintains, is in ae,
cord with that Of Woodrow VIII
Ison and Warren Harding. Some
of the Senators and. Representa-
tiyes have given declarations Of
friendship for the, Soviet auto
cracy. 1t is imperative that
American labor make unmistaka-
bly clear its condemnation of the
proposals Of Moscow that free
America enter into negotiation
with the Soviets,"
Senator Borah, strange to say,
believes in playing with The Boil
shevists. This is not the oriy
thing that Borah is wrong about.
II there is one thing the Soviets
would like to bring about it is
their long sought goal of rela-
tions with the United States. But
there can be no negotiations
where there is not mutual trust.
Senator Borah ought to know that
any compromise with the Soviets
is a victory for them. Outlaws
and brigands commonly act upon
that principle.
That the Soviets exist 70 make
war on American institutions and
principles recent disclosures IL
Washington have abundantly
shown. 1t has spent money and
sent secret agents to overthrow
our government and our social or
der. 1t has spread Communist
propaganda and is trying to or.
ganize Red army over here to
unsettle things. They are a seri-
Gus menace.
As long as the people remain
sane they will not barter Ameri-
can principles for material adj
vantage. Mr.. Gompers has amidst
all his career remained an Ameri-
can and an uncompromising enc
my of Socialism and Commun-
ism. He deserves to be upheld
by the people. He never showed
to better advantage than when
denouneing the Soviet approach.

On his 104th birthday, Kupper
Bier, attributes his long life to his
wife's excellent cooking. This is
true in many cases, but it couldn't
be a general rule, for more stom4

than by bad cooking. People who
eat too much should restrict them
selves to foods that taste like saw
dust and hay,
The only people who needn't
worry about their diet are editors.
