Mama of Crabapple.

The name crabapple appears to be
of Scandinavian origin, and akin to
the Swedish "krabbaple," says Nature
Magazine. Skeat offers the explana-
ton that the Swedish word is related
TO the name "krabba," as applied to
the sea creature. He adds that appli-
cation of the word to the fruit was
perhaps "from some notion of pinch
ing. in alluslon to the extreme sour
ness of the taste" of the crabapple.
In this he finds resemblance to the
"pinching" action Of the claws Of the
crustacean.

the body meets many poisons. And every
day the body conquers those poisons, It con-
quers them by throwing out health resistance
which overcomes the evil forces. You do not
know that the fight is going on, but it is
constantly. Always that body of yours is
being attacked always it is overcoming the
attacker. Only when the health resistance
becomes too low does the Poison Attacker
overcome the Health Defense.
So it is with the mind, Pal. Life is filled
with evil influences, poisonous contacts that
sicken the spirit if they break through its
resistance. But healthy spirit does not let
them break through. The healthy spirit
holds these evil attackers at bay. Sometimes
it takes desperate struggle to hold them at
bay. All that we have Of courage and wisdom,
patience and humor, tenderness and toler-
ance ia called To arms The fight is desperate
