IT is especially efficacious in treat

grapefruit, both for meals and
lunches, il is pointed out, is proba-
bly, one Of the reasons why the VAL
ley has escaped the flu epidemic tina.

portions of the country.
The cause of flu, the doctors say,
is rs yet unknown to medical science,
but there can be no doubt that the
best manner in which to avoid being
stricken by the disease is 70 keep the
entire system in such good condi-
hon that It is able 20 Withstand and

tionS of the system, which results IN
breaking down its resistance to the
attacks of disease germs, is acidosis

The effect Of acidosis is that the
system is obliged to combat a poi

Ing, or even eliminating, its reserve

called into play against the attack of
diseases from the outside. Numer-
Gus other injurious conditions are
possible in the stomach and digestive
system. any Of which serve to reduce
resistance and make the person af-
flicted especially subject 10 the at
tack of flu.
Thus. even though the actual cause
Of flu is unknown, it Is certain that
a person whose stomach and diges-
tive system is healthy and function
ing properly is far less liable to on
tract the disease than one who is af-
flicted with one or more stomach
and digestive complaints, even
though they may be Of a minor ma

The value Of grapefruit goes even
