THE habit of eating raw fruits
l. and vegetables is an excellent
one for the homemaker to estab-
lish IN her family. Children espe-
cially should be encouraged In
this. for aside from the benefits
received IN general health, this
type of food helps TO develop the
teeth.
There are certain foods which
are admirably suited for use In
their natural state, but one pre-
caution must be kept in mind
they must be very carefully wash
ed. The widespread use OF COM
mercial fertilizers and sprays for
both fruits and vegetables makes
thorough washing of utmost i'm
portance.
Practically all the fruits, all true
nuts and many OF the vegetables
may be eaten uneooked. Lettuce,
celery. radishes. onions. cabbage,
tomatoes, carrots. eucnmbers,
sweet peppers. the endives, eress
and romaine contain nothing par
ticularly disturbing TO digestion
when eaten raw. The so-called
.Starchy" vegetables require cook
Ing to make them more quickly di-
gest ed and palatable.
Food Value Often Lost
Nitamin C-that food substance
so effective in preventing scuryy
and so necessary for health and
growth-is made less potent when

losses through cooking in varying
amounts. Cabbage has been found
TO be a heavy loser in iron. On
ions also are heavy losers in min
eral constituents. Since these veg

NEW YORK, May II. U.P) - The
stock market today presented a
confusing picture. Trading was
dull and prices swung back and
forth at intervals throughout the
session. The close was irregular.
Opening i.regularly lower, the
list declined on another bear drive
that carried over until call money
renewed at per cent, the lowest
renewal figure since September 8,
1908. Then bears took fright and
covered, sending the entire list
above the early lows and most
stocks above the previous close.
Around 2:30 prices were making
again came into the market and
drove them down. In the last few
minutes rally set in which recoy-
cred part of the losses.
Probably as a result of the very
low rate for call money. rather
heavy calling of loans was noted,
some for midmonth settlements.
The rate held at one per cent all
day, however, helping United States
government bonds into higher
ground.
The bond market for domestic
issues was firm, but foreign loans
were unsettled by further selling in
South American issues.
Gillette stood out, making a new
high for the year. New lows for
the year or longer were made by
Western Union, Fox. j. I. Case, Gold
Dust. Erie and Northern Pacific.
CHICAGO, May IL. U.P)-Wheat
turned dull and quiet after the in
itial decline on the board of trade
today and closed around that figure
after holding TO a very narrow
range that failed to equal the prev
ious close at any time. Disappoint-
ing Liverpool cables and selling re-
sulting from the beneficial rains
over the northwest the past week
were the chief factors. Unfavorable
developments in Kansas wheat were
ignored. Corn was unsettled but
mostly around steady with the
close on Saturday, May showing
some strength and July in clined to
weakness. Oats trade was light and
uncertain with prices moving in O
very restricted range.
At the close wheat was sc lower
