REASONS FOR EATING FRUIT

There are many good reasons for
eating fruit. 1t should have a con-
spicuous place in our diet. All fruits
contain certain salts or organic
acids, which hare a more or less
stimulating action on the kidneys,
and some such as pears. fc; and
prunes. have a laxative effect. Fruit
also furnishes a certain roughage
which tends to. retain water in the
intestines and thus helps to regu-
late conditions.
Fruits have been recognized in
creasingly in recent years as ex-
cellent sources of vitamins. Many
fruits have been found to supply
Vitamin C.. Lemons, oranges and
tomatoes are considered especially
rich in it, and some of the vege-
tables, notably cabbage.
Fruits have other important con-
stituentS, notably the acids. Citric
acid and malic acid, usually both in
the same fruit, have been found to
be the principal fruit acids. The
acidity of oranges, lemons, grape
fruits, lines, and most of the ber-
ries is due almost entirely to citric
acid, apples and ounces owe their
SCR tang almost entirely to malic
acid, while peaches, apricots and
pears have a mixture of the two.
In the body most of the acids are
oxidiZed readily. The sodium, po-
tassium. OF calcium with which they
combine remaining to counterfeit
acid condi ons in the body and help
to preevnt excess of acidity.
THE PEACH TREE BORER-r-1%
One { the most destructive pvaLn
pests is the peach tree borer, which
works upon TIE trees instead of the
fruit. A valuable orchard may be
destroyed in a few years if care is
not taken. The adult is a beauti-
full little 10th, resembling some OF
the wasps in appearance. The eggs
are laid by the aren't moths during
July and August upon the bark
near the surface of the ground.
After hato-ing the larva, which is
very small and wormlike, begins to
bore into the bark, working down.
ward a little below the surface
where it continues to live. Its pres
ence is marked by an abundant
formation of gum. The usual rem
edy is to di around the base of the
tree early in the fall or winter, and
If any gum is found, take a nail or
piece of wire and pick out the larvae
or worms. This method of extract
ing the borers may be done in the
spring also if the worker is care
full not to injure the tree.
There is a better method of kill
ing these borers by using what is
known as "p-c-benzine." It is a
white powdere substance gotten
from tle dry store) which units a
poison gas. This may be used on
all trees more than three years~old.

NOVEL SCRIP IDEA
URGED ON HOOVER
Users Would Affix Stamps.
Irving Fisher Backs
Frear's Plea.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated ereSs.
CHIPPEWA FALLS. wis, July, 10
Consideration Of plan to end the de-
preston by issuing four billion dollars
of legal tender scrip. to be retired in
two years by means Of / per cent a
week stamp tax. was urged In kilograms
sent last night to President Hoover and
other high Government officials by
Representative James A. Frear (Re-
publican, wisconsin,.
Earl S. Barker of Chippewa Falls was
credited with proposing the plan,
which has been said to have been ap-
proved by Prof. Irving Fisher, economist
of Yale University.
Under Barker's plan, every original
recipient of this currency would be re-
quired to attach l per cent stamp
before rendering the scrip for pur-
chases or obligations. A one dollar bill
would thus can for l cent stamp, a
five dollar bill 5 cent stamp and so
on. The scrip would then be permitted
to circulate for the remainder of the
week without further stamps. The first
passer in each succeeding week, up to
l04, would place a l per cent stamp on
the scrip before letting it go.
At the end OF two years. the entire
issue would be redeemed through the
fund created by stamp purchases, and
the Government would net per cent
profit on the transaction.
Prof. Fisher was said to have de-
clared the plan sound and practical,
and that it would well be adopted not
only now but in future depressed busi-
ness periods. The progressive stamp
tax, he was quoted as saying, would
assure an unusually high velocity of
circulation, since the four billion dollar
issue would have to turn over 81 times
a year. This would mean a trade vol
unle of 298 billion dollars annually.

EUROPEAN AGREEMENT
HELD "CR0OKED" PLOT
Move Toward Cancellation of War
Debts Is Seen by William
r. Hearst.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. July 16.-The gen
tlemens agreement" at the Lausanne
Preparations Conference was branded
"a crooked conspiracy by European
confidence men and their American
confederates to rob the American peo-
pie" by William Randolph Hearst to-
night.
The newspaper publisher interpreted
the agreement as a move toward cam
collation. Of the war debts owed the
United States.
I'VE won the war. We won 1t for
ourselves. We won it for the allies, "
Mr. Hearst said in radio address.
I'VE may not have saved the world
for democracy. but we saved it for
bolshevism. or Fascism. or Hitlerism, or
what have you Anyhow We did a
good American Job.
Germany has paid to date s8,000,-
100000 in indemnity and under the
Lausanne compromise would pay less
than 81 100000 more. The United
States, under the proposed debt can
collation.. would pay $1,000, 10000 to
the allies. Thus the defeated nation,
Germany. would actually pay less in
demnity than the victorious nation,
