"WHY are green fruits acid.
w Why are they harmful"

SWHI are green fruits ACID.
w Why are they harmful"
The greatest manufacturer OF
food stuffs on earth is the plant.
IT Is TO the plants interest TO
manufacture good foods. II the
fruit is good, an animal will eat
il and spread the seed far and
wide. III the leaves are succulent
an animal will eat them and
produce from them fertilizer in
its intestlnes.
The plant takes carbon diox-
ide from the air, water from the
soil. and energy from the suns
rays and manufactures food.
The first and simplest COM
pounds formed by the plant
from carbon dioxide and water
are formaldehyde and acids.
The green fruit containing
these acids, then, is sour.
The green apple is made up OF
hard roughage and causes
cramps if eaten; that Is the only
way II is harmful.
But as the plant goes on
ripening. IL combines molecules
Of formaldehyde until 1t pro-
duces sugar.
The acids are transformed
into grape sugar which. under
the influence OF the sun and in
side the skin Of the fruit, COM
bine 10 form malt sugar, which
IN turn forms dextrin and then,
starch.
The fruit is then in It's most
edible form.
Later il forms cellulose from
the starch and becomes dry and
tough.
IS 4 RE women more sensitive
~ 10 pain than men,"
One of the greatest needs Of
the modern physician is an in
Strument 10 measure pain. All
we can do now is take the pa
tents word for il as TO how
bad the pain is.
At the Mayo Clinic. I under
stand, they have been working
on a pain meter which records
responses from the skin but
nothing has been devised TO
record deep PAIN
The skin meter is put on like
a blood pressure band. Inside
the band is A metal grating.
The subjects of the test thought
they were just having their
blood pressure taken, because IL
they thought their pain sensi-
tivity was being tested. psyche
logic reaction would enter in
Az the band frightened, Phe
grating pressed the skin Ultj-
mately every person objected
that something was hurting.
The woman felt the pain at 90
10 100. The men, on the ave-
rage. did not object until the
pressures were $50 70 $50.
So we must conclude the
women were more sensitive 10
pain than the men.

The person who asked this

There is no foundation for
such a belief. Long exposure
to a high degree of infra-red

Exposure 10 very bright light

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
II. l.: How could you tell il
you were getting tuberculosis?
What would be the main symp-
toms and do they always show
up? What is meant by the skin
test?
Answer: The most important
point 10 realize about tubercu-
losis Is that il may advance

ing. The earliest symptoms are
afternoon fatigue, afternoon
fever. slight. steady loss Of

frequently none of them show
up. The skin tuberculin test

in childhood. Every adult OF 20
should have chest X-ray.
which detects 9S per cent OF
cases.

drome. Is il durable?
