Many persons are afraid of fruits because of the acids which they think they contain. _ Professor Bunge, _ of Basle, has shown that thé acids of fruit are valuable as nutrients, a given given weight pf the acids of lemons, apples, apples, or grapes--citric, malic, or tartaric--being tartaric--being equal in nutritive value to one-half the quantity of starch, or sugar. Acids are valuable as disinfectants to. the stomach, thus corresting certain certain disease processes. Only those suffering ffom gastric ulcer or chronic catarrh of the stomach or intestines need avoid acid fruits, and even in such cases fruits may gradually be introduced introduced into the dietary, providing proper curative measures are adopted. . Fruit acids increase intestinal activity, activity, and thus relieve constipation. They are extremely valuable for persons persons subject to billiousness, coated tongue, gallstones, chronic rheumatism, rheumatism, Bright's disease and gout. The acids of fruits become alkalies after digestion arid oxidation, hence do not produce an acid state of thé blood, as do mineral acids. The great quantity of apples usually found' in most parts of the country renders it an easy matter to secu.e an abundant supply of fruit acid in the form of canned apple juice, or sweet cider. Apples should be selected, washed and made into clear juice, which may easily be canned In glass jars or jugs at a very small expense. Half a pint of fresh apple juice (unfermented) (unfermented) taken a half heur before each meal and on going to bed at night is an excellent remedy for "biliousness" "biliousness" and constipation.

It was announced early in the war by the imperial German government that the dual nation was to be absorbed absorbed by her rapacious autocratic neighbor neighbor and professed friend. The man chosen to inform all whom it might concern of the Hun determination, and to state why the dual monarchy must become an appendage of Germany Germany was Friedrich Naumann, a distinguished distinguished German court historian, a leading pan-Germanist. The book in which this information was contained is entitled "Mittel-Europa," or Central Central Europe as it appears in the English English translation. - * »x * * Governments and statesmen of all nations have taken cognizance of this frank and unmistaken.statement from such an authoritative source- respecting respecting the aims of Germany in the war, and when peace comes. The "book is written to prove that without German German domination in Central Europe, not only Austria-Hungary but the German Empire itself will fall under the economic pressure that is to be given by the rest of the world; and hence fpr the good of all the three countries named there must come a new dispensation. With-Germany in control of her neighbors, the remainder remainder of the program of expansion through the Balkans and the Mesopotamian Mesopotamian valley would be easy. This program, while Emperor Joseph Joseph of Austria lived, seems to have been quietly accepted, if not approved by that aged monarch, and so the German dream of empire apparently had easy sailing. ' But since then the licensious old 'emperor passed away, and a néw emperor came to the Austrian Austrian throne, with whom the "Mittel Europa" doctrine has not been so popular.

Owing to the excessive number of barns burned in Ontario during the summer of 1916, an investigation was undertaken by Prof. W. H. Day, Professor of Physics, Physics, Ontario Agricultural College, with a view to discovering the exact conditions favorable to spontaneous combustion in stored grasses. It was proved that large quantities of im- . perfectly cured hay were frequently stored in barns with little or no ventilation, ventilation, and that the high temperatures temperatures reached during fermentation resulted resulted in a number of fires. Farmers are not generally aware that the cells in hay continue their existence for some timé after it is cut and, when the moist compressed mass is housed in close barns, a température of 132 deg. F. is quickly reached. Added to this, the heat from microscopic spores, germinating germinating seeds and the heat of the sun upon the roof may raise the temperature temperature of the mow to 212 deg. F., when charring commences. The carbon carbon thus formed absorbs oxygen and the mass grows hotter, until, at 265 deg. F., visible combustion takes place. Bran, grain and silage may also ignite sporitàneously under - similar similar conditions. The remedy for spontaneous spontaneous combustion is simple and easily easily applied. • All hay should be perfectly perfectly dry before storage. In mixed grasses, spediàl care should be given to the clover. Timothy may appear perfectly dry while the heavy stalks of clover may retain a large percentage of moisture. All barns should be provided provided with ample top ventilation. If these simple matters are given the attention attention they deserve, spontaneous combustion combustion will cease to figure as a cause of barn fires in Canada. of fare. The nutritive value of fruits is small, but the value of fruit acids for purifying the stomach-and alimentary alimentary canal and increasing the activity activity of the kidneys and liver gives to this class of foods a high value.

Water, which looks so harmless,and tastes all right while it is going down, and seems so refreshing, may, however, however, contain the deadliest germs of disease. In a big city the water supply is regularly inspected by bacteriologists, people trained in the special work of testing the purity of the water. Therefore the danger of using the water out of the tap is not great. When special pollution occurs the public is supposed to be notified at once by the authorities, so that they may take precautions. In the country or in small .cities, where the water is not regularly inspected inspected and where, there is any uncertainty uncertainty regarding its purity, it is always advisable to use a good deal of caution. Personal protection \be- comes necessary. The water should be either boiled or filtered or chemically purified 1 * with chlorinated lime. Reliable filters are. easily obtainable. obtainable. For household use there are excellent filters, which render the water water practically free from dangerous digariisms. Those that are made of porous earthenware, which can be taken from its place and cleansed by boiling, and thus can be oised indef- ii.itely, are particularly good. Whether or not the water you drink is clean may mean whether you live or. die.

In fact, if you do it right, you can drop sixty or eighty ordinary pins into the glass, and still the water will not trickle over the edge. The reason why is simply that the edge is not wet, and on this account it is possible literally to pile up the water water perceptibly higher than the level of the brim. The same thing can be done with tacks or with coins. _ Goal &t Wood 7 Best grades of Coal only kept, also Wood of all kinds.
