VALUE OF APPLE-EATING.

"Do you know," asks ono horticultural journal, "what you aro eating when you eat an apple P You are ing gallic acid, ono oT the most necessary elements in human economy. You aro eating sugar in tho most assimilable form, combined carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen caught and imprisoned from the sunshine. You are eating a gum aoplied to the 'fragrant medicinal gums of Araby.' And you aro eating phosphorus in the only form Hi which it is available as tho source of all brain and nerve energy. In addition to all these, you aro drinking the purest of water and eating the most healthful arid desirable fibre for the required "roughness" in food elements. _ The ;>cids of apple dimmish tho acidity of tho stomach and prevent and cure dyspepsia. They drive out the obnoxious matters that "cause skin eruptions and thus are Nature's most glorious complexion makers. They neutralise in the blood any deleterious elements that poison the brain and make it sluggish. The contained phosphorus is not only greater than in ariy other form or' food, but it is presented in a shape for immediate use by the brain and nerves, where it may flash into great thoughts and groat.deeds. The ancients assigned the annlo as the food for the gods, and its juices, the ambrosial nectar io which they resorted to renew their youth. Men are .the gods of to-day, and the apple is their royal food, the I magic renewer of youth. Eat a I rich ripe apple every day and you have I disarmed all diseases of half their terror." ' '
