FOOD VALUE OF HONEY.
Honey is practically the only food that is immediately absorbed into the system, and that leave- no residue: in the digestion there is no exertion on the part of the stomach. Many medical men say we eat too much sugar, and if a larger portion of oiu sugar diet was composed of honey the health of the community in genera! would be improved. Since honey is so easy to assimilate in the stomach, and contain valuable food matter, it is a most desirable sweet for children. Honey is a food in which practically none of the organisms which produce the known serious diseases of the human system can exist. Honey will keep good for years, and is not subject to infection or deterioration when given ordinary care. This is more than can be said of lnauy other foods. —New South Wale,*' Agricultural Gazette.
