HOW TO KEEP WELL.

By Chas. G. Percival, M. D.

(Enquiries on health subjects may

be directed to Dr. Percival, of this paper, and will be answered in these columns. He will not give medical advice.)

GRAPE JUICE AS A BEVERAGE.

lt is a deplorable fact that the aver-

age individual always believes that the more expensive an article the more valuable it becomes. In the mat- ter of food and drink the 'opposite condition really prevails in many cases. Take the various drinks, for instance; pure water is unquestion- ably the best drink under nearly all circumstances. Next to the water, however, in value for drinking pur- poses are the various unfermented fruit juices. These could be supplied very cheaply, but usually they are extremely difficult to secure. Take cider, for instance, about the easiest and cheapest fruit juice to manufac- ture, and one will ordinarily have to go to considerable trouble in order to secure this healthful drink and if you dare to ask for it where expens

iiianucr of those in charge will quick- ly indicate that they consider it a "cheap" drink, mid do not keep it. it is a cheap drink, but that does not; prevent it being the best. lliifcrment cd apple juice is oiic of the most be ucficial drinks lii many cases it has bccii kiiowii to remedy very serious troiibles. lt is almost it certain means of arousing a torpid liver to activity, and if oiie's stomach does not furnish a sufllciciit supply of' acids to proper- ly digest food. it is of spcciul od- vaiitnge. It is woll, howcvcr, to rc- nicmber that what is sold for cider on the market, at the present time is usually a mixture of water and acids. Those drinks are of course deleter- ious iii 'their influence. Bc sure that you secure good cider. It is it drink that can be specially recommended. Grupo .luicc is also especially valu- uble, and is really as much of a food as a drink when pure and properly hottisd toprevent fermentation. The nourishing qualities it contains are almost equal to milk. It is especially valuable to weak stomachs arid for in- valids, but anyone can be benefited by using grape juice when a fruit julie of some kind is needed. lt would be well to note, however, that one cannot drink grape juice as free- l_V as water, even though our friend Wm. J. Bryan did niuch to bring it be forc the public.

FOOD VALUE OF VEGETABLES.

Tomatoes contain iron and assist

io rouse 'torpid liber. Lettuce has a soothing, quieting effect upon the ncrvcs and is o. remedy for insomnia. (lelery is an acknowledgeed nerve tonic. Onions are also a tonic for the nerves. Potatoes should be eschewed by those who “have a horror for get- ting fat." Spinach has medicinal properties equal to ‘thc most indigo of all blue pills ever made. Parsnips, it is coiitciidod by scientists, possess al- most flic virtues claimed for sarsa- parilla. Asparagus is efficacious in kidney ailments. Cucumbers contain an acid that is helpful in some cases of dyspepsia, but beware of them if not fresh. Cabbage in Holland is rc- gardcd as something of a blood purifi- er. Pnrsley will assist good digestion like cheese and nuts. Pumpkins are an ingredient in a certain patent medicine that is guaraiitced to curc quite`a variety of the ailments that flesh is heir to, but the world is in- creasing in inhabitants who do not believe all they hear. Rhubarb, cel- ery, lemons, sour oranges and all oth- er tart fruits are especially benefici- al 'to those suffering from rheumat- tic troubles. Onions, celery and tur- nips relieve nervous disorders, on- ions being accounted the best nervino known. Digestion is promoted by the use of onions, tomatoes, olives, garlic and peanuts. Elderberrles are con- sidered bcnoflcinl to those suffering from dropsy. Spinish and onions re- lieve gravel. Carrots are good for as- thmatic patients. Turnlps, onions and salt relieve scurvy. And there is sca- rcely anything better than lemons to break n cold, to relieve feverish thirst, bllliousncss, law fevers, liver troubles and rlieumatism.

FOR THE NURSERY TABLE.

Blackberry mould will be a surprise

for the nursery supper table. Stew and mash a quart of berries with ri little water. Stir into this a small cup of farlna ami a pinch of salt. Cook for an hour iii a double boiler arid put into wet moulds to harden. Turn out on individual dishes and serve with a little thin cream.

Another delightful dish that can be

prepared in the morning and eaten at night is blackberry and apple fool. To make it take one pint each of the ber- ries and nice juicy apples. Peel, core, and slice the latter. then put them with the berries into a saucepan with a quarter cup of water and one cup of sugar. Cook gently until the fruit is tender, then rub through a sieve. lf not sweet enough add more sugar and stir into the fruit pulp one pint of thick boiled custard. Pour into a glass

dish, the one it will be served in. Wheg ready to serve, whip cream to a sti froth, sweeten and flavor. 1-leap iii

rnpainds over the fool. Serve very co .

Raspberry cream is the queen of

dainty desserts. Soak half s box of gelatin in cold water to cover for half an hour. Stand over boiling water until dissolved. Add half a cup of sugar and a pint of strained raspberry juice. Str until thickened over cracked ice Il‘hen add one pint of whipped cream and mix thoroughly Pour into a mold

ONION HARVEST.

Onions are ready to harvest when

the majority of the tops have fallen and the ends have started to dry. Owing to the excessive amount of

growing later this year than usual. 'lloo late growth is undesirable and if the tops do not begin to go down nat- urally late in August or early iii Sep- tember they should be crushed down by rolling a barrel or light roller over the field with the rows. This will check growth and cause the onions to ripen.

5' When the area planted to onions is

large every facility must be had for handling the crop, as it is desirable to get the bulbs under cover as soon as possible after they have reached the harvesting stage. If the weather remains unsettled only a. few of the onions should be pulled at a time, preventing exposing the pulled biiibs
