Fruit aa a Food.
Recent experiments conducted un
-oar Che auspices of the department of
fj^teolture at Washington throw In
terestlng ligut ou tiie <fi od value of
fruit. From an editorial review in
the Medical Record (Xew York) we
learn that the data contained in the
official report show that fresh fruits
are in general dilute food containing
a large proportion of water compared
with the total amount of nutritive
material. The carbonhydrates are
the chief food constituents and the
proportions of sugars and acids vary
greatly. For instance, there is only
one to two per cent of acid in such
fruits as apples, pears, plums, straw
berries, etc., and as high as 7 pw
rent or more in lemon juice. Says
th» writer:
"Studies were made with persons
who had subsisted on fruit diet for
many years and with persons who
were accustomed to a vegetarian and
to an ordinary diet. The individuals
were of different sexes and ages. The
results obtained from the first series
of studies, which were made on wo
men and children * * * * show
that while they were too limited to
warrant the foundation of any very
definite conclusions, the statement
might be confidently made that
fruitg and nuts should not be looked
upon simply as food accessories, but
should be considered a fairly eco
nomical source of nutritive material."
Experiments conducted by Prof.
Jaffa of the California experiment
station, to determine the digestibil
ity of fruit, show clearly, he thinks,
that they are thoroughly digested
and have a higher nutritive value
than is popularly attributed to them.
Apparently stomach digestion is in
fluenced by the nature of the fruit
and its stage of ripeness. Apples are
viewed, from an economical and nu
tritive standpoint as the best of all
fresh fruits, especially whan un
cooked, while of dried fruits dates
and raisins rank the highest. To re
sume the quotation:
"The conclusions reached as a re
sult of the studies were that in gen
eral it may be said that fruits are
wholesome, palatable and attractive
additions to our diet and may be
readily made to furnish a consider
able part of the nutrients and energy
required in the daily fare. Fresh
fruits are dilute foods and closely re
semble green vegetables in total nu
tritive value, but dried fruits and
many preserves are much more con
centrated, comparing favorably with
some of the cereals and other dry
vegetable foods in the amount of to
tal nutriment and energy which they
supply per pound. Characteristic
chemical constituents of fruits are
naturally and properly used in a
well balanced diet to supplement
foods richer in protein, such, for ex
ample, as cereal grains, legumes,
nuts, eggs, dairy products, meats and
fish. Intelligently used, fruits con
stitute a most valuable part of a
well-balanced diet and may profitably
be eaiten in even larger quantities
than they are at present by the ma
jority of mankind."—Literary Di

STATE WORKING
FOR GOOD ROADS
LANCASTER PRAISES ENTERPRISES
Destined to Lead All Others in the
West in Maintaining Model
Public Thoroughfures.
SPOKANE, Nov. 30.—"Not only
has western Washington within her
own borders better natural parving
material for roads than any other
state, but from the interest taken
here in the good roads movement
she is destined to lead all others in
the west in model thoroughfares."
This positive assertion was made
by Samuel C. Lancaster, consulting i
engineer of the office of public
roads, United Sta.tes department of
agriculture, who came from the
national oapftal to attend the North
Yakima state convention and who
will remain in the state for several
days delivering addresses and se
curing data thiat will be of assist
ance to his branch of the govern
ment service.
"In aIJ parts of Washington," 6aid
Lancaster, "there are immense de
posits of basalitc or trap rock. This
rock Is considered the best material
for country road building. Washing
ton is unusually fortunate in nav
lng these deposits. They will prove
of Incalculable benefit In the good
roads movement.
"I «ame to this state at the re
quest of Samuel Hill, who asked the
department to send someone here.
Since my arrival I have been agreea
bly surprised at the splendid interest
in the good roads movement shown
among all the people and the Intelli
gence that Is manifested In system
atically working for the betterment
of present conditions.
"The office to which I am attach
ed Is desirlous of doing everything
in its power to cooperate with the
people in the good roads movement.
The office belongs to the people and
we want to make Its scope of use
fulness Just as broad as possible. If
the people of Washington will but
pull together, with the material for
road building right at hand, the state
will soon be regarded as a leader
among the newer states in the good
roada movement.
"An era of good roads building in
the United States Is dawning. While
out work is still educational, we nave
passed the stage of being obliged to
work up interest among the people.
Thia.t is already done. You would be
surprised at the universal interest,
north, south, east and west, for bet
ter highways. What we are doing
no wis to encourage organization—
to promise a 'stick-to-it-tveness'
among the people and to furnish
them reports both here and else
where regarding road building.
"In the past too much money has
been wasted in the building of roads.
No two roads can be constructed in
the same way. Local conditions
govern the work entirely. By con
certed effort and study, however, it
will be found that no money need
be unnecessarily thrown away."
BOLD 12,000 HOXKS OF APPLES.
P. Wuldcn & Sons of Zillah Dispose
of Crop of 1900.
Smiley Walden, »ne of the firm of
F. Walden &. Sons, the extensive
fruit growers of Zillah, is in the city.
He came up to spend Thanksgiving
with Mrs. Walden's parents, Air. and
Mrs. H. Van Huskirk, and to attend
to the delivery of the last of this*
year"s apple crop, which was sold to
eastern buyers som« time ago.
Air. Walden stated to the HeraPi
Lhai the aple crop of this year from
their 40-acre orchard 'amounted to a
little over 12,000 boxes. This is not
luite as large a yield as had been ex
pected, but was very good 'for the sea
son. The last apples delivered were
of the inferior varieties, Ben Davis
.mil Missouri Pippins for the most
part, and these, of course, brought
the lowest price of any of the crop.
rhe apples were sold for from tiO
■cuts to $1.25 a box, and the average
price received was about 80 cents.
Mr. Walden stated that the net prof
ts from the orchard this year would
imount. to about $3000.
"We paid out," he said, "about
11000 for picking and packing the
:rop. Our force consisted of 35 peo
ile, employed for more than a month,
rhe workers made good wages, one
Koung woman making $118 as
packer. The bulk of the crop was de
livered in this city. We had 40
icres of bearing apple orchard this
/ear, our total acreage in fruit be
ng liv acres."
The Walden orchard lies on a.
bench, well out of the reach of high,
water, and -was therefore not dam
iged by the flood.
