Fruit as a Breakfast Food.
Of all breakfast fruits the orange is
deservedly the most popular. It is a
food that is distinctly health giving.
Orange juice aids greatly iu reducing
the amount of putrefaction found m
the intestines of nearly all persons
who are submitted to clinical labora¬
tory tests.
Grapes are another fruit that should
always be eaten freely when obtainable.
Apples are preferably eaten before re¬
tiring. and two are about twice as good
as one. The apple habit, persisted in.
often works rather surprising results
with persons who are naturally list¬
less. Lemons can hardly be eaten as
a fruit, but lemouade is a valuable
beverage. When used as a laxati\e
fresh figs should form the dessert.
When not obtainable the dried figs
form a good substitute.
Of the value of bananas there seems
some reasonable doubt. Many persons
complain that they find them indigesti¬
ble. They are quite likely to reach
this conclusion if the banana be eaten
frequently as the needless complement
of an already hearty meal. On the
other hand, there can be uo doubt that
the growing popularity of the fresh
olive is fully deserved. It surely ranks
with the orange and the grape and is,
of course, much ahead of either in
cases of siuggish intestines or constitu¬
tional thinness.—H. Irving Hancock tn
Good Housekeeping.
Why Did He Do It?
One of the guests of a seaside board¬
ing house had picked up a curiously
shaped stone on the seashore that look¬
ed exactly like a half eaten crust of
bread. It was being passed around
the room, and the finder was evidently
feeling pleased with himself at haviug
found something really unique. Every
one who saw it exclaimed how like a
crust of bread it really was. It at last
reached the quiet rnau in the corner,
and the finder went up to him to get
his opinion. “Yes.” said the quiet man
"it Is a striking resemblance. Didn t
think it was a crust of bread when
vou sand?” “Yes.” re¬
vou saw it ou the
plied the proud fiuder. “1 was com¬
pletely taken in with it.” “Then what
on earth did yon pick it up for?
Old Soldier Obeyed Command.
At Slboney during the Spanish-Amer
lean war a young lieutenant of a vol
unteer regiment was officer of
guard one day. and as he was
about in his new khaki uniform he no¬
ticed a man dressed in what looked
like the cast off clothes of a private
soldier coming toward him
The man was apparently fifty-five to
sixty years old, of dark complexion,
with hair and mustache streamed with
gray, and was clad in a faded blue
army shirt, open at the neck, khaki
trousers covered with mud tucked into
boots in the same condition and a gray
campaign 'hat much the worse for
wear and having several holes cut in
it for ventilating purposes.
He was strolling along, with his
hands in his pockets, and passed the
young lieutenant without a salute or a
sign of recognition of his rank.
This was more than the young offi¬
cer’s dignity could stand, and he stop¬
ped the man with a sharp "Halt
there!”
The man halted and faced about,
and the lieutenant asked:
“Are you in the army?”
‘“Yes, sir,” was the reply.
“Regulars or volunteers?”
“Regulars, sir.”
“Haven’t you been in the service
long enough to know that It is custom¬
ary to salute when you meet an officer
In uniform?"
“I know that, sir. but down here
we’ve sort of overlooked salutes and
ceremony.”
“Well, I haven't, and I want you to
understand it. Now, attention!”
The man stood at attention.
“Salute!”
The salute was given.
“How long have you been in the
service?”
“About thirty-five years, sir.”
“Well, you have learned something
about army regulations and customs
this morning. Remember who gave
you the lesson and when you meet me
In uniform salute. 1 am Lieutenant
—- of the -. Now, w-hat's your
name and regiment?”
The man who had received the les¬
son had been smiling slightly under
his mustache. Now he straighten«>d
up, saluted again and replied:
“General Adna R. Chaffee, sir. com¬
manding the —th division.”
When the dazed lieutenant found the
use of his tongue again and began to
excuse himself the old general said
kindly:
“That’s all right, my boy. You were
right. Of course you didn’t know. I
suppose I do look pretty rough, and an
enlisted man should salute an officer,
even if we do overlook It sometimes.
Always stick as closely to regulations
as that and you will make a good offl
ear."
Th* old aoldler nodded pleasantly
