Apple, the Beautifier.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” is an old adage, and the same may be said of the orange, as it has

an equally fine effect on the entire system. If one is Inclined to acidity of the stomach, the juice of an orange is a counter-irritant. If the stomach is weak the juice of an orange Before breakfast is an excellent tonic for the entire day. If one is dieting to reduce, one or two oranges eaten at noon will nourish, fill the aching void in the stomach and reduce rather than add to the weight An orange always quenches the thirst, and in traveling it is much safer to eat an orange than to drink stale water. A hot orangeade before going to bed on a cold night warms the entire body and soothes the nervous system. The peel of an orange thrown into a hot tub softens the water to the ex* tent that the whole body benefits by it For cleansing the face soak a bit of orange peel in a basin of warm water, then go carefully over the face with the peel; afterward rinse in the water in which the peel was soaked. It is far more cleansing than cold cream and never promotes the growth of hair.
