Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 August 1899 — Fruit for Children. [ARTICLE]

Fruit for Children.

A great many people are afraid to give young children the fruit they need lest it should induce intestinal troubles. But in the season of fruit that which is well ripened is far more healthful than the pieces of cake or pie that are substituted for it. Wellripened fruit never injures children past the age when they are weaned, if given with the skin and seeds removed. It is tne Indigestible skin of fruits that injures the intestines. Oblige the child to chew its food, giving a piece of bread and butter or a piece of wholesome cake and requiring the child to take an alternate mouthful of one of these with its fruit. r No Patents for Inventions. Switzerland is to be the only civilized country In the world which grants no patents for inventions. A woman may be a “good woman” In the church, and still be of no use to her home or husband.
