sued 500,000 copies: by many of the 

 railroads and many of the fruit con- 

 cerns in United States. It is also in- 

 teresting to note that the other princi- 

 pal reference to the dietetic value of 

 apples, refers to an article by the late 

 Dr. Benjafield, Hobart, Tasmania, 

 which was first published in Better 

 Fruit August, 1916, the original article 

 being sent by Dr. Benjafield to Better 

 Fruit. And, by the way, the editor of 

 Better Fruit had many exceedingly 

 pleasant and instructive letters from 

 the late Dr. Benjafield. The editor 

 also desires to say it was with much 

 sorrow he received a letter from Dr. 

 Benjafield's son advising him of the 

 death of his father, and enclosing a 

 partially written letter from the Doc- 

 tor to the editor. 



Food Value of Apples 



IN the early weeks of the war I gave 

 an intervie wto one of the London 

 dailies and ventured to prophecy that 

 the end of the contest would be influ- 

 enced largely by dietary problems, 

 and in these problems I did not con- 

 sider that the question of protein and 

 scale calorific values for muscular 

 substance would be of so much im- 

 portance as those of foods which sup- 

 ply nerve nutrition; i. e., fats and sal- 

 ines. It is very difficult to deprive 

 any besieged country — or even be- 

 sieged city — of all sources of muscular 

 nourishment so long as any other cel- 

 lulose remains to be transformed by 

 chemical agencies into a more digest- 

 ible form of carbo-hydrate. The diffi- 

 culty for Germany as a beleaguered 

 country was therefore not really meat, 

 or cereals, or potatoes, but fats and 

 fruits and salads. 



The joining up of Turkey threw my 

 prophecy out of gear as to time, be- 

 cause it opened up the great stores of 

 oil and figs and other fruits of Asia 

 Minor. This source is slowly failing, 

 and today, in spite of a complete cal- 

 orific dietary the people of Germany 

 are beginning to develop the disease 

 of mal nerve nutrition. There are 

 beginning in Germany already grave 

 manifestations of the basic origin of 

 many diseases. The latest is a wide 

 spread of oedema in the legs and feet 

 and face, of which particulars are 

 given in a late issue of "The Lancet." 

 This will steadily get worse and worse

THIS war is awakening men to the truth about a lot 

 of things besides Preparedness — and chewing to- 

 bacco is one of them. Soldiers are strong for W-B Cut 

 and the facts are right before you. These shreds are all 

 tobacco, no gummy sweetening — rick tobacco — more sap 

 in the leaf than in ordinary tobacco by a long shot. 

 That's why it's so satisfying and so economical— a little 

 bit goes a long way.
