A Hint for the Fruit Picker. In our ear- 

 lier experience we have frequently dropped the 

 fine specimen in our hand, while reaching for an 

 inferior one on the tree. Why making such an 

 unproStahle exchange? Now, we first put the 

 good fruit into the basket, and never risk it for 

 the inferior one. This is a hint worth remem- 

 bering, even in other things besides picking fruit. 



My Liver

Bad Taste in tlie I9Ioutli
