SUGAR FOR BRIGHTS DISEASE 



Within recent years, says the Medical 

 licconl, there has been a growing recognition 

 not only of the dietetic, but also of the med- 

 icinal value of sugar. As a nourishment 

 quickly simiiated in the exhaustion following 

 severe exertion anrl in fatigue, sugar is an 

 important article in the diet of the artisan 

 and of the soldier. Moreover, it has won a 

 distinctive place in medicine, particularly 

 in the treatment of shock, of an excess of 

 acid in the blood following operations, and 

 of heart Aveakness; it has also been extolled 

 as a local application in the treatment of 

 ulcers. 



MALE PAPAYA PLANTS USELESS 



All male papaya plants should be promptly 

 destroyed wherevtM' they apj^ear, as not only 

 are they unproductive, l^ut 1)3' their pollen 

 being carried to others which ai'e fruiting, they 

 tend to produce degenerate plants when these 

 are grown from the seed obtained from 

 plants growing in the vicinity of the male 



plants. There is no need to fear that the 

 others will not fruit if the male plants are 

 destroyed, for the reason that there are al- 

 ways plant.s near by having perfect flowers 

 which i)rovide sufficient jiollen for the polli- 

 nation of the females. — Philippine Aqricnl-
