Before cane sugar was manufactured in quantities for commercial 

 use honey was the most common sweet in human food. In pioneering 

 days it was hunted systematically in hollow trees and crevices in rocks. 



Wild honey so secured was con- 

 sidered well worth the time 

 spent in seeking it. 



There is another form of honey 

 designated as abnormal, since it 

 does not come from the nectar 

 of flowers, but is, nevertheless, 

 gathered by bees. It is de- 

 veloped from a sweet substance 

 known as honey dew, deposited 

 on the leaves of plants by cer- 

 tain insects such as plant lice. 

 In some regions honey dew is 

 not found at all. 

 ■^Tiere found, the 

 amount that bees 

 gather is negligible 

 in comparison with 

 the amount of nec- 

 tar gathered from 

 blossoms. Xectar 

 is so changed 

 chemically and 

 modified by ripen- 

 ing and evapora- 

 tion after being 

 gathered by bees, 

 that in the form of 

 honey it is readily 

 digested and assim- 

 ilated.

Healthfulness of Honey. 



Before the manufacture 'of great quantities of sugar a larger amount 

 of honey was used per capita than is used now. The necessary intro- 

 duction of honey as a substitute for sugar has just recently again called 

 general attention to its healthfulness and the lesson is not likely soon 

 to be forgotten. Because it is predigested and readily assimilable, 

 physicians recommend it as a food for persons with delicate stomachs, 

 for those troubled with kidney complaint, and for those subject to 

 constipation, since honey is laxative in effect. 



The average amount of sugar consumed annually for every man, 

 woman, and child is about 80 pounds, and this sugar can not be assimi- 

 lated without change in the stomach, an action not necessary with 

 honey. It can readily be understood that the population might be 

 benefited by substituting honey for some of the sugar consumed. 

 When the stomach fails to do its work in modifying the sugar, the 

 eliminating organs, the kidneys especially, are severely taxed. A 

 noted physician, now 84 years old, eats honey instead of sugar, be- 

 lieving it will prolong his life and give him better health while li\ing. 

 He says that it is well authenticated that, as our natural craving indi- 

 cates, sweets are a real need of the system, but that the excessive use 

 of sugar brings in its train a long list of ills. He asserts also that the
