j EAT MORE APPLES!!
Vl HAT IT MEANS TO EAT AN APPlE
I “Do you know what you are
ouling.' said the doctor to the
| little girl.
! “An upple of course.”
j *You rating,’’ said the*
doctor, “alhumrn sugar, gum,,
malic acid, g;*ll.c acid, fiber, wa
lei and phosphorus.”
) * hope those things are good,
they sound alarming?”
“Nothing could be b tt°r. You'
ate, I observed, rather too much'
tu ut foi d nner. The malic ucid
j. 04 aPi les m u ralizes the excess
of chaky matter caused by ent
tng too much meat, and thereby
help9 to keep you 3ound. Apples
are good for your complexion,
ltieir acids drive out the noxi
ous matt' rs which cause skin
eruptions. They are good for
your brain, which those same
noxious mailers, if retained,
render sluggish. Moreover, the
acids of he apple diminish the
acidity of the stomach that
comes with some forms of in
digestion.
Then, too, the phosphorus, of
which the apple contains a larg
er percentage than any other
fruit or vegeta he, renews the
essential nervous matter of the
Drain and the spinal column.
"Oh, the ancients were not
wrong when they esteemed the
apple the food of the Gods—the
magic renewer of youth! to
which the Gods have resorted
than they fell themselves old
and fetdile,
“1 think I’ll have an apple,"
concluded the doctor.

biat'on of establishment of Nome

op< n their huge buiding with Its large
hall, smaller hall, club rooms and
reading room for the use of their
guests and so great was the number!
of those accepting the hospitaity that ’
r< oms of these large proportions were \
required for comfort.

diversified nature, consisting of on
< ntertainment program, a scsson at

procedure for the evening. Mr. James
Bogan sang, accompanied by AIlss,
Helen Stipek and was compelled to

W. Lilly; "Mr3. Slinger,” Mrs. Irving
Reed; "Broadway Walker," Mrs. Clar
ence Lltteflled; and "James the But
ler," Mr A. C. Dilge. This was ex- '
ct Pertly done and was greatly ap
Jo\ ed.

two o'clock this morning.
Music was furnished for dancing by
Mr. Hutchinson at the piano. In the
large hall the piano was placed in
the center so that It would be clearly
audible and the Immense throng ol
dancers greatly appreciated his efforts.
It was the concensus of opinion
laet night as folks wended their home
ward way that the Ragles had again
done themselves proud by their ex
^ ccllent entertainment of their guests.

LIVELY BLAZE IN HOLT’S
ESTABLISHMENT
CAUSES $5,000 LOSS
(Continued from page one.)
The cause of the Arc Is unknown.
Mr. Holt says that no one has slept
up stairs for three weelu. And be
cause the woodwork around the pipe
; of the stove which Is used to heat the
I drwnstalrs was not burned nearly so
| much as some room3 farther to the
I rear It is thought to be certain that
1 h" Are did not originate from the
'ue. For lack of a better theory
i licit states as hl9 belief that the
; daze started from a defective elec
- l ie light wire. When he was awak
ened by the cry of Are he tried to
switch it) the light but the wires
were out of order probably from the
fire and there was no current avall
iHe.
Mo3t of the spectators agreed that,
while Holt’s loss Is very unfortunate,
u might have been very much worse
and he is lucky to have practically
.he bulk of his 8y>ck only slightly
njured by the water. Great credit
was given the department for their
excellent work.
This afternoon Mr. Holt announced
that he has changed his plans and will
net move Into the Aln3ka Mercantile
building. He will Ax up his roof and
repair the building and dry out his
goods in his present store.
