ACID FRUITS
Wise men will use care in eating
their food, according to Dr. Samuel
G. Dixon, the state commissioner of
health. He devotes this week’s “Little
Talk on Health and Hygiens,” ‘to
“Bolting Food,” and points out that
resulting.
Doctor Dixon says that proper mas-
tication not only leads to greater en-
joyment of food. as well as to better
health, but he warns against the com-
mon practice of eating such things as
grapefruit when the stomach is em-
pty. Doctor Dixon says:
“Man is an omnivorous animal, and
cannot afford to permit himself to be
hurried at meals. It.is impossible to
bolt such food as.the average person
eats without injuring.the health.
