And so one sure, healthful and tiafo way to reduce Is to socle out those splendid nature-built foods , which meet the body's require ments of II nu1, iron, bulk and a proper amount of calories. TI10 applo Is one of thu very finest of such foods. It is rich in minerals or ash, in vitamins it and C and bulky with fiber. An apple, (properly chewed and masticated In the mouth, stays in tho stomach only long enough for absorption of lis sugars and acids and potent minerals. Its caloric value Is high I and It builds the body as well as furnishing refreshing energy fori the day's work. It docs not kill I appetite It stimulates It.

The stubborn problem of how vege table life got its start on tho sur face of the earth, which nt first had 110 soil, is believed ; to be nearer solution as the reult of the work of a National Geographic society expedition 10 tho Alaska peninsula last summer. A prelimi nary report has just been made to the society's headquarters in Washington by Dr. Hubert F. Griggs, botanist, head of tho ex pedition, who obtained cultures of plants from ureas smothered by volcanic ash 18 years ago during the great eruption of Kutmui vol cano. Plant IjIvos 011 So Hess Ash On tho sterile wastes of nsh none of the ordinary higher plants such as grasses could grow, and for many years tho nsh areas re mained wholly bare. In order that such plants can live their roots must penetrate soil that is, bits of earth or pulverized rock mixed with decayed animal or vegetable matter containing nitrogen com pounds. " Dr. Griggs made the surprising discovery that delicate littlo plants called liverworts hro now thriv ing on ash nrcas in which there are apparently no traces of nitrr; gen.
