FRUIT AND THE COMPLEXION.
Every woman who desires to have a good complexion — and what woman does not ? — should know thatthe benefit to the complexion which may be derived from any cosmetic or lotion is nofc fco be compared •witli that to he given by the use of fruit. Fruit, however, should not be taken as a luxury or as a delicacy, but as a staple article of diet. Some fruits are highly nourishing, while others are appetising, and, one may properly say, purifying. Grapes and apples are among the most nutritious fruits. Grapes especially are easily digested, and usually agree with even the most delicate stomach. Nothing is more easily digested than a baked apple eaten without either cream or sugar. Baked sweet apples are delicious. Ripe peaches rival grapes in easy digestibility. To enrich the blood nothing is equal to strawberries, which contain a larger percentage of iron than any other fruit. Oranges, limes, and lemons are of decided value as a means of improving the complexion. With many persons a couple of oranges eaten before breakfast furnish a panacea for inactivity of the bowels, which is one of the most common causes of amuddy and dingy complexion.
