When To Eat Fruit

The question is ofteu asked, at wLat time in the day frnit should be eateii. In tropical countries, where fruit is tho chief articlo of food, the rule appears to bo that tho earlier in the d;iy it is taken the better, and tho later tho worso. Iu hot weather niany wiso people will cat none aftor noon, alleging that the digestión theu declines in power with the decline of the day, and the fruit, instèad of digesting, decomposes, owing to tiie presenco of the snceharine matter. Tiio oV)j(;etion to frnit and certain kinds of vegetables late in tho day, be the explanation what it may be, is oertainly justifled by an ampie experienee, thongli sonio persons can eat fruit at all hotirs without feeling any inconvenience.
