Food Values. - Blanched almonds are the highest kind of nerve or_ brain or muscle food. , having no heat or waste. says a writer in Good "Housekeeping. Walnuts give brain or nerve food. muscle. heat and waste. Green water grapes are blood 3 purifying. but of little food value. Blue ,r.:rapes are feeding and blood purifying. but too. rich for those who suffer from . the liver. Tomatoes have higher nerve or brain food qualities: they are thin ning and stimulating_. Juicy fruits give more or less nerve or brain nutrimont and some few muscle food and waste. A` Apples supply the higher nerve-andf muscle food, but do not give staying I qualities. Prunes afford the highest nerve or brain food. supply heat anal waste. ,but are not muscle feeding. Or- anges are refreshing and feeding. Gre_en gs contain nerve and muscle food. heat and waste. The great ma- jority ,of small fresh seed fruits are laxative. Lemons and tomatoes should not bejused daily in coldweather: they have a thinning andeicooling effect.
