HONEY IS VALUABLE FOOD Kershaw Oftnty Farmers Are Increasing Their Production V ' Every farm home in Kershaw county should keep a few hives of bees, give them good attention and thereby produce this food which has much value for human food. A good supply of honey will cut down materially on the amount of sugar to be purchased for the family. Honey is one of the best of the high energy-producing foods, says the United States Department of Agriculture. 'Because it is composed almost entirely of simple sugars it car be assimilated with ease. Most sugars require action by the gastric and Intestinal secretions to break them down into simple sugars similar to those occurring naturally in honey: ?Because?It?is?easily?ussfiinlluuwl, honey is of importance where normal digestive activities have been impaired by disease or old age. Honey can be utilized by the body without placing much of a burden on an enfeebled digestive tract and is also recognized ks a valuably food for babies and young children. Honev ia esDeciullv good in the diet of athletes. The rapids absorp-: tion of the simple sugars of honey replaces the sugars in the blootf and muscles that have been burned by strenuous exercise.
