Why Cut Apples Turn Color. The rapid change of color In cut ap ples Is due to chemical action on the exposed surface of the apple after the free admission of oxygen and not, as was once supposed, to the presence of micro-organisms, for if apple pulp is sterilized and filtered the same thing happens. The Juice of an apple not only contains water, sugar and various acids, hut a starch which ferments when exposed to the air. Lindet holds that the fermenting matter and the acids also are In dif ferent cells In the uncut apple, but are brought Into contact as soon as It It cut. This is, however, not to the point, as the fermenting matter can only at tack the aromatic body in the presence of oxygen. Bo long as the skin of the apple is whole no change can take place, but immediately this is wound ed the oxygen begins its work, carbon dioxide Is evolved, and the reddish brown appearance sets In, especially on unripe fruit.

Baker, of Plalnview, Neb., writes: “My wife had lung trouble for over fifteen years. We tried a number of doctors and spent over a thousand dollars without any relief. 8be was very low and I lost all hope, when a friend suggested trying Foley’s Honey and Tar, which saved her life. 8be is stronger and en joys better health than she has ever known in ten years. We shall never be without Foley’s Honey and Tar and would ask those afflicted to try it.” Japanese troops seized the Seoul- Fusan railroad, in Korea, and carried artillery to Seoul.
