On this point Chittenden says: " I would lay special stress upon the value to the body of the natural sugars as well as of starch. We are inclined to deprecate the wide-spread use of candy, especially among children, and there is no doubt that the too lavish use of sugar in such con- centrated form does at times do harm; but when eaten as an integral part of the many available fruits its use cannot be too highly lauded for both young and old. Oranges, grapes, prunes, dates, plums, and bananas are especially to be commended, and in lesser degree peaches, apricots, pears, apples, figs, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. " In all of these fruits, it is the sugar especially that gives food value to the article, while the mild acids and other extractives, together with the water of the fruit, help in other ways in the maintenance of good health. Where personal taste and inclination are favorably disposed, the first six fruits named can be partaken of freely, and the diet of the young, especially, can be advan- tageously modified by the liberal use of such articles of food.
