I thought we were not eating any of the cursed poisons. We gave up evaporated peaches be- cause they are bleached with sulphur ; so are apricots, white raisins, etc. We will buy no more molasses, and no more candy, as pure candy cannot be made from poisoned molasses and sugar. " What can we get in place of those that are sweet and pure .?' Well, we have 2 gallons of pure white honey, strictly guaranteed. We don't believe there is any sulphurous acid in that. We have maple syrup made by neigh- bors which is undoubtedly pure, and we buy the dark colored, unbleached raisins instead of the white bleached ones which are poisoned, and ;;o on. Perhaps you think the little poison we would get from eating molasses, or candy, or dried peaches, etc., would not do any noticeable harm. It would not kill us directly it is not likely.

Terry has been so slow to recognize honey at its true value as a conserver of health and strength. Let us hope that he will get into the light a little more fully, and inform his readers that it will be greatly for the health of the nation, and especially for the chil- dren of
