he swears at his wife and nags her life

4WEETER THAN A BEST GIRL.

Sugar, Molasses and Honey Arc Nowhere
In Comparison With Saccharine.
An industry still young. but unques-
tionably with a great mercantile future,
is that of saecharine, q product OF coal
tar. 1t is substitute for sugar. has
none of its bulk and is 30 powerful that
it is 800 times sweeter. The history OF
its discovery is interesting.
In 1879 DR.. Constantine Fahlberg. d
Russian by birth, but who had been ed:
ucated in Germany, became connected
with the Johns Hopkins university in
Baltimore. There he conducted series
of experiments on the toluene sulpha-
mides, in order to investigate their oxi-
dation products.
The outgrowth Of this investigation
was the discovery of saccharine. By
oxidizing pure orthotoluene sulphamide
it was found that it would yield q re-
markably sweet compound. The amount
obtained, however, was too small to b6
Of any practical value for manufactur-
ing purposes. The problem thenceforth
was to find other reactions which would
give better yield of the sweet body. A
long and exhaustive series of laboratory
experiments extending through several
years were necessary for the satisfac-
tory development of the chemical proc
ess of production.
AS might be expected, a discovery Of
such practical utility had to run tho
gantlet of much hostile criticism. Il
formed fruitful subject for discussion
in various scientific societies and jour:
nails. Attempts were made to show that
it was not only deleterious, but danger:
ous. It is only fair to say, however; that
these arguments seem to have been sue
cessfully controverted. An overwhelm:
ing mass of expert testimony is recorded
in favor of saccharine. Eminent profess.
ors, like Sir H. e. Roscoe in London,
Leyden in Berlin, Paul in Paris, Won
Barth in Vienna, and . host Of others;
after thorough tests, have certified that
the effects Of saccharine upon the phys:
ical and psychical functions Of the brute
and human systems are entirely harm
less.
Saccharine in its pure condition is .
white powder. Various exclusive ad:
vantages are claimed for its use in the
arts, household and medicine. To emu
merate few: It is 30 small in bulk that
the saving in storage and freight Is Of
course very great; its valuable antiseptic
qualities make it especially available In
preserving as well as sweetening articles
of food, such as jellies, fruits. etc. In tho
distilling Of brandies and liquors and In
the brewing Of beer saccharine has BEEN
used with signal success. Mixed with
glucose, saccharine has q sweetness equal
to the finest refined sugar. Further.
saccharine serves distinctly medical
purpose. It is employed to disguise th6
unpleasant taste Of medicine and in the
preparation Of medicated wines and 9th
er cordiala It has also been highly In
dorsed as substitute for sugar for those
suffering from diabetes and from fat
ness. Unlike sugar, It does not go 10
form surplus nourishment. Finally II
may be added that this highly concen-
trated sweetening substance requires
only little intelligence to be successful
ly used in the household. d.-Washingtou

A manager who eXpends thousands
of dollars in order that nothing will
be neglected that might add to the
enjoyment of his patrons certainly
deserves success, and. as a rule. he
generally gets it, if the public would
endeavor to discriminate between re-
sponsible companies and those who

but, unfortunately, there are hum
dreds which are utterly devoid of
merit. Now, any one can tell at a
glance if they see 4 magnificent new

great outlay of money to erect it..
and the stock in such a store is gem

of reasoning to theatrical enterprises:
for instance: When you sec a show

many items of a great show. and the
same good taste which provides this

other department of the show. So
there is not doubt that the produce
ton of ..Shc Couldn't Marry Three
is the biggest show of the season.
