The State of New York alone prints more

the equator. Graphic illustrations of
the miles and miles of books grdlng the
earth, the mountains of magazines and
papers towering high before us, and the

add little to our conception of the educa

There is no reason why this country
should not raise all sugar it consumes.
1t has expended billions of dollars for
foreign sugar which should have been
produced at home. Each year from
500, 600, 900 to 5000, 900, 600 is spent for
foreign sugar. The American wheat
shipped abroad this year will no. pay for
the su"ar we have to export. Our wheat
exports never offset Jour sugar imports.
We can raise sugar as we'll AS wheat.
There are hundreds of millions of acres
in this country well adapted to the pro-
duction of sugar beets. Most of the
world's sugar SUPPLY is produced from

the West the sugar beet industry is grow

There is in London at the present time
an individual who can scarcely be described
otherwise than as smile" doctor. For
small fee he will transfer the most uncome-
ly laugh or smile into a dainty and elegant
playfulness Of the lips-only he must have
his fee first.
As many know. 1t Is no easy matter to
control the gambols of the lips and mouth.
and small wonder, then, that the services
Of the smile" doctor are greatly in de-
mand.
On the occasion of every visit. this gen.
tleman puts his subject. through certain
lip and mouth exercises which are of his
own invention, and by constant practice the
desired pretty smile is obtained In q few
weeks. Actresses and music hall artistes
largely patronize this smiling tutor, and
rumor has 1t that the individual In ques-
ton is. In this way. fast amassing wealth
