The morning was all that New

that was due her for milk, tellin e her at

wanted for month.
"Folks going away?' gueried Mrs.
Dale.

Rob, and then hastily made his escape.
Mr.. Newbury paid the rent and the
little account at the corner store: Mrs.
Newbury, the butcher, the baker, the
coal man and the grocery man, while
Maud's heart was rejoiced by paying
Mrs. Peters for making her dress.
1t thus happened for the first time in
years that the Newburys were wholly
free from debt and they confessed to
each other at night that this condition

SUGAR AND MUSCLE.
Experiment Proves Sugar to Ne
Strength Food


Strength Food
Those who are fond OF food which
contains sugar viii be pleased at the
result of experiments recently made
at the instigation Of the Prussian war
Office. 1t is a fact we'll known to the
Alpine tourists that On difficult climb
ing excursions an increased desire is
felt for sweets and sweetened foods,
and many who never touch such things
at home deyour large quantities of them
on these tours.
1t is also frequently remarked that
the guides eagerly appropriate any
sugar that may be left over. and con-
sumo it cn the journey. Whether the
sugar afforded real benefit to the noun
tain-climber was the subject of the in
vestigation-thati is,- did the consump-
tion of sugar render the tired muscles
capable of renewed exertion2
To answer the question conciusirely
the subject of the experiment was not
allowed to know that test was being
made. On one day sweet liquid, con-
tanning 30 grammes OF sugar was ad-
-ministered; on the next a similar liq uid,
sweetered by saccharin to render it
indistinguishable from the other, 80
far as taste was concerned. took the
place of the sugar
The result was a complete triumph
for the sugar. It was found that a
greater amount of work could be &c
complished On the days when the sugar
was given than on those when saccha--
rim took its place. This serves, as far
as it goes. to prove that sugar is food
in true sense, and that it is in particu-
lar food for the muscles--Youth's CoR-

forehead in disgust
'-I'Il get paper and pencil and reckon

After setting down a column of fig

ceding administration
Not a single American citizen is now un-
der arrest or in confinement in Cuba, Of
Mhom this government has any knowledge.
The near future Will demonstrate whether
the indispensable condition of q righteous
peace, just alike &c the Cubans and to Spain,
as well as equitable to all our interests so
intimately involved in the welfare/of Cuba,
is likely to be attained If not. other action
by the United States will remain to be
taken.
When that time comes that action will be
determined in the line of indisputable right
and duty. 1t will be faced without misgiv-
ing or hesltancy, in the light of the obliga-
tlon the government owes to itself, to the
people who have confided to it the protec-
ton of their interests and honor and to hu-

Sure of the right, keeping free from, all

by passion nor selhshness. the government
will continue its watchful care over the
rights and property of American citizens,
and will abate none of its efforts to bring
about by. peaceful agencies a peace which
shall be honorable and enduring. If 1t shall
hereafter appear to be a duty imposed by
our obligations to ourselves, to civilization

shall be without fault ON our part, and only
