factories in Louisiana, Is in Texas
and Il in Florida. Three sorghum
factories are reported, two in Kan
sas and one in Minnesota: seven
beet factories, one in Utah, three
in California, two in Nebraska and
one in Virginia. OF the 424 sugar
houses in operation in Louisiana in

horse power. Nearly all have in
trodaced modern apparatus. By
the old process it is said that 2l64
pounds Of sugar were produced to

of cane. On the other hand, with

ARE YOU A BRAIN
WORKER?

These facts are of interest to the
man who works not with his hands,
but knows the intense WEAKNESS
that comes from brain toll.
Blanched almonds give the higher
brain and muscles food. There il
no heat and waste following on
their consumption.
Walnuts give brain and nerve
food, but there is heat and waste.
Pine kernels serve as a substitute
for bread.
Green water-grapes are of little
food value, but are bloOd-purify-
ing if the skin and seeds are not
eaten. Blue grapes are feeding
and blood-purifying, and are too
rich for those who suffer from the
liver.
Tomatoes are thinning and
stimulating, and the skins should
never be eaten.
Apples supply muscle and nerve
food, but do not give stay.
Prunes afford the highest brain
or nerve food, but should be
avoided by sufferers from their
liver.
Oranges are refreshing and feed
ing, but are not good if the liver
is out of order.
Green figs are excellent food.
Dried figs contain nerve and mus
Gle food, but are bad for the liver.
All stone fruits are considered
injurious for sufferers from the
tyrannical liver, and should be
eaten cautiously.
Lemons and tomatoes should not
be used daily in cold weather, rs
they have thinning and cooling
effect. @

In the United States the birth
rate exceeds the death rate 81 per
cent, and this accounts in q large
measure for the rapid growth of
our population, which, in the
course of time, will make us a ma
ton of enormous strength. In
France, however, the birth rate ex-
ceeds the death rate by only 4 per
cent, and this is due to the fact
that the French people regard the
rearing of children as an entirely
ordeal.
