Sugar, Molasses and Honey Are Nowhere
In Comparison with saccharine.

sugar, molaSses and Honey are NoWtl~re
In Comparison with saccharine.
An industry still young. but unques-
tionably with great mercantile future,
is thato saccharino. a product of coal
tar. 1t is substitute for sugar, haS
none Of its bulk and is so powerful that
it is 500 times sweeter. The history of
its discovery is interesting.
In 1879 DR.. Constantine Fahlberg, a
Russian by birth. but who had been ed.
seated 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-
dstion products.
The outgrowth OF this investigation
was the discovery of saccharine. By
axidizing pure orthotoluene sulphamide
sslwas found that it would yield re-
nariably sweet compound. The amount
obtained, however, was too small to be
0f,any practical value for manufacture
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 We're necessary for the satisfac-
tory development of the chemical proc
ass of production.
AS might be expected, discovery Of
such practical utility had to run the
gauntlet Of much hostile criticism. 1t
formed fruitful subject for discussion
in various scientific societies and jour
mails, Attempts were made to show that
1t was not only deleteriops, but danger
GUS. 1t 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 Parts, Vor
Barth in Vienna. and host of others,
after thorough tests, have certified thai
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: 1t is SO 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 the
distilling of brandies and liquors and in
the brewing of beer saccharine has been
used with signal success. Mixed with
glucose, saceharine has sweetness equal
TO the finest refined sugar. Further,
saccharino serves distinctly medical
purpose. 1t is employed to disguise the
unpleasant taste of medicine and in the
preparation Of medicated wines and 9TH
or cordias 1t has also been highly in
6orsed IN II substitute for sugar for those
suffering from diabetes and from fat
ness. Unlike sugar, it does not go to
form surplus nourishment. Finally it
may be added that this highly concen
trated sweetening substance requires
only little intelligence to be successful.

The Fraternal Union of America.

The Fraternal Union of America.
This order, now being organized in
Pullman, is recognized as the strongest
development OF the day along fraternal
benefit lines. Its plans are modern and
the very best that can be devised. 1t
protects itstlf as well AS its members, and
thus becomes great permanent institu-
ton. II has met with singular success
and its growth is attracting the attention
OF the entire fraternal world. This is not
! surprising when its superior plan is fully
understood ; q plan which is not only en-
dorsed by the leading fraternal order men
and insurance journals throughout the
| United States. An insurance.for which
it is rot necessary "to die to win" is ex-
ceedingly popular, and the fact that both
sexes are admitted on equal terms, wins
| thousands of friends for this great frater-
nifty. As guarantee of the permanency
and solidity of this order it may be men
toned that it is a member OF both the
National Fraterntl Congress and the
American Fraternal Congress- These
two great bodies are composed of forty
! two of the leading lodges of the United
States and no order is admitted unless
its standing is gilt-edge Much could be
said about the benefits of the Fraternal
Union of America, but space forbids 60
ing into detail. Its most important fea-
lures are as follows: death Benefits.
In case OF death, 5000. Il 200 or 81, 400.
AN Immediate Funeral Benefit:
Fifty dollars on each $500 of the certif-
cate is paid Immediately on receiving no.
tice of death, without waiting for the us
ual formaltes
3-Total Disability Benefits:
One half Of the face of the certificate is
paid in cash, if a member becomes total
ly disabled from disease or accident.
Accident Benefits:
Accident benefits are paid to members
at the rate of $500 per week, for each
81 200 of the certificate.
5--ln Force When Sick:
A member cannot be suspended when
sick or disabled, and is kept in good
standing for two months in any year, if
out of employment.
6--Sick Benefit Fund:
The local lodge provides sick benefit
fund ofsfrom $500 to $500 per week.
IA Time to Quit Paying and Cash Re-
turned.
When Il member has reached his ex-
pectancv of life according to the Ameri-
can tables OF mortality, he receives one
half OF the amount Of his certificate and
paid up policy for the remainder.
This is one OF the great features of the
Fraternal Union and one that is fair and
business-like. There are no death asses
ments or anything of the kind to pay, as
each member pays for his own insurance
and no one elses. The order simply has
a contract with each member agreeing to
insure him or her for about $250oO per
T,C0O.O0 payable monthly, and allows
about 30 years to pay it in.
W. q. Emery, Deputy Sup. Pres. of
the order, makes his headquarters at the
HERALD Office and will be pleased to give
full particulars to anyone interested.

The Influence OF Association.

One sometimes wonders ut the singuias
lapses into slovenly and illiterate blum
ders conspicuous in men and women who
should know better" True, they should
and probably do know better, but in
daily practice few people rise very much
above the ordinary level Of those With
whom they always converse. A city
bred girl went to live IL a part of the
country where proyincialisms are the
current coin OF daily talk Returning a
few years later TO her home. no one
would have supposed her to be tho same
person, so many gaeer little phrases aud
downright forms Of speech, inelegaut
and lacking in good form. had she. a very
susceptible person, picked up and adopt

AEeaiinE the Declaration of independence.
When James Monroe was president
and John Quincy Adams secretary OF
state, an ingenious English engrsver OBJ
tanned permission of the two dignitaries
mentioned TO take the Declaration of In
dependence and en&rave it in facsimile
On copper. He carried the precious docu.
ment to the printing Office of one Peter
Force. When everything was in readi-
ness. he placed it upon the imposing
stone and laid a sheet of india paper OF
the same size upon ii. This india paper
was next mOistened with water in which
gum arabic had been dissolved. A heavy
proof roller with weight hanging from
each end was then rolled several times
over the historic document When the
india paper was removed from the face
CT the instrument, it took with it at least
oue-half of the ink used in writing and
signing the document.
The document is less than a century
and quarter years old. and with proper
care should be almost as legible as it was
on the 9th day of July, l776 AS it is,
only II signatures ont of the 53 eau be
read without glass, and some OF them
have disappeared beyond recall, all on
account of the thieying trick of gov
eminent which. when they found that
they could not keep the colonies depend

ment which declares oar Independence

1898 the Commissioners levied 1Cents
for each one hundred dollars OF AK
bic property in the county to pay the
interest on Agricultural Bonds No. /,
and 5 cents on each ore hundred dol
lars TO pay interest on Agricultural
Bonds No. ?. Taking the value OF
taxable property in the county for
1897 as a basis, a very little ~calculat-
ing on the part of the Commissioners
would have shown them that the lew
of three cents on a hundred dollars
could not possibly have produced

ON Agricultural Bonds No. 2: neither
can we understand why a levy OF four

made in favor of Agricultural Bonds
