LIES AND ISLANDERS

Usually react upon their authors.
A certain insurance agent of Willmar
and member of the insurance trust
has been circulating the statement
that the Minneapolis Fire and Marine
Mutual Insurance Co., which is repre-
scented by F. P. 0lney had a policy on
the building known as the Bonde
building which was recently damaged
by fire and refused to pay. Also that
the company is not good and does not
promptly pay its losses. The facts
are that neither the company nor. Mr.
Olney had q policy on that building
nor the contents and it was q ntboard''
company that did the kicking if any
was done, but then these people must
say something to induce people to pay
two prices for their insurance, and q
man who will enter into q combination
to do up his neighbors and friends
must not be expected to tell the truth
where 9 lie will make him q dollar.

side circles of the G. o. p? Did not
the senate simply abide by the senti-
ment as expressed in the last Republi-
can state platform? Did that plat
form have anything to say regarding
the taxation of railroad corporations?
Did Mr.. Eustis or any other republic
can orator advocate the increase of
the gross earnings tax? Then why
are these republicans alarmed? But
John Lind advocated it, and the
populists, democrats and independ-
ent republicans demanded it? Well,
should not the republicans be glad
that their senate defeated dangerous"
populistic demands?
1t is such actions as these that open
the eyes of thepeople. They will learn
that instead of blindly following the
lead of party manipulators, they must
look to the men and satisfy themselves
as to the attitude of the men they vote
for upon the questions that directly
concern their welfare. It is foolish to
vote for a man pledged to nothing and
expect something. 1t is folly likewise
to plant sour crab tree and expect
good fruit. The people have learned
to their sorrow that the fact that a
man is labeled ''republican" is not a
sufficient reason for electing him as a
law-maker.

SOME SUGGESTIONS
As to the Use Of Sugar as Food
Some of ms Eat too Much.

AS to the Use of. Sugar as Food.
Some of MS Eat too Much.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE re-
suits. of an exhaustive investigation OF
the use Of sugar as food are given In a
bulletin soon to be issued by the depart-
ment of agriculture. The bulletin at
tributes the great popularity OF sugar
to Its pleasant flavor, together with
what Is now known OF its nutrltive
value. 1t draws the conclusion that
people cat as much sugar as they can
get and the consumption Of sugar in
different countries is. in general. proper
tional to their wealth." The English
speaking people are said to be the larg-
est sugar users. England consumed in
1895. Sc pounds per capita and the United
States "a pounds. although still larger
amounts are said to DO consumed in
sugar growing districts, largely in the
form of ripe cane. Between 1000. 900 and
5000, 900 tons are used annually in the
different couptrles Of the world.
Discussing the practical food valuea
the bulletin stamps q msaly boiled potn-
to or lump Of laundry starch as. In
fact, very near akin to n, lump Of sugar.
The conclusions summed up are: The
EMBELLISHMENTS OF sweetened foods
and their utilization by the system is
largely question Of quantity and con-
centration. In the American cuisine
sugar is used with too many Kinds Of
food, with a consequent loss in,variety
and plquancy of flavor In the different
dishes. The nutty flavor Of grains and
the natural,taste Of mild fruits is con-
cealed by the addition Of large Quanti-
