so that when present in the stomach they
retard the fermentation that constitutes
digestion. There is no proof that sugar Is
harmful to the teeth, although sweet foods
cling to the teeth, rapidly ferment and
thus produce acids, which may attack the
teeth.
Sugar is very fattening If properly as
simulated, and for this reason 1t should De
tabooed by those of corpulent tendencies.
Experience and experiment has demon
strated, as pointed out. that sugar is a
very valuable and readily assimilsble food,
though a highly-concentrated one, and for
that reason ii should be taken in con1unc-
ton with other foods 10 dilute 1t sand give
1t bulk. People who live In the iopen air
ton can add sugar TO their diet
at will. but those of sedentary habits
should not use ii in larger quantities than
three or four ounces a day. A lump OF SUI
gar contains as much nutrition as an ounce
of potato and is far more easilF assimi-
lated. In times of great exertioh, as are
likely to occur in army life. this feature
is particularly valuable. In warm coun-
tries sugar takes the place of fiat. and
either sugar or sweet fruits. as dates. figs.
etc, are eaten in large quantities in tropi-
cal climates. AS a source of muscular ener-
gy sugar is rapidly becoming recognized. so
that training diets are sometimes made TO
include large quantities Of II. az, for In
stance. in the rowing clubs of Holland
In conclusion, ii may be added that the
English-speaking people are the largest
consumers of sugar. ranging from eighty
six pounds per capita per annunt in Eng
land to sixty-four pounds in the United
States. Denmark and Switzerland con-
sumo about forty-five pounds per capita,
Germany, France and Holland thirty
pounds. while the poorer countries are near
the end of the list, Italy, Greece and Tur-
key, with a consumption of less than seven
pounds per capita. According to the bull
letin above quoted, the worlds annual
consumption of sugar is between seven
and eight million tons per year, and is
only limited apparently by the amount that
people can afford TO buy.

UNION LOSSES IN THE WAR.
Awful Destruction of Life fl the Four
Years Contest.
Sandusky (Ohio) Register.

OdIQuchy iOniOt LNc6ASbcis
A reader who has kept track Of tie losses
of the British in South Africa and the
losses on our side in the Philippines asks
about the losses of the Union armies in the
wor for the Union.
The total number of killed has been vari-
ously estimated. There were 2.2e2 distinct
battles and engagements. We lost sew
enty-three Union generals killed in action
and thirty-ive died of disease. The total
number of Union officers killed was 6.365.
The number of gunshot wounds treated In
hospitals was 235,5S5. The number OF gum
shot wounded who died in hospitals was
80, e53. The wounded who did not die imme-
diately from the effect of wounds was 49,
175.
The total number Of deaths were as fol-
lows. according TO the best estimates that
can be made-that lis. deaths directly dur
ing the war: Killed on the field or died
of mortal wounds, 1000; OF disease, 49,
40; deaths from all other causes, 49, 49,.
making a total Of 359.5S. IL is now gen.
orally understood that this does not include
all who died of disease, and that instead OF
$4,000. the aggregate would be close 10
400. 600.
Soon after the war the estimate OF the
number who died In prisons was very much
below the actual number. subsequently, a
corrected list was made, but even that was
believed TO be below the actual number.
IT has often been stated that there was a
very large percentage of the Union soldiers
OF foreign birth, hut that is not true. Sew
enty-fve per cent were American born. .
per cent. were Germans, : Per cent. Irish.
2z per cent. British-Americans, and 81 per
cent. all other nations. Nearly one-half
the total were farmers. the actual number
as reported being 4S per cent.
Reduced TO a three years standard. the
number of troops credited 10 the different
States and Territories during the war was
2,326, 1s9, of which Ohio furnished 3l2.ls0,
being outranked only by New York and
Pennsylvania. AT the time of the surren-
der of Lee there were over 100000 Union
soldiers under arms and ready lor duty.
The most destructive battle was Gettys-
burg. where the Union lost 200 killed on
wounded, and 5,4si reported missing. This
battle lasted three days. In the atlanta
campaign which continued from May "a 90
Aug. 81, 1864. a period OF three months. the
number killed on the field was 4.423. and
the number OF wounded 22.S2. and 4442
missing, some OF whom died In the effort
TO escape and some were captured. In the
battle az Spottsylvania and its vicinity the
number killed was IT'S. and the number
wounded was "a .46S. This battle lasted
from May S 20 May n. 1854.
The heaviest loss reported by the confed-
crates was I'm the seven days battle IN vir-
ginia IN 1859. The losses admitted were
3.47S killed. l6.2el wounded. and $50 miss
ing. The Confederate estimate az the time
of the losses at Gettysburg were 2u2
killed. l2.ss wounded. and 1876 missing
and captured
The combined losses at Gettysburg were
6.7S2 killed n $40 wounued.
