THE SUGAR HABIT
 IN THIS COUNTRY
Has Doubled Four Times in a Hun
 dred Years.

Washington, September 24.-The peo- pie of the United States now consume eight times as much sugar per capita as they did in the first quarter of the last century, four times as much as the average per capita during the de- cade ending with 1850 and twice as much as they did in any year prior to 1870. In the years immediately prior to 1925 the average consumption of sugar was about pounds per capita, in the decade 1S40-50 about Is pounds per capita, in the years immediately prior to 1870 the average was about 32 pounds per capita (omitting the war years, in which the consumption was light, from 1870 to 1880 it averaged about 40 pounds per capita, from 1880 to 1890 50 pounds per capita; in 1891 the figure was 66 pounds per capita. and has ranged from 62 to 6S pounds per capita since that time, the figure for 1901 being 6S.4 pounds. This steady growth in the per capita consumption of sugar is shown by some figures which the bureau of statistics will pre- sent in the next issue of it's annual volume, the Statistical Abstract The per capita consumption has been matter of record during recent years. but it has not been before practicable to compare the per capita consumption of recent years with that of earlier years. and to note the very rapid in crease in the quantity consumed by each individual of the country.
 This growth in the consumption of sugar is, evidently, not confined to the people of the United States The in- crease seems to have been equally rapid in other parts of the world, judging from the figures of total production. Figures recently published by the bu- reau of statistics in its monograph, "The Worlds Sugar Production and Consumption" showed that the sugar pi Cduction of the world was eight

times as great in 1900 as in 1S4O the figure for 1S40 being 1,150,000 tons and that for 1900 S,SOO,OOO tons. This in- crease in production, and consequently in consumption, has come largely through the development of the beet sugar industry, which increased from a production of 5OOOO tons in 1S40 to 100000 tons in 1850. S3l ,OO0 tons in 1870, 1,403,000 tons in 1880, 3,633, ,0OO tons in 1890, and 5,950 000 tons in 1900. During the same time cane sugar production increased from 1,1O0,OOO tons in 1S40 to 2,S50,000 tons in 1900 Beets in 1S40 sup piled 4.35 per cent of the total sugar product of the world in 1850 they sup piled l420 per cent. in 1860 2043 per cent, in 1870 34.40 per cent, in 1890 63.70 per cent and in 1900 CIT per cent.
 The per capita consumption of sugar in the United States is greater than that of any other country, except the United Kingdom, in which the annual consumption ranges from S. to 91 pounds per capita, against from 50 to 6S pounds in the United States, the figure of consumption for 1900 in the United Kingdom being 91.6 pounds per capita.

SOLDIERS KEPT MOVING.

Scranton. Pa, September 24.-Three calls were made on the Thirteenth reSl- ment today to quell disturbances. The first came at 9 o'clock in the morning from Jahnson No. colliery at Price burg. where strikers were holding up a coal train with Instructions on the track and threats against train hands' Majcr B. Rushfield with two companies hurried thither on a special tram anu dispersed the crowd. This evening the same soldiers were called to the same place to disperse crowd that was chasing non-union men returning from work. Two strikers, one with an axe and the other with a knife were ar rested by the soldiers and taken to camp.
 About 5:3O D. m. two Huagarians were returning from work at the Tenn ple company's Sterrick Creek colliery in Jessup and were chased by a crowd of strikers. mostly foreigners. The fugitives fired several shots and this brought the whole neighbCrhood to the scene. Immediately general hunt was organized by strikers and their sympathizers with non-uniOn men com ing from all the adjacent collieries as their quarry.
 Half dozen different groups c. non union men were chased by as many different crowds in as many different direC ti0ns. Shots were freely eN- changed. While the neighborhood was still in an uproar two militia companies from the camp at Oliphant four miles away arrived and the huntsmen sought cover.
 Charles Webster. Cf Rockville, had three ribs broken and his head broken; Charles Foley of Rockville had his head badly gashed with a stone. Fred Ma son. of Oliphant. was badly used up by blows from clubs and stones. All three work at Storrick Creek.

Philadelphia, September 24.-Of the ten anthracite producing counties of Pennsylvania, state troops are camped in five. Despite the presence sOf the troops in these districts rioting and general lawlessness continue in the entire hard coal territory from Forest City, Susquehanna county, on the north to WilliamstCwn, Dauphin county, on the south, a distance of more than 100 miles. The section of the strike region in the vicinity of Forest City, which has been comparatively quiet ever since the strike began, was greatly wrought up today by crowds of strikers interfering with and beating men who had returned to work, and as a result Sheriff Macy of Susquehanna county tonight asked Governor Stone for troops to assist him and other civil authorities to preserve peace.
 At present there are four full regi- ments, two companies of another and two troops of cavalry in the field. The Thirteenth regiment is camped at Oli- phant, six miles north of Scranton; the Ninth is quartered at its armory in Wilkesbarre; the Eighth regiment and the Second Philadelphia city trocp are under canvas on top of hill overlook ing Shenandoah; one battalion of the Twelfth and the governors troop are in Panther Creek valley and one bat talion Cf the Twelfth is preserving or der in the city of Lebanon, where the iron and steel workers are on strike.
 If the disorders continue Governor Stone will be compelled to call out ad- ditional soldicrst While there has been no big riot, the disturbances have been of such a serious nature as to cause the authorities much apprehension. Every effort is being made by the sher- ifs of the several counties affected and the troops to prevent disturbances from growing to such an extent as to cause bloodshed. Reports are coming in from every section of non-uniOn men being either shot or clubbcd. The houses oi workmen have been burned or dyna- mited and attempts have been made to hold up coal trains or derail them.
 Coal is being shipped from many parts of the coal fields to market, but compared with the normal output the quantity is insignificant. The output for this week will be much less than the average production for one day. The strikers assert that very little coal is freshly mined, and that it is mostly coal washed from culm banks or that has been stored at various points since the strike began. President Mitchell of the Miners UniCn had no comment to make today on the movement of troops into Luzerne county. He said the strike situation was unchanged.

II had drank coffee since babyhood, and although 1 was very nervous and dyspeptiC 1 could not and would not believe that coffee had anything to do with it," writes an American lady now living in Munich, Germany.
 My physician finally convinced me that coffee was at the bottom of all my troubles, and l tried many things to take its place, but nothing satisfied the craving for real coffee. At last, one day in half-hearted, despairing mood [ bought from the grocer some Postum Food Coffee. My grownup daughter, who by the way had inherited my taste for coffee and also my nervousness, laughed and said,-Don't you know that nothing can take the place of well made coffee, half Java and half Mocha, with plenty of rich cream2'
 I firmly believe it, I replied, but q drowning man will grasp at a straw, and I am getting more nervous every day, and can hardly eat anything at all, and Dr. S., like the rest of the physi- clans, tells me it all comes from coffee.'
 So next morning l personally made a pot of Postum, following closely the di- rections-and such a surprise! The color was d rich, dark, whey brown. and a pleasant aroma greeted the nos trils. But the taste-the crucial test! l confess I feared to put it to the test for fear of another disappointment.
 But not so with my daughter, who eagerly made the trial and fairly shoutcd:-'Hurrah! Mamma, you have found it at last I tried it and that ended our coffee drinking for good. The flavor was full and rich and left nothing to be desired.
 In a short time, my dyspepsia disap- peared and as for nerves,-my daughter and myself almost forgot that such things existed, until we came to Ger many and I had to go back to coffee and we are again as nervous and dys- peptic as we used to be. But we don't intend to let it go on; I have written to America for good supply of Pos tum and propose to always have it in the future at any cost. Life is miser- able to use without Postum.
 When we used it, Postum proved the most gentle of conquerors and loaded us with benefits in the way of strength ened health and quiet nerves" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.

 SOnabIy Comfortable
It Will Be at Least Ten Days Before He Can Resume Activity-West- ern Journey Postponed Until Next Spring.

Washington, September 24-President Roosevelt returned to Washington at half-past o'clock tonight via the Pennsylvania railroad from Indianapo- lis, where he was compelled to abandon his western trip because of an abscess on the leg which developed as the re- suit of the trolley accident at Pitts field, Mass. He stood the journey from Indianapolis remarkably well, and when he was carried in a wheel chair from the train to his carriage he was ln excellent spirits and appeared to be free from any pain.
 With Mrs. Roosevelt the president was driven directly to the temporary White house on Jackson place, where according to present arrangements ha will remain until his wound is healed and he is able to again to be on his feet. The president was taken to his room on the second floor of the house and made comfortable and the wound was dressed.
 Later he was reported to be resting easily and the expectation is that with in ten days the president will be him self again. The trip home from Indian apolis was an uneventful one. He re- mained in bed all day and executive business on the train was practically discontinued.
 In his talk with callers the president made known his determination to visit the northwest next spring, when he will extend his trip as far as the coast. Secretary Cortelyou at 9:30 o'clock made the following statement: "The presidents physicians report that he stood the trip home very we'll, and it is believed the local inflammatory symp- toms will subside in week or ten days 1 if his leg is absolutely at rest"
