GIRLS THAT EAT SUGAR.
A London Physician Says They Grow
TalI-Lengthened Sweet

That English girls just reaching
womanhood, and the next gener-
alton int it's early teens, are un-
usually tall standing head or
more above their mothers = has
been remarked on over and over
again, and has been made the sub
ject of learned disquisitions. Yet no
generally accepted cause has been
given for the fact up to this time.
Now comes London physician of
note and says that it is simply case
Of heightened sweetness, says the De-
troit Free Press. BY sweetness IN
this particular case the nature Of the
young ladies is not referred to, but
their diet. In fact. statistics of recent
years show that Americans and Brit
ons of both sexes are increasing in
height and weight. Why? The physi-
clan referred to says it is sugar. But
then it is equally well known that tor
much sugar destroys the digestion. So
sugar-eaters must beware!
Great Britain and America are the
sugar-eating nations of the world anf
have quadrupled their saccharine con
sumption in the last score of years.
This is now the best explanation o1
an accepted fact, and it will have II
stand until better one is brought for
ward.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Edward NJ.
Shepard and George Foster Peabody
addressed the members of the Young
Mems Bible class of the Fifth Avenue
church, New York city, the other
evening. Mr.. Rockefeller, to illus
trate the influence for good of one
man over another, told of the rise
of classmate from a factory boy to
professorship in a university and
of the influence this mans career
had on his own life. Mr.. Rockefeller
said:
"To earn money with which to edu-
cate himself he worked for a travel

a stage carpenter. We did not think
he was much of fellow until ke

He wished to continue his studies in
history at another university, and
loaned him 5000. Later he became d
professor in history at that institu

first prize for historical work
from the American Historical soci

loan right along and once in awhile
he paid little on the prin 'ipal

A Needed Rcbuke.

Once when Queen Alexandra was re-
turning from sail with her daugh-
ters, who were then little children, an
old sailor instinctively said to one Of
them, who was walking up the planL:
Take care. little lady!" I'm not a
lady," haughtily retorted the chill.

overheard the kindly injunction ard
the rather ill-bred reply, said, quickly:

White, the penurious, nodded assent.
"All right" said Snow; "three hun

SAUSAGE AND CAKES.

The feasts of Lucullus
Were only quick lunches,
Delmonico's dinners
But boarding house steaks,
The Waldorf -Astoria's
Spreads only munches
Compared with fried sausage
And hot buckwheat cakes.
1t may be al six
OF a cold winters morning,
BY the Pickering light
That tallow dip makes,
The true epicure,
All environment scorning,
Will gladly eat sausage
And hot buckwheat cakes
It may be the turner
Is held by q loved one,
Who knows. just exactly
The batter it takes,
And is never at fault
But is sure it is just done,
And ready to add
To your sausage and cakes.
But it makes little difference,
Wherever you find them,
If only they're good
And not sodden mistakes.
At homa or abroad
You surely won't mind them
If nicely cooked sausage
And hot buckwheat cakes.

William T. Stead says that Lord
Rothschild, commonly known as Nat

the financial influence which he exer-
cises he has made himself social and

Jett-white Case May BE a Mistrial

hHtC S"SS may DC A
CYNTHIANA, Ky, Aug. 14.-In the
case of Jet and White Judge L. H.
Fryer, commemorative attorney, made
the closing argument. He said to the
jurors that if they turned these men
loose they might as well go home and
let anarchy and assassination reign.
The case then went to the jury. Later
Judge Osborne directed Sheriff Leach
to call the jury from the room. He
asked them if they had reached their
verdict. Foreman McCauley said they
had not. The court then put them
again in charge of the sheriff and told
them that after supper they might dis
cuss the case among themselves and
then retire for the night. They are to
report this morning. Judge Osborne
stated that he intended keeping them
over Sunday if they did not soone
render a verdict. 1t is the opinion of
all that a mistrial will be the result.
