is the stuff that is sold cheap on the
Northern market for cane syrup.
Corn syrup is made from starch
which is mostly made from corn, hence
the name. 1t is chemically known
as glucose. A great deal of corn sy-
rup is made from potatoes, cassaN,
or anything that will make starch.
The starch is reduced to thick, gum
my light-colored fluid, by treatment
of sulphuric acid, and has a greasy,
suIphury taste. French chemist de-
scrtbes the process as follows: "Glu-
cose is prepared by causing sulphuric
acid to react upon potato starch, and
made to boil. Then the liquid has it's
acidity neutralized by being saturated
with carbonate of lime. The liquor
is then left to settle. Sulphate of
lime is deposited. The clear liquor is
inferred through bone black" and this
is corn syrlIp"

Garden Notes-"Cos" Lettuce.

Lettuce is popular vegetable and
deservedly so. In its perfection it is
a luxury OF the garden not much, If
any, Inferior TO celery or tomato. Some
may prefer it to either of these.
Lettuce is more easily grown than any
other salad, and with the aid of a little
glass or vanished cloth can be pro-
'vided all during the winter. But the
lettuce that is grown in the open air
is the kind grown to the greatest per-
fection and the most enjoyed 1t is
more grateful to the palate in the warm
weather of springtime than it is in
winter. Perfect lettuce is head lettuce,
heads white and firm as cabbage head
and crisp culled from the garden, while
still flecked with dew. 1t is not fit

lettuce, but any kind that will make a
solid white head is worthy of being
grown.
If not already sown and under way

ground as soon as hard freezes are
over. The soil must be made as rich
as possible with old compost if prac-
ticable. 1t is not easy to make it too

splendid vegetable when grown to

claim that market gardeners in the

NAIL BITING A DISEASE.
Fashionable Manicure Says HABIT
Develops Into Disease.


From the New York Press.
The head school teacher, who sat at
the end of a row of six girls at
matinee, saw one of them take off her
gloves as soon as the lights went down
and the curtain went up. She watch
ed When the girl thought her teach
er's attention was concentrated on the
stage one of her hands went to her
lips.
Miss Blank" said the chaperon,
leaning over and speaking so that
everybody seated around her could
hear, 81 must ask you to stop biting
your nails and put your gloves on
Immediately"
The other girls Uttered, and the par
ticular one who had offended did as
she was told looking very much humll-
lated.
Poor child" said a sympathetic
woman sitting in the row behind.
Il frequently find it necessary to
administer a rebuke of this sort to
girls with the nail-biting habit" said
the chaperon to a friend who asked
about it, CAN teachers do. A lesson
of that sort is worth ten admonitions
in private. There is no better way
to break pupil of a bad habit like
biting the nails than to shame her out
OF II. WdTLl6u MISS Dldllh USlOAC We
started for the theater that l should
rebuke her if I caught her biting her
nails, and she promised not to do 1t.
When l saw her stealthily drawing off
her gloves l knew what was coming.
We have to watch the girls with the
nail-biting habit in church, in the
theater and everywhere they go in pub
lie. 1t is almost impossible to make
them keep their gloves on"
A fashionable manicure up town adj
vertises to cure nail biting. He says
he has many patrons among girls and
women.
TT is an exceptional thing to find
a man who bites his nails" he said to
"a reporter for the Sunday Press, but
l have known of some cases. Nail
biting is a disease, the same as itch
ing scalp or anything of that sort. To
a certain extent it is a habit, but the
habit develops the disease, which is
called onychopagie.
when 1 was in Paris four years
ago, 1 first learned about the treat
ment for it, and at once introduced
it in my business here. Far from be-
ing a harmless habit, resulting only
in unsightly hands, nail biting is a
prolific cause of nervous disorders in
girls and women. 1t requires various
forms of treatment, according to the
condition and surroundings OF the VIC
tim. The best time to stop it is in
childhood. Parents and school teachers
who find children biting their nails
should not only severely reprimand
them, but punish them in a way that
will be remembered. In my opinion
the teacher you tell about gave the
young woman a wholesome lesson"

II depends upon how one is situated
whether it will pay better to keep
poultry simply for the eggs or raise
chickens or combine the two. To make
poultry raising a very great success, it
is necessary to have a range for the
@fowls. 1t is quite possible to keep a
flew hens in a very limited space for
the sake of the fresh eggs that they
will furnish, but where it is attempted
ITO keep them uninterruptedly in
houses it will not be long usually be-
fore disease makes its appearance and
puts veto upon the business.
1t is not possible to keep poultry
healthy when confined in small houses
through all kinds of Northumberland
the entire year unless they can have
an outdoor range on which they can
spend a part of their time.
If the poultry house is sufficiently
large and due attention is given to
keeping it perfectly clean by frequent
cleansing, and the feeding and water
ing is what ii ought to be, limited
number of fowl may be kept on very
small premises, but whether to any

have exercise to do WELL and this they
do not get when kept constantly shut

ducing eggs.

Cane syrup is made of the Southern
sugar cane by evaporation, without
extracting any of the sugar. A gal
lon of cane syrup contains eight pounds
of granulated sugar, or in other
words. a sugar refinery would get
eight pounds of granulated sugar from
it, says the Indiana Farmer. Hence
a gallon of cane syrup has a food
product equal to eight pounds of SUI
gar, and it has been found that a SOL
der can march all day without IA
tigue by consuming a half pound of
sugar.
Prof. Wiley. United States chief
chemist, says: Cane syrup is simply
water and sunshine manipulated in
natures laboratory. So If most OF the
water is evaporated. little but sugar
and sunshine will be left. Cane syrup

CAPTURED THE NEGRO
Who Committed Criminal Assault in
webster County.

Americas, Ga, Jan. 3.-Cowering in
a steel cage at police barracks here,
lobe Thornton, the negro brute who
criminally assaulted Miss Dismukes,
young lady of Webster county. two
days ago, awaited to-day the coming
of the sheriff of Webster county.
Thornton was captured last night by
Police Chief Feagin and Sheriff Bell
of Sumter, while hiding on planta-
ton near here. He was covered with
guns and surrendered without resist
ance.
Thornton shows his brutal instincts
by discussing his crime without evil
dence of remorse. His face is badly
lacerated, showing the imprints of
Miss Dismukes' finger nails as she
fought desperately.
Judge Littlejohn may convene court
in special session to try Thornton.
