SUGAR FROM sAWDusT.
II CAN BE Made. but n IL Hardly Fiji
For Table Use.

~ Can BE Made. but ID Ii Hardly Fit
For Table Use.
During the middle ages the alche-
mists. who were the predecessors of the
modern men of science, spent much
time In making a SO called 'philoso-
piers stone" which should transform
the baser metals into gold, and even
nowadays science still has some prob
lens that are almost as tempting to
the Imagination and probably quite as
unlikely to be realized To turn ordi-
nary sawdust into table sugarris one of
them. The table sugar part of it is
generally considered an interesting chi
mera, but the question of economically
reducing sawdust to the different vari-
ETY. known as grape sugar contains pos
sibilities that greatly interest the mod
ern chemist either In the laboratories
OF commercial plants or in such student
workshops as the sugar laboratory of
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology.
Grape sugar, which the chemists call
dextrose, is an important item in the
manufacture of health foods and can
be used economically because it deyel-
ops naturally in comparatively mex
pensive chemical process to which GER
tain grains, chiefly corn. are subjected
to produce eventually starch or glu-
cose. As long ago as 1919 a French
chemist surprised the French academy
by exhibiting few grains of grape
sugar which he had made from old lin
en-, commonly believed to have been his
own shirt. Other scientists have shown
also that grape sugar could be made
from wood. although no one has vet
found way to transform this grape
sugar into the more familiar, everyday
produce of the cane or sugar beet The
oretically, therefore, either an old
house or an old suit of linen can be
turned into Chis grape sugar provided
one would take great deal of trouble
for very small result
The reason why sugar can be made
from wood or linen is due to the ac-
ton which it would require a sugar
chemist to explain in detailof sui.
phuric acid on the cellulose, or woody
fiber. that is found in both wood and
linen. Few persons, however, believe
that the process will ever be anything
more than a scientific curiosity.

HuInor qno Philosophy
By DUNCAN N. SMITH
CONE HOME. FATHER YOU'RE n.


Father. dear father. come home with me
now,
For mother is out TO the club.
You said you We're coming right home
from your work
To get the dear children some grub.
The cook has gone out-her club also
meets
The janitor's gone on spree;
And poor Brother Bonnie has swallowed
a NAIL
And no one to help him but me.
Father. dear father. come home with me
now;
There's scrubbing and sweeping to do,
While mother is solving the problems of
state
The children are crying for you
The socks must be darned, the patches
tackled on,
The beds must be turned back to air,
And mothers shirt waist must be ironed
tonight.
Or she win have nothing to wear.
Father, dear father, come home with me
now;
It's lonely without any man.
And mother will grieve when she comes
from the club
Ii things are not fixed spick and span
Don't swear, dear papa; it isn't polite;
The children in hearing might be:
So let business slide. for dear mother, You
know,
Might bring home a few friends to tea.

WORK OF A FIRE BUG
Three Attempts Made to Burn
Two Buildings.

Under cover of darkness a fire
bug made three attempts to burn
two business houses in Waxab ACHE
last night, and but for the efficient
work of the fire department he would
have been successful.
The first alarm was turned I'm
about / O'Clock and the fire was
| found to be In the second floor hall
way between the Masonic temple
and the building Of the Western
Banking Company. The fire was
evidently the work of an incendiary.
When first discovered the kindling
used to start the fire had not been
entirely consumed. After the blaze
had been extinguished by the de-
partment large hole was found
burned in the floor and the ceiling
had been slightly scorehed. Be
fore leaving the building some mem
ber Of the department broke open q
door of the Woodmen hall for the
purpose OF making an investigation
of the hall to see that nothing was
on fire therein.
About an hour and thirty minutes
after the fire boys had retarned to
the station they were called the sec
ond time 10 the same building.
This time the fire had been started
in the psrapherualia room Of the
Woodmen hall and had gained con-
siderable headway. The timely and
heroic work Of the firemen was the
only thing that prevented a disas-
trous conflagration. Two streams
Of water were turned on the fire,
but considerable damage was done
to the building before the blaze was
finally subdued.
The damage To the Western Bank
ing Company's building will prob
ably amount 10 1900 ta 2400, with i'm
suranco enough to more than cover
the loss.
The Woodmen of the World bad
iast recently fitted up a hall on the
second floor Of this building. Con-
siderable money was expended on
the ball and il was Que 81 the most
commodious and best equipped in
the county. The partitions aud
overhead ceiling were badly dam
aged aud some If the furniture Of
the ball will be total loss. The
loss has been estimated at about
500, with $50 insurance.
While the fremeu were fighting
this FIRE an attempt was made to
burn the building occupied by +. J.
Stroud vu East Main street. Some
one passing through the alley dis
covered the blaze in time 20 extiu-
guish IL before any damage was
done. A window glass ia the rear
Of the store had been broken and
III N sack saturated with coal oil
[ opped lust ou the inside. It Is
d opposed that the inceudtary then
spilled a match TO the sack.
The stock of the Durham Dry
Goods Company in the ware room,
occupying part of the rear Of the
Western Ranking Company's build
ing, was badly damaged by water.
The exact amount Of loss suffered
by the firm will not be known until
the goods can be unpaeked aud thor
ouRhly examined. As reward for
the uutiriug work Of the fire boys in
controlling the IRE Mr. Durham

 Chicago. Oct. 1O.-Through an of- ficial bulletin Issued from the health department of this city today club men and women generally have re- ceived a shock. and there is such a consultation going on with doctors as was never seen here.
 Statistics show that per cent of the residents of Chicago and other large cities are suffering from Brisht's Disease; that IL is far more Rener al among members of fhoth mems and wOmen's clubs and in high society than elsewhere. and that a stop must be put to the rapid pace. or the dis ease wgll increase far faster than it has dOne-which even at present is at an alarming rate.
 HIving the indorsement of many of he best physicians the announcement has given society such a scare it is holding its pulse tonight or ealing up family physicians for hasty consulta- ton. The Tan who has been gaining flesh steadily is certain he has the disease, as is the one who is fast losing weight, while women who are heavy eyed and complain of head ache after late hours and wine dinners are alarmed for themselves.
 Physicians say a halt positively must be called on the continuous round of rich dinners and consequent drinking, and those who have Ine slightest symptoms must begin to take Warmers Safe Cure at once and 1 sake it religiously as prescI 5bed. or this ailment-alTnost tncurable al cer- tain stages-'win get beyond all con- troL Figures obtained show that wo- men are affected as much as men.
 Why the leading doctors prescribe and recommend Warmers Safe Cure is they are absolutely certain of the merits of the medicine and the great work 1t has done in the fast twenty five years in curing thousands upon thousands of men and women who were doomed with Brights disease an9 other kidney trouble.
