To detect adulteration with sugar:
Take a sample OF your own honey; put
one ounce in phial; also one ounce of
the suspected honey in another phial.
Drop sixty drops of pure sulphuric acid
in each phial, and stir thoroughly with
a pine stick. If sugar is present in the
suspected sample after standing few
hours, it will be much darker than the
pure honey.
George Emerson said: "It is true that
a large per cent of the bees have

season. The supply of honey now in
the market is about enough to supply
the demand, no more. In good year
the product in this state is about 500
carloads. San Diego county has led in
honey raising; Los Angeles county is a
close second, but our supply of late has
come from Inyo county, which has

he is the author of very ably written

lawyer was firmly established in this

James as a legislator of this state ac-
quilted himself with marked distinc-

of all who watched his career; and last
ly, that nothing which the petty Ex-

hurt that gentleman in the estimation
of the host of Angelenos who have had
the pleasure of his acquaintance. The

eled by Judge York and Bel
liuerent Couple Separate

Edwin Huffman, was reviewed yester-
day by Judge York in the superior
court and late yesterday afternoon a

ter half, her former husband was alive.

man, who at that time was Emma l..
GridIey

CURED the displeasure of Huffman, for

his words, with being 'ginned up all
the time"

that the marriage was legal, and the
petition for the annull1nent of the mar
riage contract was denied.

at the recess yesterday noon, the at
torneys for both sides came together
and effected a compromise on.1he prop
erty interests at stake. The estate
valued at $4,000 WIS equally divided
between Huffman and the woman.
That he pulled her hair, bumped her
head, smashed her in the face, threat
ened to kill her and threatened to put
her under the sod, are only few of
the charges that Mrs. Huffman made
against her husband at the afternoon
session OF the court. and on the
strength of this testimony she was
granted a divorce.
