CHILDREN AND CANDY.

London Physician Blames Sweets fo,
Young Folks Deterioration.
In the course Of lecture delivered
in London recently Prof. Ogston said
that after many years of medical ex-
perience among children he was con-
WINGED there were many in whom the
tendency to sugar gluttony had be-
come 80 strong in their infatuation
that it resembled the craving of q
drunkard for liquor, says the st.
James Gazette. Such saccharomaniacs
showed early disappearance Of the
teeth, and other grave troubles. He
thought future scientists would place
the evils Of sugar gluttony on a pedes-
tai as conspicuous as the drink cues.
ton as causing deteriorat ton of indi.
viduals and races.
The views expressed by the eminent
specialist, however sensational they
may appear, are amply borne out by
facts, and medical opinion generally
holds that the serious deteriora ton of
children is directly attributable to the
great consumption of sweets and to
the ingredients of which the bulk OF
these are compounded. A well-known
doctor said that pure sweets in them
selves, and taken moderately, would
not be seriously harmful. But confec-
tionery was made so cheap nowadays
that the poorest ingredients and many
dangerous chemicals had to be used.
One Of the largest confectioners in
London revealed the methods EN-.
ployed in the manufacture of cheap
sweets by the INSCRIPTIONS firms in
the east end Of London, who do a
huge business in these goods at four
ounces penny.
There is lot of adulteration in the
sweet trade, unfortunately, and,
strangely, it has never received proper
attention. Cochineal is used on a very
large scale to color toffees and In the
making of several varieties of drops.
Tons Of the fruit sweets are quite In
nocent Of fruit and are colored by
chemicals. Chocolates are another line
which lends easily to adulteration, and
some vile substitutes for the pure
cocoa butter are In the market.
"Then these firms use cheap glucose,
which, as has been found over and
over again, contains arsenic or some
other poisonous matter, and sincs
brewers have fought shy Of the ma
terial, huge quantities Of inferior glu-
cose have found their way to these
hack-stairs confectoners. Some Of
these people, too, make their toffees

injurious kind, and much Of the butter

inably low prices contain more bad fat

where,and shipped into Earling-
ton alone. And the Darlington
buyers, Notwithstanding, al
ways favor the home farmer and
producer and buy all they can of
home products. 1t is a patent
fact that this Darlington trade
has brought about very per-
ceptible increase in the crops of
hay grown in Hopkins county
and for several years past the
local buyers have been able TO
secure from the farmers a much
larger tonnage of hay than was
possible before. The money that
these wage earners make and
spend is strong argument In
favor of greater efforts on the
part of our farmers to supply
in exchange these, their fellow
citizens, with the prodocts of
their fields. Hopkins county has
some 1920 mine employees who
receive annually wages aggre-
eating more than one million
dollars. Darlington has a large
railroad population and the rail
road employees in Hopkins coun.
| ty receive about 100000 an.
nually in wages.
The people of Hopkins county
do not know and if they have
heard they do not realize the
magnitude nor the meaning of
these figures. The money paid
in wages to the coal mine en-
ployes of Hopkins county an
nuallv equals and exceeds the
total of all moneys ON deposit in
Hopkins county banks. Add to
this the annual wages of the
railroad employees in Hopkins
county and the earning and pur-
chasing power of these two
classes of wage earners is even
more enormous. These money
makers and their families will
buy things to eat and if the
Hopkins county farmers will not
grow the necessary supplies they
must buy elsewhere.
Hopkins county's coal deposits
are more thoroughly developed
and extensively worked than are
those of any county IN the State
Of Kentucky.
The splendid coal mines of
Hopkins county are capable of
producing an output greatly in
excess of present. normal de-
mands. The extraordinary home
market made by these many
thrifty wage earners is not sup
piled by the farmers of Hopkins
county. The> soil is capable of
producing the stuff. Will not
our farmers make a greater eff
fort to supply the home market.

came In for no little praise at
the Fourth State Development
Convention, held at Louisville
last week. Although it could
reach but very small percent
age of the farmers Of Kentucky
the hope is strong that the seed
of development of farm lands
have fallen in good ground. At
ter the close of the tour of the
State Prof. Joseph K. Wing, of
Ohio, who accompanied the
special" as alfalfa expert and
lecturer, said at the State De-
velopment Convention:
"I have never seen State more in
need of knowledge and instruction
among the farmers as to the restora-
ton and upbuildlug of lands than is
Kentucky. The State has some of
the best farmers in the world, and
many of the most careless"
We need. in Hopkins county,
not only knowledge concerning
the restoration and upbuilding
of lands but knowledge of how
better to develop and use those
lands which have never been
worn out. We need, too, gen.
eral dissemination of knowledge
among our farmers of best
methods of selecting and testing
seed corn, planting and caring
for the crop, ETC., as elucidated
by Prof. p. G. Holden, the corn
expert from Iowa, who accom-
panied the Kentucky Alfalfa
and Corn Special and also lee
tured at the State Development
Convention. I h e things h e
spoke of are simple and easy
of proof but they have not been
thought of and are not in the
minds of the average farmer.
We do not admit that Hopkins
county soil is short in the ele-
ments necessary to produce ex
cellent crops of almost any farm
product. In proof of the pro
ductiveness of this soil grasses
and grains grown on redeemed
old fields above the coal meas.
ures around darlington have
taken medals at such interna-
tional expositions as the Oolum
bian Exposition at Chicago and
the Cotton States Exposition at
Atlanta.
The collection of grasses and
clovers that went to the ST.
Louis Worlds Fair last year
from Darlington attracted such
attentions that it "was given,
(by the Kentucky Commission)
upon earnest solicitation, to the
Imperial japanese Commission,
to be taken to the Land of the
Rising SUM-"
That Hopkins county needs
development along agricultural
lines maybe shown conclusively
by single recital of a few facts
concerning the business of just
one of our county towns. We
speak of Darlington, where the
figures are not hard to get and
may be proven by any one in
doubt. Darlington is the "Heart
of the great Western Coal
Field" the home of $500 people
who are thrifty coal miners and
railroad men and their families.
Hero, as in the other coal min
ing towns of Hopkins county,
there are many busy wage earn
ers who produce no farm and
garden products but who buy
and pay for and consume guam
titles of these things. Investi-
cation shows that some so car
loads of corn and wheat stuffs
and as many more carloads of
corn, hay and oats, making
total of not less than 100 car
loads of farm products that
might be produced in Hopkins

AMONG the new and important fields
IN which instruction is to be given at
the university of Wisconsin for the first
time this year is that of meteorology, a
course which will be offered during the
second semester of the present college
year. The work will be in charge of Mr.
james L. Bartlett, observer at the uni
versity station of the United States
weather bureau, which was esta blished
an North hall last fall. At the time that
the weather bureau station was located
at the university, permission was grant
ed by Chief Willis L. Moore of the
United States weather bureau, for the
instruction of university students in
meteorology by the local observer. and
the present course is the result of the
arrangement which was made at that
slime. As the Madison station was not
organized at the beginning of the pres
ent college year, it was necessary to post
pone the course until the opening of the
second semester in February.

THE direct benefit reaped by the
state, the almost fabulous increase of
wealth from the work of the university"
said Governor LaFollette in his recent
message to the Legislature, scarcely
needs to be suggested. The, Babcock.
milk test increases the product of the
state more than million dollars each
year. The introduction of Swedish oats
has added millions of dollars annually
to the value of tho crop. Investigation
relating to smut of oats during the past
zen years has increased the income of the
state by four and One-half millions per
year. These are only few of the direct
sources of of the prosperity that the
state derives from the University. They
aggregate many millions of dollars per
annun.~ They far exceed all that the
University has ever cost the state. The
annual enrichment is number of times
greater than the annual expense of state
government. I do not fear that any
member of this legislature will measure
the benefits of the University from the
standpoint of increased material wealth
alone" he continued. NEARLY eveery
home in the state can count'@itseh di-
rectly or indirectly enriched by the in
ffuence of the great body of literally ed
ucated men and women who have enjoy
ed the benefits of higher education fur
mished them by generous state"

The excitement attendant upon a go

The excitement attendant upon SEN
atorial election has not prevented the
introduction in the legislature of the
usual number of bills which ought not
90 be passed. Only a Few of the bills
offered by ambitious lawmakers each
session have anything of merit. The
state would be better of il the legislative
committees were not compelled to waste
slime in passing upon the badly prepared,
SLY considered bills which constitute
about SO per cent of the proposed laws.
The present session has just started but
% number of these freak and vicious bills
have been offered, with, no doubt, hun
S1reds still to hear from. An ambitious
social democratic senator has offered a
. law to forfeit all exclusive public service
franchises, the immediate effect of which
ii passed, will be to leave every city in
the state without street cars, electric or
gas lights and telephones. A statesman
Srom the central part of the state wants
TO make insanity ground for divorce
and there are endless bills for the regu-
aation OF this or that kind of business or
social CUSTOM against which a member
or constituent has a grievance. All
this in spite OF the fact that the state is
not suffering from the lack of laws but
iron too many of them Each legisla-
ture considers it its duty to tinker with
the statutes before some of them have
been fairly tested. What appears to one
legislature wise and benefcent law is
likely to be objected to and wiped off the
books by the next squad of statesmen,
until through it all the statute books
look too much like the production of a
ainetcscope. No good reasons exist why
the legal blacksmiths should feel it nee
pessary to overhaul the machinery of the
state again this year, and hammer it out
of shape and into shape once more. A
railway commission bill is almost the
only constructive legislation necessary
'shis winter, and the passage of such a
bill and of appropriations to provide for
she growth of the state educational,
charitable and penal institutions. with
provisions for new institutions of these
classes where necessary, is about all the
work the legislature properly has to do
&his session. - Lacrosse Leader.
