Beet Sugar in England.

= OR several years the Feasibility OF
manufacturing beet sugar In England
l has been discussed and experiments IN
cultivating the beet have been maze
II now seems indubltable that sugar pro
duction Is actually to be undertaken lot
the site OF the first English beet sugar rae
tory has been secured 1t is located az
DIVISION Ferry, in Lincolnshire, on the
banks Of the River Trent, which, being
navigable, will give the enterprise very
convenient means Of transit.
The soil Whereabouts is said TO be pecul-
larly well adapted to beet culture. On the
three thousand acres understood TO De
available a correspondent of local news
paper AYERS that $4,000 tons Of sugar beets
can be raised, though this twenty tons 10
the acre) seems an eXtravagant estimate
since in the most important experiments
hitherto made in England the yield has aV-
eraged about sixteen tons. The Lincoln
shire tract however, Is said TO be marvel
lousy fertile In root products.
1t Ia estimated that the yield OF bO'UN
tons would bring the growers about SzzO'ou
more than double the result from a SOW
ing of wheat on the same soil. The 6O,OW
tons Of beets, IL Is further estimated, would
Weld 5000 tons Of sugar, which, win
various by-products, would sell for about
SAC, 900. Deducting from this all expenses
of every character, fixed dividend OF
eight per cent on the shares OF STOCK Is
figured out, still leaving a buuSlah'iol sun
TO be distributed among growers and en-
ployes on the cooperative principle and
further sum to go to the reserve fund.

Cofee-Chewing Habit.

MUSICIANS claim that the habit OF
tobacco chewing Is dying out. but as
lnsldious habit has come to take its
place. This Is coffee chewing, which
Is very bad thing for the health for It
creates nervousness, makes the skin yell
low olackens the teeth and dminshes the
appetite.
Inc habit seems to have originated in the

sahe halt dozen or more grains from II
ahu chew them with great relish The
women who work there are addicted to the
same habit
A specialist OF Philadelphia has made a
study OF the coffee chewing habit and
saSs II Is habit easily contracted. for
uhe taste OF the crisp, roasted berries Is
not unpleasant, and the exhiaration. the
STIMULUS, that the berries give is quite as
ularkeu as that which would be obtained
rom glass or two OF beer, or from a
drink Of whiskey
1T is this exhllaration. I am convinced.
that causes the habit to be formed, and
Lhat makes II a hard habit to break away
from. II should be broken away from; It's
eHects are highly injurious; they are more
injurious than those Of tobacco chewing.
The coffee chewing habit wrecks the
nerves, it makes the skin sallow and II
destroys the appetite. / have had occa-
sion TO treat a number Of men for It, |
always advise such men to break off by
imperceptible degrees-to give three or
four months to the task Some succeed,
and some do not Men who work in coffee
plants find it almost impossible to sue
coed"
Coffee experts seem to be the only en-
.ployes connected with the coffee trade
who have not this habit, for II they did
their sense of taste would be oulled. The
experts, by smell only or by taste only,
distinguish without the slightest difficulty
Tor uncertainty between the Arabian. the
Javanese, the Guatemalan, the Costa
Rican. the Bogotan and a dozen other
coffees. They could not do this II they
were coffee chewers.
During the last few years the United
States has come 70 be the worlds greatest
consumer OF coffee. There were used here
last year 900.0O00O0 pounds-enough to
make 37,sO0, 0O0,O 900 cups of the beverage.
The United States uses nearly one-third
more coffee than the rest of the world put
together. This excessive use Of coffee Is
said by a great French authority to be the
reason for the Yankees leanness, sallow-
ness and nervousness.
