SUGAR PRODUCTION
RAPID ADVANCE IN COLORADO
State Shows Twenty-Five Per Cent. of
the Production of Beet Sugar
in the Entire Country.

From the report recently prepared
for Congress to review the progress of
the beet sugar industry in the United
States, it is to be seen that Colorado
easily forged to the first place in pro-
ductlon last year, attaining lead over
all other states from which it will not
be soon dislodged. With S5,S57 acres
In beets against 77,S23 acres in Mich
lgap. the nearest state in point of acre
age, Colorado produced S75, ,154 tons of
beets, which yielded 81 ,60S.45 tons of
sugar, against 73,S93.45 tons made in
California, the closest competitor in
point of yield.
TIE business as whole required
3O7 3G4 acres, yielded 2,G65,913 tons of
beets and 312 2,920:60 tons of sugar last
year. With about twenty-seven per
cent. of the acreage, Colorado pro-
duced twenty-nine per cent. of the
sugar.
Some interesting figures have been
drawn from the estimates made in the
report on production for the present
year. The total of the cane sugar crop
for 1906 is estimated at Cos, ,SS0,000
pounds, while that of the beets, allow
ing for the new factories that are to
be ready for the coming campaign, is
placed at 7S3,200000 pounds, the beet
output passing that of cane sugar in
the year. The total yield of ,4S2 ,0S0,-
600 pounds of sugar will be made en-
tirely from the portion of the country
lying west of the Mississippi river,
and exceed by 4S,15O.495 pounds the
amount of sugar consumed by the
same territory last year, leaving for
export" to the states east of the river
quantity equal to the quantity con-
sumed in Montana, Wyoming, New
Mexico and Idaho in 1905.
These figures help to show the
growth of the sugar-making industry
in Importance. This will be the first
year the sugar-growing states of our
country have produced enough for
their own consumption. With this
years crop they begin to supply some
thing of the enormous demand of the
states east of the river. As the beet
fields of Colorado spread and the fac
tories multiply, this state will more
and more be sending to Eastern mar
kets commodity for which the de-
mand is practically unlimited. Not
only are the beet growers and sugar
factories keeping at home an immense
sum of money that has been annually
flowing to the outside, but they are en-
tering upon the period when they will
be sending their product afar and
drawing back to the state millions of
money in the competition for which
the Colorado soil knows no rival

MOTHER OF THE MlKADO.

Who Still Lives.

The Japanese emperor is not, as
often stated, the son of the dowager
empress who died in 1897, writes Mary
Crawford Fraser in Worlds Work.
His mother, who still lives, was the
concubine of Emperor Komei The Pc
culiar constitution of the Japanese
family gives very little prominence
to the maternal rights of a woman
who occupies this subordinate position.
Her child. although he may be the
heir of all his fathers honors, does
not reflect his glory upon her. All his
silial love and respect must go to the
wife. whom he is taught to regard as
his true mother. In old times the veri-
table mother saw little of her child

WOOD PIGEONS IN LOVE.
Are Much Like Human Beings in
the Respect of Indifference
to Weather.

The amorous wood pigeon, whose
usually dignified demeanor is so ia:
miliar to the most ordinary observer
in the London parks, takes but little
notice of the bitter northeasterly
breezes and squalls of sleet and snow
with which March has so frequently
favored us of late. For the time be-
ing, says the Pail Mall Gazette, he is
so busily occupied in making advances
to the lady of his choice that outside
influences have no bearing at all on
his general behavior.
Rain or shine, you may see him just
at present sitting side by side with his
inamorata on the swaying bough of
elm or plane, whispering soft moth
ings in her ear in those gentle tones
that makes ones fancy fly back to the
great woods of the countryside where
primrose and anemone are pushing
forth their fragile buds from beneath
their wintry covering of fallen leaves
1t is too early yet for the wood pigeon
to build his nest, but he and his mate
in the intervals of love making are
already on the lookout, as you may
see If you watch for a suitable ste.

the more serious business of the sea-

in turns to brood over the couple Of
snow white eggs from which presently
will emerge two of the ugliest young,
sters that pair of good-looking pa,

Oldest Living Thing.

The distinction of being the Oldest
living thing undoubtedly belongs to
one of the giant trees, and many at.
ter:pts to locate it and determine it's
age have been made, says London Tit
Bits. A century ago De Candolle
found two yews-one at Fortingal, in
Perthshire, and one at Hedsor, in
Bucks-that were estimated to be re.
spectively $500 and 3,24O years old.
Both are still flourishing, and the
older tree has trunk 27 feet in cir
conference. A gigantic boabab in
Central America, with trunk 20 feet
through, was thought by Humboldt to
be not less than $3.50 years old. Mex
lean botanists believe that they have
now discovered a life-span even
greater than this. and from the annual
rings a cypress of Chepultepec, whose
trunk is 11S feet in circumference, is
assigned an age of about 5000 years.

All Medicines Failed Until Or. VIII
iiams' Pink Pills Cured His
Rheumatjsm

"Some years ago." says Mr.. W. H.
Clark, a printer, living at 612 Buchanan
street, Topeka, Kans., "I had bad at.
tack of rheumatism and could not seem
to get over it. All sorts of medicines
failed to do me any good and my trouble
kept getting worse. My feet were so
swollen that could not wear shoes and
l had to go on crutches. The pain was
terrible.
Zone day was setting the type of an
article for the paper telling what DR..
Williams Pink Pills had done for a man
afflicted as was and was SO impressed
with it that determined to give the
medicine trial. For year my rheu-
matism had been growing worse, but
after taking DIR. Williams Pink Pills
began to improve. The pain and swell
ing all disappeared and I can truthfully
say that haven't felt better in the past
twenty years than I do right now. I
could name, off hand, half-dozen peo-
pie who have used DIR. Williams Pink
Pills at my suggestion and who have re-
ceived good results from them"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are guaran-
teed to be safe and harmless to the most
delicate constitution. They contain no
morphine, opiate, narcotic, nor any,
thing to cause drug habit. They do not
act Oh the bowels but they actually make
new blood and strengthen the nerves.
DR. Williams Pink Pills cure rheuma-
tism because they make rich, red blood
and no man or woman can have healthy
blood and rheumatism at the same time.
They have also cured many cases of
anemia, neuralgia, sciatica, partial pa
ralysis, locomotor ataxia and other dis
eases that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left Out.

Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread Is
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
nature has provided curious deposit
which Is turned into diastase when it is
subjected to the saliva and to the pan
creatic juices in the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
20 digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which Is the next form; but that
part Of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, so natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best 1t can, without the help that ma.
ture intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation and all sorts OF
trouble exist when we so so contrary
to natures law. The food experts thar
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use In their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and tho
proper conditions for developing the
diastase, outside Of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans.
formed into grape-sugar in a perfect
ly natural manner, without the use of
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces of
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore ~
naturally pre-digested and its use In
place Of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use of starch in the
food, and that is very common in the
human race to-day.
The eefct Of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontin-
uance Of ordinary white bread is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly In
strength and physical and mental
health.

The great trouble with America is

these things, to chant to us, to lecture
us about them. Sometimes we even
try to practice, hurriedly and hyster-

have in pure self-hypnosis persuaded
ourselves that we ought to like. We

It is well known that the emperor

working day, beginning at dawn and
frequently continuing till midnight, is
a strenuous one-he repairs to her

very fully and confidentially. 1t is
her majestys delight to find new inter,
estS and pleasures for these moments
of relaxation, to use her woman's wit
to draw the emperor's mind from the
cares of state to pleasant and cheerful
subjects. A new book, a picture, all
album such as the one sent to her ma.

nese play given in New York last

the emperors half hour of rest and
recreation. Then the attendants with

Yorkshire terrier, a venerable court
lady now some II years old, who never
leaves her masters side. With the as
surance of impunity she jumps on tile
empress lap and listens to CONVERSE
tions which no one else is permitted
to hear. 1t is on record that one day
she fell asleep there unnoticed; her
majesty wished to rise, but ere she
could do so the emperor cried, do
not move. You will wake the dog"

laughing, to wait the convenience of
