FOND OF THE SWEET.
Statistics of the Government Show that the
Average American Citizen Eats
Much Sufar.

Statistics of the Government Show that the
Average American Citizen Eats
Much SUGAR.
A statiStician has figured out that
the average American citizen con-
sumes half his own weight in sugar,
each year Of his existence. He takes
his basis of computation from the Bu-
reau of Statistics of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, which show
that the quantity of sugar brought
into the United States in 1906 plus
that produced at home, minus the
quantity exported, amounts to near
ly $500, 10000, 900 pounds, and if we
divide into this enormous total the
number of people in the United
States we get an average consump-
tion of sixty-six pounds per capita.
The cost of $500, 600, 900 pounds of
sugar to the consumer must have
been more than $500, ,OOO,O 900, since
the average wholesale price in the
New York markets of refined sugar
has been, for the year, 4a cents
pound.
When to this are added the cost of
transportation to the consumer and
the profit of the retailer, it is quite
apparent that the cost to the con-
sumner must have been more than
$500, 100000 during the year just
ended.
