Louisiana Men in Conference.

The conference was held with d. D. Col
cock, secretary Of the Louisiana Sugar
Exchange; Dr. r. z. Bloum, in charge
of the Louisiana agricultural experiment
stations. and F. r. Broussard.
For more than 100 years. said Mr..
Broussard, cane sugar has been refined
with sulphur and lime. used 10 precipi-
tate the impurities in the syrup. The Two
ingredients combine and form a sulphur
Gus dioxide that is practically entirely
eliminated with the impurities IN the
cane syrup by the process Of precipita-
ton. the juice being forced through the
burning sulphur.
For a year we have been experiment
ing. and have found that instead Of its
being injurious, the sulphur acts Well on
the heart. cleanses the blood. and makes
for gains IN weight. For that reason we
do not believe the molasses should be
made without il. Further, sugar made
under any other process is Of inferior
grade and brings a smaller price on the
market, as il must be sold 20 the AmeTi-

FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW

The other day a working woman dug
out Of an obscure corner Of the house in
which she had reared her little family
bank book started by her son when he
was a small boy. There was a neat little
interest due on It. and when it had been
added to the principal she passed It over
70 the young man, who is now earning
his own living, without comment OF any
kind.
It was O curiosity which he did not
regard seriously at first but gradually
there grew in his mind desire TO build
up the little pile which started with Z
cents. He remembered the day on which
his mother had urged him 10 put by his
pennies instead of spending them for
things which he did not need, and the
visit TO the penny savings bank with his
first deposit OF cents Every week he
repeated the visit. sometimes with the
smallest sum the bank would accept, till
the man at the window suggested that
he save a little more before coming back
The child was sensitive and his desire to
save was nipped In the bud. The bank
book was thrown in a corner and for
gotten till the day his mother found It,
and he had grown up and earned money
and spent II as fast as he received IT,,
despite his mothers warnings. The man
who thoughtlessly chilled the lads am
bitions would probably feel sorry for the
effect of his suggestion. but the mother
certainly rejoices at the turn IN her sons
habits brought about by the forgotten
little bank book with its penny deposits
Saving can be carried TO an unneces-
sary point. but the danger Of that IS too
small 20 be considered. It is not wise
to practice continual self-denial to ac-
cumulate for others TO spend Every
husband should secure the financial fu-
ture Of his wife and helpless children. If
there are any, but grown sons and daugh-
ters can be safely left 10 carve out for
tunes for themselves. Men and women
who have nobody 20 care for them IN
sickness and misfortune ought TO make
any reasonable sacrifice 10 put away
money enough 10 carry them through a
possible turn Of fortune. and everybody
who has an ambition 70 make the most
out Of life is bound to have an eye upon
whatever money comes into the purse.

SUGAR MEN VICTORS
Allowed to Use Sulphur for
Refining Purposes.
CLAIM IT IS NOT HARMFUL
Permission Is Granted After Confer
eRce Between Louisiana Men and
the Board of Pure Food and Drug
IBspectiOn-Financin of the Com
ing Crop Facilitated by Decision.

II sulphur and treacle IS good for the
blood. why should there be any complaint
about a little sulphur in sugar cane mo-
lasses?
If you don't know. ask DIT. Harvey w.
Wiley Chief Of the Bureau Of Chemistry,
thus following the example of Louisiana
sugar refiners and growers.
That it cannot be very bad is evident,
for after a conference of the Board Of
Pure Food and Drug Inspection yesterday
afternoon, lasting for almost three
hours, 1t was announced that the use Of
sulphur In the refining OF cane sugar, in
the proportion of not more than $50 nlilli-
grams OF sulphur TO one kilogram Of
sugar, will be permitted so far as this
years crop Is concerned.
The specific reason for the decision is a
monetary one, being based upon the rep
resentation Of the louisiana men that
until the refners know what kind Of
sugar will be made from this years crop,
they do not care to make the usual ad-
vances 10 the growers nd mill men. thus
! jeopardizing the financing Of the coming
crop. The claim of The credit men is
that sugar refined without sulphur is Of
an inferior grade, and they do not care
to advance money on crops that may
shrink in value because Of a ruling Of the
! Department of Agriculture.
