Asks That Present Insurance Laws Be
Strengthened and That New and
More Adequate Laws Be Passed for
This State.

ommends the passage of eighteen bills,
seventeen relating to life insurance
companies ana recommended by the
committee Of nfteen appointed at a
national meeting, ana the other relates
to fraternal insurance. The terms OF
the proposed bills were made public
yesterday.
The bin relating to fraternal insur-
ance is very important one. 1t pro-
yides, among other things. that the
rates of the fraternal insurance COM
pany shall be based on the American
experience table, which requires ade-
Quate rates. This section will increase
the rates of companies, now In the
business which make very low rates
to secure members and few years
later would be compelled to charge a
very high rate. The law will practi-
cally DO away with the kind OF COM
petition that now exists and the fra
ternal societies would have to base
their arguments on economy in man
agement. The surplus secured by as
sessments must be distributed ait the
end of the year to policyholders. The
bill also provides for the valuation of
certificates and the designation Of a
plan OF insurance.

French Army Discipline.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

In argot "Birimi'' means the discipline
companies in the French army, whittier are
sent those who have offended against mil
itary law. The Biribi is always an advanced
post in Africa, where, under the burning
sun, men are treated worse than the ordi-
nary felon. Many stories have been told Of
the brutality to which the men are subject
ed, and, in short, Biribi, like the military
courts of justice which send the men
thither, Is condemned to be swept away. A
coup de grace" has probably been given
by play entitled "Biribi." which is pro-
duced at the Theater Antoine. The author,
NJ. Georges Darien, was himself the victim
Of the atrocious system which keeps on
foot regiment Of convicts In the French
army. He was for four years ''tete de
veau''-so called because the head Of the
disciplined Is shaved; hence. there Is no
question as to his knowledge Of the subject.
The play, indeed, is In the nature of an au-
photography Like his hero, NJ. Darien is the
son Of a soldier-of general, in fact-but
had no taste for military life and, conse-
quently fell foul OF military discipline.

From What to Eat.
What will the housewife say when she
asks her grocer for his best sugar and n
shown a scoop Of the yellowish, brownish
sweet such as her grandmother used to
buy? You can almost hear her shrek OF
awe as she is told that this Is the best
sugar in the house. You can imagine her
surprise when the grocer quotes the brown
sugar to her at 614 cents a pound and the
''old fashioned white sugar at 8 cents.
For brown sugar is now the proper thing.
Whoever does not know this is ignorant
Of the rulings on the food law. The crystaI-
like sugar we have been eating is adult

has been bleached by chemical process
which the interpreters of the food law have
seen fit to condemn.
1t is learned that there is no such thing
as pure white sugar; that sugar to be pure
must be brown. The bleaching process
consists in submitting the pure sugar to a
treatment Of mineral blufng BY this ana
other processes a great deal OF the natural
sweetness Is extracted from the sugar, and
1t Is often further adulterated by the add
ton Of insoluble substances, such as marble
dust.
Confectioners have even made so bold as
to advertise marble dust for the very pur-
pose Of adulteration, and 1t is regrettable
to say there was demand that well re-
paid the advertiser for his expense and his
daring. 1t is even claimed that sand 10
used in white sugar for the purpose Of in.
creasing its weight and bulk.
There Is foreign substance, called
ultremarine, remaining in the process OF
manufacture, which is often added to white
sugar to give it the requisite blue tinge.
Whatever the result Of the commissions

that white sugar is impure, and brown
sugar will come into style again.

To Pop Corn.

The best corn for popping Is neither too
old nor yet too green. Last falls crop Is
in fine condition now. The best results are
attained If corn is first placed under the
faucet and thoroughly wet, then shaken
dry and left on the back of the stove in
the pepper, moving 1t gently back and
forth until the corn swells a little and be-
comes perfectly dry Shake over steady
hot fire when the grains will pop into great
kernels, the texture being remarkably light
and delicate. Empty the pepper into a big
tin pan, sprinkle lightly with salt and II
desired pour over a half cup melted butter
for every pan of corn. Shake and toss
until every kernel is seasoned. For filing
the little tarlatan stockings do not butter
but simply salt These little stockings,
overcast with scarlet wool and gathered
about the neck with the same. make a
very pretty addition to the Christmas tree
or supplement the row of stockings hang
ing in the chimney corner.
