came out. Joe with his hand on the

gone from Happy's face. leaving II an

beyond all that was about him. and
suddenly she was aware Of great
tragedy. The little mans chin trem-

Nevertheless he bore himself upright
and dauntlessly as the two walked
slowly to the door, like men taking
part In some fateful ceremony. Joe
stopped upon the landing at the head
Of the stairs, but Happy Fear went
on, clumping heavily down the steps.

the strain of beet seed used. There
are now seven states with two or more
beet sugar factories in operation and
nine with one each. The largest pro-
duction is credited to Colorado, where
land cultivated by irrigation produces
larger yield OF beets per acre than
any other state except Utah. where
also irrigation is used.
The fear manifested by the beet
sugar interests of injury because of
the reduction of the duty on Cuban
cane sugar says the Chicago Tri-
bune. has been proved to be ground
less. The removal of the duty on
Philippine sugar would work them no
harm. The production of beet sugar
in the region west of the Mississippi
last year was enough to supply every
pound of sugar used in that region
and leave a large quantity for ship
ment east. The total cane sugar
product of Cuba and the Philippine
islands is Insignificant compared with
the beet sugar production of Europe.
The beet sugar industry of the United
States can take care of itself, and if it
has any competitor to fear it is not
the cane sugar of the dependencies of
the United States"

THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.


Within a few years Colorado has at
tanned first rank among the beet SUI
gar-producing states of the Union
and that. too in spite of the fuss the
beet sugar manufacturers made about
Cuban reciprocity. Western Kansas Is
Just as we'll adapted to sugar beet
growing as is Colorado, and the day is
not far distant when a tremendous
amount OF sugar will be made out of
the soil and sunshine of the Kansas
prairies. Already one of the largest
sugar factories in the country is in
operation at Garden City, and only
beginning has been made in the in
dustry-whether the tariff is lowered
on Philippine sugar or not, as is now
proposed
The United States department of
agriculture has recently issued a
bulletin showing the progress of the
beet sugar industry. and the Chicago
Tribune complies some interesting
facts from it. For the first time the
amount of beet sugar produced in the
United States exceeds the amount OF
cane sugar produced in the con-
tinentaI part of the United States. If
Hawaii and Porto Rico be included
the production of cane sugar in
United States territory is twice as
great as that of beet sugar. but is
diminishing, while the production of
beet sugar is increasing.
Germany, with an area one-four-
teenth that of the United States, pro-
duces FIVE times as much beet sugar.
The portion of the area of the German
empire suitable for the raising of beets
and available for that purpose is prob
ably no larger proportionately than
the available area of the United States,
yet the German empire produces
seventy times as much beet sugar per
square mile of its total area. This
shows the great possibilities yet to be
reached in this country. The total
cane and beet sugar production of the
world is given by the United States
bureau of statistics as IA, 305. S23 tons,
of which slightly more than half is
beet sugar.
The department of agriculture is
actively engaged in extending the beet
sugar area in the United States by
disseminating accurate information as
to the character of soil and the treat
ment required to produce the best
quality Of beets, and conducting ex-
periments with q view to improving

RAIL BREAKAGE.

The question whether the United
States steel corporation is making
rails of inferior quality is not one
which concerns only the steel company
and the railroads which buy its pro-
duct 1t is a question In which the gen
eraI public has a right to intervene
and demand authoritative and conclu-
sive information. 1t is said that the
heavy rails which are being made now
by the steel corporation are too brit
tie and break easily. There certainly
has been an alarming increase in
breakages. A broken rail does not
necessarily wreck a train, but many
wrecks are due to that cause, and the
travelling publicg naturally becomes
nervous when 1t hears statements from
experts as to the inferior quality of the
rails supplied to the great railroad
systems of the country.-Chicag Tri-

Summer Clothing.

1t is the custom whenever one goes
from northern regions to the tropics to
don white garments as a protection
against the heat of the sun; and a
change from colored goods to white is
made in our climate. also. in the sum-
mer.
The reason given for this resort to
white is that cit reflects the heat in
stead of absorbing it," and If one
questions its virtue. answer is always
made that the natives of tropical re-
g1ons wear white clothes, and they
ought to know what is best.
1t is true that the natives often
wear white. but they have dark skins
by which they are protected from the
chemical rays, the rays that are most
injurious to man. and that break down
residence in equatorial regions. The
white mans white clothes offer no re-
slstance to these injurious light rays,
aithough they give comfort by throw
ing back the heat rays.
If white clothes are worn external
ly. the undergarments, so tropical n.y.
gienists say, should be black, red or
orange, since these colors offer a
screen to the chemical rays. After
dark, in the tropics as well as during
the hot summer months in this coun-
try, black clothes are theOmost sem
sible, since they promote the radiation
of heat from the body.
The head covering in summer should
be light in color as we'll as in weight
yellow or khaki color is better than
white-but should have dark lining.
The practice of going bareheaded.
especially in the case of light haired
or bald persons. is fraught with grave
perils. The notion that some bald
headed men have that exposure of the
head to the suns rays will promote
the growth of hair is pernicious; the
man who has tried it one summer will
not repeat it the next-if he is alive.
In texture, summer clothing should
be light and porous. For men the
outer garments should be of wool. the
underclothing of linen or cotton, or
mixed cotton and wool. This should
be woven in a mesh which, by the air
1T contains, protects against chill and
which absorbs perspiration; such ma
terial does not get the "clammy" feel
ing of a closely woven. cloth when
damp.
A night garment of loosely woven
thin flannel of dark color will be
found more comfortable than one of
cotton or linen, and will also afford
greater protection against chill. Sum-
mer "colds" often follow chilling OF
the body toward morning when it is
encased in damp clinging linen
nightdress. One who finds himself in
such a state in the early morning
should quickly take a warm bath, fol-
lowed by cold sponge or shower, and
vigorous rubbing with a coarse
towel.-The Staff Physician of the
Youths Companion.
