THE SUGAR We EAT.
One Half the Weight of Average Citi-
zen Consumed in a Year.

Washington, Feb. 9.-''The average
citizen of the United States seems to
have consumed one-half his own
weight in sugar in the year just end
ed" says statement issued today by
the bureau Of statistics of the depart
ment of commerce and labor. The av-
erage per capita consumption was 76
sumed was 611 billion pounds at a
cost of over 100000. 600
OF this enormous consumption, one
fifth was produced in this country, an
other one-fifth was imported from our
island possessions and the remaining
three-fifths. or 3.S64,665,661 pounds,
from foreign countries.
OF the production of sugar in the
United States last year a little less than
one-halfe was from cane and a little
more than one-half from beets. The
quantity of beet sugar entering into
American consumption was 672 mill
lion pounds, showing a remarkable in
crease and for the first time exceeding
the production of cane. There was an
increase of &c per cent in the produc
ton of beet over cane sugar from 1900
to 1906.
Rapid as the increase IN sugar pro-
ductton in the United States has been
in recent years, it has not by any
means kept pace with the increased
consumption.
In the last ten years there has been
an increase in the consum ption of this
article of 2.024.S16.4S0 pounds, it be-
ing more than three times as great as
the increased home production.

day was a luncheon given by Mrs. D.
S Stephens to the visiting club ladies'
1t was a most delightful affair in every
way.
The executive board left Kansas City
Thursday evening and came to To-
peka and established headquarters at
the National hotel, where the routine
work of the State Federation was
taken up.
The most important action of the
executive board was that taken in con-
nection with the travelling art gallery.
In accordance with the request of the
ingS that the executive board name
the art gallery in honor of its foun-
der. this action was taken. and the APP
lington Travelling Art gallery is a Kan
sas institution.
1t is a safe assertion that no action
of the board during this administration
will prove more popular to the great
body of club women than this. which
is but a slight recognition of the SER
vice of Mrs. Arlington for the fedora
ton.
At this time. also. the final action
was taken which will place the APP
lington Art gallery in the hands of the
state.
the legislative committee, and Mrs.
Arlington, were present with the
board, and assisted in the formation
of plans for securing a law which is to
place this gallery in charge of the
travelling libraries commission The
work has been taken up after the plan
as followed in New York, where the
travelling art galleries are both under
supervision of the State Library COM
mission.
The gallery is now collection of
fine pictures representing an approx
mate value of $1,000.
AS state institution it viii be far
more effective than as federation
collection.
The bill will be introduced at once,
and each and every club woman is
hereby urged to write to her senator,
representative, and any friends she
may have IN the legislature, asking
lery bill. The help of individuals is
seldom solicited. Now it is imperative
that the women help US. and we beg
them to not fail us in this.
The legislative committee of the fed
Grafton has this work in direct charge,
and will be glad to receive suggestions
in regard to it at any time.
The personnel of the committee is
as follows: Mrs. W. A. Johnston. To-
peka; Mrs. F. W. Bartlett, Kansas

Bible Study. Lesson XLVI.. jeremiah
14-2O.. Notes on jeremiah.

1.-The study of Jeremiah's charac-
ter is of great interest. He has been
called the prophet of the bleeding
heart and the iron will. He combined
the most contradictory traits of char
acter. His endowment was such that
he did not omit duty, but to perform it
often cost him keen anguish OF heart
He was naturally difhdent. yet was
made stcadfast in the will of God. His
national feeling was intense, yet he
possessed broad views. He was a mar
of prayer. He was jealous for and
obedient to God. He was often per-
picked and sometimes respondent, yet
was continually sustained by the grace
of God. This combination of traits in
jeremiah is a strong proof of the di-
vine origin of his mission. He is not
hero by nature, but by grace; and in
his sometimes strange confessions
clearly read that grace never expelled
nature. His life was at once the most
natural and the most supernatural in
the Old Testament "-Cheyne.
Ballantine says: 80 far as we have
data for a judgment. jeremiah was
the healthiest, strongest, bravest,
grandest man of the Old Testament
history. There is not a scrap of evil
dence that he was otherwise than nat
urally ardent, hopeful, buoyant. with
a soul as full of song a birds and
as receptive and as radiant of light as
a diamond. jeremiah is the most mis-
understood of all the great men of his
men and to be thought morbid; to be
one of the strongest and to be thought
weak; to be one of the bravest and to
be thought faint-hearted; to be Titan
and to be thought a pigmy, has been
his hard fortune"
Canon Cook says of jeremiah: IAN
interesting character We find him
sensitive to a most painful degree,
timid, shy, hopeless, responding, con-
stantly complaining and dissatisfied
with the course of events, but never
ffnching from duty. Timid in resolve.
he was firm in execution; as fearless
when he had to face the whole world
as he was dispirited and prone to muir
muring when alone with God. Judged
by his own estimate of himself, he was
feeble and his mission a failure Real
ly in the hour of action and when duty
called him, he was in very truth "a de-
fenced city and an iron pillar and
brazen walls against the whole land
He was a noble example of the tri-
umph of the moral over the physical
nature"
Study Jeremiah-Because it is COM
paratively little known; because the
Book gives more details about the life. |

Mobile, Ala, Febfi. 9.-Profciency of
pupils in the fire drill averted a serious
panic during fire in the basement of
the Willie G. Clarke public school to-
day. An overheated furnace ignited the
woodwork and filed the building with
smoke. AS soon as the fire drill was
sounded the children marched from the
different rooms without accident. The
building was badly damaged.

methods, and work of an Old Tesla
ment prophet than any other; be-
cause it is full of material for char
acter study: because it Is invaluable
for its great moral lessons; because the
period in which Jeremiah lived is one
of the most interesting and important
in Old Testament history.
