Eat More Candy

Give children plenty of pure sugar,
tafy and butterscotch and they'll have
little need of cod-liver OIL" says DR..
Woods Hutchinson in the Christmas
Woman's Home Companion.
I'm short, sugar is, after meat, bread
and butter, easily our next most impor-
tant and necessary food. You can put
the matter to a test very easily. Just
leave of the pie, pudding or other des-
serts at your lunch or midday dinner.
You'll be astonished to find how quick
ly you'll feel empty again, and how
unfinished the meal will seem. You
can't get any working man to accept a
dinner pail without pie in it. And he's
absolutely right. The only thing that
can take the place of sugar here is
beer or wine. 1t is a significant fact
that the freelunch counters run in con
nection with bars furnish every imag-
Unable thing except sweets. Even the
restaurants and lunch grills attached
to saloons or bars often refuse to serve
lost his taste for sweets. The more
business! The more sugar and sweets
a man takes at a meal the less alcohol
he wants. Conversely, nearly every
drinking mar will tell you that he has
lost his taste for sweets. The more
candy a nation consumes, the less al
I cohol.
1.-THE United States government buys
pure candy by the ton and ships it to
the Philippines to be sold at cost to
the soldiers in the canteens. All men
crave 1t in the tropics, and the more
they get of it, the less vino and whis-
key they want.
"1n fine, the prejudice against sugar
is born of %puritanism and stinginess,
equal parts. Whatever children cry
for must be bad for them, according
to the pure doctrine of original sin;
! besides, it costs money. 1 know fami-
lies in the rural districts yet where
' the head of the family groans over
every dollars worth of sugar that
comes into the house as a sinful and
unwholesome' luxury"

Poultry Raising in North Dakota
Poultry Raising in North Dakota.

Poultry Raising in North Dakota.
Few realize that the poultry pro.
ducts of the United States annually
equal in value the wheat crop. AS yet
North Dakota has paid but slight at
tention to this resource, which would
add millions to the wealth of the state
if generally developed. In fact large
quantities of eggs are imported into
the state. The number of inquiries
received at the Agricultural College
shows that the care and management
of poultry are not commonly under
stood in our state. To give informa-
ton and practical suggestions to per-
sons wishing to take up poultry rails
ing, the Agricultural College Exepri-
ment Station has for two years been
conducting experiments on poultry
raising under North Dakota conditions.
The results of these experiments are
set forth in a bulletin just issued for
free distribution. The work was done
by Prof. J. H. Shepperd and Mr.. O. W.
Dynes.
The bulletin covers such points as
would be of most value to beginners
in practical poultry culture. Among
the topics presented are:
Description OF breeds; egg and gen.
eral purpose breeds; caring for the sit.
ting hen; natural and artificial meth.
DDS of Matching; operating the incu'
bator; how much and what to&feed;
care Of young chicks; breeding stock;
cold VS.. warm housing; preserving
eggs; in-breeding; grade breeding
trials; method of destroying lice and
mites; ventilation; location and dimen.
. sions of the poultry house. The treat,
ment Of the general subject is simple
and direct, and this bulletin should
: mark an epoch in the history Of poul.

Grosscup of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, Chicago, who made
the trip via New York, stopping at the
metropolis to attend to some business
in connection with the Lincoln statue,
the last work of Saint Gaudens, which
is to be placed IN the lake front in
the Windy City. Judge Grosscup when
interviewed concerning politics in the
Sucker State declared that the Illi-
nois delegation to the next republican
convention will be solid for Uncle
Joe" Cannon. He would not commit
himself so far as to pick the next re-
publican candidate, but pointed out
that MI. Roosevelt is very popular in
the west. AS regards the financial
stringency, the western jurist express
ed it as his opinion that the present
conditions are due to fundamental
principles-to the expansion of bank
.credits-and that the President has
had nothing to do with the trouble.

WASHINGTON NEWS
Special Correspondent Writes to the
Inter Ocean From CaDjt0I

Washington, Dec. If the endorse
ment of five hundred staunch demo
Gratis from all walks of life can be
taken as representative of the wishes
of the great democratic party, then no
other than the Peerless Leader" VIII
liam Jennings Bryan, will head the
party ticket in the presidential race
next year. And granting the Nebras-
kan's nomination, if there is any truth
in the reports of his strength through
out he United States, then the recep-
tive republican candidates will have
to wait another four years, for Theo-
dore Roosevelt must be the republican
nominee if his party is to have any
show of success. This, briefly, is the
belief which is gaining ground in the
national capital since Mr.. Bryan was
acclaimed leader of his party at the
banquet in his honor the other day.
The past week has been Bryan Week
in Washington; he addressed meetings
of the international Y. M. C. A., deliv-
cred educational, labor, and political
bodies galore. And everywhere he has
been welcomed, by republicans and
democrats alike. At the big banquet
rendered him, he was euIogized, and
the applause of the guests, as The
Idol of Many Millions" and one of the
speakers on the program assured his
audience that if the tariff and the
trusts are made the issue in the next
campaign, the children, during the en-
suing four years, will anus themsel-
yes with Bryan tigers instead of Teddy
bears. It is coming to be recognized
generally that Mr.. Bryan Is the strong
est man the democrats can find, and
with this conviction the third term adj
vocates are expressing satisfaction,
for they hope to use it as a lever with
which to pry President Roosevelt from
his determination not to be a candid.
