BOY CYCLIST BADLY HURT.
Was Struck by Automobile and Has
Been Near Death.

George B. Weiss, the twelve-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Bernard A. Weiss of
$40 L street northwest. was knocked
from his bicycle last Wednesday by an
automobile driven by Elliott s. Morse OF
the Potomac Brick Company and has
been at the point of death ever since
Today, although the lads condition is
still serious, the attending physician held
out hopes of recovery.
At noon last Wednesday the boy jumped
on his wheel and rode away on an err
rand for his mother. At 9TH and L
streets the automobile and bicycle col
lided and the lad, unconscious, was hur-
ried to his home in the car. His right
arm had been broken in three places and
his head and body bruised. 1t is feared
that he also sustained internal injuries.

THE SYSTEM WRONG.

The worst feature connected with the
ruthless system Of foresting which has
prevailed during the past twenty years
Is that in cutting timber tracts no re-
gard has been had for the future pro-
ductive capacity Of the land. with the
result that the land has been skinned.
brush and refuse left everywhere
while In many cases these areas have
been swept by forest fires which have
not only wiped up all combustible mat
ter, but have left a barren desert where
with more careful handling there ought
to have been a growth Of young trees
to take the place Of those cut down.
One Of the leading aims Of the forest
service in the campaign which 1t is
carrying on is to bring about more
rational cutting of forest areas and the
exercise Of such precaution as will pre-
vent the occurrence Of forest fires and
make possible the rapid development
Of the new growth of timber.

BUY NEAR At HOME.

Before placing an order with the
fruit tree agent Of some distant and
probably unknown house how would
1t do to get prices for the same stuff
from your home nurserymnn, who will
doubtless not only give you more re-
liable stuff, but will also have the hon
esty to tell you whether the varieties
Of fruit you are planning to put out
are hardy and suited to the locality in
which you live? The wisdom of TAX
ing this precaution was demonstrated
conclusively In the case of the novice
who loaded up with $500 worth Of
prune. ounce and pear trees simply
because Il willy agent wanted his mon
ey and told him they were just the
''stuff." Again. an advantage had from
dealing with the nearby nurseryman is
that If he gives you a raw deal you
can get satisfaction from him much
more easily than from the foreign
house, which may have city office.
but whose nurseries are nobody knows
where, making the Job Of bringing
them to tab a most difficult one.

VOICE CULTURE.
An Arabian Recipe For Improving ne
Quality of the Voice.


Quality of the Voice.
x do not remember your name. but
I have never forgotten the sound of
your voice." said one woman to an
other when they met recently after a
casual meeting on summer vacation
The voice In question was very soft
and very lovely, with peculiarly
pleasing intonation, which made 1t
quite distinctive.
OF course every one knows that love
ly women ought to have lovely voices
but not every one knows that women
can do very, very much to improve
the voice and that oftentimes its harsh
ness or nasal sound is due to careless
ness.
Sarah Bernhardt's wonderful voice Is
one of the secrets of her phenomenal
success. She tells in her memories OF
visit to the palace of the beautiful
Empress Eugene and the shock il
gave her when that wonderfully beau
tiful woman spoke. THAT rough. hard
voice coming from that brilliant wo
man gave me a shock" she writes
From that moment l felt i'll at ease
with her in spite of her graciousness
and kindness"
The teachers in some Of the modern
religious schools hold that the voice Is
an indication of the soul. Unquestion
ably 1t is Influenced by thought, FOL
high minded folk who think deeply
and beautifully have we'll modulate(
and sonorous voices with pleasing
sound.
1t is absurd to strain our voices a
we do in cities by talking against Sc
much noise. No wonder the average
voice is shrill. hard. nasal and un
pleasant. But the greatest injury done
the voice is through improper breath
ing, and this again affects the entire
health. Paying attention to this, there
fore. with the thought Of improving
the voice, will benefit the entire sys
fully to voices about you and critically
at your own. practicing deep and regu
lar breathing and such sounds as are
round and full and deep. 1t is rarely
necessary to talk as loud as the aver
age woman does, and one should learr
not to talk at all in the streets where
| there is such a rush and roar of noise
Learn to enunciate clearly and dis
tinctly, a thing which few women do
Do not humble your words or ''swal
low" them, but say them precisely ant
clearly.
The nasal sound so often noticeable
In wOmen's voices is due to adenoids
which are growth Of tissue back OF
the nose. preventing full. free circu
lation Of air through the nostrils ant
cause, in addition to the harm to the
voice, ear and throat, troubles in mum
bers Of ways. These growths ought t.
be removed. In time the nasal ant
throat spray will come to be as es
teemed an article on the dressing table
as the tooth wash and brush are now.
Lemon juice and sugar will clear the
voice. Singers often eat an apple JUS
before singing, as this helps also t.
clear the voice.

HOW BEET SUGAR IS MADE.

that Is more universally consumed than
sugar. there is probably none the man
ufacture Of which is less familiar to
the reading public than that made
from beets. The manufacture of sugar
from cane Is a relatively simple proc
ess. that of beet sugar much more COM
pick. In view of the rapid growth In
the beet sugar industry and the cree
ton of many sugar factories over the
country some account of the process
Of manufacture will be of interest to
our readers. From the storage bins.
where the beetS are unlOaded from car
or wagon, the beets are conducted to
the factory proper through fumes fill
ed with running water during which
journey most Of the dirt Is washed off
At the end of the fume they are
caught by an elevator which raises
them to the third story of the factory
where they are weighed and dropped
into slicers. from which they emerge
as shreds, or cossettes. The sliced
beets are then conveyed to the battery
which consists of number of huge
metal tubes arranged In circle and
connected by pipes that are filled with
hot water. When the cells. which
hold five or six tons apiece. are full hot
water Is turned on. which passes
finally coming out Of the last n purple
frothy liquid containing the sugar in
solution. The cossettes are reduced by
this process to Il pulp. which is return
ed to the beet grower or sold to other
feeders. From the battery the purple
it is mixed with Stacked lime burned
in kilns adjoining the factory. The
lime absOrbs some Of the impurities
while the process is continued by fore
ing carbonic acid gas through the
mass until the lime becomes united
with the gas which it gave off in burn
ing. The solution or sirup is then
strained through numerous sheets OF
canvas which permit the strip to pass
through. but catch the lime and other
impurities or sediment. If it is not
clear as result Of the first treatment
the process is repeated. The strip is
then conducted through pipes to vacu
UNI pans. where the process Of boiling
to sugar is carried on. From here the
sugar, which is mass Of crystals and
thick strip, is transferred to the cen
trifugal machines. large circular bask
cts which are run at a high rate OF
speed. Here 1t assumes whittier color
and is washed with clear, cold water
which separates the strip from the
crystals. The moist sugar is thence
conveyed to the heated drums. where
the drying process is carried on. When
thoroughly dry the sugar Is conveyed
by pipes to the warehouse on the first
floor. where 1t is packed in sacks o,
barrels ready for shipment. The fac
tory Of average capacity-30O barrels
per day-employs about 200 men and
runs night and day while the supply
Of beets lasts.

With the average yield Of potatoes
for the whole country the past year
but 953 bushels per acre. and with
some yields reaching between 300 and
400 bushels, it is appalling to think
what some Of the yields must have
been to fetch the average down to so
low u point. There would seem to be
room for all kinds Of improvement still.
even in the matter Of potato raising.

THE BRUTEs NEED WORKING.

While 1t is not always an easy thing
to do, there is little question that the
stallion or bull that Is given work Of
some kind to do Is not only better
tempered and safer to have around,
but is in far better state of health
for breeding purposes than where
closely confined without exercise and
heavily fed. There are owners who
use their stations in the regular farm
operations and who hitch their bulls
to cart or put them In treadmills. by
means Of which power IS furnished for
pumping water. grinding feed. etc.
Animals are much like folks in their
propensity to get into mischief when
they have nothing to do. Work, good
temper and good health so hand in
hand
