SOURCES OF SUGAR.

The United States Department Of Agri-

OF chemical composition the sugar which
occurs in the sugar beet, the sugar
maple, and other vegetable products is
identical with that which appears in
sugar cane. AS It occurs IN nature the
sugar is accompanied by various other
materials dissolved in plant juice and
It is the presence Of such particles that
gives certain commercial sugar products
like molasses and maple syrup their dis
tinct flavor. Old-fashiOnei brown sugar,

Association last winter Justice Gould
was called upon for a speech. Passing

Capital OF this great nation. Here the
courts have to send unfortunate crlmt-

Elsewhere they would not he tolerated

Caused Much Comment.
Justice Gould's imprOmtu, bUt impas-
stoned, speech before the citizens as
sociation was widely commented upon
at the time.
Some OF the details of the conditions
at the jail. as told by Judge Gould, were
almost unbelievable, and were in part
unprintable. His hearers forgot for the
moment their grievance against the
street car lines, which is generally a
sore point with BrIghtwOOd residents,
and sat aghast, as Justic Gould unfold
