THE INDIANS.

work Of the Indian bureau can be dis.

who used to sit around and draw ra-

.obsolete. Most OF the Indians OF the
day have received some education and
nearly all of them have developed a
business ability that enables them to
take very good care Of themselves in
their dealings with the white men.

In a hens egg only one fth of the
substance is nutritious, oiie-ninth is
refuse. and the remainder. the great
err portion, is water. White siielled eggs
are not quite as good as yellow ones,
for they contain q tritle more water
and a little less fat But your pnryey-
or knows this and frequently colors
his white eggs With coffee. Judged by
the amount of nutriment. IL goose's
egg is the most valuable. Next in order
are ducks, guinea fowls hens, tur-
keys and blowers. Eggs contain a
large quantity OF sulphur, which is
purifying to the blood and good for
the complexion. To get the best egg
you must feed your fowls on grain, and
to cook it III the most digestib!e way
YOU must not boil the water. Heat
the water TO $50 degrees and leave the
egg IN 1t for ten minutes. You Will
then digest every morsel. But IL you
boil it for three minutes no less than
5one-twelfth of it will fail to be digested.
Thus If YOU eat two eggs boiled for
three minutes every day you waste

SUGAR CONSUMPTION.

From 81 report by the bureau of sta
tistics the interesting fact is learned
that the people of this country con-
sulned seven billion pounds of sugar.
last year, which means about eighty
two and a half pounds per capita n
other words, Americans now eat sugar
to the amount of over half their
weight, in a year. The increase since
1900 is from, 5S.S per capita to SD
suined last year is placed at $3i2,00V,- Z
COO OF this amount q per cent WAS
produced in this country and the ball
ance imported. Domestic production
has trebled since 1900, owing largely
to the development OF the beet sugar,
Industry, but the nation still depends
upon foreign countries for about four
fiftils Of its sugar.
rho worlds production OF sugar in
1907 is placed at 32,179.7 millions of
pounds, which was almost equally di-s
yided between the cane and beet
549.T pei.$ cent for beet and 500 for cane.
And the United States, which contains
less than per cent OF the estimated
population of the earth. consumes y
per cent of this total sugar product
of the world. The per capita Gon-
sumption of sugar in Europe is but ~
pounds, or about one-third what 1t is
in America The Turk consumes but
a pounds Of sugar annually, the Greek
but and the Italian only 6. In Ger
many the per capita consumption
amounts to S4pounds and to SS pounds.
In Sweden and to So pounds in Dem
mark. q
+ Last year the home production Of
sugar amounted to 1,5f1.5 millions OF
pounds, Of which 967.2 millions were
from beets and 5443 millions from
cane. From Porto Rico we imported.
1851 millions of pounds; from Hawaii.
SCI millions; from the Philippines 25.2
millions. From Cuba and other co Gun
tries q total OF 4366.7 millions OF
pounds were bought.
To the extrayagant consumption of
sugar many trace the bad teeth OF
Americans, with or without reason.
Possibly American teeth are not, really,
any worse than those OF other nation
alities although Americans can better
afford to pay dentists for their services.
Germany, too, Is well advanced in
dentistry although its sugar consump-
ton falls far short Of that Of the
