YOU EAT HALF YOUR
WEIGHT IN SWEETNESS
EVERY YEAR OF LIFE

Washington, Dec. 23.-The average
citizen of the United States
half his own weight in sugar every
year, and the sugar bill of the coun-
try aggregates 81 1000, 900 for every day
of the year.
These assertions are justified by a
statistical statement Just prepared by
the bureau Of statistics of the depart
ment of and labor, which
shows the quantity Of sugar produced
in the United States, the quantity
brought from our own islands, the
quantity imported from foreign coun-
tries, and h quantity exported, show
ing a total consumption of from six
to even billion pounds a year, the total
for the latest ear 1907, being $685.
s 1896 pounds.
Calculating this enormous total at
the average retail price Of 5A cents
per pound, we get a total of 372 mill
lion dollars as its cost to the consumer,
or more than $1,000, 900 for each of the
36b days Of the yea Dividing this to-
tai of 7,089.667,97 pounds by the 1907
figures of population, we get an aver
age consumption for 1907 of 80 3-5
pounds per capita, which is more than
pne-half OF the average per capita
weight of the people of the country,
Including men, ONE and children in
this calculation.
One-fifth of this enormous total of
I, 1000, 600, 900 pounds, speaking nov in
very general terms, Is produced at
home, one-fifth is brought from our
own islands. and the remaining three
1fths from foreign countries.

PROFESSOR Is BRAVE
AS SPARTAN YOUTH

Wooster, Ohio, Dec. 28.-Professor
William 2. Bennett, 25 years in charge
of the department Of chemistry at the
University OF Wooster, has been taken
to a hospital in Cleveland in the hope
of saving his life. He is suffering from
disintegration of the breast bone. It is
feared the malady is the result Of an
injury sustained. while experimenting
with x-rays eight a ago.
Although the distinguished scholar
suffered much, the fact that he was
never without pain was Know only to
his wife and sister. Rather than ex-
pertinent on others. Professor Bennett
used the x-rays on himself and was
burned. The wound never healed.
Surgeons believe disintegration of

rested by removing the affected por-
ton or possibly the entire bone may
require remora to save other parts of
the sufferers one structure. Profess
sor Bennett is So years old.

$500, O0O-acre tract to be opened was un-
doubleday the largest remaining in the
country which will ever be opened in
a body and expects that the rush for
these lands, when this fact is generally
known. will be the biggest in proper
ton to the number Of claims that the
Ian office has ever handled.
~ know every foo of these lands,''
he said, and can assure you they are
much better than the Gregory and
Trip county lands, lately opened. They
get more rainfall and are generally
more desirable. The Milwaukee road
has gone through them, the Minneap-
OILS g. ST. Louis will follow soon, and
there Will be a wonderful development.
We hope now to have the opening in

its presence would be instrumental
