SUGAR AS FOOD.
Used With Discrimination, 1t Is an Aid
to Good Health.

Used With Discrimination, It Is an Aid
to Good Health.
There is a prejudice against sugar
which is not justified by physiological
reasoning" says the London Lancet.
Sugar is one OF the most powerful
foods which we possess. as it is the
cheapest or at any rate one of the
appears to be able to give the same
powers of endurance as sugar, and
comparative practical experiments
have shown without the least doubt
that the hard physical worker, the
athlete or the soldier on the march is
much more equal to the physical strain
placed upon him when he has had in
Guided in his diet liberal allowance
of sugar than when sugar is denied to
him.
'"Trophies. prizes and cups have un-
dOubtedly been won on diet in which
sugar was Intentionally Il notable con-
stituent. 1t has even been said that
sugar may decide battle and that
jam after all is something more than Il
mere sweetmeat to the soldier. The
fact that sugar is q powerful muscle
food accounts probably for the disfa-
vor into which it falls. for compare
lively small quantity amounts to an
excess. and excess is always inimical
to the easy working of the digestive
processes
Sugar satiates; it is a concentrated
food. Where sugar does harm. there
fore, it is invariably due to excess.
Taken In small quantities and distrib
uted over the daily food intakes. sugar
contributes most usefully in health to
the supply Of energy required by the
body.
"And it is curious fact that the
man who practically abstains from
sugar or reduces his diet to one almost
free from carbohydrates in favor Of
protein foods. such SIS meat. often
shows feeble muscular energy and an
Indifferent capacity for physical endur-
ance"

SAVED o. HIS teeth.
Quick Wit Of q Missionary Among
Tribe of Cannibals.

Y Tribe Of Cannibals.
n Missionaries have much to contend
with in dealing with the tribes on
some Of the islands Of the southern
Pacific. and | am reminded of an in
,,ident happening on a remote island
Of the Fiji group whose tribes were
still Influenced by the savagery OF
capnibalism. A German missionary
,tad made excellent progress toward
the enlightenment Of tribe OF saw
ages in the interior when he was TAX
en III and forced to abandon his work
and seek recuperation in village
along the coast
During his absence native medicine
man succeeded in undoing all that the
good German father had accomplished.
The latter was warned that under the
circumstances it would be unsafe for
him to return to the scene Of his Ia
bors upon his recovery. but he decid-
ed that his duty called him there. and
upon regaining his strength he jour-
neyed inland to the village whose in
habitants had gone over to the teach
ings Of the medicine man.
His reception was decidedly a warm
one, and he was Informed that unless
he made practical demonstration of
the superiority Of his teachings over
those of the medicine man he would
be converted in short order into food
for the hungry tribesmen. He at once
realized that his life hung upon q
slender thread and endeayored to show
to the savages by argument that their
conclusions as to his edible qualities
were entirely erroneous and that they
should turn their thoughts to other
kinds of food as we'll as to higher sub
tects. ~-.
His efforts were in vain, however,
and just as he was about to be struck
down by the uplifted clubs of the chief
men in the tribe he happily bethought
himself Of the fact that his upper teeth
were false Opening his mouth, he
hastily extracted his set flourished it
In the faces Of his astOunded OppO-
nents. and particularly the features Of
the medicine man. and. replacing the
teeth as suddenly as he had extracted
them, rebuked his charges in a man
ner which can better be imagined than
described. The tribe, believing that
he had performed miracle in taking
out and replacing his own teeth, drove
the medicine man from the village and
restored the missionary to his former
place as uplifter of their material and
spiritual destinies Star.

The Process of Making Them Neeessi.
tates Slow Work.

tates Slow Work.
A bowling. ball looks as If it were
easy to make yet its manufacture In
wolves long process covering period
of three days. The actual time put upon
1t is only matter Of three hours, but
the work is slow and requires long
waits between each step toward compile
ton. A log free from knots and cracks
is first cut into pieces tride larger
than the diameter Of the ball after 1t Is
finished. This allows for two little
projections on either side called "bits,"
where the clamps Of the lathe hold the
block of wood while revolving at light
ming speed under the keen edged tool
cutting into the hard fiber like a sharp
knife slicing 4 fresh cheese.
This preliminary turning and trim
ming occupy only few minutes.
when the block is shaved and pared
down to the required size. The bits
then are cut off and the whole thing
sandpapered 4 coat Of sheliac is ap-
piled and the ball is put one side to
ufV. Il tucu SetS illOtucI SduupdpCA-
ing. This is no sooner done than the
workman again carefully applies the
shellac brush. When the shellac dries
the second time. the surface is rubbed
with oil. The work doesn't stop then.
for the moment the Oil has dried the
ball gets another vigorous sandpaper-
ing Then for the last time 1t gets
more shellac When thoroughly dry.
the sphere is ready for the two holes
to be cut for the bowlers thumb and
index finger The last stage of the labo-
rious process is the polishing, which
gives the ball the appearance it has
when it reposes Oh the rack waiting to
be sent crashing down the alley.
Sometimes there is considerable
waste in cutting up the logs because OF
cracks and assures in the wood. On
this account an ordinary sized log may
yield only one block sound enough to
put on the turning lathe, while it ought
to make six or seven. The life of the
average bowling ball is about two
years. The best balls cost SIS or Sc,
while the cheapest scale down near the
dollar mark.

Sailors Superstitions.

1t is common belief among sailors
that q ship which has been sunk and
raised again is haunted by the ghosts
Of those who were drowned in her.
Some years ago large emigrant
steamer was sunk in the Mediterra-
mean, and over 500 lives were lost.
Thousands were spent in raising the
vessel. She was brought home and
reftted. but has never since been used.
1t is impossible to keep a crew. The
men declare that every night the great
hull rings with the screams and groans
Of the multitude who sank, like rats
in trap. to the bottom of sixty feet
