WAR ON GOVERNOR MAGoor

WAR ON GOVERNOR MACON.
HAVANA, Feb. "a newspaper here
publishes a long dispatch from its cor
respondent who is in Washington as
an envoy of the striking university
students, in which it is asserted that
General Edwards will be sent to Cuba
to investigate Governor Magoon's ad-
ministration.
The correspondent describes at
length an interview he had with Secre-
tary Taft on the matter of pharmacists
certificates and declares that Governor
Magoon's pharmacist decree will be
killed. He also asserts that several
public men, including Representative
Suzer, are attacking Governor Magoon
on many counts.

EVERYBODY
SHOULD EAT SUGAR
LONDON LANCET SAYS TT Is a
VERY VALUABLE AND NECES-
SARN FOOD.

The London Lancet, a well-known
medical authority, says: 1T seems in
conceivable that the bountifulness
with which the world is supplied with
sugar should mean anything else than
that it is designed for human food
Sugar is one of the most powerful
foods which we possess as IL is the
cheapest, or at any rate one of the.
cheapest In muscular labor no food
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 Isl
much more equal to the physical strain
placed upon him when he has had in
cluded in his diet a liberal allowance
of sugar than when sugar is denied to
him. Trophies, prizes and cups have
undoubtedly been won on a DIET in
which sugar was Intentionally a note
able constituent. 1t has even been SAID
that sugar may decide a battle, and
that jam, after all, is something more
than a mere sweetmeat to the soldier.
THE fact that sugar is a powerful
muscle food accounts probably for
the disfavor into which it falls, for
comparatively small quantity amounts
to an excess, and excess is always ini-
mical to the easy working of the di-
gestive processes A strong solution
of sugar is irritating to the tissues,
will set up superficial Inflammation
and may produce a form of eczema. 1t
is well known that an excessive diet
of sugar irritates the mucous mem
brane of the stomach and encourages
the production of mucus and of a
highly acid gastric juice.
THE ingestion of much sugar spoils
the appetite. Children who have been
tempted to overindulgence in 'lollipops'
between regular eating times do not
want their ordinary meal. The school
boy spoils his dinner by eating too
many sweet things before that meal.
An overindulgence in sweet liquors. in
sweet ices and in 'crystalized' fruits
after dinner retards the digestion of
the meal.
Sugar satiates; it is a concentrated
food. Where sugar does harm, there
fore, it is invariably due to excess.
Taken in small quantities and dis
tributed over the daily food intakes,
sugar contributes most usefully in
health to the supply of energy requir-
| ed by the body. In certain diseases,
of course, the presence of sugar in the
diet is plainly undesirable. Generally
speaking, however, there is a prejudice
against sugar which is not justified by
| physiological reasoning-at all events
when it is eaten in moderation; and
| it is a curious fact that the man who
practically abstains from sugar, or re-
duces his diet to one almost free from
| carbohydrates in favor of protein foods
such as meat, often shows feeble mus
cular energy and an Indifferent, capa-
city for physical endurance"

LIMITING HEIGHT OF BUILDINGS.
Springfield, Mass, Follows Example
OF European Cities.

Municipal regulation of the height
OF buildings is proposed at Spring
Held, Mass, following the lead of
continental Europe in this respect.
The plan has the Endorsement OF
some of the best educators In the
country, notably several connected
with the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. who favor the regulation
Tor sanitary, rather than esthetic rea-
sons. 1t is contended that tall build
ings are Objectionable by reason of
the great number OF people they
crowd upon small space, with the
resulting deprivation Of the tenants
of sunlight, and their subsection to
nervous strain due ito the close ag-
gregation OF large numbers of human
beings"
The Springfield ordinance proposes
limiting the height of buildings to
one and half times the width Of the
streets upon which they are erected.
with maximum permissible height

allowed to weigh them. AT the sound
of the opening gong the auctioneer
takes his place in front of the first
pile and announces the number of
punches in it. The buyers then write
on slips of paper the sum they are
willing to give per bunch for the pile.
These are handed to the auc-
tioneer, who lays them face down on
the palm of his hand until all are in,
when he turns them over and reads
them off. The slip containing the
highest bid is then handed to the
buyer making 1t, who writes on II his
initials and the date and offers it to
the owner of the sponges. If he ac-
cepts 1t the sale is consummated, but
IL he refuses the sale is off and the
sponges are removed and brought
back the next sale day. The buyer is
not allowed to back out of his bid
unless he can clearly prove there has
been some fraud in the matter.
AS each buyer is allowed but the
one bid, great care and skill are re-
quired on the part of the buyer not
to go too high or too low. Sometimes
the bids vary greatly, as a buyer may
have an imperative order for certain
varieties, and he bids high in order
to be sure OF getting them.
The buyers have large warehouses
and in these the sponges are thor
oughly dried, the remaining dirt and
debris removed, the rough sides
trimmed off so as to make a more
shapely appearance, and then baled
for shipment.
Previous to about ten years ago
some OF the trips were very profita-
BILE. Ono of the best ever made was
probably that Of the Competitor from
Key West, in the winter of 1S79-S0.
She was out about eight weeks and
stocked $4,000.
Diving Not Successful
AS it was a difficult matter to gath
er sponges in the deeper water, the
experiment of taking them by means
of diving was tried in 1884. Three
Greek sponge-divers were brought
over to this country, and these men,
together with an experienced diver
from New York, did the first work.
The experiment did not prove sue
cessful, however, owing to the heavy
expense for diving and the fact that
sponges were not found in such
abundance in the deeper waters as
had been anticipated. AS it was
claimed that the diver, in walking
over the bottom, destroyed the young
growth, the Legislature in 1899
passed law forbidding the gather
ing of sponges by diving either with
or without diving suits.
The spongers classify the sponges
as follows: Sheepswool, yellow.
grass, velvet and glove. There are
also several other grades, but they
are chiefly recognized as minor SUBJ
divisions OF the above. The Sleeps
wool is the most valuable and is gem
orally know to the consumer as the
bath sponge. The other varieties are
principally employed in the arts and
sciences.
