The Price of Sugar.

The Lancet.
1t seems inconceivable that the
bountifulness with which the world Is
supplied with sugar should mean any
thing else than that it Is designed for
human 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
nave shown. without the least doubt,
chat the hard physical worker, the
athelete. or the soldier on the march,
is much more equal to the physical
strain placed upon him when he has
mad included in his diet a liberal al
.owance of sugar than when sugar 10
lenied to him.. Trophies, prizes and
cups have undoubtedly been won on
a diet in which sugar was intention
Ally a potable constituent. 1t has even
Jeen said that sugar may decide a bat
tie. and that jam, after all, Is some
hing more than a mere sweetmeat to
the soldier.
The fact that sugar il a powerful
luscle food accounts. probably. for
ne disfavor into which II falls, for a
comparatively small quantity amounts
an excess. and excess is always in
dlcal to the easy workings of the dit
estve processes. A strong solution OF
ugar is irritating to the tissues, will
set up superficial inflammation. and
nay produce a form of eczema. It is
we'll known that an excessive diet OF
Iugar irritates the mucous membrane
Of the stomach and encourages the pro-
duction of mucous and of highly acid
gastric juice.
The ingestion of much sugar spoils
the appetite. Children who have been
tempted to overlndulge in "lollipops'
between regular eating times do not
want their ordinary meal. This school
boy spoils his dinner by eating too
many sweet things before that meal
An overindulgence in sweet liqeurs,
in sweet ices. and in ''crystalized
fruits after dinner retards the diges-
ton of the meal
Sugar satiates; 1t is a concentrated
food. When sugar does harm, there
fore, 1t is invariably due to excess.
Takin In small quantities and distrib-
uted over the daily food Intakes,
sugar contributes most usefully In
health to the supply of energy requir-
ed by the body.

Certain II is that last autumn's crisis
precipitated and effected the revolu-
ton. The patient himself went into an
indescribable panic. He was fright

hot, whitening simeon had passed and
he found himself still alive. though
gasping, his mental condition was one
Of extreme prostration. His first Inn
pulse was resentment. Someone had
hit him and laid HIM low. Someone
had ordered this scorching fire to sweep
over him. Who else could 1t be but
Roosevelt. Yes, 1t was Roosevelt. A

But not for long was the PRESIDENT

Lisbon. Feb. S.--From the midst Of
the anarchy that embroils the land
comes decision OF interest to the
whole church world, the High Court OF
Lisbon having settled for q generation
at least the vexed question OF religious
liberty in Portugal There may not be
the much desired freedom of action in
other directions. but for the present the
sale OF the Bible may not be prohib-
tied on the streets. A local Judge
found man guilty at Elvas OF selling
books Of the Evangelical Protestant
religion called Bibles" and he was
fined. but the higher tribunal has
quashed this decision.
The ecclesiastical position fs rather
peculiar. inasmuch as the Penal Code
IL out of harmony with the constitu.
tional charter, granted in 1895. BY
this charter, mo one can be prosecuted
on account Of his religion, provided
he respects the state religion and does
not offend public morals" This would
seem to afford ample protection to
those who claim religious freedom. But
the Penal Code goes much further
heavy penalties being prescribed
against those who injure the State re-
ligion or propagate doctrines opposed
to make converts to the doctrines
which are reproved by that church. or.
celebrate public worship Of any sort
different from that the Roman
Church.
The organ Of the Portuguese. Church
Aid Society summarizes the Judgment
thus: "The Bible called Protestant
contains no word or passage which is,
not actually found in the Catholic BIZ
BILE, and therefore the Protestant BIZ
BILE could not have doctrine opposed to
the Catholic doctrine. The coiporteur
was nothing more or less than a sim
pie travelling bookseller ana on this
account could not be considered prop
agandist of religion opposed to the
state Church. The Constitutional Char.
ter lays down that no one 10 to be per-
secuted for his religious opinions, pro-
vided he shows respect TO the State
and respects public morality. ana IN
this case there IL nothing offensive to
the State religion or public morality"
This Judgment IL epoeh-making. Coll
porteurs and evangeiists who obey the
law will no longer be in fear OF arbi-
trary arrest ana cruel treatment. Ru-
raj Portugal Is open to the preaching
of the Gospel, which Of necessity fol-
lows the circulation Of the Gospel.

the second he was employing the same
masterfui genius and prestige to avert

his fellow man, for his people and his

In those dark days, when Mr.. Morgan
was performing prodigies as the sa-
yior Of the situation. he learned more
than even he had ever known of the
selfishness, the rapacity, the narrow
ness, the cowardfce. the smaliness, the

The man who saved New York ana
the country from the worst and most
destructive financial crash America
ever saw. Is now the undisputed king.
ar. Morgan's will is supreme in Wall
street. 1t Is doubtful IL any other
mah, IN any country. ever held such q

feels the responsibility which his lead.

He more clearly than any other man
realizes that a large part OF the ills

not surprising he feels a great disgust
