A statement issued by the Bureau of
Statistics reports the total consumption
OF sugar i'll The UnitedsStates in 1907
at 1888, 667, ,975spounds which repres-
ents an expenditure of more than a
million dollars day. The per capita
consumption in 1907 was the largest
ever recorded, an average of S2.6 pounds
for each man, woman and child of
continental United States.
More than 21sper cent or..1, 511 900, 900
pounds of the sugar, consumption of
the country was of home production,

TESTED AND PROVEN
THERE is HEAP OF SOLACE IN BEING
ABLE TO DEPEND UPON A WELL

EARNED REPUTATION.
For months Staunton readers have
seen the constant expression of praise
for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read
about the good work they have done in
this locality Not another remedy ever
produced such convincing proof of
merit.
I. b. Dulaney, musician, living on
Jefferson St., Lexington, Va, says: 81
known Doan's Kidney Pill to be a
splendid kidney remedy from personal
experience. l had a severe attack of
kidney trouble, being seized with sharp
pains through my back and loins and
for two days being unable to leave my
bed or even turn over in it. When I
did get up the pains were so intense
that was forced to walk in stopped
position, at the same time suffering
terribly. My kidneys seemed to be
contested and felt like two hard Jumps
in my back. The secretions from these
organs were also terribly disordered
and very scanty. At last I decided to
try Doan's Kidney Pills, and procured
box. After using the contents great
improvement was noticeable in my
condition, and continued using them
until I was improved in every way. l
am still taking Doan's Kidney Pills
and cannot say too much in their
praise"

DECLARES LOVE Is A SCIENCE,
AUTHOR PROCEEDS TO DISSECT ART
OF WINNING WOMAN.-G1VES
SOME RULES FOR LOVE-
MAKING.

"Cupid, the surgeon, "or what might
more definitely be entitled "Practical
Love Making" is book on the my
steries of the tender passion, just sent
forth by Aerman Lee Meaders, of Chica-
go,
He says love in no longer game of
chance, but an exact science. You
need not be handsome, rich Of fasci-
mating to win. All that is required Is
to assimilate the rules as you would so
many pink pills-and she is yours.
Be it known, in the first place, that
all women fall into four ciasses-or at
least Mr. Meaders says they do-the
conceited, the sentimental, the mercen-
ary and the blase. The immediate
thing for one to do is to decide in which
category his beloved belongs.
"Give fattery to the conceited wo-
man," says the author, promises Of
eternal fidelity to the sentimental one,
precious gifts to the mercenary, and
sensational thrills to her who is tor
mented with ennui."
Here are some of the rules of leve-
making as revised by Mr.. Meaders, and
some of the new philosophy and wis
dom that illuminate the rules:

words of advice, they would be pa
tienee' and perseverance,
"The man who never parleys ever
cab fare, who never scans the prices on
wine list or menu, and who hiber-
mates when he's broke, carries an in
fallible armour against feminine erid-
cism.
Remember that in the final bal
ance woman in always woman.
ga carefully prepared toilet and =
modish wardrobe may be indispensa-
BILE, yet the real masculine triumph
depends on the strength, fattery, gen.
erosity and apparent sincerity.
"Supplement an erect carriage with
an athletic swing to your walk and .
discreet amount of bluster about your
prowess, and the woman will soon
have a gladiator on pedestal.
"Flattery is like morphine-the more
you have the more you want and must
have. So be liberal.
Hero worship is as much part Of
woman as corset stays, and the martyr
spirit is never deeper than her epider-
mis-.
"The Pastour treatment may save
you from rabies, but there is no anti
toxin in all materia medica that offers
any relief to the young men bitten by
a rejuvenated dame whose face is a
panorama of warfare between crows

"Jim" Bear to Wed.

Mr. James A. Bear, prominent
young lawyer of this city, is to become
benedict after the Christmas, holi-
days, Jim is leading quiet life here
but the friends of his prospective bride
are already beginning to celebrate the
happy event. The Winston-Salem
Journal has a two column write up of
a bridge luncheon given by Misses Mary
Cabell and Missile Sheppard at their
home on Summit street, when the very
interesting announcement was made
of the approaching marriage of their
sister, Miss Elsie Sheppard, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. B. J. Sheppard, to Mr..
James Bear of Roanoke, Va, the mar
riage to be celebrated after the Christ
mas holidays.
After describingsthe decorating the
Journal says: l,,Ers
"When the last course was passed,
Miss Elsie Sheppard, the honor guest
arose, and in very graceful and at
tractive manner told her friends of her
happiness. Miss Anna Buxton, who
acted as toast mistress, led the many
pretty toasts made to the bride, after
which she called on Miss Eleanor
Follin who responded in the toast to
the happy groom-elect, Mr. James Bear:
~ pledge toast to the absent one. the
bridegroom-elect, the chosen man. l
most earnestly commend this blessed
creature to your brief consideration
now, for poor fellow, you all do know
that on that day of days, when the
wedding party is assembled and all
eyes are fixed on the bride, he will get
but scant attention, unless he should
drop the ring or tread upon the bridal
gown. ask you therefore to pledge
with me toast to the happy man;
may his great happiness continue
throughout his days."
Next Miss Cora Buxton responded
very gracefully to the toast, "Why the
best men are married"
The toast mistress then called upon
Miss Jennie P. Buford to respond to
the toast to the fair bride-to-be, and in
her usual attractive style she gave Che
following pretty toast:
Here's to you, fair, bonnie bride!
May all good angels guide you,
And in your life may they abide
That naught of ill betide you.
And may you live full long to see
All of us married, sweet bride, even
me,
Which is wishing for you-immortal-
ity.
Mrs. Clement Manly followed this
dainty verse in very attractive toast
to the 'tOld Beaux," with verse from
Endymed.
The poem was given in answer to a
toast by Miss Mary Cabell Sheppard
to the girls left behind.
The last toast was given to the ''Girls
who have not the nerve to propose"
and was by Miss Anna Buxon, the
toast mistress, in her wonderfully at
tractive manned
After these toasts many good wishes
were showered upon the fair bride-to-
be and the healths of both Miss Shep-
pard and Mr. Bear were drank amidst
great merriment and rejoicing.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
OF WORK OF NEW DISTRICT ADMINIss
TRATIoN OF NATIONAL FORESTS.

OF WORK OF NEW DISTRICT ADMINIsE
TRATIoN OF NATIONAL FORESTS.
Washington, d. c., Dec. 31.-The in
stitution of six district offices in the
West by the United States Forest Ser
vice, big piece of work which has just
been completed, involves a complete
change in the machinery of this branch
of the government as regards the hand
ling of National Forests AS result
of the reorganization, the Forest Ser
vice force at the headquarters in this
city has sheen reduced to the general ad-
ministrative officers and to those who
are conducting the investigative work
of the Service outside of the National
Forests.
The six districts which have the
same boundaries as the old inspection
districts will be in charge of six dis
trlct foresters with headquarters in
Denver, Colo; Ogden, Utah; Albu-
querque, New Mexico; Missoula, Mont. !;
San Francisco, Cal; and Portland,
Greg. For nearly year preparation
for the District organization has been
going quietly but steadily forward.
This has thrown an additional burden
upon force already excessively busy,
but the work has been accomplished
and accomplished on time The tran
sition has been particularly remarkable
because it involved no material delay
in the transaction of National Forest
business while the change was going
on.
s'The Forest Service" said Clifford
Pinehot, United States Forester, ''is
putting large part of its! work into
the field, where it belongs. 1.-The Or
ganization on December l, of the Ma
tional Forestssinto, six Districts, each
in charge of local force under Dis
trict Forester,s is something we have
been working.towards fora long time.
That we have not done it sooner, is be-
causeswe-did not have sufficient num-
Der of trained men toI equip the Dis
tricts.
"The district.organization will mean
a much freer use -ofsthe National: For
ests by the ipeople, becauseI there will
not be the delay inevitable so long as
National Forest business5.isi handled
from Washington. 1t is..alsoigoing to
mean that there will always be officers
withathe power to make decisions, near
the ground, who can look into the facts
for themselves, wherever necessary,
without having to.decidesthem at long
range. 1 believe every man who uses
the National,Forests will realize these
things inside of six mouths.
1t is probable that there lhave never
been new government offices started
with their procedure so fully and de-
finietely outlined as that for the six
district offices of the Forest Servicel in
the West. 1t has been possible to start
all the offices well equipped with men
with both the training and experience
to take up thework. A number of them
are men who have formerly beenj:in
charge .of National Forests! and who
have been promoted .tofhigher posi-
tions as the direct result of their effci-
ency. All the District officers are
familiar with Western conditions;
many of them were born in the West
and lived there before and after they
entered the Government sForest work,

One Of the most important ele-

Of this semi-Bohemian intellectualism
is the great influx OF wealth into
Washington. After all, it is not pos
sible to get these interesting people
together and to get them to knowing
each other unless there is provision OF
drawingrooms and salons and enter

opens the way. 1t provides the op-
portunity and the means for bringing
together all kinds OF people who with

the Philippine islands The tabashir
Is variety OF opal sometimes deposit
ed in the joints of the bamboo, and the
beautiful greenish-pink scintillating
specimens Of the Philippines are stat
ed by a German publication to be
much more costly than the ordinary
opal Thousands of canestalks may be
examined without finding one of these
curious gems, which are probably the
result OF disease or injury. Beautiful
blush pearls or stony secretions are
occasionally formed in some cocoa
nuts and are found, ranging in size
from a pinhead to a pea, by carefully
examining the interior of ripe nuts.
About a dozen of these exquisite
pearls-all from the Philippines-are
said to be preserved among the treas
nres of European museums.
