For the years. past DIR. Hartwig

SEVERE PUNISH MENT DESERVED
There is no doubt, but that the
general feeling is, that the kidnappers
of children should be summarIly
dealt with, for it is a crime worse
than murder-and in many cases, the
murder of the stolen children fol-
lows and the poor parents live in
doubt as to the condition and where
abouts of their children. and suffer
so long as life lasts, many being sent
to premativere graves by reason of
such suffering. which may be imagi-
ned better than described.
The following have been the notable
kidnappings in this untry during
the past twenty-five years:

SOMETHING ABOUT SUGAR

SOMEIHlNG Adult SUGAR
1t is figured out that the increased
cost in sugar per year to the average
American family is $500 more than
it would be if the tariff thereon was
removed.
There is consumed annually 6. 371. =
578, 900 pounds, or by the average
family 400 pounds.
The average price is St cents per
pound.
The protective tariff 2 cents per
pound.

cious little but the Havermeyers and

deuce of the practicabllity of greatly
reducing the duty, if not entirely
wiping it out, was given by Samuel
A. Spreckels, in his testimony before
the ways and means committee at
Washington last November.
"The independent refners, who
are few in number, frankly state
that they would be PERFECTLY satisfied
with free sugar and that they do not
need any protection. The people as
a whole therefore, may we'll ask why
it is that they ere compelled to bear

were finished in about an hour and a

teased Parent until Fred dumped right
at him and Daredevil Dave was tagged
