SUGAR MAKES YOU GROW.

In Height and Weight.

Americans and BritOns Increasing
In Height and Weight.
English and American girls Just
reaching womanhOod, and the next
generation In its early teens, are un-
usually tall, standing q head or
more above their mothers. This has
been remarked on over and over
again, and has been the subject OF
learned disQui5itions. Yet no gen.
orally accepted cause for the fact has
been given up TO this time.
Now comes q London physician Of
note and says that it is simply 8
case OF heightened sweetness. By
sweetness In this particular case
the nature of the young ladies is
not referred to. but their diet. In
fact, statistics of recent years show
that Americans and Britons of both
sexes are increasing in height and
weight. Why? The physician re-
ferred to says it is sugar.
Great Britains and Americans are
the sugar eating nations of the world
and have quadrupled their saccha-
rine consumption in the last score Of
years.
This is now the best explanation
OF an accepted fact, and it will have
to stand until better one comes
along.-LondUE Tit-Bits.

OUR WESTERN CONGRESSMEN

OON WEO ENN OONGRESOH4E-tN
The Colored Mans Friend
The Bee takes great pleasure in
presenting to its readers the Honor
able William ]. Cary, of Milwaukee,
whose cut appears in this weeks IS
sue. Mr.. Cary is serving his second
term n Congress, having been elected
four years ago to succeed the Hon
orable Theoba1d Otjc2 under the new
primary laws of Wisconsin. Mr.,
Cary is a self made man and has
worked his way Up to the p.eseAt 2o-
sition that he now holds He has
made great many friends since he
came TO Congress, both among Re
publicans and Democrats, on account
of his kind and exact business dis
position. He is an uncomprOmising
Republican and a true, loyal friend
to the cOlOred race who believes in
giving a square deal to every man,
regardless of his creed or color He
is very popular here in Washington
among the colored people and is al
ways ready and willing to do any
thing in his power to further their
cause. Mr.. Cary is a great admirer
of Booker T. Washington and be-
lieves that the colored race would be
benefited by following Mr.. Washing
toms teachings.
Mr.. Cary has quite a number OF
colored voters in his district and they
feel proud Of having such an able
representative as Mr.. Cary in Con-
gress at this time, when the Demo
ratio party is doing all in its power
to disfranchise every Negro in the
Sothern States, and take from him
all the inalienable rights guaranteed
them bv the Constitution and It will
onlv be a matter of time If the
Democratic party succeeds in carrying
this country that they will try TO
ring about the disfranchisement OF
the colored voters of the United
States. It behooves every liberty
loving colored man to so conduct him
self taht he will have the respect
Of his white friends and by thus do
ing they will have the hearty coop
Grafton of such true and loyal men
as MFR. Cary and other Western Re
nublicans. The Bee feels safe in say
ing that it voices the sentiment OF
cverv colored voter in Mr.. Cary S
district when it says that it is their
hest wishes to see Mr.. Cary con tin
ued in Congress until he is called
upon to fill a higher and more eXait-
ed position.
The Bee wishes to extend to the
coIored voters of the Fourth District
its CONGRATULATIONS for having sent
such an able statesman as Mr.. Cary
to renresent them in the 6Ist Con
oress, and it hopes that theApeople
will see that he is reelected to the

Before the American Federation of Labor Samuel Com
ers its president maintained that not less than 900
labor votes cast for the democratic party in 1905 be-
of the inuncton abuse in the federal courts. 1t
would be hard to determine what degree of psychological
Influence the injunction question really exercised upon the
last election But, with all his intelligence and assumed
knowledge of the sentiments of those whom he ably repre-
sents, Mr.. Gompers has been led into strange exagger
alton to the vote of organized labor for the national
democratic ticket. s.,a r..,,7~.sr.
His assertion is in direct contradiction with the fact that
in Pennsy lvania New York, Massachusetts and other
states comprising the nation great industrial centers
where organized labor has it's strongest organizations
enormous maorite gave their support to republican
didates Had organized workngmen Of these great indus
trial centers supported the espoused by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor the result would have been quite
different. ~.,r.~~~
Even in the southern states where the democrats
achieved their greatest it is found that the nu
and votes of the Federation of Labor compare
lively small The simple truth is that great majority of
the working of the country organized and morgan
zed still cling to the superstitous belief in the miraculous
power Of the tariff to maintain their wages while despol
ing them with grevous protective taxes upon the
sares and comforts of their families.
In this belief they cast their votes in overwhelming pro-
portion for the party of the tariff and the trusts in spite
the well meant effects of their leader Mr. Gompers and
the A. F. of H. to win them for the better of democ
racy. Yet there is question that the national democ-
racy if not saved from wreck by the votes of organized
labor received of them in the last election than
