the United States. This report con-
tains al interesting summary of facts
and figures relating to this industry.
In 1896 there we're 6 beet-sugar fac
tories in operation and one building,
having altogether a capacity for sdic-
ing 1000 ton of beets daily. In 1908
there were ga factories, with a total
capacity of 5 10000 tons of Ibeets daily
more than a twelve-foid increase.
From 1898 to 1906 u production CT
beet sugar grew from $4,000 tons TO
4S4, 900 an increase of more thar uhir'
teen fold in eight years.
In 1896 Al, 900 acres OF beets were
harvester; in 1906 376,000 acres or
more than nine times as great an
area.
The price of tbeets, like prices of 9th
er farm crops, has risen steadily. In
1896 the factories paid $40 per ton;
now they have to pay $5.35.
In 1898 the farmers had 1854, 900 tons
of beets= to sell to the factories, for
which they received $1,564, 900. In
1906. just eight years later, they had
4,236,0OO tons OF beets to sell, and re.
ceived for them $21, 604, 000-a twelve
fold increase In beets and a fourteen
fold increase in money returns
The total Mount paid out by factor
les for beets during h past twelve
years amounts to $121 900, 900.
The total capital invested in beet
sugar plants In this country is abonr
$40. DOC, 900 and this does not include
investments made by factory owners
in farm lands, irrigation works etc.
Among other things the Senate call
ed on the Secretary of Agriculture TO
state how much beet sugar a De pro
duced in the United States. The Sec
Rotary replies that we have demon
strated conditions of soil and climate
favorable to beet culture in an area of
at least PA million acres, and that 1t
will only take one acre out OF every
200 Of this to produce all the sugar
we now import from foreign sources.
He estimates that II the sugar beet
were grown throughout those portions
Of the United States adapted by ma
ture and with the aid OF irrigation to
its culture, with a system OF rotation
including the cultivation of the beet
every fourth rear, Is million tons OF
beet sugar could be produced in the
United States annually, or more than
the worlds total production OF
at the present time"
It appears from this report that
the people of European countries have
to pay a good deal more for their SUI
gar than we do. For b years 1904
1907 the era retail price OF FtTnp
sugar in Naples and Milan was 1914
cents per pound, in Amsterdam 9.4
cents, in Madrid nearly 8 cents, in
Stockholm 7K cents in Vienna and
Budapest 7K cents, in Paris 81 cents
In Dresden and Bremen nearly s cents
and In Brussels 5N cents
The prices given are o lump sugar
because that is the grade most uni,
for9flY- ,quotefein 4he- European sta
|tistfcs. This grade appears to be
much more generally consumed than
GRADUATED in most countries OF Cont,
mental Europe.
The Brussels Sugar Convention,
which went fnto-eHeet September l..
1908, caused q radical reduction OF me
price Of sugar In many European
countries. In belgium the fan In the
retail price was az cents per pound.

the tubercle bacillus. This micro-or-
ganism is not animal in nature, u
vegetables, hence it cannot crawl or
fly, but when dried it may be carried
in the air like dust. 1t is killed in
a few hours when exposed to the di-
rect rays of the sun, if spread out in
thin layers as well Is when treated
with strong antiseptic solutions, such
as carbolic acid, Bichloride of mercu-
ry, chloride of lime, etc.
In man it attacks the bones, joints
kidneys, intestines, Emphatic glands
and organs and tissues of the body,
but is most common in the lungs.
While 1t is true that the disease
may be conveyed from one person to
another it is not contagious by con-
tact in the ordinary meaning of that
term like measles, smallpox, whoop
ing cough and such diseases, but the
germs are in the expectoration or dis
charges from the affected area, and
when dried so as to be readily carried
by the air they are dangerous, conse-
quently the expectoration should al
way be kept mott until it can be de-
stroyed, preferab = by fire.
AS much depends upon the physical
conditions . Of the individual exposed
as to his surroundings in contracting
the disease. If there exists a certain
impaired vital activity of the cells of
the body, a low resistive power, as we
term it, then the germ of tuberculosis
will grow, n not otherwise. The
probability is that all people at times
inhale the germs of the disease, but
only those who are in a bad condition
physically develop it. 1t is well to
know that with proper precautions on
the part of both, one may live in the
same house with a consumptive and
not fear infection.
To Prevent Infection.
There are many precautions that

 For years have suffered agony from stomach trouble, always eX- pertencing severe pain immediately after eating.

I was troubled with gas on my stomach. and my bowels were In e wretched condition.
