LEFT t:CTE 764l TIE ASA Consumer WHo Vae N''se fcund cos Some New Things About Sugar
 E'e Bought.

Two barrels of sugar had arrived at he home of a well-ltnOwn chemist. and they were standing in the kitchen when he came home for luncheon. Fol lowing his custom of testing edibies before they are cooked, he submitted some of the sugar to a familiar proc, ess. At once strange odor filled tie room and foated through the house,
 "Henry," exclaimed his wife, lean- ing over the railing on the second floor whats the matter now?"
 Why, Martha?"
 Something seems to be burning downstairs. Is anything on fire?"
 "Oh, I'm only testing the sugar. You see a simple way to find out if 1t is pure is to burn 1t. Pure sugar will be entirely consumed, but if the product has been adulterated an ash will remain"
 This aroused the wife's curiosity. What happened to our sugar when you set 1t on re?" she inquired.
 Tt not only left an ash, but also a charred coal Some grated white rubber may have got into the barrels by mistake"

Prudence Milton as much as q year
ago discovered that Alfred Ruthven
possessed all the qualities that 60 to
make a man noble and splendid and
brave-no. not brave! A brave man
would have proposed to Prud ence long
since. But Alfred, Prudence knew.
was handsome and intelligent, and
prosperous. Just one thing he lacked
-self-confidence. Alfred was bashful
on the love subject
A great many men are SO. They
can discuss politics, the musical
glasses, the drama. literature. art,
science and the classics fuently with
a young woman, but they shy away
from the real heart interest like an
aeroplane lodging church steeple.
Why, Prudence had inveigled Alfred
into long walks with her in the sill
very moonlight of spring and the gol-
den moonlight Of summer-all to no
avail. Once. in August. she was boat
ing with him. and she had pretended
to be afraid the boat would capsize.
What would you do II 1t did," she
asked him.
Naturally she expected him to reply
that he would plunge in after her
and save her or perish in the attempt
Such heroic remark as that would Of
course lead into a more passionate
avowel OF his reasons for being will
ing TO lay down his young life for her
and thon, Of course, he could easily
hop-skip right along to a request that,
since he was willing to die for her,
she might consider favorably a propo-
sition to share his life with him, or
words to that effect
But when she asked him, with a
tremulous shake in her lovely voice,
and with a world of faith and trust
In her lustrous eyes:
What would you do If the boat
capsized?"
He never even stopped rowing. He
Just said:
1T wouldn't matter much. The wa
ter isn't over three feet deep here"
Prudence almost capsized the boat
from sheer vexation then. When a
woman becomes vexed with a man be-
cause he does not realize that he loves

Come we now to Christmas eve. Pru-
dence had, by ways and means familiar
to- the feminine mind. conveyed to the
bashful Alfred the intelligence that
she had made for him a Christmas re-
membrance. Never mind how she did
this. You, If you are a man grown,
will be able to bark back into your
own past and bring up some instances
of woman's diplomacy wherein she
was able to tell you something with
out saying anything in particular. Just
gave your intuition a chance
Knowing this, Alfred knew that 1t
was his bounden duty to reciprocate-

her, you may 20 out and stake all
your worldly possessions that sooner
or later she will bring that man to
his knees, or her feet. as you like to
put It
Let US pass lightly over the glorious
days Of fall. when Prudence allowed
Alfred to call several times and hnd
her In the kitchen with an apron on
helping her mother put up jelliss and
preserves and things. Let us even
pass lightly over the evening when
she showed him the blister upon her
fair white hand made by sputter-
ing drop Of apple butter. Yes, pass
lightly over It. Any sane man, any
man in possession of ordinary facul-
ties. when a beautiful young creature
held out little white hand and show
ed him a blister thereon-not big
blister. Just a sort of a beauty spot Of
a blister-would have taken that hand
in his and all but wept over IT. He
would have asked her to give that
hand to him and to come along with
It herself. and would have sworn by
high heaven and the marching stars
and the sun and moon and sky that
never again should that wonderful
hand know the wearying stress Of
TOLL What did Alfred dor
He looked at the blister appraising-
ly-without taking those taper fingers
In his-and he said
stick a needle under It from one
side and let the water out. then put .
little peroxide on It tomorrow"

pretty lips together in a straight line

pie, fortunately, at that moment.
Won't you help me?" she asked.
'T think it is such fun to decorate the
house with the holly and stun for the
holidays. Now I've Just been trying
to tie this bunch to the chandelier"
She mounted a chair and affixed the
bunch of green sprays to the chande-
lied. Alfred stood in dumb admira-
ton. He looked at Prudence, and he
looked at the green heritage which
she fastened to the fixture. She look
ed down at him, smiling, then put out
her hand.
Help me down." she said.
Alfred caught her hand to assist her
to come from the chair.
Heroes are made in a moment. No
man knows In what instant his soul
may flame within him so that he will
do and dare as he never dreamed of
doing or daring. The philosophers
call such times psychological mo-
ments. This was one. Alfred helped
Prudenc down, and 1t was quite nat
ural and easy for her to find herself
in his arms when she reached the
moor. Anu tneu DelOTe Suc hueW WudI
he was about-at least, 80 she said
he had kissed her.
Mister Ruthven!" she exclaimed
How dare you?"
'I-I-you know-the-the mistle-
toe!" he stammered. disengaging one
arm and pointing to the decoration
above her head.
'T forgot that" she said, demurely.
And then Alfred found tongue at
last and told her what she had wanted
him to tell her all the year. And he
asked her to be his Christmas gift,
| and she consented in what is so often
called the time-honored way. That is.
she allowed him to put the kiss back
where he got It.
Later that evening Alfred said to
her:

would have had the courage to pro-
pose to you If It hadn't been for that

So Alfred might have been seen
stepping hesitatingly up the steps of

He carried small package In one

this to whoever came to the door. with
a message that 1t was for Prudence.

was called the Fuller bill, another form the Carmichael bill, and various oth CT names which will die with the law; but, like Banquo's ghost, will live With the authors of such laws. They all emanated from the same source, and might have well been written by q dictator for the people. They are not sensible laws. They were sent to the legislature and passed without the dot ting of the I," without the crossing, of "t," and with no amendment to jar their cranks, but alleged perfeer forms. They represented one man s thoughts, not a peoples thoughts; they represented one mans mind, not a peo- ple's mind; they represented one man s prejudices. not the business of peo- pie, and as all such they must ulti- mately fall.
 Such laws, while admitting the use of alcohol in this state, acknowledges that no freeman of Alabama IS fit 10 manufacture it; while permitting that and that, yet are so restrictive as 10 make each man fearful of what is his right The great trouble of such law or laws Is that no man knows what is the law. There is no man, no law yer, no judge in this state who knows the law of the state today on the sub ject of intoxicating liquors Each

Where brazen throat of politician does not mislead, nor blatant execution of the law tend to humble it's real auth or and force the people. Alabama has had some of this, but let us turn the page after painting it with the glue ot oblivion.

While this Is not an excuse for voting for him, for no one needs an excuse, it Is one of the rea- sons, because it adds to the knowledge, and knowledge of a man Is what you want when you propose to vote for him. If you can get 1t first hand, so get 1t; if you cannot, take 1t second hand from some honest man whom you can trust to advise in the exercise of yo Ir righs of franchise.

 Objections to O'Neal
 Some objections are being made to Emmet ONeal in the effort to find out why he ought not to be governor, and many more may be manufactured Some of them are hard run. Some of them look as if drowning men were catching at straws in order to carry their points. But such matters will not do. Some say he is not a good lawyer If he was otherwise the same people would be now oDjecting by say ing he is good lawyer. If he is not a good lawyer, some people missed q very fine opportunity to make tkis point when he was elected president of the Alabama State Bar association. That association is composed of law yers exclusively and they ought to know lawyer when they see him. It stands to reason that they elect their best to be their leading officers, and 1t stands to reason that if he were not good lawyer he would not be president of that association. As a lawyer he cannot be accused of hay ing represented vested or corporate in- terests and this certainly ought no. to weigh against him: he has been as the small boy would say, just an all around, regular lawyer
 Before the anti-amendment campa gn began some said he was not q good speaker, but I will not follow this point, as there is not man, wom- an or child in the state who has nor had an opportunity of finding this out. and all who heard him whether for or against him agree that he is a good speaker and a word pitcher who has few superiors. He generally lets his opposing speaker die on the home plate, few get to first base, and none home.
 Freak Legislation
 This state has witnessed, We trust, the last of freak legislation. This IS the kind of Legislation that is con- ceived and brought forth by coterie of men with one line of ideas and which does not go through the fire Of adverse criticism, and adverse through friendly aid, and finally become crys tallized into the law which abideth with all men and which all men abide.
 We have had legislation which was conceived by one man, written by his attorney, O. K.'d by the executive passed by the legislature, approved by the governor, and then called law. It did look like law in form, but it did not have it's essence of promotion from the heart of the people and consequent ly in was law only until the proper power could get at it and put it in the junk pile.
