DR.. Woods Hutchinson n In short,
sugar is, after meat. bread aud but
ter easily our next most important
and necessary food You can put this
matter to a test pery>easily. Just leave
of the pie, pudding and other desserts
at your lunch or midday dinner.
You'll be astonlshed to find out how
quickly you'll feel empty again, and
how unfinished the meal will seem.
You can't get any workman to accept
a dinner pail without pie in It. And
he's absolutely right The only thing
that can take the place OF sugar IL
beer or wine. 1t is significant fact
that the free lunch counters run In

imaginable thing except sweets. Even
the restaurants and the lunch grills
attached to saloons or bars often re-
fuse to serve desserts OF any sort.
They know their business. The more
sugar and sweets a man takes at a

sweets The more candy nation

FACTS AND COMMENT
LOCAL AND GENERAL.
(By Retired Capltallst)
Moral Reform Indictments.

The ladies cannot resist an appeal
for mercy, accompanied by apparent
penitenee as well as good promises for
the future. Their sympathy for all
in distress, from whatever course.
their tenderness and merciful DISPOSE.
ton Is greatly to their credit, but
Is not always serviceable in pushing
practical reform This is illustrated
by the social evil refoEmers in this
city
They started war on the red lgiht
districts red-eyed. got indictments
and appeared determined to do all in
their power to clean up Cairo morally
all along the line. But here comes a
halt in their work Some of the in
dicted plead with them for mercy,
promising to be good in the future,
and secure the expression that all
the reformers want is a permanent
change in conditions; I:Tey do not de-
sire to punish anybody. This puts the
responsibility upon the court, which
naturally says if the people who insti-
tuted these prosecutions do not want
Ito follow them up, why should the
court care to; if the states attorney
says drop the cases the court is will
ing.
This shifts the responsibility for
THE prosecution upon the states at
torney, who, fortunately takes a
wider view of the matter. He says
all indictments in law are alike. II
i'll kie inducements are annulled why
may not every prisoner in Jail held
for trial point to them as presidents
and ask to have the indictments
against them annulled on promise OF
good behavior in future? The action
asked for would serve as precedent
to annoy the courts ever after this,
land would discourage earnest grand
jury work, for grand jurors would say
what is the use of bothering; it is
likely the indictments would be an.
Inulled How could the Social Purity
League afterwards reasonably go be-
lore o grand jury and,ask for indict-
ments? BY consenting to have the
pending indictments annulled the
League would raise an insurmount-
able obstacle in the path of the re-
form it espouses, and place a stumb
Hing block in the way of all moral re-
form movements.

trouble, that 1t would uphold ths Mon

treng hen our power and influence
in South America. 1t would be profit
able for our country in many ways
because it would give us much ad,
vantage from both a commercial AMI
territorial standpoint We are mere
highly civilized than they and could
give them much benefit thereby.
