FIRST GUN FIRED IN
SUGAR TRUST WAR
FIRST Steamer From Yonkers Ar
rIves in Port and Sugar Is
Now Unsteady.

SAN FRANCISCO. August 13-Tba
hrst gun IN the contemplated sugar war
between members of the Spreckels fam
lily was fired yesterday with the arrival
OF the WeIi-known American ship Lyra
from Aonkers, New York, bringing to
the Federal Sugar Refining Company
sugar amounting to 100000 mounds
Ihe arrival of the vessel from her trip
around the Horn signifies the beeinning
of the contaminated war between the
Western Sugar Refinery. controlled bv
Adolph Spreckels and John D. Spreck
els, and the Federal Refining Comnanv
controlled by Claus A. Spreckels and
Rudolph Spreckels.
The latter corporation is one of the
largest sugar refining companies in the
world, aud II present plans DO not mis-
carry they viii fight the Western Sugar
Refinery to a finish.
When the news first leaked out that
Claus Spreckels intended to precipitate
sugar war by shipping the large cargo
to the Pacific Coast by way of the
Strait of Magellan on the steamer
Lyra, it was said by the trust that
SpreckeIs intended only to bluff his
brother, John D. Spreckels, and that
the shipment was not made with any
idea of commercial profit. However.
according to statements made by Claus
Spreckels upon his arrival from the
East, he told the press that he intended
TO fight the trust to finish and that,
with the arrival of the steamer from
New York, others would start immedi-
ately with large cargoes.
Effect on Local Market
Just what effect upon the local mar
ket the arrival of the Lyra will have
remains to be seen. When the Lyra
left on her journey to the Pacific Coast
the price on sugar was $5.15, while it
was quoted at 500 in the local market.
The jobbers claim that the arrival of
the steamer only dumps on the market
500 tons of surplus sugar, and that
they are the real ''fall guys for the
Spreckels' bitter warfare. The publ
cation of the shipment last May had
the tendency to scare the retailers from
buying more than hand to-mouth guam
titles, and as a result disturbed the
local market three months before the
sugar really arrived in San Francisco.
Now, however, the sugar is here. The
Lyra lies off Meiggs' wharf, and in the
course of today or tomorrow will dis
charge her immense cargo. Those who
believed that the shipment was bluff
are beginning to realize now that a
great sugar war has commenced.
Everything, it is said, depends upon
the profit Claus D. Spreckels derives
from this shipment. If it proves salts
factory. it is said, he will start ships
from the Yonkers refinery, and regular
sailings will be made with cargoes of
sugar to this port.

BOYS WELL-MEANT WARMING
Nautical Call Somewhat Out Of Place
When Saying Grace Was
In Order. .

There is Trenton boy who spends
his summers with an uncle, who is an
enthusiastic sailor. Last summer the
lad was particularly impressed by his
uncle's manner Of singing out Hard
a-lee!" as a signal for all hands to put
their heads down whenever, in lacking
or coming about, such proceeding was
necessary to dodge the boom.
Shortly after his return from his
uncle's place on the coast, the boy was
taken by his parents to visit his grand
father in the south of the state.
Now 1t appears that the grandfather
is a devout churchman, never failing
to say grace at meals. 1t being the
lads first visit, he gazed upon the un.
usual preliminary with some wonder:
and accordingly, after leaving the ia.
BILE, was rebuked for not having bowed
his head like the others.
The next morning the boy showed
the effects Of his rebuke. When all
were seated at table and his grand.
father inclined his head preparatory to
asking the blessing, the youngster
caused the utmost CONSERVATION by
piping out in shrill voice:

The Floht AGAINST TubercuJosIs.

Interest In the anti-tuberculosis cam.

that In the year 1909 1853 new anti-tu-
berculosis associations were formed,
1913 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit.
ais were established, and 81 tubercu.
losis dispensaries were opened. Com
pared with previous years, this Is the
best record thus far made In the fight
against consumption In this country.
During the year 1909, 43 more asso.

mining just the right flavor, consis-
tency and color necessary for a per-
feet gravy. And II she should not as
pire to be able to make a delicious
gravy with her own hands, at least
let her acquaint herself with the mys-
teries of this king Of fiavors, so that
she can by criticism and advice re-

that is the one thing needful to make
each particular food "a delicious
morsel."
In England dish gravy" Is the
gravy par excellence The English
know well how to coax out the rich
old juices from the joints they roast.
The first requisite of good gravy
is color, then smoothness, then con.
sistency. Some find little trouble in
always making gravy that is of a
dark, rich brown shade, and others
find this impossible. The latter must
learn the tricks of the trade.
Take teaspoon of sugar, and shake
and stir 1t over hot fire In a small
saucepan. Stir this into the gravy
and 1t will give the golden brown.
and no one will suspect the addition
of any sweet. Flour Drowned In this
way will give the same result. but
1t is not so quickly done.
When placing roast in the oven
shake from the dredger a little pile
of -four In one or more corners of the
baking pan. Leave your roast In
without water until the meat has
scared and the -four has Drowned
Then you are sure of brown gravy
as you add a very little water to
haste with.
Before gravy is thickened all pos.
sible fat must be skinned off, 1t Is
much easier to thicken gravy in
saucepan than in the pan in which
the meat is cooked Take out the
roast, pour some boiling water in the
pan, empty into saucepan, rinse out
the pan again, return the meat and
set in the oven to keep piping hot
while the gravy is thickened and the
vegetables are placed on the table.
GRAVES can be thickened with
either -four or corn starch. A bot
tie Of French coloring for soups and
gravies will last couple of years.
That gravy should be without the
suspicion of lump Is without ques-
ton. The cook Is fortunate who can
mix the flour and water for thicken-
ing so smoothly as to preclude any
possibility OF Jumps. The thickening
should be added when the gravy Is
simmering, and one boiling up" is
better than two for a smooth gravy.
The consistency of all gravies
should be of good rich cream, and
the greatest pleasure is taken by the
housekeeper IL only one can always
be sure that the gravy will be the
same. ..
Meats of all kinds, especially en-.
trees, should always be served with
smooth golden brown gravy The
flavor should be varied according to
the taste Of the household. For this
purpose there are tomato, onion,
catsup. curry. celery salt and dash
Of cayenne.
