Princess Helena

Dorothy FriedenthaI. Age IL Years.
Once upon time, many. many
years ago, there lived in the beautiful
country of Fanebyne a little princess
who went by the name of Helena. The
good fairy Gabrielle who blessed her
at her birth said she would surpass
all in beauty, in grace and in wealth.
But when she grew to be IL years
old she did not care about grace or
beauty, but only of the pleasures she
could have with her great riches. So
one day as she was beating her little
pet dog with an ivory stick, 10! and
behold! fash after flash came out of
the dog, and the dazzling light so
blinded Helena that she closed her
eyes. When she could see again,
there in front of her stood Gabrielle.
II will give you one more chance"
said the fairy. II am the good fairy
who gifted you at your birth and
this is how you use the gfft | gave
you. If you are wicked once more,
will turn you into gorilla"
The child sank upon the floor by
the fairy, but instead of the beautiful
lady, there lay the little dog again.
You horrid thing" she cried, kick
ing the animal. "IHow dare you make
me believe it was a fairy that came
out of you. I'll but she stopped

CAN'T BEAT THE BEET.
One of the Most Valuable of All Guilt
waited Vegetables.

The beet beats all. 1t is one of the
most valued of cultivated plants, says
Chicago Tribune. The sugar beet is a
main source of sugar and alcohol. The
large forage beets supply an excellent
food for cattle, and the red garden va
rieties provide savory table vegetables
The usefulness of this valuable food has
now been increased by the production of
an edible -four from sugar beets. The
desiccatiQn of sliced sugar beets is prac-
ticed in Germany ON an extensive scale,
but the produce is employed exclusively
as fodder for cattle.
In Belgium a meal is made from dried
beets 1t is entirely free from the dis
tinctive favor of the beet, and is suitable
for cakes, pudding and pastry. AS it
contains about IS per cent. of sugar it
can often be substituted with advantage
for sugar IN somewhat larger quantities.
The processes of desiccation and grinding
not only cost less than the extraction of
sugar. but preserve all the sugar of the
beet part of which is rejected in the
form of molasses in the process of SUI,
gar making.

Some booming Towns.

If we are to take the growth of
cities and towns in the Dominion of
Canada represented by the provinces
of Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan
there is a wonderful future for some
of them. Winnipeg, the largest city,
in eight years has increased from AZ
600 to 100000,
Other places for the past eight years
show this expansion Calgary from
1900 to 29,300; Edmonton from $500
to $4,000; Regina from 1920 to 49,,
500; Branden from $500 to $4,000;
Saskatoon from 113 to 12.200. Moose
Jaw from 1900 to $4,000; Lethbridge
from 2,100 to 10000; Prince Albert
from 400 to 1000; Fernie from 800
to $500: Medicine Hat from 500 ia
5000.
In these places $47,c00.000 has been
invested in new buildings in the last
three years, and in five years their
taxable values have been increased
from an aggregate of nearly $4,000,

LIQUOR BILL FOR 1909.
Whisky Alone Cost Consumers Three
Hundred Million Dollars.

Whisky Alone Cost Consumers Three
Hundred Million Dollars.
During the fiscal year 1909, 116, $751;
90S gallons of spirits were distilled
from grain in the United States What
the value of this flood of liquor may
have been cannot positively be stated.
The output of the distilled malt and
vinous liquors and allied products in
the year 1905 was reported by the CEN
sus bureau to be worth more than
$4,000 900 In the year 1909 1891
1873 gallons of brandy, 61O,305 gallons
of rum, 2,497,070 gallons Of gin and
56,183,652 gallons of whisky were
placed on the market in the United
States. The total value of all these
products at the place of manufacture
was probably not less than S135, 000,-
600 But these figures in no way
measure the cost of distilled liquor to
the consumer, McClure's says. They
do not include the government inter
nal revenue tax or the cost of whole
sailing and retailing the goods" As
sold in the saloon" at 10 or Is cents
a drink" the cost of whisky, or what
passes for such among consumers. is
not less than $6 gallon This would
mean that the annual bill of the Amer
