Uncle Sans Sweet Tooth

, Do you know that you ate abou.
80 pounds of white refinod sugar last
year? Yes, that IL true, even though
your account does not balance that
way. Statistics that are above sus-
picion show that each one of the
80 millions of United States citizens
consumed 80 pounds of sugar in IL
months. asr
Our hotels, cafe", dining-cars and
steamships, or what is known as the
hotel trade, buy and use "a million
dollars worth of sugar every week.
And with all. the astute and search
ing Investigation being conducted to.
day in the interests of health. sanity
and posterity, mot voice is lifted in
protest against this wholesale con
sumption of sweets. Quite on Tao
contrary, noted and reliable medical
authorities come boldly forth and pro-
claim the gospel of sugar eating.
An important factor in the con-
sumption of sugar is the fact that its
use is limited only by the means of Sc
curing it. Countries and Individuals
eat according to their wealth. All
consume. as much sugar as they can
get hold Of. The English-speaking
people eat the most, as is shown BY
the extremely rapid increase of ratio
in the per capita consumption durins
recent years. In 1922 each indiv'0-
ual consumed trifie less than nine
pounds of sugar, while in. 1906 the
per capita of consumption amounted
to rs pounds, an increase of 81
pounds In "a yesrs.-From Physical

Spokane, has decided to hold an
defray the expenses. For the past
other apple show this fall. The bust
ness men have subscribed $35, 900 to
three years, Spokane has done honor
to the King of Fruits, and the shows
have always attracted large crowds.
Last year, however the display was
taken East. following the close in
Spokane. This venture did not prove
a success. The purposes of the Spo-
kane Apple show are worthy and
there is no doubt but that the compe-
tition will be more spirited this year
than ever before.

DO Dogs KNOW COLORS?
Here is an Instance of One Dog That
Does

Here is an Instance of One Dog That
Does
! Can dog tell a green from a red
light when displayed on switch
alongside the track of railroad and
can it learn the significance and i'm
portance of the green and red signals
as applied to railroading? H. w.
Sheridan, superintendent of the Sac
ramento division of the Southern
Pacific company, says that it can, and
Sheridan has mass Of evidence to
prove his assertion.
Sheridan secured his evidence re-
Gently while conducting an efficiency
test about 100 miles north of Sacra-
mento, Cal. With several assistants
he changed the light on one of the
switches from green to red, then he
waited to see If the crew of the next
train would observe the wrong light
and stop the rain before it reached
the signal.
The dog began to bark as soon as
the red light was shown in place of
the green. 1t ran around the signal
for several minutes and then to the
quarters of the section foreman,
half mile away. Shortly after the
foreman appeared with a lantern and
a shotgun, led by the dog. and Sheri-
dan and his assistants had difficult
time. in explaining the red light to
the satisfaction of both the dog and
its master.
These efficiency tests are conduced
throughout the year for the purpose
of keeping train and enginmen on the
alert. After crew has run over the
same line day after day without mis-
hap, they in common with other
mortals, are likely to become careless
and fail to observe danger signal
at critical moment Such an over
sight is fraught with danger that
makes one shudder to think of it
hundred lives might be snuffed out
in the twinkle of an eye-should q
train or enginman fail to observe a
signal To guard against such con-
tingency, the Southern Pacific COM
pany has FL efficiency tests, ranging
from the changing of the color OF the
signal lights and extinguishing lights
entirely to placing fuses and torpc-
does on the track. Failure to, OBJ
serve any OF these signals means most
severe discipline for the offender.

FR0ZE ON PIXIES PEAK IN aug
UST SNOWSTORM

Colorado Springs, Aug. CIV. A.
Skinner and wife of Dallas, Tex, were
frozen to death near the summit OF
Pixies peak this morning. Their
bodies, almost covered with snow,
were found side by side by boy
walking down the peak this after
noon.
| Skinner and his wife started to
walk to the top of the peak early
Yesterday afternoon, and stopped at
the Office of he Pixies Peak News,
about three miles above the halfway
house, to register. At that time Mrs.
Skinner, who was about SO years old,
doubted their ability to reach the top
OF the mountain. Mrs. Skinner, who
was about 10 years younger than her
husband, is reported to have made
the remark:
ohc was NTOW leAdS
I'm from Texas, aind they're not
going to say when get back that l
could notclimb Pixies Peak"
The couple were last seen about
l O'Clock by the crew of the down
ward bound cog train. At that time
Mr.. Skinner repeated his doubts to
some of he passengers, but Mrs. Skin
ner again insisted on trying to reach
the summit.
At about o'clock last night a Sc
we're snowstorm, which covered the
entire peak to depth of foot on the
level, accompanied by 50-mile per
hour wind, broke upon nhe peak.
From the position of the bodies when
found it is believed the couple sought
shelter in the lee of
huge boulder but short distance
from the track
Mr.. Skinner was found lying fiat
on his back with his hands folded on
his chest. His wife was in sitting
position, her head clasped in her
hands and bowed on her knees.
Wore Sheer Clothing ~
Mr.. Skinner was clothed I'm light
seersucker coat, summer weight trou-
sers, light underwear and low shoes.
He wore no vest. His wife was cloth
I'd in a thin shi"twaist, small shawl,
4 light skirt and thin underclothi
It Is underst cd that both the vic
inns of the storm are printers, en-
ployed on Dallas, Tex, paper.
Immediately upon the receipt of the
news President w. s. Hells Of the
g road sent up special train to
BRING the bodies down. Coroner
Jackson and She iff Birdsell accom-
,apied the train.
Found Prophetic Letter
A pathetic feature of the deaths is
he finding of letter in SINNERS
pocket, dated Dallas, August II, from
!. H. Choice, in which these words
,ccur: !;
II hope you having the time of
our life in Colorado. am sending
'ou an overcoat as per your request.
hope you don't freeze to death on

Experiences of western and north
western states during the last few
months demonstrate the need of APP
prop.iatiOns by the state legislatures
of sufficient funds for immigration
work and publicity for every state
which has somethoing to offer the
men and women of this country in
the way of home building or indust-
rial opportunities.
In the last two or three years it has
been demonstrated that taking ex-
hibits of the products of our soils,
mines, forests, lakes, rivers and fac
tories into the eastern country and
showing them to thousands of people,
is most effective means of state adj
vertising and, has resulted in bring
ing thousands of people into the west.
A movement was STARTED some
time ago to hold big land products
exhibits or land shows" as they are
called in the ,yateways to the west and
northwest. That these shows are a
big advertisement for the states and
communities interested there Is no
doubt.
Recently the lack of funds in seven
northwestern states resulted in the
business interests of St. Paul, Mime
apolis and Duluth putting up suffici-
emit, money to buy space in land
show to be given in St. Paul, and
giving the space to the. states.'
Sounds funny that Minnesota cities
should put up money to buy space
for this great state. But their own
state Of Minnesota, rich beyond COM
parison, has no money with which its
commissioner can buy
space at land shows or other legiti-
mate expositions where the state will
gain in population and wealth by a
showing Of its products. But the
same condition which exists in Mime
sofa exists in almost every north
western state.
Money exploited in advertising
state is for the benefit of the property
owners-the tax payers. In Mime
sofa the last year about 10000 people
have been brought in, according to
Governor Eberhart, as result of land
show and soil pexhibits. The average
wealth brought in is at least $1,000
per capita.
California is spending $4,000 pc:
county for advertising; Kansas spends
$4,000 per annum; Governor Had
ley of Missouri writes that the legis-
lature there appropriated $500
but the money was mot available for
the firts years work, SO the banks
Of Kansas City and St. Louis realiz-
Ing the Importance Of the work, sub.
scribed thqe SIS 900 that the work
might start; wyoming has $4,000
per annum to spend for the next two
Years; Nebraska, which has little to
advertise, is talking $4,000 per an
mum and Iowa is putting ON a cam
pahgn to secure 100000 per annum
to tell the truth about the resources
Of the state and keep people from
leaving it. +
With these facts before us, it would
seem our state, with all the things it
has to advertise, should have fund
which would enable us to participate ,
in teh enterprises which are increas-
Ing our population and wealth, and
in them without passing
the hat to individuals and corpora
