SUGAR IS STILL SUGAR
At Price OF CANDY
Prices Here Are Still Soaring
Some

If the signs do not fail, and those
best posted feel that there IS small
chance of that, then the Americas
housewife, who has been registering
sundry and strenuous kicks with the
groceryman of late over the way the
price of sugar has been mounting sky
ward, had better take another brace
and prepare for the worst.
In the last month, raw sugar has dis
played an unusual activity With the
natural result that both the jobber3
and retailers price has made a steady
advance. The last thirty days have
shown a rise in the price of sugar that
has been unprecedented in the last
ten years.
Tuesday raw sugar scared nearly
twenty points during the course of the
day, thus forcing the price of the refin-
ed article up to six and three-quarter
cents per pound, rise of practically
cent in the past month,
This puts the retail article at about
seven cents or better, according 10
whether the grocer is selling from MS
reserve stock or from stock bought in
the open market.
Go higher? Well, yes" said a mer-
chant who deals largely in sugar when
questioned as to the Probabilities OF
furthed adva&ce. Il think that it will
continue to rise for a time yet. As
far as l can see there is every chance
that the jobber will have to pay seven
or seven and a quarter cents pei
pound before things begin to slide bach
again.
But even if the price does go higher
there is consolation in the good ole
adage that whatever goes up must
come down. 1t will come down agar
before long"

and with utter disregard of danger
Although | knew little of where we

blocked the way.

EVER TAKE A MUSIC BATH7
They Are as Good for the Soul,
Holmes Says, az Water for
the Body.

One must be educated, no doubt, to
understand the more complex and dif-
ficult kinds of musical composition.
Go to the concerts where you know
that the music is good. and that you
ought to like it whether you do or not.
Take music bath once or twice
week for a few seasons, and you will
hnd that 1t is to the soul what the
water bath Is to the body. wouldn't
trouble myself about the atfecta'
tions Of people who go to this
or that series of concerts chiefly
because It is fashionable. Some
Of these people whom we think
so silly will perhaps find, sooner
or later, that they have dormant
faculty which is at last waking up.
and that they who came because 9TH
ers came. and began by staring at the
audience, are listening with newly

Disaster Repeated.

A notable salvage feat was accom-
plished at Queenstown harbor the 9th
er day when the huge Cunsrd liner
Ivernia, which struck on submerged
reef at Daunt's Rock, Queenstown.
was rehoated. The Tvernia is $4,000
ton ship, 532 feet long. and her sal
wage was no easy matter After she
was beached in the harbor many OF
her compartments were flooded. and
at high tide there were six feet Of
water on her deck forward. J The
weight of the great ship carried her
down into the sand until some Of the
torn plating was buried. While the
divers were working on the Ivernis
they found some timbers Of a ship
embedded In the damaged plating. The
Ivernia must have struck the rocks
at point where some wooden YES.
sci was wrecked years ago.
