Sugar Consumntion.

The people of the United States
consume half their own weight in
sugar every year. This may seem a
startling statement, but if We take
the quantity OF sugar produced in the
United States and add to this the
quantity brought from our own is
lands and the quantity imported from
foreign countries, and subtract there
from the amount exported, we get a
grand total of considerably more than
seven billion pounds consumed in the
country; and by dividing the popula-
ton into this grand total, we get an
average Of 81 l-2 pounds per capita
speaking in round terms, for 1910.
and about like quantity for 1909. 1t
Is not assumed. of course, that each
person necessarily consumes sugar
equal to one-half his individual
weight; but taking the total consump-
ton and comparing 1t with the total
population in the section known as
continental United States. the average
yearly consumption Of sugar is found
to be about 81 1-2 pounds per capita.
In fact, the people of the United
States are larger consumers of sugar
per capita than those of any other
country in the world except England
for which the largest figures show
consumption averaging Sc pounds
per capita, against our own average
Of 81 10 pounds per capita. The next
largest per capita consumption is in
Denmark, II 34 pounds; followed BY
Switzerland. Ga pounds; Sweden, "a
pounds and Germany and Holland.
each about 4S IL pounds.
Not only is the United States tho
second largest sugar consumer par
capita, but the total amount consumed
annually is much greater than that
OF any other country, aggregating as
above indicated, more than ! bflIion
pounds per annum, against about 4
billion pounds in England and about
3 billion in Germany.
About one-half of the sugar CON
sumed in the United States is brought
from foreign countries. about one.
fourth from our own islands, and tho
remaining one-fourth produced in this
country. The total production Of
sugar in the United States now
amounts to 81 billion pounds
year, of which more than i billion |
pounds is beet sugar and about three.
quarters of billion cane sugar. 1t
is only recently that the production
Of beet sugar in the United States
has come to exceed that of cane
sugar. In 1900 domestic production
II cane sugar was twice as great as
hat of beet sugar, and 90 years ago

The following graphic description
of clarksburg, which appeared in a
Baltimore newspaper with an ac-
count of the Traders block fire and
which may be termed fairly good
"stagger' in all the word implies, is
respectfully referred to the adver-
Using department of the board OF
trade:
clarksburg is situated in the center
of the largest natural gas field in
the world and over one of the lars-
est coal deposits. Located in Har-
rison county, Of which 1t is the seat,
1t lies about 100 miles southeast OF
Wheeling, on branch Of the Baltl-
more and Ohio railroad. 1t has a
population OF about IL. 900.
1t is country rich in coal, oil
and natural gas, and has many man
ufactories OF iron, wooden goods,
decorated table ware, window glass,
tin plate and shaft pulleys. The
town has two hospitals and is the
seat OF the Broaddus Classical and
Scientific Institute.
Clarksburg is the birthplace Of
stonewall Jackson ana was settled
in 1772. In 1S49 it was incorporated
and is governed at the present time
under a charter of 1897, which pro-
vides a mayor, elected annually, and
city council chosen by wards.
clarksburg lies in bowl Of the
Appalachian mountains. Through
the center of the town runs a small
creek, known as Elk Creek. Al
bridge three blocks long spans the
creek, which runs through thickly
wooded valley.
Along Main street, the chief busi-
ness thoroughfare, is located num-
Der of large department stores, all!
Of which are six or more stories
high. Tho Goff building. erected Nv
Judge Con, sixteen stories high, is
on Maia street. near Second, and
next TO the court house.

Thoroughly gone into should the
question of ample protection against
fire be. Special investigation and
consideration should be made. Elk
pert examination and recommends
ton may be necessary. By all
means take the step at once. The
burden should be to have ample and
most modern equipment with posi-
bly, greater number of regular FIRE
fighters. A steamer has been adj
yised. Certainly there should be
more hose and 1t would be well to
have more than central station.
There are many details to be gone
into and now is the time TO begin.

old MuIlsl, Trick

Democrats are not as sincere as
they thouhgt they were on the
question Of eleot.ng United States
senators by a direct vote of the peo-
pie. Al a time when such meas.
ure has its best chance, southern
senators appear on the scene with
the proverbially muliah trick.
They propose to kill the measure
in the federal senate by voting
against its passage, if an amend
ment is attached giving the federal
government certain control over
the election of senators similar to
what it has over the election OF
representatives..
Why make such distinction?
The plan Of electing representa-
tiYes has been held up as ideal and
why not have the plan Of elccting
senator's Just as ideal?
The truth appears to he that it
was only another case of buster
and blum on the part OF the SDemo-
cratic party.
