The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1911-11-03

A man who has made a happy
home for his wife and children,
no matter what he has not done in
the way of achieving wealth and
honor; if he has done that he is a
grand success says an exchange.
If he has not done that. and it is
his fault, though he be the high
est in the land, hes a most pitiable
failure. We wonder how many men
in a mad pursuit Of gold, which
characterizes the age realize that
there is no fortune which can be
left to their families as great as
the memory of a happy home.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the pure
food" man, says a nation must be
Judged by its treatment of soap,
sugar and women. If it uses more
soap, consumes more sugar and
treats it women better than any
other nation then it stands at the
top of the list for civilization. He
believes that on such a test the
United States is far ahead of all
rivals.

SACCHARIN BARRED.
Government Forbids It's Use-Said te
Disturb Digestion.

Government Forbids It's Use-said to
Disturb Digestion.
All persons having a desire for
something sweet must find other
means Of satisfying the craving than
saccharin. That popular substitute
for sugar will be forbidden after July
/. The fiat Of the agricultural de-
partment prohibiting the use Of sac
charm in any food product has gone
forth.
Saccharin TECHNICALLY is a product of
coal tar. It is used as a substitute
for sugar and is 300 per cent sweeter
than sugar. The objection to saccha-
rim is that it is a disturber of diges-
ton.
The decision is of the most sweep.
ing nature. 1t directly affects more
than thirty different classes of food,
Including soft drinks, sweet pickles,
jellies, jams and also some makes OF
beer.
The referee board Of consulting sci.
entifc experts in it's report says:
1.-THE continued use of saccharin for
a long time in quantities oyer three
tenths Of a grain per day is liable to
impair digestion. The addition OF
saccharin as a substitute for cane
sugar or other forms of sugar reduces
the food value of the sweetened prod
uct and hence lowers its quality"

In a vault at the headquarters of a

Trade quotations give the present

Of uncommonly high quality. It was
picked up by the crews Of the bark
Bertha, Captain Ben Vera, and the
brig Viola, Captain John A. Cook. who
found it while whaling off the coast
Of Africa in December.
The crews of the Bertha and Viola
were pursuing sperm whales when
the lookouts sighted several spouting

He was sluggish, and it happened that
the harpoons which simultaneously
pierced his sides came from small
boats from both ships. That's why
the crews are dividing the. spells.
The laggard yielded only fifteen bar.

whalers was dispelled by the huge
