Sugar Consumption in v. S.

The people Of the United States
consume half their own weight in
sugar every year. This may seem
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 islands
and the quantity imported from for
eign countries, and subtract there
from the amount exported, we get
grand total Of considerably more than
Il billion pounds consumed in the
country; and by dividing the popu-
lation in this grand total, we get an
average Of Sl3 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 consumption and
! comparing it with the total popula-
tion in the section known as continen-
tai United States, the average yearly
consumption Of sugar is found to be
about 81 pounds per capita.
In fact, the people of the United
States are larger consumers of sugar
per capita than those Of any other
country of the world except England,
j for which the latest figures show a
consumption averaging S6 pounds per
capita, against our own average Of
! 81 pounds per capita The next
largest per capita consumption is in
Denmark, 77f pounds; followed by
Switzerland, GA pounds; Sweden, "a
pounds; and Germany and Holland,
each about ABB pounds
Not only is the United States the
second largest sugar soasamer pei
capita, but the total lanai consumed
! annually is much 8se lan that
of any other coun =, a.ssregating
as above indicated, efe than bill
lion pounds per annun. against about
billion pounds in Ens and ane
about 3 billion pounds in Germany.
: About one-half the sugar consumed
in the United States is brought from
foreign countries, about one-fourtl
, from our own islands, and the remain
ing one-fourth produced in this eoun
, try. The total production OF suga
in the United States now amounts t,
: Il billion pounds year, Of whicl
more than | billion pounds is bee
/ sugar and about three-quarters of
| billion cane sugar. 1t is only recent
t ly that the production OF beet suga
in the United States has come to ex
ceed that of cane sugar. In 190'
/ domestic production of cane sugar wa
: twice as great as that of beet sugar
l and 20 years ago was more than 6
g times as great; but the growth of bee
s sugar production has been very rapi
8 in recent years, and in 1907, for til
J. first time, exceeded in quantity tina
/ produced from cane and has so cor
/, tinued since that time.

Meeting Place.

The annual meeting of the various
locals of the Farmers Union of Idaho
county was held at Ferdinand last
Saturday and most interesting time
had On account of the President of
the county organization, Senator J. l..
Eckert, being at Boise and the vice
president, George j. Sea being on
visit to the East, the meeting was
called to order by r. w Overman of
Grangeville.
An organization of the meeting re-
suited in the calling to. the chair of
Peter Aschenbrenner of the Ferdinand
local who acted as presiding officer
during the meeting.
A number of resolutions were passed
by the convention, the object being to
further the interests of the farmer and
the people at large. The convention
went on record as favoring noxious
weed law, a trespass law, amendments
to the present grain laws, direct legis-
lation, law having for its object the
curbing of the dangerous and reckless
auto driver, the election Of senators by
direct vote Of the people. Other
measures endorsed were, the parcel
post and the Scott bill prohibiting
in futures.
Some exceedingly meaty and bene-
fetal talks were made on warehouse
managements and the marketing Of
grain by John Foresman, Geo. Down
er, r. w. Overman, VIM. Courier,
j. II. VonRargen, A. Hinkleman and
others.

various warehouses operated by the
Union in this county was made and

the growth Of the Union in this county

The following officers were selected
for the coming year:

RANDALL AND LEWIS LATEST
Senator ECkert Introduces
Randall County Bill.

was introduced in the house today
creating Lewis county out of the
southern portion Of Nez Perce,
with Nez Perce City as the county-seat
1t seems altogether likely that this
measure will be defeated, in view of
the apparent determination to pass
the Clearwater bill, which takes a
considerable slice Of Nez Perce county.
Representatives Johnson and Soren-
son are its authors.
The third county bill appeared this
morning in the senate being introduced
by Senator J. l.. Eckert of Idaho
county, which asks for the creation Of
Randall county out of Idaho county,
with Cottonwood as temporary county
seat.
This measure provides that Randall
county shall be taken out Of the
northern and western part Of Idaho
county and form part Of the second
judicial district. After passage Of the
bill authority is given to call a special
election and name permanent county
seat, while the assessor is authorized
to assess property valuations in the
new county and report to the county
commissioners. The bill will be
fought to finish.
A. S. Hardy, chairman Of the re-
publican county committee, and others
of Idaho county, are in the city to op-
pose division.
at is true Mr.. Hardy said today,
''that Idaho county contains 1000
square miles, but it must not be over
looked that most of this is in forest
reserves. Of the 100000 acres in
the county, upward Of 5000, 900 are
in forest reserves. This yields very
little revenue, and yet it is an expense
to the county in the way Of policing.
at would be unfair to cut the best
part OF our county to make new
county and throw the whole burden
of this vast territory on what is left
If it is hard to reach Grangeville from
this vast territory now, it would be
no less difficult after the new county
was created.
"A large majority of the citizens o.
the county are opposed to division.
Hungry citizens Of J4atah county
are casting ravenous eyes in the di
rection Of a rich section of Nez Perct
county. Under the lead Of the Com
mercial club of Moscow they are peti
tioning the legislature to cut a liberia

BABY'S ECZEMA AND BOILS

my son was about three weeks old
when I noticed a breaking-out on his
cheeks. from which a watery sub
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also, and in a few days became a solid
scab. I became alarmed, and called
our family physician who at once pro-
nounced the disease eczema. The lit
tie fellow was under treatment for
about three months. BY the end Of
that time, he seemed no better. l be-
came discouraged. l dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use Of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in q few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven months
old, all trace Of the eczema was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out In
boils which l cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During
the time Of teething and from the time
l dropped the doctors treatment, I
used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment, nothing else. and when two
years old he was the picture of health.
His complexion was soft and beauti-
full, and his head a mass Of silky curls.
/ had been afraid that he would never
be well, and feel that I owe a great
deal to the Cuticura Remedies"

AprCpos of woman's inability to

William H. Brewer Of Yale was wont
to tell an incident which occurred In
California several years ago.
The wonder Of the immense dimen-
sions Of the redwood trees always ap-
peaied to him. and he was ever de.
lighted to show these forest giants
to his friends, The trees do not look
20 enormous when one Is riding
among them. and Mrs, K. was not
properly awed by their stupendous
proportions.

they are not so very large. after

behind him Mr.. e.. whose horses tail

means that the diameter Of this tree
Is the length Of four horses stand

Mrs. x. turned in her saddle and
viewed the trees and the horses. For
several seconds she said nothing;
then her face lighted up. and she
smiled at him as she exclaimed:

the cows maintained their initial
weight or gained only a little. The
rations as fed were sufficient to sup
ply the nutrients required to produce
a good flow Of milk, and at the same
time maintain the body weight.
Its climatic soil conditions are so
favorable that Florida will doubtless
be a great dairy state In the future.
The demand for dairy products Is
growing more rapidly than the sup.
ply. On January /, 1910, Florida was
credited with IS, 1000 head of milk
lows. This is about one COW for ev-
cry six people. If we had four times
this number Of cows the supply of
dairy products would not exceed the
demand. Florida farmers can readily
supply enough feed for all the cows
needed to supply the entire demand
Of the state for dairy products. The
only drawback seems to be the lack
of a sufficient number of good dairy
animals. Florida is not the only state
that is lacking in a sufficient number
Of good dairy cows and nearly all the
farmers in the dairy section are look
ing for more good cows. The only So
luton of our problem is for the far
