SUGAR WILL STILL SOAR
Spreckles Says the Trust Not at Fault

New York, Sept. 21.-According to
Claus Spreckles, who's Federal Sugar
Refining company, located at Yonk-
res, is the biggest and most agrees
sive competitor of the sugar trust,
the present high prices of sugar prob
ably will be advanced still further
before they come down again.
II don't think can be accused of
partially to the trust or of desire
to defend it anyway" he said today,
when l declare that the concern Is
not responsible for the greatly in
creased cost of sugar. AS a matter
of fact, we are now selling all we
can make at half a cent pound
higher than the price that is being
quoted by the sugar trust.
''The cause of the present high
prices" Mr.. Spreckles went on, lis
mainly in the certainty of shortage
of more than a million tons in the
sugar beet crop of Europe. European
refiners are securing the world in
search of raw sugar. Last years
cane crop in Cuba was short about
100000 tons. This has accelerated
the upward movement of prices for
refined sugar. The rise in price has
been going on since the middle OF
July. Sugar is now more than two
cents pound above the July price.
The movement upward probably will
continue for a few weeks longer, or
until this years bountiful beet har-
vest of the west begins to be market
ed. The Louisiana cane crop also
promises WE'LL"

TREATING GRAIN FOR SMUT

Prominent men of the Inland en-
pire are at this time endeavoring to
formulate some plan whereby a con-
certed effort may be put forth that
will reduce the effect of smut to a
minimum. 4
Farmers are anxious to grow clean
grain, and are much interested about
securing a formula that Is effective.
The crop this year throughout the
Inland empire was badly affected
with smut, more so than usual. The
following formula has been in use
for the last six years on the College
farm:
Into 10 gallons of water pour "
pound of formaldehyde, and 1 pound
of copper sulphate Commonly known
as blue-stone or blue-vitrioD -. The
copper sulphate should be thoroughly
dissolved in a small quantity of warm
water before adding to the solution.
All of the formulas and methods of
treating that have ever come to our
attention have been tried. Copper
sulphate alone, and formaldehyde
alone have been tried, either of which
is good. We have tried them at diff
ferent strength of solution. leaving
the grain in the solution from min
utes to Is hours, the length of time
depending upon the strength of the
solution. The 3-minute treatment
with the stronger solution Il pound
Of formaldehyde to 40 gallons of wa

proved to be the best Of these treat

How to Have Fresh Rhubarb During
the Winter Months ~

Fresh rhuberb can be easily raised
during the winter after the season
outdoors is over. All that is requis-
lite in the way of room is warm
cellar or, basement, AS soon as the
late fall arrives, dig up the roots,
allowing as much dirt to adhere as
possible, and pile them up on. the
north side of some building to pre-
vent alternate freezing and thawing.
When winter arrives bring the roots
into the cellar and plant them out
close together in shallow bins or
boxes with little soil between them.
The soil should not be kept wet, but
simply moist and mellow in order to
allow a good circulation of air
around the roots.
Shoots grown in this manner are
remarkably tender and of an excel
lent flavor. In order to obtain sup
ply over long period they should
be set out about every two weeks.
At the end of month the roots ere
usually exhausted. Roots forced in
this manner are worthless for plant
ing out again In the spring.

RECIPROCITY is GIVEN ITS
DEATH BLOW BY THE
CANADIANS

Montreal, Can, Sept. 22.-Canada
awakened today confronted by a
startling new situation, developed
from the, fact that reciprocity with
the United States has been rejected
that the Laurier government has
been defeated and that r. l.. Borden
will shortly be called on to form a
Conservative ministry. Out of nine
Canadian provinces, only Quebec,
Laurier's native place, came any
where near remaining faithful to
him, and Quebec did not do any too
well. Ontario, greatest of the pro-
vinces, dealt Laurier a terrible blow,
going almost solidly against him and
the same may be sail of Manitoba
and British Columbia. The magni-
tude of the landslide appears to have
stunned the Liberals who have held
Office for Is consecutive years and
who firmly believed that they were
destined to remain in power for
many years to come.
The total Liberal vote was "a. The
Conservatives carried 1873 provinces,
which means a clear majority of 40.
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the two
great wheat raising provinces, gave
mild support to the cause of recip-
rocity.

rs TYPHOID "A FALL DISEASE?
FEW ;SIAIPIE HEALTH
PRECAUTIONS

The fall season is generally mark
ed by an incr ease In the number Of
cases Of typhoid fever. This is par
ticularly true OF the rural districts
where there are no special laws or
regulations protecting the water sup
ply for the community. The germa
OF typhoid fever are not particularly
more prevalent during these months
but the opportunities for transmit
ting them from individual to indiv-
idual seem to be greater. When the
fall rains begin there is greater
chance for the infectious agent,
namely the typhoid germ, to be wash
ed from the waste repositories
through the assures in the soil to
the water supply. Also during the
cool weather of early fall flies siren
uously seek shelter and the house, II
unprotected, will be literally swarm
ing with them each night. During
the daytime they are visiting various
places where they may obtain their
food, and many times become con-
taminated with various kinds of dis
ease producing bacteria. At night
they come back into the house and
infect the food substances prepared
for the family use.
The watersupply, being easily con-
taminated by underground currents
coming through soil impregnated
with waste material, cannot be too
closely guarded at this season of the
year. Because the water looks clear,
and is cold and sparkling, there Is
no assurance that it does not contain
agents of deadly nature. Enough
germs of typhoid fever could be pre-
sent to cause grave trouble and yet,
without having technical analysis
made of it, a person could not de-
tect them. The only safe way is to
be assured that the water does not
contain any surface or drainage
where there could be any question
of contamination. If it is impossible
to- be assured on these grounds,
simple process of publication can be
used in the home. Practically all Of
the disease producing bacteria, in
Guiding typhoid, are killed at a mod
erately low degree of temperature. A
boiling temperature will destroy
them almost momentarily and there
is NO excuse for water to become
dangerous SO long as the housewife
has in her hands such simple and
effective means of protection. The
boiling Of the water may slightly
change its palatability, but If it is
allowed to cool in two-thirds full
bottles and the bottles are shaken
vigorously II will regain its flavor.
At any rate the safety Of the health
should take precedence over any
small item like lack OF palatability.
Recognizing, therefore, that ty-
phoid may be more prevalent during
this season Of the year, each individ-
nal ought to pay particular attention

The hot water treatment is very eff
fective and when on test gave better
results than any of the methods of
single treatments, but 1t is too tedious
and requires too much time to be
practical when formula is available
that will give equal or better results,
| and is easier to apply.
On the College farm, formaldehyde
kand copper sulphate In the proper
tions as above described have never
failed to entirely prevent smut The
method of application is important.
If a good floor free from slivers is
not available for use, canvass can
be spread upon smooth surface and
made secure at the corners by nails
or stakes to hold the surface of the
canvass smooth. Pour the grain to
be treated upon the canvass. Apply
the solution to the grain with an or
binary hand sprinkler. Scoop the
grain continuously while sprinkling
till it is thoroughly wet. 1t is not
NECESSARY for the solution to run
from the grain in quantity, but great
care should be exercised that the
grain is thoroughly wet. The amount
to be treated at one operation can be
governed according to the shoveling
space. Small quantities will insure
a thorough treatment. Thoroughness
is one of the secrets of success in
treating grain for smut. Sack the
grain Immediately after treating
(about bushel to the sack) and lay
it out to dry, always avoid piling it
up.
Never depend upon a solution that
has stood far some time, and never
try to strengthen an old solution by
adding more formaldehyde, as the eff
feet may prove very serious. Always
mix about the amount of solution
necessary for the present need.
Grain should be treated as needed,
and sOwn at time when immediate
termination will result, as formalde-
hyde is not effective if the grain is
sown into dry ground and lies there
some time before termination.
The mixing of the solution must
be done with the utmost care, as an
excess of the constituents, especially
formaldehyde, will dstroy germina-
ton.
At first thought it would appear
that to sprinkle in this manner would
be tedious, but it is the quickest and
easiest way 70 treat grain The grain
ON the College farm was affected with
smut this season. The formula and
method described was not used at
seeding time last fall. A shorter and
easier method was tried, but was
found to be more tedious, and from
present indications was not at all eff
fective. PREM MOORE,

The Unitarian church always has
been active in forwarding domestic
missionary work, even outside of its
own denomination Poor struggling
churches and clergymen in needy sec
tions have always received Unitarian
aid irrespective of creed Unitarianism
did not until recently take much ac-
tive interest in foreign missions be-
cause OF its dislike OF q PROSECUTING
spirit and It's intense love of liberty.
It's freedom from sectarian feeling
made it as a body Indifferent to the
propagations of its own faith in other
countries so long as Christianity was
given to the heather. Unitarians have
contributed literally as individuals TO
the missionary work Of other churches.
They sent a missionary to India how
ever in 1855. His work resulted in the
foundation of the Calcutta school Of
industrial art, the Hindoo girls school
and another school for street waits.
Its Work In Japan
In 1884 a missionary movement was
undertaken by the Unitarians in Japan
In 1894 the Unity hall of Yuiitsukwan
was built which served as the head
quarters for the work of the Japanese
Unitarians, including lectures, social
and religious meetings. A magazine
called The Unity was also establish
ed in Toxic in 1891 but in 1897 this
was merged into a popular religious
monthly called the Rikugo Zasshi. Uni
tarianism is especially strong in Japan
and no other denomination is more
active in advancing the religious
growth of that country and in forward
ing the progress Of japanese. educa-
ton.
Education in America owes much to
Unitarianism. During its early history
Harvard university was Unitarian. al
though it became broadly non-sectar-
ian later on. When thu divinity school
was organized in 1873 with an endow-
ment of $4,000 raised by the Uni
tarians, it was with the distinct pro-
viso that this school should be abso-
IuteIy non-sectarian and this has been
rigidly adhered to. The work of Hor-
ace Mann in the educational develop
ment of Boston was largely aided by
the Unitarian church, as was also that
of Elizabeth Peabody. che FOUNDER OF
the Kindergarten work in America
The Young Mems Christian union,
the Chiid's Saving mission. the Women
alliance, the education of the blind and
defective. and the work for the poor
are only a few of the benevOlenceS that
the Unitarian association has under its
control. The Women's alliance has de-
veloped a branch of work known as
the Cheerful Letter and Postofflce mis-
sion, which is as unique as it IS com
mendable. Its chief object is to cheer
the lonely and discouraged, fnvallds
