Under the direction of these skilled
business men a clever campaign Is
being waged to bring about the adop-
tion OF Tree sugar. They are convinced
that the sudden removal Of the customs
duty at the present time before the do
nestle production OF sugar Ia firmly es-
tablished will destroy both the beet and
cane industry and leave them In undfs-
puted control. During the recent hear
ings of the Senate Finance Committee
OH the free sugar bill now pending In
Congress scores of farmers from beet
growing States, planters from louisiana.
beet sugar manufacturers and cane mill
men appeared before the committee pro-
testing that they would be ruined by
the adoption OF the bill. Representatives
of the island possessions Of the United
SHAKESPEARE Rico. Hawaii, and the
Philippines-pointed out that insular
prosperity was based upon this one in
dustry which would be destroyed by the
proposed action. The only man who ap-
peared in favor OF the bill was an en-
ploye Of one of the refiners who was
forced to admit that he was conducting
costly campaign under the disguise OF
an alleged committee of wholesale
grocsrs'' which had no officers. paid no
dues, and had never had q meeting. In
a thousand devious waya, working upon
Congress and the pubic, the effort Is
being made to destroy the menace that
threatens TO fix the grip Of the refiners
upon the American public.
On the other hand. the farmers, the
planters, and the beet factory men are
trying to get their case before the peo-
PIE as the only effective check against
monopoly in the hands of the refiners
But they lack the organized machinery,
the association with powerful capital
istic influences and the financial re-
sources Of their opponents. Whether
Congress passes the free sugar bill or
not the struggle will go on until one
side is finally worsted. On Its outcome
hangs the control OF one of the greatest
Industrial stakes ever played for-of
which the two Jumps of sugar in the
morning cup of coffee is the apparently
insignificant symbol

SHOES OF EARLY ROMANS.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald
The boots of Roman Emperors were
enriched with pearls and diamonds. and

decorations. There were Roman women
who ornamented their low shoes with
pearls and embroideries. gold and amber.
There were many whose boot soles were
of massive gold
Pliny. speaking of his own time. says:
Our ladies are not content to adorn
their walking shoes alone with precious
stones and Jewels. but even the slippers
which they wear in their private apart
ments are decorated; precious stones
do not suffice: they must. to be in
fashion. tread on pearls and crowd their
feet with ornaments like kings" Julius
Caesar wore high boots worked In gold
and ornamsnted with pearls.
Heliogabalps who never wore a pair
of boots more than once. as he never
wore the same ring twice, had precious
which excited the laughter of the popu-
lace, because no one could see distinctly
the cunning work of famous artists. But
his mother, who presided over a senate
of women. forbade women TO wear shoes
adorned with precious stones. as she
prescribed the dresses that should be
worn; yet she was a woman of wildly
free life. in comparison with whom the
Empress Messalina was a timid prude.
Alcidbiades invented a boot that was
named after him and became a great
favorite. out We are not told whether II
were luxurlously foppish. Anglo-Saxon
princes and dignitaries OF the church
wore shoes set of with gold: Charlie

ONE HUNDRED YEARS. FIGHT
FOR HEALTH I'm THE DISTRICT
In 1919 Department
tory Department Up to the Present Time One of Most
Interesting Things in History Times

under the old act continued to serve until
February q, ISL, when Congress passed
an act consolidating the cities OF WASH
ington and Georgetown. The act pro-
vided for the appointment of Board
Of Health composed Of five members.
This administration of the Health De-
partment continued until June II. 1878.
when the act was approved providing for
a permanent form Of government for the
District. Under the act provision was
made for the present form Of administra-
ton of the Health Department-the ap-
pointment OF a health officer.
The present Health Department Is a
great factor in the work OF the munich
pality. 1t has many branches Of activ-
ity. There is the inspection service, I'M
der which caption come the sanitary
service and the smoke inspection work
Then there is the food-inspection service,
which embraces the dairy and dairy farm
work. There is also the contagious-dis-
ease service, under which comes the dis
infection service. A big clerical force Is
employed for the purpose OF indexing
and filing valuable information. Under
the department also comes the work of
the District Pound and the crematorium.
Death Rate Decreased.
The value of the service rendered the
city by the department cannot be ex-
pressed in figures. The death rate has
been decreased. infant mortality has
been lessened, disease has been mini
mzed, distances have been abated. the
city has been made beautiful and
healthy.
1t is interesting to note that since the
establishment of the department the av-
erage life of decedents has advanced per-
ceptibly. The white man OF to-day lives
twelve years four months and twenty
five days longer than the white man OF
1881. The colored man OF the present
lives ten years, one month and twenty
seven days longer than the, colored man
OF thirty-one years ago. The average age
Of white decedents in 1881 was thirty-two
years. one day. At present 1t is forty
four years, four months and twenty-six
days. In 1881 the average age Of colored
decedents was twenty years, eleven
months and six days. To-day IL Is thir-
ty-one years. one month and three days
An institution which. through its activi-
ties. can lengthen the life OF man is GER
tainly deserving OF much consideration.

The ancient boards were evidently
composed of alert men. 1t seems that no
matter of health or sanitation, however
trivial, escaped their attention. They
made a speciality of offensive odors, and
legislated freely in accordance with
their beliefs. In 1852 the members of the
board conspired against the innocent
Ailanthus, or Tree of Heaven, and
adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
board the Ailanthus. or Tree of Heaven.

Buttermilk.S

Buttermilk will prolong the human
life for many years. That assertion has
been proved by several of the leading
physicians of the world-Pasteur and
Mitchnekoff, Of Paris.
Inthe blood are little cells known as
leucocytes. Those cells are the scav-
engers Of the body, and in their con-
cave surfaces are able to grasp a germ
or a foreign body and force its elimin-
alton from the human system. The
leucocytes, figuratively speaking, are
the home defenders Of the body.
Under the microscope the home de-
tenders can be seen flowing along in
the blood streams. Suddenly they Will
stop as though they sensed some near
danger. Changing their shape to that
of a v, they will penetrate the blood
vessel wall and pick up stray germ,
probably typhoid or one Of the many
other varieties,
When a person wounds the skin
and the blood runs, the home defend
ers rush to the afflicted part and pro-
iect themselves to the surface Of the
abrasion, preventing the entrance Of
outside germ life, They give up their
lives to obtain their object, and the
hard little ridges felt on both sides Of
a slight wound are the leucocyte so
tightly impacted that their lifeless
bodies help form scar tissue.
AS years pass that commendable ac-
tion Of sacrificing themselves so the
human body may live ceases and the
little friends of the bod once known
as home defenders turn into a lawless
element, ravaging the body they once
defended.
Metchnikoff and Pasteur found that
buttermilk contained an element which
prevented the leucocytes from ravag-
ing the body Experiments proved
they would eat the buttermilk in pref
erence to the human tissues.

Want
to Cut Out
Holidays

That as many holidays as possible
be eliminated from the work Of the
public schools of the state will be in
cluded in a set of resolutions that will
be given the Polk county legislative
delegation by the school officials of
the county.
The officials heartily endorse the
supervisory law, and will urge upon
their delegation in the legislature to
fight the effort to repeal the law
which has been declared by the Ma
rion county delegation,
The resolutions were drafted by D.

], II. Brown and A, ], Shipley, The
recommendations have been reported
to the office of State Superintendent
Alderman They follow:
First-We heartily endorse the SUI
pervisory law, and desire its continu-
ance, as we believe that the country
districts should have the same advant-
ages enjoyed by the city districts, and
believe that the law should be made
stronger by the addition of one OF
more supervisors,
Since we understand an effort is tC
be made in the next Legislature tc
have the law repealed, we hereby in.
struct our representatives to use theii
best endeavor to preserve the law,
Second-We hereby instruct oul
representatives to use every honorable
means to have the many holidays elm
mated, as we believe the time woult
better be spent in actual school work
Third-We hereby endorse the eff
fort being made to introduce pTactica
agriculture into the public schools
and recommend that at least one bool
on that subject be taught in the sew
enth and eighth grades, supplemental
when possible, by actual demonstra
tions.
Fourth-We hereby commend th
county court, county and state super
intendents, supervisors, teachers, com
mercial clubs and others, who made
possible to carry our county schoo
fair to such a successful termination
and urge its continuance
Fifth-We heartily commend tn
