Of mandarin of the ninth, or lowest
rank, continuing the while at his

Above that rank he may become an
oficial, but is allowed only the salary
that he may earn at his trade.
As q matter of fact the mandarins
generally enrich themselves from the
fees which they exact from suitcrss
but In accordance with the doctrine q

are supposed to make the bringing OF
lawsuits as uninviting a. possible
Kang-hi said:
1T is well that all men should have
q wholesome fear of the tribunals. I
desire that all having recourse to the
magistrates may be treated merciless-
ly, SO that all may dread to appear be-

FOODS WHICH CONTAIN SUGAR
Vegetables, Grains and Fruits Yield
the Sugars We Eat-Must Be
Well Cooked.

Fruits, grains and vegetables con-
tain the sugars we eat.
Fruit sugars are directly absorbed
into the system without previous prep
aration by the digestive juices OF the
lntestines. and are almost the only
food eaten by man Of which this can
be said. The sugars found In cane
beets and the maple tree must under
go the digestive process before they
can be absorbed by the body.
Grains contain the sugar in the
form of starch. This sugar can only
be developed by thorough cooking or
partially digesting starch. which 10

thoroughly cooked the granules burst

The starches, we have found. are
the most abundant Of all food ele-
ments and are largely contained IN
seeds and plants. All of our cereals,
breakfast foods. breads, legumes. ETC.,
are about three-quarters starch, there
fore we can realize how important #
is to cook them well. A form OF
sugar called "dextrine" rs developed
in well cooked or partially digested
starch, and scientists tell US there are
twenty-five changes in dextrine be
tween raw starch and digested or fruit
sugar.
The sugar. in vegetables appears
also in the form of starch. in small
quantities compared to that found IN
cereals. Most of them are made more
digestible by cooking.
The exception is green corn. whicr
contains almost twenty per cent. o.
sugar in the place of starch. ane
therefore should be cooked a very
short time.

A company of gendarmes, very badly

The horses are embarrassed and led
