Question Of Infection.

To the law and the testimony respecting
his question Of infection or contagion, be-
ore we go further:
Says a learned photographer: A dis
hnction between infection and contagion is
Sdopted by some writers upon the subject,
contagion being limited to the transmits
sion Of q disease by actual contact Of the
diseased part with healthy absorbent,
or any sbraded surface, and infection to
transmission through the atmosphere Of
floating germs or missmata. There are in
stances Of transmission which fall under
both Of these divisions"
Contagion and infection meet when the
lips Of the diseased person cling to those

when a feverish woman, sickening for

Let me Illustrate: A woman Of 90 had
been up an night In the house Of q relative
whose husband had died at daybreak. Ar
rangements for the last sad ofices must
be made, and the elderly friend drove about
town for several hours attending to these.
Returning. sad and weary, she was met IN
the vestibuls by young woman calling to
make inquiries as to the sick man.
Seeing the Grape upon the door she burst
into tears and threw her arms about the

PLEASE DON'T KISS THE BABY.
So far was she in advance Of the spirit Of
the times that the warning brought down
upon the nurse such ridicule and tsunt-
ing remarks that she took the child home
before the airing was over. with the fearful
protest against what made her fair
ashamed to be seen by her acquentenees-
She loved the baby. and she had no faults

Writers upon sanitation are explicit in
condemnation Of the practice OF promis-
cuous kissing. They point out the fact,
which is familiar to US all, that disease Is
more readily conveyed into the system by
inhalation Of the breath Of the invalid than
by any other method, except. perhaps,
by inOeulation.

Concerning Beet Sugar.

NOHCCINAutB OCCG SuBWs
81 have noticed in the Corner an article
by A Kansas Cook complaining with re-
gard to cake falling, sttributing this to the
use OF beet sugar. one whose ounce Jelly

and note your inquiry for information re-
garding beet sugar.
About II per cent Of the sugar consumed
in this country is beet sugar produced here,
or say one and quarter billion pounds. the
production OF which Is mcreasInBrapidIy
About 50 per cent Of the sugar produced in
the world is beet sugar, most Of 1t in France,
Germany, Austria, and Russia, and as no
cane sugars are brought into those coun-
tries, K Is obvious that cakes and jams,
jeIlies and preserves, are not ruined by the
use OF beet sugar. Beet sugar factories
are located in seventeen OF the central and
far western states in this country, and In
considerable Of this territory, during the
season OF production. 20 per cent to 90 per
cent OF the granulated sugar consumed is
beet sugar. 1t is a mistaken idea that IL is
not as sweet as cane granulated, as the two
are identicaIly the same, both analyzing
over 99E per cent sucrose, or pure sugar,
the balance OF less than quarter Of per
cent being moisture or other matters i'm
possible OF elimination. Both are of exactly
the same appearance. Neither consumers,
sugar experts, or chemists can distinguish
between the two. tits used by manufsctur-
