TRUTH IN THIS

In days of health people generally
have very little to say to doctors.
Their company is seldom sought and
they are dismissed with the advice
either that their services are not
needed or that they had better take
their own physic. They are told to
own up their mistakes or bury them
in the grave. But when We become
sick and the black clouds hover over
us, when pain racks and fevers
parch, when We hear the rustic OF
the wings of Death and feel that
Eternity stares us in the iace, We
summon these same men of pills and
notions to our bedside, We ask for
their help, pray for their presence
and put trust and confidence in their
power to prolong life. restore health.
and bring back happiness to our
homes and firesides.-Exch.

state room.
The committee recommends that
every ocean steamship carrying lVV
or more passengers be required to
carry two electric searchlights for
ravlga ,lonal purposes.
The committee finds that this ca
tastrophe makes glaringly apparent
the necessity for regulation of ra-
autobiography. There must be an
operator on duty at all times, day
and night, to insure the immediate
, receipt of all distress, warning, or
other important calls. Direct COM
rlunication either by clear-speaking
telephone, voice tube. or messenger
! must be provided between the wire
less room and the bridge, SO that the
operator does not have to leave his
station There must be definite leg
islation to regulate interference by
amateurs, and to secure secrecy of
radiograms or wireless messages.
There must be some source of aux
Hilary power, either storage battery
OF oil engine, to insure the opera
tion of the wireless installation un-
til the wireless room is submerged.
The committee recommends the
early passage of S. bill 6,412. re-
ported April 10. 1912.
The committee recommends that
the following additional structural.
requirements be required as regards
0cean-g going passenger steamers, the
construction of which is begun after
this date:
All steel ocean and coastwise sea-
going ships carrying 100 or more
passengers should have a water
tight skin inboard OF the outsid :
plating. extending not less than 10
per cent of the load draft above the
full-lOad waterline, either in the
form of an inner bottom or of longi-
tudina water tight bulkheads, and
this provision should extend from
the forward collision bulkhead over
not less than two-thirds of the
length of the ship.
All steel ocean and cOastwise sea-
going ships carrying 100 or more
passengers should have bulkheads 20
spaced that any two adjacent COM
rartments of the ship may be flooded
without destroying the reliability or
stability of the ship. Water-tigh;
transverse bulkheads should extend
from side to side of the ship, attach
ing to the outside shell. The trans.
verse bulkheads forward and abaft
the machinery spaces should be con-
tinued water-tight vertically to the
uppermost continuous structural
deck. The uppermost continuous
structural deck should be fitted wa
ter-tight. Bulkheads within the
limits OF the machinery spaces
should extend not less than % per
cent OF the draft of the ship above
the load waterline and should end
at water-tight deck. All water
tight bulkheads and decks should be
proportioned TO withstand. without
material permanent DETECTION, a wa
ter pressure equal to five feet more
than the full height of the bulk
head. Bulkheads of novel dimen-
SONS or scanilings should be tested
10y being subjected to actual water
pressure. Respectfully submitted.

It is regarded here as a purely eco

the retail price Of high-grade sugar
can be materially reduced 1t Is now
amazingly small. Testimony has
been furnished showing that the profit
gained by the refiners upon each
pound Is only fraction Of a cent. And
the aggregate profits are due wholly
to the enormous sale Of sugar in the

AMERICANS HAVE SWEET TOOTH,

STUDY OF statistics, or the eX-
n animation Of the tariff sched-
ues sometimes proves very In
teresting. For instance while every
American knows sugar, or thinks he
does, the extent Of his knowledge, as
n general thing, would be forced to
be limited to the fact that It Is sweet,
and Is made in the South out OF cane.
This latter ls far from being true Let
us see what the statistics show, and
see II we do not learn something
about sugar,
In the first place It may be stated
that the United States uses about
one-flfth Of all the sugar made in the
world, or about 100000 tons annual
". As our population Is nearly 1907
100000 this would be about 60 pounds
yearly per capita,
