When a bath is desired, the

Raised on the water, these peo-

men and children walk along the

the poles, nearly standing on

Streams of cascos, laden with
Philippine produce are towed to
the ocean-going steamers and re-
turn with foreign produce to the
warehouses on the river banks.
There was once an idea. that
with the deepening of the harbor
and the building of docks, at
which the big steamers could land
and discharge their cargoes, the
day of the casco would end. The
commerce of Manila has doubled
since 1905 and their is plenty of
work still for river people.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A FLY.

in an old garbage can, break
fast and away to a bakery where
l have some desert, take a drink
at n pool in the gutter then light
Oh horse face and take a ride.
Go for a walk around the edge
of a drinking glass. See an old
stable door open SO go in. See a
dog asleep, so tease him awhile.
Tnta seeing the window Of \
nice lacking house open ! go in
and .,;ny delight find table just
ready for dinner. Then going
into the nursery light on the
baby's bottle for a sip of milk,
craw' around the baby's face and
fird it very sweet. Passing by
the house some weeks later find
a white ribbon tied on the door.
Swat the fly! Scientists say it is
deadier then the tiger or the chol-
era. It's name, physicians sug-
gest, shoul be changed from
"house fly" to typhoid fly" In
New York City alone nearly 5000
cases ST typhoid and other intes-
tinal disc ases are annually attri-
buted to the fly. Laying I'D

AMERICAS SUGAR CON-
SUMPTION.

The best proof that the United
States is capable of growing ali
the sugar it needs is found in the
fact that already half the entire
national supply is produced un-
der the American flag. Of this,
i'm turn, half is grown in insular
possessions Of the nation, Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the Philippines,
while the other half is prOduc Ell
in what may be called continent
al United States. Last year the
production of sugar in the various
states was over 1,70O,OOO,O0O
pounds, or nearly 20 pounds for
every man, woman and child in
the country,
This is a great amount OF sugar.
1t would be sufficient to supply
the entire demand of the country
if we ate no more of this product
per capita than do the people OF
Italy or SpaiG today or than We
ate few years ago. But Amer
leans are greater consumers OF SUI
gar than are the people OF any
other nationality with a single
exception. As a nation we use
vastly more sugar than any other
people except our British cousins.
1t takes more than 7,OOO,OOO,OOO
sounds of sugar to satisfy the
american sweet tooth, Or nearly
l1lhof the production of tlc
pFtire world. This means that
the average man, woman AMI
child, from ono end Of the coun.
try to tho other, Is about eighty
pounds a year. The per capita
consumption in Great Britain is
about a pound more than this
