Chief Judge Cullen had locked up
his jury. Not in the sense that

the guard of deputies did he quaran-

and senators behind the never sleep

Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain
in pit of stomach, and feeling of full

stomach trouble, and should be given the
proper treatment, as your strength and
health depend very largely upon your
food and its digestion.
To get quick and permanent relief
from these ailments, you should take
a medicine of known curative merit.

SUGAR IMPORTS
More Sugar Was Brought Into the
United States Last Year Than
Ever Before.

More sugar was brought into conti-
mental United States in the fiscal
year Just ended than in any other
year in the history Of the country. ac-
eording to the latest figures of the
Buerau or Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, Department of Commerce. The
quantity Of sugar entering from for
eign countries and our own islands in
the year ended June 30, 1913, was
six and one-half billion pounds
brought in during 1913, 10 billion
came from Cuba. l billion from Ha-
wall, three-quarters Of a billion from
Porto Rico, nearly a quarter of bill
lion from the Philippines, and the re-
mainder chiefly from South America.
Java, which has in some years sent
us as much as ! billion pounds OF
sugar. sent but 10 million pounds in
1913: while the quantity from Europe,
chiefly beet sugar, was 1872 million
pounds, against but 6 IL million in
1912, but being materially less than
in certain earlier years, the total
quantity OF beet sugar imported in
1901 having been sos ,6SS,07S pounds,
and in 1897. 1866, 567495 pounds.
In value however, the years re-
ceipts of sugar fell nearly 80 million
dollars below. those of last year, de-
spite the fact that the quantity re-
ceived was 500 million pounds great
err. The total value Of sugar import
ed from foreign countries during the
fiscal year 1918 was $1046S9,S23, and
of that coming from Hawaii, SS6,607,-
$40; from Porto Rico, S26,619,15S;
and from the Philippines, $4,593,199;
the latter, however, being included
in the figures of imports from foreign
countries. The average value per
pound of the sugar imported from for
eign countries in the fiscal year 1913
was % cents, against Isl cents in
1912, 2.46 cents in 1911, and 2.6 cents
in 1910.
These figures, which show that the
sugar imported in 1913 exceeded that
Of any other fiscal year, suggest that
the sugar consumption Of the United
States in 1913 will be larger than ey'
or before and will, for the first time,
exceea s billion pounds. The guam
tity brought from foreign countries Is
about A ga billion pounds, and from
Hawaii and Porto Rico nearly ? bill
lien, while the domestic production
now approximates 2 billion pounds,
the figures for 1912 being, Of beet sug-
ar about 1900 million pounds, and Of
cane sugar, 724 million pounds.
Speaking in very round terms, It
may be said that foreign countries
supply approximately one-half OF the
sugar consumed in the United States,
our own islands about one-fourth, and
our own fields about one-fourth.
Cuba supplies ninetenths Of that from
abroad; Hawaii, about one-half Of
that from our islands; and beets,
nearly two-thirds of that produced at
home
