HOW TO GET CHEAP SUGAR.
Beet Growing Will Result In Big Saw
ing to Consumers.

Mr.. w. p. Willett who is recognized
as the greatest statistical expert on
sugar in the country. is authority for
the statement that the competition of
the domestic beet product lowered
wholesale sugar prices an average OF
half a cent pound during 1912. More
over, he estimates that instead of being
off the market by the first of the year,
as Is usually the case. 60 per cent OF
the entire beet sugar crop was Carried
over into the present year and that it
will exercise an influence in the dircc-
lion of lower prices throughout 1918.
1t Is a familiar phenomenon IN the
sugar trade that wholesale prices 80
down every year when beet sugar
comes upon the market and that prices
20 up again as soon rs the beet sugar
is disposed Of and the big seaboard re
fners of imported sugar are again ir
control Of the situation.
During the Hardwick committees In
vestigation Of the sugar industry the
examination Of Mr. Willett as to the
best means of insuring permanent
supply of cheap sugar for the Ameri
can consumer brought from him thu
admission that the only way to accom-
plish this was to encourage the bee
sugar industry to develop as rapidly a.

WAGES AND PRICES.
Sugar Beet, Farmers and Workers Get
Much Higher Rates Here.

Much Higher Rates Here.
The difference between the condi
tons under which beet sugar Is pro.
duoed in the United States and Eu
rope is strikingly shown by report
just published as United States sen
ate document. Summarizing III re
ports from various European countries.
this document shows that 65 cents
day was the highest rate earned by
men working In the European beet
fields, while As cents was the average
rate. In all the European countries.
however the greater part OF the field
labor is done by women and children
ut wages ranging from 10 cents a dag
for children IN Russia to SO cents
day for women in Denmark. To these
poor laborers the $3.50 day. which
represents the average earnings of field
workers In the United States. must APP
pear Il princely income.
Among the factory workers engaged
in beet sugar production the difference
is equally striking. The men working
| in the factories of the great European
sugar making countries. France and
Germany receive an average daily
wage of "a cents, according to official
| fgures published by their own govern
ments The average American wage
for employees in the beet sugar fac
tories. 500 day, is more than three
! times rs, great.
Likewise the farmers who grow the
beets in Europe receive only $4 to S4.50
ton for their crops. although they
pay four to five times rs much rent for
their land as the American farmer
does.
While these figures serve to show
why it is that Europe can produce
sugar cheaper than the United States
and why the present tariff OH foreign
sugar is necessary to enable American
factories to continue these high rates
it is an interesting fact that the only
important country of Europe where
the people are able to buy sugar
cheaper than in the United States Is
England Even in England the price
paid for the sugar most generally USED
is as high as the prices paid here. Or
the whole the lot of an American sugar
beet grower or worker must be con
sidered far preferable to that of bis
European competitor.

Excepting domestic beet sugar. prac-
tically all sugar consumed by the Amer
lean people is purchased Us raw sugar
by the -four seaboard refining concerns,
which fix the price consumers must pay
for their refined product. All domestic
beet sugar leaves the factory ready for
the table and enters into direct competi
ton with the product Of the refiners OF
foreign raw sugar During the three
to Ave months in which domestic beet
sugar is marketed the competition II
creates compels the reflners to reduce
their prices or withdraw from the mar
ket. II there were no domestic beef

higher during three to FIVE months OF
each year, and II more beet sugar were
produced the price Of sugar would bt

The bulletin points out that in the
last six years the number of beef cat
tie in the country apparently has fall
en- off over 30 per cent, while the pop
ulation has increased.
Department estimates show that
the number of beef cattle in the Oun

and at the beginning of the present
year only 5000, 600, while the num-

beef, it is set forth, has fallen off ap-
proximately 100000 pounds from

Temperature Of the Body

The heat Of the body varies at diff
ferent ages and different times of the
day. Except when you are suffering
from fever you are never SO hot as
when you are born. The temperature
of a newborn baby is about 1O2 de.
grees, but during the first day it rap
idly goes down to 97k degrees, rising
again to a little above the average
temperature Of a grownup person.
which is about 9Sh degrees.
The heat of your body varies as
much as two degrees in "a hours. The
minimum is reached about 4 o'clock
in the morning, when your vitality is
at it's lowest, and the maximum is
reached about 4 in the afternoon. Peo-
pie who work by night and sleep dur
ing the day, however, are coolest in
the afternoon and warmest in the ear
~ morning.
It is a remarkable fact that we
nearly always die If Jul blood varies
more than a few degrees either way.
A temperature below IS degrees or
above LOG degrees is generally fatal.
