Eat Plenty of Sugar.

The belief is gaining ground in many
quarters that if you wish to stave off
old age and to have the feeling of per-
ennial youth and gaiety, no matter
what your actual years may be- you
cannot do better than eat plenty of
sugar. One of the pioneers of this
theory is Professor Metchnikoff, who
has made exhaustive experiments to
prove his statements. There are some
who even assert that not only does the
frequent eating of sugar keep one from
growing old. but that if a man or wo-
man will begin the sugar treatment,
even after senility has set in, the eff
feet will be SO great as to amount to
complete change in his or her char
acter.-D, troit Free Press.

LOCAL MENTION.

Steps were taken by the city sanitary
department this morning to stop further
dumping of rubbish along the east bank
of tire Shunganunga near the ball park
where fire has been burning for several
weeks. The fire started in the trash near
the creek and has been burning slowly
ever since. Recently complaint mas been
made that persons who haul rubbish in
the city have been dumping on the fire.
This practice will be stopped. Appica-
ton was made 10 Fire Chief George o;
Wilmarth to take a company or two from
the fire depa rtment to eXtinSulsh the fire.
However the place is out of the city, and
the chief was afraid if he took company
out there a fire might break out in the
city that would need the apparatus taken.
The fire is doing no particular harm, but
is regarded as somewhat unsafe, and PEG
pie in the neighborhood are anxious to see
it out.
