Both Men Under Sentence as Wife Murderers-Efforts Made to Save Saxon's Life on Plea of ln-
 sanity Fail.

Hartford-The long and deter mined fight by the lawyers for Louis Saxon, of New Britain for the commu Imprisonment ended in denial of ths Saxon petition by the board of par dons at the adjourned session of that body at the State prison. The Board went into executive session and It. took hardly half hour to arrive at decision in this case and to decide on a pardon for Michael Reagan. of New Haven, lifer, the only petitioner who. was granted his freedom.
 The members of the board were loath to discuss the case other than to say that the petition had been denied and that Saxon would hang for ths murder of Annie Saxon, his wife, in New Britain. Since his incarceration at. the prison he has been acting strangely and at the hearing a short time ago alienists were produced by lawyers for Saxon, who said that the man was insane. His condition seemed to grow worse daily until he became NAAiOSb i6 AhtA-As| the hard fight for communication means that the decision arrived at in the Su- perior Court and later affirmed by Su' preme Court still holds, and as all tac' tics of legal nature have been re- sorted to with no avail, the murderer will be executed.
 ThS case has aroused much interest and since new phase of the killing has been presented to the people through the production of legal mar riage certificate which showed that Saxon was really married to Annie Spelansky, sentiment has turned somewhat in favor of the man ana considerable hope was cherished Tor communication of the death sentence. When the deed was committed Saxon was not supposed to have been mar ried to the victim and sentiment was strong against him for interfering With the young woman who it was supposeu at the time, was living with him, out not as his wife.

\ CCIENP,
DEPARTMENT

It is almost always used with fruit
prunes excepted-cakes, pastries and,
in general, food made with eggs and
-four. 1t is used very rarely with meat
dishes. though old cook hooks show
recipes of meat pies heavily seasoned
with sugar and spice and all things
nice" Mince pie is one of the few sur
vivors Of such seasoning.
In making jams, preserves and jel-
lies, sugar is used and cooked to a
thick, heavy solution, which adds not
only 10 appearance and palatability,
but acts as a preservative. On the
contrary, when used in canning with
thin syrup It may have the opposite
effect. Just at the present time sugar
is In great demand in the home for
all kinds of canning and preservation
of food.
Very few housekeepers have given
much thought to sugar and the pro.
portions in which it should be used.
For instance, generally one part SUI
gar TO two parts of -four in cake max
ing. and canning fruit one part sugar
to two parts fruit Thy weight, and jel-
lies from three-quarters TO one part
sugar to one part of juice.
UNsKILLED COOKERY MARK.
Much Overwhelming or none at all
has been the rule with most house
keepers, which is mark of unskilled
cookery.
The amount Of sugar to be given
children and in what form is surely
of great Importance Sugar would
seem to be a food especially good for
children because Of tn ir great activ-
ity. Children must have some sugar
in their food and 1t is a natural crav-
ing A child year old who gets two
quarts of milk day has three ounces
of milk sugar. A child even in its
second year, If allow ed to taste sweets
| in any form. loses the taste for milk
which contains such a delicate flavor
of sweets. I woull also add that even
| much later for the same reason the
giving of large amounts of sugar in
cakes, cookies, on cereals, etc, is to
be carefully avoided.
Children do not require variety of
favors to stimulate the appetite, but
the taste is easily changed and when
once perverted the restoring Of the
normal appetite is difficult. Keep su-
gar off mush, porridge, oatmeal, etc.
where milk or cream is used, and give
the child an occasional pudding or a
lump of sugar or some homemade
candy.
In this manner the whole diet of the
child is made more wholesome. In
sweet fruits the child finds sugar in a
healthful form and should be freely fur.
nished, and with the adult four or five
ounces of sugar day is a useful and
valuable food.

SUGAR AND ITS VALUE AS FOOD.
It is very rare individual who does
not like sweets, but the pleasant favor
OF sugar. together with its non-recog-
nized nutritive value, will account IN
large measure for its popularity as
food
There is no limit to the amount of
sugar children and adults will eat and
this is universally. true of all poo
pies. The English-speaking people.
however. are the largest consumers of
sugar, and the use Of it is everywhere
increasing.
RARELY ADULTERATED.
1 was asked only last week in lee
tnre if powdered sugar was not fire.
quently adulterated. Reports from
the bureau of chemistry state that
starch has been detected in very
few samples. Sugar is readily soluble
in water, and if the housekeeper has
any doubts about her sugar, add a
spoonful to a glass of water and stir
for some time. If all sugar, it will
completely dissolve and any foreign
matter will float
Sugar, like starch. is fattening; that
is. when taken in excess it is trans
formed into fat and stored in the body.
For this reason corpulent people are
advised to use it sparingly; il this is
done, it is good energy producer and
should make the stout individual keep
sufficiently active not to store any eN
cess fat. The difficulty with most peo
pie is eating in quantities with an al
rcaSc abundant diet
Sugar and molasses are both used
| in the south to a large extent in fat
tening animals. in fact, many mixed
rations for farm animals are now or
market which contain molasses as one
of their chief ingredients. OF course
| with this are other ingredients to pro
duce a well-balanced ration. While
| the farmer usually knows all that foI
| his stock. he has only recently come
TO some understanding about the ne
cessity of the same laws governing
his own body.
VALUED FLAVORING.
In addition to sugar being valuable
as a food it surely has It's place in oul
diet for fiavoring, and one which we
could not easily spare, as it now en-
tiers into a great variety Of dishes and
in fact. this has been one Of the chic
reasons for its use, and not because
it is recognized as a food to satisf.
| body needs
Sugar is used in cooking and confec
tionery, which is almost entirely sugar
