per cent of them fail. Why should
they fail? Suppose 95 per cent of
the people died of diphtheria, what
would we say? There is no more
reason in 95 per cent of merchants
failing in business than there would
be reason in IS per cent of the peo-
pie dying of diphtheria. It Is pure
waste. Statistics prove that IS per
cent of the merchants who fail in
business are non-advertising mer-
chants. Advertising is the only
anti-toxin. Results of good adver-
Using are certain. The inexperi-
enced generally meets with disap-

vertising is a special business just as

Antwerp, via The Hague, Aug. %.
This city is being placed in state
of siege. All foreigners will be asked
to leave as soon as possible.
King Albert and the general stan
are now here. The forts are all man
ned and the civil guard has been d.
rected to act under orders from the
military. Fast channel steamers have
been requisitioned to carry the nom
combatants to places Of safety, either
IN England or France. sss.s#.
Many Of the smaller houses in the
suburbs and along the canals have
been destroyed and the trees outside
the city cut down SO that any German
attacking force will be unable to talhe
cover. - +
0mcers detailed BY General .Johre
from the French staff corps to aid the
Belgians are now here and are meet
ing with the Belgian stan. (.
There is grave doubt whether the
German plans contemplate any So
.rious siege of Antwerp. The defenses
are deemed impregnable.
@Warships Can Aid In Defense.
There are three lines of forts, the
final and naturally the strongest hav-
ing been completed in 1908. The ap-
proaches from the land are carefully
guarded, while British or French war
ships can be sailed directly up the
Scheldt to aid in the defense.
But the very fact that it would re-
quire lengthy siege to take the city,
if it could be taken, seems to forbid
any formidable, German advance
against it. To detach an army of SUI
.fcient strength tormake an impression
on Antwerp would rob the kaiser's
forces of men badly needed in the ad-
vance against the French frontier.
1t is expected all the Germans will
do will be to post force sufficiently
strong to hold the Belgian army in
Antwerp, thus protecting it's flank
from attack, while the main body of
the German army continues to press
southwark. 1t is reported, but, not
confirmed, the Germans burned many
Belgian villages and cleared the cOun-
try in their advance from the Mouse.

Sugar Consumption.

The consumption OF sugar Is con-
stantly increasing In the United States
and for the year 1913 reached practical
ly 3,750,000 long tons against about g.
500, 900 the year before. All the world
seems now to be appreciating more and
more the nutritive value of sugar as a
food stuff, and the consumption Is
constantly increasing, and the increase
is rated at over 4 per cent per annum.
The average difference between the
price OF SO test raw sugar and fine
white granulated, was 0.772 cents q
pound against e.879 cents a pound In
1912, and 0.9S2 cents pound In 1911
OF this total, 2,f50,000 tons OF con-
sumption in round terms. 100000 tons
came from Cuba, 100000 tons from
Hawaii, $4,000 tons from Porto Rico,
and the Philippines; 208,000 tons OF
domestic cane sugar, 625, 900 OF domes-
tic beet sugar, 5000 tons OF maple
sugar, and 10000 tons made from Inn
ported molasses. Practically all OF this
sugar was refined, although the domes-
tic beet sugar Is made pure white IN

to the finished white sugar. The great
