Miss Hyacinth Wells was an old
maid. If she hadn't been an old
maid she wouldn't have been the
owner and principal of the Wells
school for young ladies. Old maids
have a fondness for opening schools
for young ladies. It's their way of
getting revenge for never having had
any romance in. their own lives.
They become watch dogs and tyrants
and gloat over it.
When Miss Jean Kelly arrived at
her mother, she was left in the parlor
while the mother and Miss Wells re-

The Wearing
Of the Yellow
By Donald Allen

Copyright. 1910. by Associated Literary Press.)
Just why Mrs. Thompson Carding-
er decided to use yellow as her color
scheme at the last of the series of
bridge parties she was giving is not
known. 1t may have been that it
was her favorite shade; it may have
been that it harmonized with her
costume of the afternoon, or, it may
have been simply because yellow
spring flowers, jonquils. daisies and
tulips were plentiful in the florists
shops in March.
But the very fact that she had Sc.
lected yellow instead of any other hue
in the rainbow made all the difference
in the world TO her faithful cook.
Norah
Norah was daughter of the En-
erald Isle and she never lost an OPP
pOrtunity TO go to st. Patrick s
ball whenever the anniversary of that
good saints birth rolled around. And
in all the five years that she had been
in the country she had never failed
to dance the opening waltz with big
Pat Deasy from her own County
Cork.
Norahs mistress had chosen the
afternoon of St. Patrick's day for heI
bridge party, and when the last gues'
had gone and Mrs. Cardinger's du
ties as hostess were over, she stepped
into the kitchen to give word O
praise to her cook for the extra effor
she had made to have the pastries ant
coffee toothsome and dainty.
And, Norah, want you to wea
bunch of those lovely jonquils t.
your ball tonight. They will ado
much to your appearance. Also, yo1
may serve dinner at $50 instead o
seven, so as to be in plenty of time,
she said good naturedly. Mrs. CARD
niger appreciated the faithfulness o
Norah. and she knew with what pleas
ure the girl had looked forward to tn
ball of the evening.
Norah sang over her cook stove, an

Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa. ter before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia. and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu- tralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer initiates, thus ending blad- der disorders.

duction of beet sugar, amounting to 7,SOS,OOO tons, 5,666,OOO tons grew in belligerent territory in 1913. Nearly an of this product is now entirely iso- lated from the outside world being grown mainly in Germany, Austria Hungary and Russia What this means to the world is revealed by the fact that more than two-thirds of the worlds sugar is not consumed in the country of its origin, this condition arising from the fact that the great sugar-using nations are principally outside of the belts of sugar produc- ton.
 Any scarcity of sugar, growing out of the war, will effect the United States more seriously than any other country, for the reason that American people are per capita the heaviest users of sugar in the world With one-sixteenth of the worlds popula- ton, the United States consumes more than one-lfth of its sugar How rap idly this country is becoming a nation of sugar eaters is revealed by a refer ence to the tables of sugar cOnsump- tion of the past half century Fifty years ago the people of the United States ate IS pounds of sugar per capita. Five years later. in 187O they were using 33 pounds per capita Tn 1880, the per capita consumption had gone up to 40 pounds Twenty-Five year ago 1t had risen to 5l pounds. Tn 1900 it had climbed still higher to 5s pounds. By 1910 the mercury in the
 sugar consumption thermometer had ] reached SO. Today the per capita
Bisbee daily review., 1915-04-18

consumption is upwards of S5 pounds.
 "It appears that the cane sugar in- dustry will suffer very little in the matter of the total crop yield as a re- suit of the war. On the other hand the beet sugar business will suffer very heavily. The present Russian crop has been almost entirely tied up by inability to get exports out of the country, while next years crop is threatened with a shortage resulting from the destruction of the industry in Poland, where SO much of Russia's sugar Is produced. The reports from France indicate that the rich sugar beet lands of the northern section were harvested last season under the direction of the Germans, and that most of the sugar factories in this ter ritory have been dismanteled to se- cure their copper for the manufacture of war munitions.
 "In formation from Germany indi- cates that the empire will plant only three-fourths of its normal area in sugar beets this year. This would re. suit in cutting down Germany's sugar yield by more than 65O,OOO tons.
 "Of course the prospective shortoge in beet production will be somewhat offset by the falling off in suga- con sumption incident to the financial lstringercy of the world, caused by the war. Great Britain, annually buying nearly 100000 tons of sugar. will l probably cut down her consumption as much as Germany will cut down her , production.

WORLDS SWEET TOOTH
 HUNGRY BECAUSE OF WARS SUGAR FAMINE
Fifty-Three Per Cent of Entire Production Is Grown in COun- tries or Colonies Concerned in Conflict.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-The ef. feet of the present war in Europe on the geography of the worlds sugar production is strikingly shown in a statement just issued by the National Geographic Society. This statement is as follows.
 "Fify-three out of every hundred pounds of sugar produced in the world is grown in the countries now at war and their colonies. The total produc- ton of the world is estimated at ap- proximately 18,OOO0OO tons. This pro- duction is made up of cane sugar and beet sugar, the total yield of cane sugar having been 9545,OOO tons, and of beet sugar. 8.438.OOO tons in 1913.
 "One of the peculiar facts connect, ed with the sugar map of the world is that while Europe produces more than 93 out of every hundred pounds of beet sugar grown, it yields only one pound out of every six hundred of cane sugar. Of Europes total pro,

Mail Boat is New Invention.

dubbed boat is the "Yolando H." a
low-lying rakish craft. which promises
TO bring about as important a change in
inland water traffic as Robert Fulton's
"Clsremount" did in 1907. when she
made her way up the Hudson River
without sails, to the surprise of the old
boatmen.
The boat. which is development Of

whereupon the woman in the road
threw up both hands and leaped for
the man. The man threw up both feet
and leaped for the fence.
The last Aunt Miranda saw of them
they were entering their modest home
neck and neck, and the divorce court
lost bet.
Then the machine began to climb a
telegraph pole, and as it ran down the
other side Aunt Miranda wanted to
know for the tenth time IL it would
explode
How did John tell you to handle
it?" she shrieked, as the Rowdy Cart
bit it's way through a stone fence and
began to dance a two-step over a
strange mans lawn.
'The only way to handle this In
fernal machine is to soak it in water"
yelled Uncle Gilbert as they hit the
main road again.
Il don't see what family pride has
to do with 1t; there isn't soul look
ing" moaned Aunt Miranda.
"Oh! If l could only be arrested for
fast riding and get this thing stopped
walled Uncle Gilbert as they headed
for the river
Let me outi Let me out!" pleaded
Aunt Miranda, and the machine
seemed to hear her. for it certainly
obliged the lady.
l found out afterwards that in or.
der to make good with Aunt Miranda
the machine jumped up in the air and
turned a double handspring, during
the course of which friend uncle and
his wife fell out and landed in the
most generous mudpuddle in that part
of the state.
Then the Buzz Buggy turned around
and barked at them and with an ex
cited wag of its tail scooted for home
and left them fat
Late that evening Uncle Gilbert ex
planned that there would have been
no trouble at all IL he had removed a
defective spark plug.
But think If Uncle Gilbert would
go to Doctor Lesser and have his par
simony removed he'd have more fun
as he breezes through life.
Peaches thinks just as do, but she
won't say it out loud. She's a fox

der the hood to see if the trouble
was stubbornness or appendicitis.
Uncle Gilbert took a dislike to a
brass valve and began to knock it
with the monkey wrench, whereupon
the valve got mad at him and upset q
pint of ancient salad oil all over his
features.
When Uncle Gilbert recovered con-
seriousness the machine was breathing
again, so he jumped to the helm,
pointed the bow at Boston, Mass, and
began to cut the grass.
Alas! however, it seemed that the
demon of unrest possessed that Coal
oil Coupe, for it soon began to jump
and skip. and suddenly, with a snort,
it took the river read and scooted
away from town.
Uncle Gilbert patted it on the back
and spoke soothingly. but it was no
use.
Aunt Miranda pleaded with him to
keep in near the shore, because she
was getting seasick: but her tears
were in vain
You must appear calm and indif-
ferent in the presence of danger"
muttered Uncle Gilbert as they rushed
madly into the bosom OF flock of
cows.
But luck was with them, for with a
turn of the wrist Uncle Gilbert jumped
the machine across the road, and all
he could feel was the sharp swish Of
