THE RESERVE STOCK OF SUGAR
GROWS PRODICIOUSLY.

According TO those who ought TO
know there is close to 81, GOO worth
of sugar in the bonded warehouses
and on docks in this city, and APP
proximately | 1000, 600 worth in other
bonded warehouses throughout the
country. The reserve stock increased
almost double since the fall OF 1914, at
which time sugar started on its spec
tacular career.
The total production Of sugar for
1913 reached something like 100000
tons in the raw. as compored with
100000 tom produced shortly after
the Spanish-American war. There has
been no apparent shortening Of sugar
cane. In fact since the formation Of
the Cuban-Amcrican Sugar company,
a $50, 600, 900 corporation composed OF
American and Cuban f~inanciers the
production has increased, and, with
the increase of population the whole
sale price jumped. too.
In 1918 sugar sold wholesale at a
trifle over I cents.a pound. the fol-
lowing year it jumped to within ten
points OF ) cents a pound. From that
time until now 1t kept going up.
reaching d cents in the early part OF
1915 and "a cents in December Of the
same year. Last August 1t reached
almost "a cents. There has been 4
slight reduction since then ON ac-
count of the new crop, but 1t IL still
a fraction more han I cents.
These jumps, which are claimed To
bc uncalled for, naturally caused
jumps to the consumer, big and small,
without profit to the dealer. All the
profits of these jumps went to tho
Cuban-AmeriCan Company n the
three big refining concerns. These
Jumps M sugar brought about the
Jumps In condensed milk. In cakes, IN
Caudy-in everything, in fact, that

tee, and it, held its first meeting ycster-

The complaints have come from
both wholesale and domestic consum-
ers of sugar, but chiefly from big
firms using sugar as an Ingred ent.
If mere figures were to be taken as
proving anything. then there is no
extraordinary shortage Of sugar, no
more shortage, In fact than was

reasons yesterday as follows:
Ffrst-The money that Connie Mack,
part owner and manager of the Philadel-
phia Athletics, wants for the release of
the man who hits them where they

second-The amount of money, $40, 900,
which Baker demands from Connie Mack
as his share of the purchase price.
Third-The salary which the farmer of
Trappe, Md, wants spread out in bold
face type In his contract with the New

Out of Tournament.

New York, Feb. S.-Francis Ouimet,
national open golf champion in 1913
and national amateur champion in
1914, has announced his Intentions OF
retiring from all tournament play for
the coming season. He gives no rea-
son for his action except that he has
been overgoIfed for two seasons and
he desires to spend more time on his
business. This places the L. S. G. A.
in a peculiar situation, as far as Oui-
met is concerned, as he was one of
the golfers whose amateur status was
TO be brought into question under the
new ruling. II Ouimet abstains from
competition il is unlikely that any
action will he taken in his case. and
it is probable that some other player
will be taken as a test case.

She, Too, Suffered With Sour
Stomach, Gas, Constipated
and Couldn't Sleep. Dreco
Relieved Her.

That Dreco has entered the homes
Of every class of people from the
richest to the most humble is being
proven daily by the statements COM
ing to Dreco headquarters at O'Don-
nslTs main store. One Of the latest is
that of the wife of a prominent bank
er of Lynchburg, Va. She says: "I
have been in a nervous, rundown con-
dition for a long time. Digestion was
bad. subject to headaches, sour stom-
ach, and didn't sleep we'll Any ex-
citement caused palpitation of the
heart, and I couldn't take much ex-
erctse without getting very tired and
weak. I had taken lots Of medicine
and been treated by different doctors
without much success. I read in the
Washington paper one day of a Train
ed Nurse telling what it did for her
friend, so thought ! could no more
than try a bottle OF it. It seemed to
be just what l needed, for 1 began to
improve right from the first Now my
constipation is gone. sleep well, eat
most anything I want without bad
after effects, no more gas or heart
flutterings; in fact. 1 am greatly i'm
proved in every respect and cannot
say too much for Dreco."
Mr.. Fulton, the Dreco Man, in COM
menting on this statement, said: Il do
not believe 1 exaggerate when I say
that fully ninety per cent of the
chronic ills today are caused by poor
digestion and non-assimilation of the
food, which eventually produces in
flammation of the mucus membranes
and causes catarrh, rheumatism, kid
ney trouble, backache and many other
troubles. Hundreds are using Dreco,
and in practically every case it pro-
duces wonderful results"

HAUGHToN BUSY MAN.
Owner of Braves Has bought q

Boston. Feb s.-If Percy d. Haughton

he is likely to be quite a busy man.
Besides taking on the presidency of the
Braves and apparently continuing as
head football coach at Harvard he soon
will become head of Boston sporting
goods house. He is to figure In a deal
that will call for consolidation with a
big concern, and the report is that 1t will
be capitalized at 100000
Whether Haughton's combined respon-
sibilities will compel him to relinquish
his position at Harvard remains TO be
seen. His long association with athletics
undoubtedly will be of great assistance
to Haughton in his new venture. and II
is reasonable to assume that a flourish
ing village trade Will be developed
whether he returns to Cambridge or not
Then there is a major league baseball
