1t may be worth few lines to say
that Mr. Walter, the principal proprietor

Cane Sugar is Grown in Different Climate
Than Beet Sugar.
TWO SORTS OF SUGAR.

Sahe SuSdi 10 NioWH Ill Dl1eIent Ultimate
Than, Beet Sugar.
The introduction of the use of sugar
into Europe was largely due to the Cru
saders, who acquired taste for it when
they were in the Holy Land. On their
return home their demand for it resulted
In creating market for it in Venice.
1t was not long until the cane was cul-
tlvated in all the countries bordering on
the Mediterranean, and the industry
tiourlshed up to the 18th century. After
the discovery of America the Spaniard
and Portuguese, and later the Dutch,
French and English, introduced sugar
cultivation into their colonies in the
West Indies and South America
BY the introduction of slave labor,
which was practically unknown in Chris
tlan countries prior to the 18th century,
it became possible to produce sugar in
large quantities, so that it ceased being
a costly product used only by the rich,
and became cheap enough to be an arti-
Gle OF common consumption.
The output, which formerly amounted
to only thousands of hundredweights,
now increased to thousands of tons.
While it is possible to obtain sugar
IL oii INC iHdple tiee anu sorghum sugars
from the broom corn, as we'll as from
fruits, and some of the palms, the
worlds supply is obtained mainly from
two sources-the sugar cane and beet
roots.
Cane sugar is grown entirely between
30 degrees North latitude and 20 degrees
South latitude. Beet sugar is product
OF the Temperate Zone, and its cultiva-
ton IS confined to Europe and the United
States. At present the worlds supply
is about equally divided between cane
and beet sugar. New York Telegram.

Your Children Become
Rosy and Robust

When children act listless, look
frail, lose appetite, become cross and
peevish, you need to look after them
very carefully. The dull eyes, coated
tongue, bad breath tell you that the
stomach is out of order, the liver mac
tive, the bowels need attention, and
perhaps worms may be making their
troubles worse Whatever it is, you
may be sure that IL. F." Atwoods
Medicine will do them a great deal
of good. 1t acts surely on the stom-
ach and bowels, regulates the liver,
and has tonic effect which brings
back appetite, fills out cheeks and
makes them rosy. This medicine is
safe for the children, and you see its
good effects in a surprisingly short time.

Not Well Enough Known.

We cannot accomplish much in the treat
ment of dyspepsia, however much we may
temporarily relieve its symptoms, so long as
the blood remains impure. 1t is fact not
we'll enough known by people generally that
when the stomach, liver and other digestive
organs are supplied with impure blood, the
digestive process is impaired, SO as to cause
faintness and loss of appetite and sometimes a
deranged state of the intestines and in gener-
al all the symptoms of dyspepsia.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is of great service in
dyspepsia, because it purifies the blood, maxi
ing it the healthy stimulus the digestive or
gans must have for the proper performance of
their duties. Hoods Sarsaparilla, especially
if taken in a little hot water, has "a magic
touch" in dyspepsia. Get it today.
