Gle was sold in the loaf, lump or piece
and the purchaser had to break it up for

specialized and adapted to particular
needs in ways of which our ancestors
know nothing. We utilize it not only
for tea and coffee, but also for fruits
and cereals, for icings, ice cream and
preserving, candy and chewing gum,
chocolate and condensed milk, crackers
and biscuits. In twenty years the pro-
duction of sugar in this country has dou-
bled. One company alone requires $780,
600 cars to carry its yearly business, and
uses up so many millions of barrels that

If. as Capt. Ian Hay Beth said recent
ly in Boston. England's Royal Flying
corps is as large as her first army in
France. that means there are about l20,-
900 men in the flying corps at the pres

fully as large, and Germany must have a
corps as large as either, if not larger.
II would mean that i'm those three ma

presume that these nations would total
10000, so that altogether in Europe at

men in the different aviation corps.

from beets is of comparatively recent
origin, yet in seventeen years the output
leaped from five million to nearly bill
lion pounds. The bulk of our raw cane
sugars come from Cuba, Porto Rico, Ha-

touched by the war; supply is also
yielded by Louisiana and Texas, main

sugars are purchased in the open market
and carried by sea in vessels ranging up
to 10000 tons burden, to be locked in
special wharves located near the refin-

There is another business which has
brought big profits to the Philippines
though to limited group. That is ship
ping. Inter island shipping companies
have not shared greatly in this prosper
ity, since their rates are limited by gov.
ernmental control But few venture
some spirits who have bought and sold
ships have made enormous profits. One
of them, Filipino, was government
clerk ten years ago at $40 month. His
shipping operations in the period since
the beginning of the war have Melted
him nearly S2,oo0,000, and he enjoys the
distinction of paying the largest income
tax in the Philippines.
All these facts together have conspired
TO make the year one of the most pros
porous in the history of the islands. No
year will show such favorable balance
of foreign trade as 1916. Even to the re-
tail merchants whose chief business has
been with Americans, has this prosperity
extended. American purchasers, fearful
of the future, have perhaps economical
more than in former years, but the ag-
gregate of their purchases, considering
the exodus of government employees, has
been little behind former years. As a
American merchants report
ed that their holiday trade would rank
with the best they ever experienced.
What difference there was could be as
cribed to a shortage on stock due to the
very uncertain shipping and transporta-
ton means to the islands.

TONIC FOR GROWING GIRLS

Most growing girls need tonic,
especially during the years when they
are springing up most rapidly and
when their appetites are most tickle.
A diet of tea and candy will ruin any
girls chances of future happiness. A
plentiful and scientifically correct diet
might meet all requirements but this is
next to impossible. Hence the need
for a tonic. Almost every doctors
daughter is given q tonic during her
period of rapid growth but because your
daughter does not actually break down
you do not call doctor and she gets
thin and pale, fidgets so that she can
not sit still on chair, eats the wrong
things, eats too fast, gets too little OUT
of-door exercise and perhaps faces st.
Vitus' Dance, or nervous breakdown.
A great responsibility rests on parents
and DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the
best and most convenient tonic to aid
them in bringing their daughters to
healthy and happy womanhood. They
supply needed elements to the blood,
and enable it to meet the unusual de-
mands upon it and help tolay founda-
ton for future health.
The price of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
is fifty cents per box. Your own drug
gist sells them or they will be sent on
receipt of price, by the DIR. Williams
