Consumptio,s If Sugar Goes
Up to "a Pounds Per Capita
Since Revolutionary PERIOD

The American who during the
worlds greatest war must get along
with one lump of sugar instead OF TWO
in his coffee will be interested in the
fact that the Revolutionary patriots
had much less or none at all OF the
sweetening food material.
A century ago, says the United States
department of agriculture, the people
of this country consumed less than
one-tenth as much sugar as they do
now. In 1791-1795, just after the Revo-
luton. the estimated annual consump-
ton was IS pounds per capita. In
1S21-lS25 the average per capita con-
sumption was S.3 pounds and was prac-
tically the same 20 years earlier. But
in the five years ending with 1913 the
total consumption in the United States
was approximately S,OOO,OOO,OOO
pounds, a yearly average of about 81
pounds for each person, Or 37S pounds
for an average family (4.5 persons).
Reasons for the increase can be
found not only in many new and e&-

Mushroom Growth of Some
German Cities Formerly of
Very Little Importance

The predOminance of war industries
in the German empire has given a
mushroom growth to q large number
of German cities which formerly
boasted of little commercial impor-
tance, according to a London corre-
spondent.
Munich, instead of occupying third
position in population and Importance,
now ranks seventh. One of the most
remarkable examples of war-boom
towns is Bochum, situated in the rich
iron ore district Of Westphalia. Be-
fore the war it had population Of

it 764,774.

Old Age Cannot Wear Out
Its Shoes as ReckIessly
As Does the Gay Youth

Preparing for easy old age is one OF
the spurs that has transformed
wholesome ambition into "vaulting
ambition that o'erleaps itself" Many
q man has shortened his life Overwork-
ing to take care of the old age that be
thus snuffed out, observes writer in
the Minneapolis Journal. Any man Is
remiss who does not prepare against
old age, but nature has also taken a
hand in this preparation.
Old age cannot wear out its shoes as
recklessly as does youth. The normal
old man finds better entertainment in
meditation than he could in expensive
amusement Memory is his movie"
Society does not ask old people to burn
expensive midAight oil nor to appear
on dress parade. Thus normal and
gratifying reduction of outgo is equiva-
lent to an addition to the income.
Feverish preparation for old age i'm
plies the belief not only that the appe-
tite will not decrease with old age, but
that old age will be wholly helpless to
sustain itself. AS a matter of fact,
but small proportion of the old are
totally disabled for gainful labor. And
few, If any, old people are as happy
when idle as when occupied with such
work as they are fitted to do.
The wise old man has learned what
as a foolish young. man he failed to
see, that 'enough is as good as
feast" and that after all "man wants
but little here below"

SUMMER CAPITAL OF INDIA
Sma, the Most English City From
London to Melbourne, Increases in
Population During Year.

The British empire never gives the
sun a chance to set on it. but Of all the
cities from London to Melbourne that
fly the Union jack, the most English
is Simla, summer capital Of India. 1t
is more English than anything in Eng
land, as though the English in India
were stirred to a more aggressive
Anglicism by their distance from
home.
Simla has been pictured to all the
world in Kipling's "Plain Tales" states
a writer, but it has changed a good
deal since the era set forth In those
sketches. The railroad from kalka
was completed years ago and the long
journey from the rail head to Simla
in the tonga, or native cart, which
was one of the unforgettable expert
ences of the visitor in the early days,
is hardly q memory now. The sailing
time from the Indian ports to Europe
has been cut in half since kipling
wrote and altogether, Simla is much
more a part of the world. Yet it
keeps its characteristic flavor in spite
of modern improvements.
1T is summer city. In winter there
are perhaps $4,000 people there. most
of them natives. In the hot weather
the population goes up to 10000 or
more. Most Of the newcomers are
officers of some Importance in the In
dian world-men on leave from hun
drcd scattered districts. men from
lonely frontier posts and fever smitten
southern provinces, men who act as
official advisers to the kings of semi
Independent native states, meeting
their own people in numbers for the
first time in q twelvemonth.

Telephones in Canada,

A most remarkable increase is evi-
denced in the use Of the telephone in
Canada during the past five years, ac-
cording to a report recently laid upon
the table of the house Of commons.
The number of telephones in use
throughout the Dominion in 1912 was
37O,SS4, while in 1917 the number had
grown to 604, 1876. The number OF tele-
phone companies operating in 1912 was
6S3, and five years later there were
1859 companies in operation. A total
of SS9,572 miles of wire was in use
during the year 1912. In 1917 the wire
mileage was 1,T0S,202 The capitaliza-
ton of telephone companies also shows
q great increase in the five-year period.
In 1912 it was S42,27S,S51, while In
June, 1917, it was $79,121, ,702. The
revenue during the same period had
grown approximately $S,000,000. The
number of persons for each telephone
in the Dominion in 1912, was 1913 and
In 1917, 1874.

Government Appeals to
Patriotism of Sportsmen.

The United States department of
agriculture appeals to the patriotism
and true craftsmanship of all persons
to cooperate with it in the enforce
ment of the federal law for the pro-
lection of migratory birds, especially
at this time when the problem of con-
serving the food supply is taxing the
ingenuity of the world. 1t is gratify-
ing to know that the majority Of
sportsmen have observed the federal
regulations and this fact has con-
tributed largely to the successful re-
suits accomplished. A sense of pa
triotic duty should impel every one to
conserve this natural food asset, thus
perpetuating the species and increasing
the supply for the benefit Of all the
people.
The department has planned to in
crease greatly its force of wardens,
who will be actively engaged during
the spring migration In securing evil
dence upon which to base prosecutions
against those who may violate the law.

How President Kruger Decided
Pr0bIern for Two Brothers

That very canny person, President
Kruger, was once called upon, as King
Solomon before him, to pass Judgment
in a matter of ownership. The case
was that of two brothers, who had
been left a farm and could not agree
as to the division which had to be
made. They agreed that, rather than
take the matter to the courts, they
would let President Kruger decide.
President Kruger appears to have hes
itated about as little as King Solomon
did. He instructed the elder brother
to make what he considered fair d.
vision, and then he gave first choice
to the younger brother. A solution,
like Solomon's, both mastery and SIM

Two Brave Marines.

On the first day Of February, 1918,
there was an explosion in seaplane
hangar on an aviation field near Wash
ington. The explosion started a fire
which set ablaze the clothing Of a
chief petty officer Of the navy. The
death of the petty officer and the de-
struction of the costly hangar were Inn
minent. Privates William r. Lawton
and Raymond J. Burnap, United States
marines from the Washington navy
yard, were on duty nearby. Arming
themselves with fire extinguishers,
they dashed to the rescue. The life Of
the petty officer was saved and the de-
struction of the hangar prevented. Sec
retary Daniels wrote personal letter
to each of the marines, commencing
him for his coolness and presence of
mind in the face Of sudden danger.
Private Lawton enlisted in the ma
rine corps on August 4, 1914, at Nor
folk, Va. Private Burnap Joined the
soldiers of the sea at Philadelphia on

THE BEST POLICY

Would you win eternal fame
And immortalize your name?
Do you covet praise and pelf and self
esteem?
Then give your utmost best
And do it with a zest-
To the job that's yours, however small
1t seem,
And when you've set your mark on high,
pursue it;
For it's not the thing you do, but how
you do it..
Would you find the pot of gold
With it's blessings manifold,
But with it have your conscience free
from blight?
Then cut your wants in half,
Make thrift your daily staff,
And keep your credit and your honor
bright.
And when the tempter offers graft, for
sake it;
For it's not how much you make, but
how you make it.
Would you build your monument
Ere your busy life be spent;
Or would you the applause of men COM
mand?
Then purge your soul of greed,
Hear every call Of need
And scatter blessings with an open
hand.
If money easy comes, do not abuse 1t,
For it's not how much you save, but how
you use it.
