Mental and Physical Work,

Mark Twain wrote as follows on this
subject:
There are wise people who talk
ever so knowingly and complacently
about the working classes and sat
isfy themselves that days hard in
tellectual work is very much harder
than a days hard manual toll. and is
nghteously entitled to much bigger
pay. Why, they really think that. you
know, is because they know all about
the one, but haven't tried the other.
But I know all about both; and so far
as am concerned, there isn't money
enough to hire me to swing a pickax
thirty days, but will do the hardest
Kind Of intellectual work for just as
near nothing as you can cipher 1t down
and l will be satisfied, too"

RIGID RULES or PoLIrENEss
Continental Countries Carry FERNS Of
Solicitation and Courtesy TO What
We Consider Extremes.

In all continental countries men lift
their hats when saluting one another.
It is also customary for them to un-
cover their heads on entering any kind
Of private premises, including ofices,
and In some parts even banks.
1t was, until recently, considered ex-
tremely rude for q man In Poland to
enter even a shop without removing
his hat, and Il was not unusual for q
customer who omitted this formality
30 be told that he would be attended
TO when compliance with the demands
Of politeness should entitle him to the
shopkeeper's consideration Il was
only q few years before the war that
this practice came gradually to be
abandoned. The reform was largely
due to the action Of the more import
ant tradespeople In the principal
towns, who exhibited notices In their
shops saying. -Gentlemen are request
ed not to remove their hats"
In Poland and Russia visitors are
expected to leave In the hall not only
their goloshes, but hat, coat. and stick
as well, no matter how short their stay.
Clients calling on professional men are
expected to do the same.

TAXES PLACE or cows MILK


Substitutes for cows milk seem to
be obtainable from various vegetable
sources. Drs. II. ID. Chaplin and Lu6
wig Kast Of New York reported their
experience with almond milk. which
Is prepared by first grinding the
almonds fine. covering with water and
placing In the icebox overnight and
then pressing out with a fruit press or
by hand through four layers OF gauze.
The water may be twice the weight OF
the nuts. the pressed-out liquid being
further diluted The almond milk fer
ments much less easily than cows
milk. IL richer In easily digestible fat
and In phosphorus and itB small
amount Of carbohydrate makes II less
likely to cause sugar fermentation. II

sand adults. Though some dislike II,
no actual Disturbances have been
caused by n, and Il has served well
for temporary use In such conditions
as nephritis. typhoid, intestinal putre-
faction, malnutrition and secondary
anemia. MIX II similarly prepared
from the soy bean. already an impor-
tant source Of oil for margarine and
soaps. This milk, which may be freed
from It's strong bean odor by heating
to boiling pci,t, contains S.13 per cent
Of casein and 50 ounces Of the beans
are said to yield 46 ounces Of cheese.

Important Scientific Discovery.

The use Of water holding fine sand
In suspension Is a novel plan for sepa-
rating materials Of different specific
gravity. A chemical solution Of q den-
sity somewhat greater than that Of the
lighter material has served In the
laboratory. but this has been CONNER
cially unsatisfactory on account Of the
cost Of the chemicals and the difficulty
Of removing them from the substances
separated. The mechanical mixture
containing sand held up In water by
agitation has been found to take the
place Of the true solution Of the same
density. II Il stated that with quartz
sand and water, coal may be freed
from its ordinary impurities. and mag
netic iron ore sand gives q fluid Of
sufficiently high specific gravity to
float quartz, limestone and feldspar,
while such heavy particles a. those
Of galena ore or metallic copper may
be used for fluids to float on stin heav-
Ter solids.

What Is Sugar.
By the u. s Food
Administration

Sugar is q food as well as q flavor.
One Of the simple food lessons the
United States food administration has
driven home is Food Is Fuel for Fight
ers." Sugar Is one Of the conspicuous
fuel foods. Its great advantage In that
It Is quickly burning, and gives 10 en-
erg to the body more rapidly than
other kinds.
The commercial granulated sugar We
buy at the store II mot the only sugar
on the shelf" Some Of these other
sugars have popular names which de-
note their origin. such as grape sugar,
fruit sugar, milk sugar and malt sugar.
Their technical names are, In order.
glucose or dextrose; fructose lactose |;
maltose.
The beet sugar or cane sugar that
We buy from the grocer Is also an
"ose." II Is called ~sucrose."
The department Of agriculture tells
% that while the canes and the sugar
beet are the only commercially Inn
portant sources Of sucrose, this form
Of sugar Is also found In the stems
and roots Of sorghum and cornstalks; |;
In the carrot, turnip and sweet pota-
to; In the sap Of some trees, such as
the date palm and sugar maple; In
almost all sweet fruits, and In the
nectar of flowers.
When q sucrose, or ordinary su-
gar, is taken into the body and goes
through the process Of digestion, II Is
changed into glucose and fructose.
Lactose goes through much the same
process, forming glucose and galact-
OSe. Maltese, too. changes into giu-
cose.
Glucose is a simple sugar very easy
to digest. As II II manufactured to
day, 1t contains absolutely no harmful
substances.
We need to remember that al the
sweeteners the United States food ad-
ninistration asks rs to use In place Of
sugar" are sugars too, and though
not always In as convenient q form,
they give approximately the same food
value and flavor.

Most threshing committees have for
