SUGAR CONSUMPTION DURING
SECOND QUARTER INCREASED

The international sugar committee
gave out this week it's statistical re-
port covering consumption for the sec;
Ond quarter of this year, namely, April
I to June 80. AS indicated by these
figures, the consumption rate for this
period apprOxihates twenty-five pounds
per capita, or an increase of five pounds
over that recorded for the first quarter
which was rated at about twenty
pounds per capita.
Rate Of 90 Pounds for Year
The combined figures show the con
sumption rate for the first six months
of 1918 to have been forty five pounds
per capita, which if it were possible to
maintain for the last half of the year
would bring the yearly consumption
rate up to 80 pounds, or seven pounds
higher than the 1917 yearly rate Of
S3 pounds. Under the present re-
Strictions effective August the at
tainmcnt of any such rate is impossi
bic. Furthermore, any estimate as to
the consumption rate for the balance
of the year would be a speculative one,
as the amount Of sugar the public
will save by conservation after August
| can only be determined when the
end of the year is reached.
The fact that 80 large per capita
consumption is recorded both for the
first six months and for the second
quarter, in view Of the fact that many
of the manufacturers have been re-
stricted during this, period and most
largely so in the second quarter, indir

PLAQUES OF BIBLE TIMES.

Numbers XIV, 8: And those that died
In the plague were twenty and four
thousand"
Leviticus xiv: "And he shall take to
cleanse the house two birds and cedar
wood and scarlet and hyssop. And he
shall kill n of the birds in an earthen
vessel over running water. And he shall
cleanse the house with the blood of the
bird and with the running water, n
with the living bird and with the cedar
wood and with the hyssop and with the
scarlet"
1t is doubtful If these substances
were used in any way except as SYM
bols, and yet the fact that several OF
them are cleansing agents and disin-
fectants is suggestive that they may
have been chosen as symbols by rea-
son of their known qualities as cleans
ers. They are repeatedly referred TO in
the old testament as agents for cleans
ing n purifying.
/ do not know what scarlet was. The
Encyclopedia Britannica says that the
cedar wood Of the old testament was a
juniper n not a true cedar, but the
oils of all the cedars and near cedars
always have been used as antiseptics.
Since the time of the Greeks, and pos
sibly long before, these oils AVE been
used in the treatment of skin diseases.
Hyssop was at one time known as the
+ OF God. Such medicinal proper
ties as hyssop has are due to an aro-
matte volatile oil. All the aromatic vo-
latile oils have antiseptic powers. The
Encyclopedia Britannica says that the
hyssop Leviticus probably was not q
hyssop but a form of wild thyme found
in Palestine. Thyme, orginum, and
other plants of the group owe theil
properties to volatile oils. These oils
are antiseptic.
That running water was Used for
cleansing is stated in many places in
the bible. 1t might have been that the
ancients had some f~oreknowledge of
the cleansing power OF blood.
That disinfectants were needed must
have been apparent to the people OF
that day, for the most awful epidemics
decimated them from time to time.
Some of these ave found their way in
TO the chronicles of the chosen people.
ii. Sam. XX., 1915, reads: $50 the
Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from
the morning even until the time APP
pointed: and there died of the people
from Dan to Beer-Sheba 20, 900 men,"
This must have almost wiped out the
small populations Of that period.
OF another plague we read in Num-
bers xvi: And they that died in the
plague were Ia, 700, beside them that
died about the matter of Korah."
Epidemics Of such proportions are
never heard OF now, nor have they been
known in civilized lands for several
centuries. In the earlier chronicles lit
tie is said about individual ailments.
The records only deal with great de-
vastating epidemics. AS we approach
the period of the birth OF Christ allus-
ions to ailments of the individual and
individual disorders appeal in num-
hers

Since the contemptuous significance at

British in their own land and about their
own heroes, it is highly improbable. de-
spite the lugubrious misgivings of the
citatlantic interpreters of their localisms

such conscientious conviction as to claim
exemption from the duty Of defending

Every boy should finish his school

The individual obligation on the part Of
each and every citizen for service is mani
fest, but ,..e Joys should remember that
they are now serving in the best possible
way by preparing themselves TO serve
more efficiently when the time comes.
What we want now is for the boy in
school or college to finish his education
in order that We may have each year a
dependable output of well educated and
well trained young men.
II is a great mistake for partly educated
young boys TO rush to the colors now. We
don't need them. 1t Is very important
