Moreover, candy is the most expensive
form in which sugar is sold. Candy costs
all the way from IS cents to dollar pound
according to the varieties, to who makes it
and where it is bought. The price of sugar
as regulated by the food administration is
practically restricted to 9 or 10 cents
pound, and the candy in which the same
sugar contents are sold at one dollar must
be, one would think, Is cents pure profit.
Another eNtravagant place to buy suga,
is in some OF the New York city hotels.
One OF the largest has on its menu this item:
Sugar, two Jumps, cents; powdered sugar,
a portion, 10 cents.
do not know the exact size of the portion
of powdered sugar allowed, but | venture to
say it is not more than one or two table
spoonfuls. The amount indicated by lump;
is better defined. They are cubes of white
sweetness or the domnoes which are BIT
larger. In order to see just how much this
hotel gets for its sugar, have weighed OUT
pound on my postoffice scales. By actual
count it contained o. dominoes or Jumps,
which, at the rate of cents for two, EQUALS
ST. per pound.
1t may be that the hotel charges this high
price to restrict the consumption, but |
doubt it. In the height OF the roasting ear
season have paid there as much as Is cents
for one ear of corn. Now it takes 600 large
ears to make "a barrel of field corn, which
even at the present high prices cost but lit
tie more than one cent per ear. At the rate
of 25 cents per ear, that hotel gets $3.50 :
barrel for its corn, and, if so, why not this
price for sugar?

tore being boiled down to get out the sugar.
This is done by various processes. which
make the sugar water as clear as pure aco-
mol. Inc water is now passed through
tanks filled with steam pipes, the liquid
growing thicker and thicker until it turns to
slrup and then to mixture of sugar and
molasses
lhis mixture is refined in about the same
way as cane sugar, and at the end it be-
comes the sweet, white stuff we use on our
tables. 1t is now just like cane sugar. Pure
sugar is the same everywhere, and no pure
sugars are sweeter than others The great
quantities OF jams and jellies which were
formerly exported from France and England
were sweetened with sugar that came from
the beet.

two crops is about equal. The world over,
there is now something like 100000 acres
devoted to cane every year and about 6,OOO,
600 acres devoted to the sugar beet. The
total area in sugar is thus about 10000, 600
acres, SO little that if all the plantations
could be joined together they would not
cover space more than half the size OF
either Ohio or Kentucky
1t is now 10 years since Margraf discov-

dustry is only about 100 years old Cane
sugar is said to have been known to the Chi
nese something like 1000 years ago. The
plant was taken from China to India and
from there Jumps of sugar were carried to
Greece, where it bore the name of Indian
salt. 1t was also called honey front reeds
and said to be white and brittle like gum
Some claim that sugar originated in In
dia, and the Hindoos have legend that
one of their saints created sugar cane and
made sugar in order that he might use it as
heavenly food for a prince who wanted to
have the delights of paradise while still upon
earth.
Later sugar was COMPOUNDED with mama,
some supposing it to have been the mirac-
ulous food of the children of Israel upon
their march across Sinai, and in the middle
ages the crusaders brought back some from
Palestine which probably had come there
from Africa, where it was known for long
time before it arrived in Europe In 1860
A. D. sugar was sold in London for II cents

was inaugurated there the industry rapidly
grew. In the seventeenth century, when
the island had only $4,000 people it had 100
sugar plantations Today Cuba produces
more sugar than any other part of the world.
Its crop last year was about 6,O0O,OOO,OOO

are the volcanic soil of Hawaii and lava, and

India has at times led the world in cane SUI

ana now let us see what we can do to
help the sugar famine in Europe The food
administration will do all in its power, but
1t depends upon what you and me, and the
99,999,99S other people of the United States
as to whether we can ship goodlv supply
OF sugar to the soldiers and our allies this
winter. 1t depends upon how much CANDY
we eat and how we gorge ourselves with
cakes, pies, buildings and other deserts. 1t
depends upon whether we each use one or
two Jumps or no sugar at all in our coffee
and tea, for all these make up large part of
our sugar consumption, which today is the
greatest of the whole world.
DO you know how much sugar we eat
every year? Our average consumption,
taking every man, woman and child in the
United States into account is 90 pounds or
almost two pounds per week During the
10 years preceding the war our consump-
ton was only 20 or so pounds. We then
ate on the average only 7,OO0,O00,0OO pounds
per year, which was an increase over the
consumption of the preceding decade of
about 43 per cent. 1t is not very long since
we were each eating only 90 pounds per
year, and if we should cut down our rations
to the same amount we formerly used we
would have plenty OF sugar for any one of
our allies. As it is now the French people
have been living. on p pounds per year and
the English and Italians have not more than
that. We are now eating about 20 pounds
each IN excess of our average consumption
during the last 10 years. and 80 pounds
more than during the 10 years before that

NEW TIRE REPAIR
 BOOK PUBLISHED

In line with the nation wide move ment for conservation of pneumatic tires the Miller Rubber Co.,, manufac tGrers of Miller Cleared to- the Road tires, have just issued a new tire re- pair book.
 The book, according to the formal announcement, is expressly designed for the consumer, or car owner. It treats largely with those repairs that can be made at home. but discourages the idea of the motorist attempting extensive repairs when crude work manship is likely to ruin the tire.
 There are certain classes of re- pairs that can be efficiently accom- plished only by expert repair men with extensive repairing equipment-equlp- ment that the layman would never want around his private garage, ' reads the preface to the book.
 Frequent as we'll as some unusual causes of tire trouble are discussed. Whenever it is feasible to do so, from the standpoint. of economy for the tire user. a specific and practical rem edy that has proven economical and serviceable is suggested.
 The information concerning tire repairs says F. C. Millhoff, general sales manager of the company, was obtained from actual experiences in the Miller tire department. There IS no guess work No elaborate art has been introduced simply to attract the readers attention. On the contrary simplicity has been the keynote in the compilation of the work.
 Many illustrations of actual ln- stances of tire trouble are contained in the book, also series of practical hints and suggestions, as well as a comprehensive discussion on rims and the application of tires on various types of rims.
