Many Kinds of Sugar

When you say sugar, you near
that white crystalline material
which comes originally from the
sugar cane or the sugar beet. And
that substance is a pure sugar
But it is not the only sugar, by
any means.
If YOU were a chemist you
would call that sugar "sucrose,
and you would remark quite cas-
ually that of course there are 9TH
er sugars.
Some of these other sugars are
"glucose" or "dextrose" or
"grape sugar." "fructose" or
"ievulose" or "fruit sugar.
"lactose" or milk sugar. and
"maltose" or malt sugar.
Honey, corn sugar, maple sugar
and maple syrup, corn syrup and
many other syrups contain one or
more of these "other sugars. In
this sense, all the sugar substi-
tutes are not really substitutes at
all, but are sugars just as cane
sugar is sugar. All fruits contain
sugar of one kind or another.
Dried fruits-prunes, figs, april
cots, dates-contain great deal
of sugar. They can be used by
themselves as sources of fuel for
home fighters.
All these sugars have a very
high food value. That is the Sec
Dnd fact to keep in mind. They
are energy foods and of particular
value in that they act very rapid
Iy in producing energy for the
body to use.
Sugars are not all alike. Some
Of them are more complex than
others. But, in the end, they all
break down into one of the simple
sugars like GLUCOSE" "fruc-
lose" or "galactose. Times

Pay Debts First, Then Buy Bonds

A Fort Pierce merchant, OBJ
serving that certain parties in
debted to him for some time had
purchased Liberty Bonds, asked
this question:
"Should man invest in Liber-
ty Bonds in preference to paying
his debts?"
Our answer then, and now, is
Pay the debts first, then, Liberty
Bonds.
Pay the merchant what you
owe him and let him invest the
money (you owe him) in Liberty
Bonds, for the money you invest
in Liberty Bonds is his money,
and not yours,
Did you ever think about it
that wayY Well, it's the truth,
and there's no kind of argument
that will get you away from it.
Furthermore, when a man
squares his account he is not only
paying a jast debt, but he is also
investing in Liberty Bonds with
the same money, for that's what
the merchant, if he is patriotic
does with it. You simply kill two
birds with one stone.
That the News is not alone III
this view Of it is evidenced by the
recent action of associated retail
credit men Of New York City,
who are distributing the follow
ing notice among their " charge"
customers.
AT this time, when the United
States government is doing its ut
most to stamp out waste wherever
waste exists, it should be one of
the obligations of the shopping,
public to pay its bills promptly. |
By so doing men and women en-
gagged in writing dunning letters
and other collection work would |
be released for more important
labor The saving thus made
would give the merchant an OPP
,portunity to invest it in Liberty
Bonds or subscribe to the Red |
Gross.
y "Unproductive effort must be
eliminated. Therefore, it is the
duty of every one to cooperate
by prompt payment Of his bills.
Why not begin now" Eft. |

In 1898 the death rate in the
regular army from all causes was
20.14 to the thousand. By 1900
it had been reduced to 7.78; by
1850 5,14. That is probably
the lowest army death record in
the world. At least it is better
than the record of the japanese
army, which has been the wonder
and goal of medical men ever

 Such a request will be made by Hamp Williams, federal food admins, trator for Arkansas, to the ministers of the state, and it is more than likely there will be d unanimous response. for the ministers have been a very im- portant factor in patriotic work. Fur thermore, according to Mir. Williams. there is excellent reason for special message from the pulpits of Arkansas on food conservation. Relative to this feature he said.

WOOD PRICES UP
 DURING THE GOLD
CITY COMM SHOWERS MAY TAKE ACTION BY PASSING PRO-
 Hi5lTlVE ORDINANCE.
Consumers of Wood Are Usually Among the Poorer Class and the High Prices Win Not be Tolerated in Future.

When the report reached City Man aged Weaver yesterday that some of the county dealers were asking $s or more for loads of stove wood consider ably less than a cord, he took the mat ter up with City Attorney Mcconnell. who gave the opinion that the city commissioners had the right to pro hibit persons who charged exorbitans pries from selling wood in the city.
 Mir. Weaver is continuing the inyes- tigaton and may ask for such an or dinance
 T have foud that it is the poor peo- pie for the most part who suffer from the material increase in the price of wood said Mr Weaver yesterday. One case was reported uo me where a load or wood, about half a cord, was held for $S, and that price is out of all reason. When the country people had cotton on their hands that had to be disposed of they came to the city and persons here bought cotton who did not want it. The price was low, but al that the farmer had to have the help, and he got it. Now the city resi- dent who uses wood finds the market is short and that the dealers are try ing 10 get hold-up prices, and | think it is time that we take steps 10 stop this. Almost all of the poorer people depend on wood, and the increased de- mand hits these people who can not afford to stand it."
