MANY VARIETIES OF SUGAR
Those Which Are Contained in Dried
Fruits Are Recommended as OF
Very High Food Value.

When you say sugar, you mean that
white crystalline material which
comes originally from the sugar cane
or the sugar beet. And that substance
is 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 casually that, or
course there are other sugars.
Some of these other sugars are "glu-
cose," or "dextrose," or grape sugar; -
''fructose - or 'levulose," or fruit
sugar." 'lactose," or milk sugar;
and "maltose," or malt sugar"
Honey, corn sugar, maple sugar and
maple strip, corn strip and many 9TH
er sirups contain one or more of these
"other sugars" In this sense, all the
sugar substitutes are not really sub
stitutes at all, but are sugars just as
cane sugar is sugar. All fruits con-
tain sugar of one kind or another.
Dried fruits-prunes, figs, apricots,
dates-contain a great deal of sugar.
They can be used by themselves as
sources of fuel for home fighters.
All these sugars have very high
food value. That is the second fact
to keep in mind. They are energy
foods and of particular value in that
they act very rapidly in producing
energy for the body to use.

Beneficence Without Ambition.

At present we behold only the rising
of our sun of empire-only the fair be-
ginnings Of a great nation. We de-
parted early-we departed at the be-
ginning-from the beaten track Of am
bition. Our lot was cast in the age
Of revolution-a revolution which is TO
bring all mankind from state of serv-
itude to the exercise OF self-goyern-
ment-from under the tyranny Of ply
steal force to the gentle sway of opin-
ion, from under subsection TO domin-
ion over nature.
1t was ours TO lead the way-to take
up the cross Of republicanism and
bear ii before the nations. to fight its
earliest triumphs, TO illustrate its puri-
flying and elevating virtues. and by
our courage and resolution, our mod
GRAFTON and magnanimity. to cheer and
sustain its future followers through
the baptism Of blood and martyrdom
of fire. A mission so noble and benev-
client demands generous and self
denying enthusiasm. Our greatness
is to be won by beneficence without
ambition.-William Henry Seward.

Nerves in Sexes Differ.

The late Professor Munsterberg Of
Harvard believed that the sensory
mechanism OF women worked quicker
than that of men. He took the Illus
tration of two sets of wires, corre-
spending to the nerves of the human
body, conducting a current Of cleo
tricity to a certain point. The wires OF
woman's nerves were able TO communi-
cate TO the fixed point. in this case the
brain, the current much more quickly
than the male equipment, and, further
more, reacted TO currents too faint for
mans wires TO take up. The addition
of these subtle stimuli produced in the
receiving center an entirely different
comprehension I'm woman than in man,
Munsterherg argued.-Chicago Exam
liner.

JOKE FOR MODERN BURGLAR
Herrino's Safes, Considered Marvel
Gus Years Ago, Would Be Laughed
at In This Generation.

of a scientist with a large knowledge
of explosives; an old-fashioned safe
would be easy for him TO get into; but
in those days the Herring safes were
considered marvels and absolutely
theft and fireproof.
Herring was born in Shrewsbury,
Vt. and began bis career as grocery
clerk. firing of this after some six
years, he went into the lottery busi-
ness. saved $4,000 and started
wholesale grocery concern In New
York city. A fire and a panic ruined
his business, so he obtained the agency
for the Salamander safes-So named,
probably, because they were able to
come through fire unhurt. He got the
right TO manufacture them later. and
kent on improving and improving them
each year. He once put $1,000 in the
drawer of one. sent ii TO the world $
fair and offered the money 10 any one
who could get into the safe and get
1t. No one got IL.
But nowadays big banks and trust
companies would laugh at these old
square safes. The burglar proof
safe today is round like ball, and has
a door that screws in, leaving no
cracks for explosives. Even If any
were poured into the hinges. the ex-
plosion would only drive the door more
firmly into the casing of the safe.
Herring died in 1881.

Washington, Oct. 24.-"The nations

of the United States to Germany's
latest bid for peace, while notifying
her that on her acceptance of his
terms, the question of an armistice,
which Germany seeks, is to be present
ed TO the governments of the nations
