plant, has it's insects. and the Southern grass worm and the sugar-cane beetle are the most destructive pests. These are destroyed by burning off the ground and thus killing the larva be- fore the cane begins to grow. The weather, too. has much to do with good cane and too much moisture will frequently ruin an entire crop.
 Making Sugar
 At the great sugar plant in Cuba the cane is cut at a certain time when the juice is at it's best and hauled on carts pulled by oxen to a railroad which covers miles of the plantation. It is then drawn to the mill by small engine and each car pulled under a huge derrick where a chain is placed around the cane. A carload is lifted at a time and the cane conveyed through two corrugated rollers which break it and prepare it for the heavier pressure to be applied by the next rol- lers. The hydraulic pressue of the rollers is increased at each successive set until 90 per cent. to 95 per cent. of juice is taken from the cane. The crushed dry cane is used for fuel for

the engines which do the work on the day following.
 The pure juice pours from the cane into troughs where lime is added and the juice and the mixture heated to boiling. Various compounds of lime formed with the organic and phos- phoric acids cause the impurities to rise to the surface. There are Several ways of getting rid of these impurities. In some factories sulphur gas is used while in others 1t is passed through filter presses. The quality of the cane decides the manner of clearing the juice. The next process is evapora- ton, which in tls modern sugar mills is carried on under vacuum pans to avoid loss. The average workings of a, sIgar plant are rather difficult to de- scribe in a manner which can be readily understood by a layman, as the chemists and men around the fac tories speak only in technical terms. However. the writer will try to make a description of this interesting proc ess as plain as possible.
 The vacuum pans are arranged in a series of one. two, three and even more. In the first vessel a lower vac

 Sugar As Food
 Sugar is regarded as one of the greatest food values and is considered a fat former and carries a value Of 1,6S0 caIories per pound. In some countries where the cane is grown the natives are fond of chewing it and in several towns in Cuba men have instruments very like the cider presses of the north which they use to squeeze out the cane juice and sell il by the glass.
 Much is said by the physicians at present as to the disastrous results of a diet containing too much sugar. Some contend that organic diseases of the liver and kidneys are often the result of an over consumption of sugar It is, however. agreed by them that the amount of sugar demanded i for normal and healthy nutrition de- bends upon the condition of the body and no special rules can be given to 1 suit the great mass of people.

 In 1-51 it was introduced into what is now Louisiana by the Jesuit Fathers of San Domingo. With the plants came the negroes. who knew how to caro for the cane in it's growth. It grew IuHuria aly, but the manufactur- ing of it into sugar was unsuccessful for some time. Everything had to be done by hand and the instruments used were crude and cumbersome. 4 portion of the juice was extracted from the cane and subjected to puri- fcation by being evaporated in kettles and the moIasses allowed to drain off. Gradually the chemists and machin- ists coIIaborated in fixing up mills. where great quantities of cane could be handled and modern sugar fac tories were set up in the West Indies and in our Southern States. for sugar cane is a tropical plant thriving in warm climates without much aid from man. Especially is this true in Cuba and Hawaii. although each of these countries has an ''cEper5mental sta tfon.'' where chemists continue to try out new fe1t5izers in order to make the land produce as much as possible.

 For many years England has been growing so democratic that it was pre- dicted that Edward VII would be the last sovereign of that land but his son George V still sirs on firm throne much beloved by the people. Rather modest and shy in his demeanor the English people never really knew the King before the war, but the suffering of the soldiers seems to have brought out all his kindness of heart and his sympathy for their trials at the front won all his subjects.
