WE'RE THE CRUST OF
THEEARTH.
BY HONORA C0sTIGAN.
Director Minnesota Public Health
Association

We are made Of the crust OF the
earth. because we are made from
food. which is plants or made from
plants. which are made from the
soil, which is the crust OF the earth.
The geologist's definition of soil
Is that il Is the superficial layer of
rock waste which with various othe,
materials covers the surface of the
earth more or less completely.
For our purpose. however, We may
say that the soil is the crust of the
earth
This crust contains many OF the
elements which we find in plants
and in our own bodies. Indeed IL
supplies the materials out OF which
the plants and fnslIy-we-are
made. The plants are the little fac
tories which take in these elements
and change them into foods ready
for our use: just as cotton and WOOL
must be made into cloth before they
can be made into clothing.
Have you ever thought about all
the plants as your servants? That
is what they really are. They spend
their lives working for you. so that
you may have plenty TO eat, and
in supplying Nyou with food they
build up your body, and help to
make you strong.
The plants supply US with food
directly when they give US vege>
tables and grains as our food. They
provide us with food indirectly
when they feed the animals and
fowls which later become our foods.
or which give us food in the shape
of milk and eggs.
Let us take beefsteak as an ex-
ample of food obtained indirectly
from the soil. The COW eats grasses
and hardy green plants and grain.
food which man has not been ac-
customed to using. but which are
rich in certain Of the important
elements, and makes this food into
her own body. We eat II as meat.
In that state II is protein from the
cows body.
Milk and eggs are the grains.
vegetables. and grasses which are
predigested, which means that
whatever nourishment the COW or
hen takes in is converted into the
products that we can use.

THIRD PHILHARMONIC
CONCERT SCORES HIT

The meager group of music lovers
who turned out to hear the first two
concerts of the Washington Philhar-
monic Orchestra must have spread the
glad news that the city had a musrcar

chestra. under the leadership OF Helm

at the Kickerbocker Theater, the
original audience was considerably
augmented.
The First Symphony. by Beethoven,
a composition of enhancing beauty,
received that care reverential treat
ment to which it is entitled. The vio-
received that care and reverential
treatment to which it is entitled. The
violins seemed to reveal a beauty of
tone in the lovely lugato of the An
danti con moto seldom accomplished
The program was properly balanced
by the spiritual Norwegian rhapsody,
written by the Frenchiest of French
masters, Edouard Lalo. Here the
original Norwegian melodies are treat
ed in truly French spirit.

pounds each. How much of this has
been consumed and how much stored
no one can tell, for no method OF esti-
mating accurately household supplies
has yet been devised. Our sugar
figures stop when the sugar leaves the
refinery door.
Why we have consumed so much
more than usual is attributed TO diff
ferent causes by different interests.
Prohibition. the general prosperity OF
the country. the marine strike and the
desire TO lay in supplies at this years
prices are four factors in increased
consumption.
The last is the most important. For.
unless government control is continued
in 1920. sugar prices are bound to rise.
Oficials at the United States Sugar
Board told me today. that IL the Nc
Nary bill is passed promptly. there
Is still chance OF negotiating for
the Cuban crop through the Cuban
government. although foreign govern
ments and private bidders are already
active. The Cuban law permits the
President of Cuba to dispose of the
crop during a period which extends
until six months after the declaration
of peace
ACCORDING 10 the board, there viii be
available for distribution to consum-
ers in the district east OF PittsburG
and the AIleghenies a total of between
4oo,oo1 and 10000 tons OF beet sugar.
The sugar year ends with September
20. when the new crop begins coming
on the market. California beet sugar
refining started in September, and this
has been followed by the other beet
sugar States, and the Cuban cane crop
will begin arriving in this country by
the end OF December
The direct way to stop boarding, as
well as assure reasonable prices for
1890 is to pass the McNary bill. This
is the belief not only of the govern
ment officials but also of the sugar re-
finery interests here.

New York, Oct. 1S.-You can have
your sugar in your coffee, enjoy
mothers homemade cake, and even
indulge in the usual ice cream sodas
for the rest OF this year, In spite of
the sugar shortage. il everybody
helps.
There will ne $500 tons Of sugar
available to supply the consumers OF
the United States between now and
December 81. This is 100, 900 tons more
than there was in the last quarter
OF last year.
1t all depends upon what Mr..
Wholesaler, Mr.. Jobber. Mr.. Retailer,
and Mrs. Housewife do In the way OF
boarding. Sugar-hoarding will mean
acute stringency. There are 20,OoI, 900
housewives in the United states: IL
each of them buys but one pound
extra a week, that means 100000
pounds additional sugar, and this
amount for every week from now
until the end of the year would mean
acute shortage in many households.
These are some OF the facts that
i gather after a day spent in the
center of the sugar district" in
Wall Street. where not only the CEN
trail offices of the American Sugar
Refining Company are located. but
also the central Offices OF the United
States Sugar Equalization Board.
which-until December 3l-will exer-
else control over the distribution of
sugr.
The United States in the first nine
months Of the present year has con-
sumed J000 tons of sugar in excess
of the same period last year. or the
equivalent of 100000 barrels of $50
