cities candy men are charging s125

They are justified in charging much

Spell of the Open Fire.

(william Southern. in the Independence No,
EIaminerl
Oh the comfort OF the first fire of
the season! The cracking wood fire
in the fireplace, when nights are
frosty and it's good to be indoors.
One always sees love ana lovers in
the glowing Goals of the sweet wood
fire. The warm gold flames tell of the
first flare of young love and the deep
red Goals OF the constancy of love
tried and proved.
And the visions of lovers weirdly
woven as the spell of the open fire
grows stronger There is the gra-
cious colonial maid in her quaint
hoop skirts. She sweeps a low
curtsy to the powdered gallant who
; bows over her little hand. And the
picture she makes as she goes up
the broad stairway, candle in hand
and. smiling, turns for one more
look
Then we see the Quaker maiden as
she sits spinning by the freight.
while her stern-faced young lover, his
duties all forgot, watches the play Of
the flames on her cheek and neck
where one little wilful curl escapes
from the smooth white cap.
A fire in the open fireplace sets us
dreaming. 1t brings the flash of re-
membered joy; it sets its flames in
the heart of youth and softens the
griefs in the heart o: age.

There never was more sugar in
the United States than there has
been in the last twelve months, but
the consumption has been record
breaking.
Statistics show that within the
last six months our importations
plus our domestic supplies have
given US nearly 1.300.000.0oO more
pounds of sugar than the normal
average. yet we are facing a period
OF rationing and are threatened
with shortage of supply and very
much higher prices
Long ago we were the greatest
sugar eaters of the world, our con-
sumption approximating - pounds
per capita per year. If. as the
sugar figures of the last few
months would indicate. our con-
sumption has increased enormously,
we now are using nearly 100 pounds
Of sugar per person per year
That is startling. The average
consumption of European nations
has been less than 81 pounds per
capita No people other than Amer
leans use more than SO pounds per
capita.
Sugar is good food IL used in
moderation and also is q fine slim

sugar has become immoderate. it
