LOCAL MARKETS ARE
 REPORTED SUGARLESS
Not d Speck of the ''Swect StuT'' on Hand at Many of the City
 Groceries.

But little sugar was to be had this forenoon at several of the Main street markets and grocery stores and proprietCrs claim to have no knowledge of sugar forthcoming. They stated that they were completely upon the jObbers and these have no way of determining just when sugar would arrive and how much would be allotted each of their GUS toners.
 Two of the leading grocery stores and markets on Main street stated to- day that they have had no sugar on hand for the past two weeks and eX- pect that they will have to go that much longer before they receive any One of the local stores has little sugar left and painstaking ways are being employed in distributing it to their customers.
 It is clear that the sugar situation is beginning to pinch some househ elders pretty severely and they are making rounds daily in hope that perchance they may alight on some little supply to carry them along for another day or two.
 The price of pork in the city is slightly lower and the price of beef is stationary. Lard and butter are main- taining their level

CHILDREN FIRST AND

>C Declares Columbia Professor il Discussing Essential Elements
 of Married Life.

Chicago, Nov. 1.--Happincss of man and woman is only a secondary atfair in marriage, the prime purpose of which is to produce robust chil- drcn, Prof. William J. Durant of Co., lumbia university said in lecture at the Sinai social center here last night. "Where there are no chill dren there is no marrage,' he added
 Free love is impossible, the. pro- lessor said, because conquests by a man arc praised by other men, but If a woman had had one free love affair she is held in ridicule and be- titled by her associates
 Most men now marry after they have become incapable of love- the professor continued, and then comes your divorcc."
 "Courts say that divorces are due to cruelty, drunkenness and half a dozen other things, but they are all wrong. The three fundamental req sons for divorce are:
 "1--Thc natural vanity of both
 sexes.
 ''2-Psy ychological ncompatibility.
 ''3-T.ack of children

 ONLY SOFT STUFF
Several Main Street BarrOOmS Open But Harmless Drinks Arc
 the Only Sales.

Saturday some of the local saloons that closed their doors earlier in the week opened to catch the week end trade. Cider soft drinks and near beer wero dispensed over the bars and say eral of the business houses report that they did a fairly good business, con- sidering the drinks being sold. Patrons of the days when real beer and Whis- key with a kick in it were sold, drank these harmless drinks and mourned the good old days.
 If whiskey was sold, it was we'll un- der cover but it certainly was not sold to any excess, for there were but few "drunks' seen in the city over the week end. The general conduct of the places indicated that the dealers are obeying the law Collector Walsh of the internal revenue offices has issued notices to all saloon keepers advising them not to violate the law as ViO- lators will be haled into court.

 That isn't a fact" Secretary Baker said
 But I say it is,' Senator Chamber lain responded. We know it up here"
 '"Oh, of course," MT. Baker said, "When an officer comes up to con- gressional committees and says things that are independent of department views, you class anything that hap pens to him after as punitive punish ment"
 '"Take your own action,'' said tho senator. What did you do to Gen eral Henley for his statement up here?"
 He was not disciplined" Secretary Baker returned. .- What Happened to Ansell?
 "No, you don't call it discipline" Senator Chamberlain remarked. "What happened to Ansell? former acting-judgo advOcate'Seneral.) You put him in a place of innocuous desuctude and reduced him in rank"

 And what became of Adjutant- General Mccain when he thought his office ought not to go under the gen. cral staff? asked Chamberlain.

Vinegar

There are several kinds Of vim
egar but the most common kinds
are white distilled grain vinegar,
and cider vinegar. In all there is
a certain per cent of acetic acid,
in fact the state and federal food
laws demand that there be at least
40 acetic strength in a pure vim
egar. The acetic acid in white vim
egar is derived from grain while
the acetic acid in cider vinegar is
derived from apples. The manu-
facture of white distilled vinegar is
comparatively new process to
that of manufacturing cider vim
egar. We expect to show YOU in
this article, how white distilled
grain vinegar and cider vinegar are
made.
White distilled vinegar is made
from corn and barley malt ground
an cooked with steam for several
hours, it is then let ferment 70
hours then it is run through an al
cohol still In this process it forms
vapor or steam that condenses back
to liquid, this liquid is pure grain
alcohol. This alcohol is poured
slowly over beachwood shavings
placed in tanks which causes the
alcohol to ferment into acetic acid
or distilled grain vinegar. Dis
titled grain vinegar at one time of
it's process was steam, it must be
pure.
Cider vinegar is made from
apples or sweet cider as it is most
commonly called. This sweet cider
is put in large tanks, and let stand
until it becomes hard cider: a
large per cent of this hard cider is
alcohol This hard cider is poured
slowly over beechwOod shaVings
placed in tanks which causes the
alcohol in the hard cider to fer
ment into acetic acid or cider vim
egar IN each case the alcohol
makes the acetic acid, one is a
grain alcohol and the other is a
fruit alcohol. The alcohol in dis
titled grain vinegar is pure and
clean while that in cider vinegar
contains all the filth of the apple.
Distilled grain vinegar is the pur-
est and best vinegar made. All
picking factories use it. Demand
Elk Brand Vinegar in either white
or cider vinegar. We will show
you later why Elk Brand is the
safest to buy. Watch for our article
next week.
