What Love- S
Actions Tell

Sometimes husband and wife hate
each other but are so stiff necked
with pride that they don't want the
ncighborhood to guess it, and so
are unduly affectionate and loving
in public. These rules will not APP
ply to that sort of people. How
ever, for the ordinary couple the
following rules will tell to a fair
degree Of accuracy just how long
the ordinary couple has been mar
. ried:
If he wants her TO read aloud and
she will-thcy'vc been married ono

II she tries to make him go out
alone in the evening, but he just
won't-undcr six months.
II she tries to make him stay
home in the evening and he posi-
lively won't-five years.
If he talks shops and she listens
under six months.
II he says that her mother is an
cold darling" and her father a
"brick"-onc week.
If she says that she would like
to know his family better-one
week.
If he insists that n friend comes
out home to meet the best little
woman in the world"--one month.
And then If he says mo, no; /

Adulterated
Sweets
BY Brice Belden. NJ. ID.

=
A GREAT many of the sweet
"A foods and CONNECTIONS which
we eat are adulterated. In
the case of sugar products this
generally means that there is
present in some degree material
which has adhered to the sugar
during the process of refining,
such as. for instance, some OF the
tin salts used in the process of
washing the sugar. There Is
practically no danger OF adultera-
ton with white earth or flour In
this country, but there have been
cases OF adulteration with deI-
trose.
Our sweet syrups are for the
most part not pure maple or cane
sugar, but contain TO some degree
glucose, melted brown sugar. or
molasses. Table syrups are near
ly always made Of glucose which
has been colored and favored with
cane or maple syrup. The glu-
cose used for this purpose is
colorless and when molasses Is
used 1t is often bleached by add
ing zinc and acid.
Molasses used for adulteration
of syrups Is very likely to he the
product which comes as the final
result OF the sugar refining process
and is in every sense Of III" word
a waste product. quite lacking In
sugar and not tit to cat
There is still considerable adul-
iteration included in the manu-
facture Of cheap candy, as in the
addition of poisonous coloring ma
terial such as anilin dyes. Some
candies have been found 10 be
coated with shcllac dissolved In
wood alcohol, to keep out the
moisture, and others to have been
bleached with supplies.
One of the most interesting or
these impositions on the public Is
the use of furniture glue in place
OF gelatin in candy manufacture.
The most common adulteratlon Is
the use OF starch as "A fillcr used
especially in penny candy An
other characteristic Of cheap candy
is the presence Of stearin and lard
fats in place of chocolate.
Honey is one of the things most
extensively adulterated and it has
become almost Impossible to OBJ
tain pure honey in city markets.
Glucose favored with minimum
amount of honey is the substitute
sold in this case.

Finally, my point is that the

be discarded. If the facts were all

little that is better than beggary.
The new type of family, now slowly
emerging. is one of full co-opera-

Lester Jones is continuing his long insistence for more comprehensive report for the last year points out that most of the steamer routes along the tSoutheastern Alaska coast have been sounded but that more drag surveys are required to complete the surveys, of which about fifty five percent have been finished Relative to Norton Sound, the report says additional sur veys are needed and ayers there are
 no existing surveys Of Bering Sea which can be considered of value, ex- cept those made in the vicinity of the Pribloff Islands. The volume covers every branch of the work done by the Coast and Gieodetic Survey during the year in American coast waters and contains large number of maps show ing the work so far completed and the surveys still required to insure safety to navigation.
 In letter to the Nugget accom- panving the volume.

RISE IN VALUE OF GLANDS

Dr Serge Vorsnoff, of the French Academy of Medicine, has got the doc tors. academies and savants of Paris excited by announcing the discovery of the fountain of youth, faucet of youth. or something equally as good for old and decaying folks Indeed. American surgeons, too. have been making rather big claims themselves along this line.
 This Partisan surgeons fountain is the interstitiar' gland which fur nishes fluids to the body that promote vim. vigor and general friskiness. He has taken this gland from an anthro- poid ape, planted it in the flesh of q broken down old gent of 66 years. and now the old gent aforesaid has got more youth than he knows what to do with
 Of course Dr. Noronoff had to ap- propriate the apes gland because he iiIh any young man WnO was willing to give up his ''interstitial" for experiment on the 66-year old gent, but the latter hasn't as vet tried to climb trees or throw his friends down to hunt fleas on 'em, and so the ape gland will probably answer the purpose. if folks will risk going about with part of q monkey in them that may cut lose at any time.
 While positive as to the restoration of vim and vigor. Dr Voronoff is care full to state that gray hair does not return to black. new teeth don't sprout, and weak eyes do not become strong White headed. toothless and wrinkled. the old man is just filled chock full of youthful gaiety-everything in the way of youth except the looks. And We know some old men who are fixed that way now. without any apes "in- terstitial," and they are holy terrors.
 We wonder how high the cost of "interstitial' glands is going to be. - Seattle Star.
