IL, upon investigation, It should

Haines emphasizes that the health

arisen under q physician,s care
should be investigated.
The experience of other countries,

Says DR.. Haines:

disease. such as typhoid fever or

every reason to believe that by
greater attention to sepsis the
United States can reduce tn great

justified in turning their attention to

DIR. Burgess wrote. 1T has long been
scientifically the most fascinating
and elusive. The human race con-
sumes large quantities of 1T in honey
and strip. Physiologically it Is prob
ably the most easily assimilable of

on poor land or good land. They find
that the tuber at the base of the
artichoke contains as much sugar as
the beet in percentage, and 1t Is one
and three-quarters times as sweet as
the sugar from the beet, and further,
1t can be grown with only half of the
labor required in raising the beet.
Now. this brings to our minds the
opportunity we have of producing the
sugar needed In the United States. 1t

choke turns out the way it is predicted

and produces from 10 to 20 tons per
acre. There is no agricultural
problem connected with the artichoke.
1t Is stored in the ground. Freezing
does not seem to hurt the tuber.
THE demand for levulose for all
purposes, including confectionery
would be enormous were it available
at any price within reason. While
data suitable for estimating cost of
production per pound is not yet avail
able, the surface indications are that
levulose can be produced at a cost
equal to and perhaps less than ordi-

steamer Antinoe the King. the board
OF Trade and Lloyd's have awarded
decoration gifts to the officers and
SeUUeu of the United States liner
President Roosevelt. The official
award in each case is the established
gold medal for Eallantry in saving

The recipients of this decoration
are First Officer .Robert Miller. Third
Officer Thomas Sloan. Fourth officer
frank NJ. Upton, and the crews of the
rescue boats. including the two, UnO
WiIanen and Ernest Heitman, who
perished in the gallant attempt.
Capt. Fried is not included. 1t is
understood that the medal is confined
20 those undergoing actual personal
danger.
The honors TO he conferred upon
Capt. Fried therefore Will take an
other form. The Board of Trade will

and the three officers. Miller, Sloan

the others by its greater value.
It was thought Yesterday that the
King might receive Capt. Fried and
his comrades at the palace, and con

officially announced, and It is now
said that Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister,
president of the Board of Trade, will
present both medals and plate aboard
the Roosevelt on its brief call at
Southampton Saturday.
The LIoyd's awards, distinct from
those of the government, consist of
"LiOvd's silver medal for saving life
at sea" These have been conferred
on Fried, Miller, Sloan and Upton.
with corresponding bronze medals to
the crews Of the rescue boats.
It is probable that the LIoyd's
medals will not be ready before the
Roosevelt sails from SOUTHAMPTON,
but win be presented the next time
the liner touches Great Britain.

WILD ARTICHOKE GIVES PROMISE
OF YIELDING FINEST OF SUGAR
Tests Raise Hope of Commercial Process for Produc-

as Low as Beet Sugar.

1t was true. The much-maligned
artichoke was found to be reeking in
sweetness. 1t was deep-rooted
sweetness, however, that required
considerable persuasion to dislodge.
SO now the bureau has asked Con
gress for an appropriation of $25 900
with which to develop a commercial
process for extracting sugar from
articholleS.
Sweeter Than Beet Sugar.
Representative Brand of Ohio told
the House about these experiments the

account of the process contained in a
