Children who are required to

They get the habit.
Every boy and every girl has a

Self is encouraged, nurtured and
developed through the plastic
years of childhood, 1t dominates
the child's character. If that Bet

MIX WATER

A. machine has been perfected
which makes possible the mixing
of oil and water. The apparatus
works on the principle that it is
possible to sheer liquid particles,
provided the proper speed is main
tanned and a very close gap. This
is accomplished by revolving two
discs in opposite directions and
forcing the material through the
small space between them. This
space can be adjusted by O. micro

thousaDdth of an inch. The ma,

Mary Jane found a picture in
q Public Library book. 1t was
exactly the picture that she
wanted to paste beside a little
poem i'm her scrap-boOk. She
looked on the other side OF
the sheet and found a blank page.
''rhere isn't a word on the

So she got a razor blade,

slicing the picture from the book,
when something held her hand.
She hesitated a moment, then

poleon l was the first to give commer
cial application to the discovery in his
wars against England for world SUI
premacy. The British naval blockade
prevented ane sugar from the tropics
from reaching France and confronted
the nation with a sugar famine.
$50 Napoleon determined to make
France independent of other countries
for its sugar supply by utilizing sugar
beets. He set aside huge tracts of
land, compelled the planting Of sugar
beets by imperial decree in 1911 and
within W years financed the erection
Of 334 beet sugar factories.
Impetus given to beet culture by
Napoleon carried the industry to the
United States where 1t was first IN.
dertaken at Northampton, Mass, in
1888. From this beginning beet sugar
manufacturing has developed into a
great American industry representing
an investment Of $200OOO,0O0 in fac.

would transform the finer fats into a
