fine FLAVORS BRING
Joy TO Eating
Sugar is the Greatest Condi-
mental Food in the World

Flavor! How much that means
to all growing children and to all
adults who enjoy their meals. What
delight flavor brings to the palate.
What satisfaction to a jaded appe-
tite. And what flavor surpasses the
unique sweetness of sugar?
The sentences above were not
spoken, as might be supposed, by
a great chef or even by a successful
woman cook. They are the words
of an eminent scientist, spoken
while he was discussing the subject
of sugar and diet.
Dieticians, medical specialists and
scientific authorities all emphasize
the Importance of a varied, bal
anced diet. And how many of the
useful foods are practically taste
less. How many worthwhile foods,
if taken straight" would be so
monotonous that we would soon tire
of them. This is where, sugar enters
the domain of the healthful diet. A
pinch of sugar used in the cooking of
vegetables preferably cooked with
little water) makes these important
foods fresher, more colorful and
more delightful to the taste. A dash
of sugar makes the eating of fruits
and cereals a positive pleasure.
The well-informed woman uses
correct amounts of sugar in making
milk desserts - junkets, custards,
buildings, etc.-thus helping her
family to eat the needed quantity
of milk. Remember stewed fruits,
cakes and cookies and ice cream
for dessert. A bit of sweet makes the
meal complete. The Sugar Institute.

Arctic Explorers Remain Normal on
Flesh Diet.
Rn Scicnce Scrrice


BOSTON, Aug. 21.-The much
mooted question, whether a white
man can live on meat alone and re-
main healthy, has again been given
a critical scientific test by group
of Cornell university medical college
psychologists and decided IL the af-
firmative. This was disclosed here
today, when DR.. E. F. Dubois, w.
S. Mcclellan, H. j. Spencer and e.
A. Falk reported on their researches
before the Thirteenth international
physiological congress.
Two arctic explorers were kept
under observation for the period of
a year, during which time they ate
nothing but meats of number of
varieties, and drank nothing but
meat broths. black tea and water.
During the first month Of the ex-
pertinent the men lost five or ten
pounds apiece, but after that their
weight remained constant.
Increased blood pressure. the
trad S.onai consequence of a high
meat diet, did not develop; neither
did the kidneys show any evidence
of damage. There were no signs Of
lack of vitaminS or any other in
furious results. The men remained
physically and mentally normal
throughout.

ent inaccessible. It would enable tourists to visit Alaska by automo- bile.
 Starting at Fairbanks the road would follow the present Richard son highway 100 miles to McCarty. From there a new route to the Ca- radian line must be built. Virtu- ally all new construction would be necessary to Hazelton. some 1000 miles from Fairbanks. From Ha- zelton the route would follow 500 miles of existing highway to Van- couver, B. C., and Seattle. Branches from the main route would be constructed to Juneau and Ketchikan on the coast of southeastern Alaska. From Fair banks the coast can be reached over the s71-mile Richardson high way. The proposed road goes through country where the snow fall is light and if traffic were suffi- ciently heavy it could be kept open all year.
 The association will ask the Ca nadian and American governments to finance the project, each paying haf. The movement, which started here, has spread to all the larger towns of Alaska, branches of the association being formed in many places.

MOTHER 0F { HELD
 FOR SELLING H00CH
One Child in Arms, Four Others
 in Court !

Carrying one child in her arms and trailed by four others of whom she is the mother. Mrs, Josie swe- chawlak, 70. of 2sS North street. took the witness stand in police court today and denied that she sold liquor in her home and that she had told police she was earning between $S and $10 weekly by 50 doing. She was warned by Judge Stanley J. Ira ceski that she must not only stop selling liquor but she must not even have any of it in her home, and if she is caught violating the law again she will be jailed and her children placed in the county home.
 Mrs. Swechawlak's husband is 8 patient in the hospital for the insane in Middletown, and she has one child in New York besides the five who were in court with her. Last night, one of the children came to Officer John Griffen on Hartford avenue and complained that there was a disturbance at home. Officer l.. E. Harper happened along and both officers investigated, finding that Andrew Jacersky, 3s. of s5 Franklin street. had made the dis turbance because of being refused admittance to Mrs. Swechawlak' $ tenement.
 On being placed under arrest on the charge of breach of the peace. he "squealed" on the woman, telling the police he had bought liquor from her for 25 cents drink. Questioning her, the officers obtained admission on which they based the charge of violation of the liquor law. Some of the quotations were answered in English while others necessitated the use of her boy as interpreter. Super numerary Officer Meehan was pres- ent during the interrogation.
 The officers learned that Mrs. Swechawlak received 36 weekly from the public welfare department but it has not been sufficient. in her opinion, 50 she went into the busi- ness of manufacturing liquor for sale. She admitted she charged 2s cents drink. and the still" and a quantity of liquor were taken as ev- idence.
 Called to the witness stand, Mrs swechawlak denied the allegation. and claimed not to have understood what the officer meant when the, asked her about the sale of liouor Judge Traceski was not entirely sat, isfied that she actually had under stood the questions but he finally warned her to tell the truth abou it, still she insisted that she haf the liquor only for the purpose O entertaining her friends. Question ed further. she said something abou getting shoes for liquor.
 Mrs. Swechawlak had a IS day suspended jail sentence hangin, over her for a previous offence, bu Judge Traceski remarked that i would hardly be fair to enforce il in view of her circumstances, bu he added a 30 days sentence an; suspended it. with the warning. In the case of Jacersky, a fine o S10 and costs was imposed.
