FOOD SCIENTISTS
 RECOMMEND EATING
 IN MID.AFTERNOON
Experiments Show That Sugar in Food or Beverages
 Overcomes Fatigue

Modern business invariably makes its greatest demands on workers during the latter part of the after noon. Yet that is just the time of the working day when vitality is the lowest.
 Recent scientific investigations have proved that this nid-afternoon fatigue can be quickly overcome by eating sweet cakes, a few pieces of candy, a dish of ice sream or the drinking of a sweet beverage. A glass of water sweetened with sugar will revive one in an amazing way.
 The reason for this lies in the quick digestibility of refined sugar. There are few food products that nourish the body so speedily. And when the system is nourished, fatigue is noticeably decreased.
 With practically no loss of time, and very little expense, mid afternoon snack can be enjoyed. Dispensers of sweet drinks and con- fectionery are within the reach of all. As matter of fact. few pieces of candy or sugar can be conve- niently kept in ones desk and eaten when tired. Most foods are more de- licious and nourishing with sugar. The Sugar Institute.

II. Hoffecker will require about.
100 more, making it very plain
that the demand for labor will be
fully up to the supply. True, this
labor, mostly in preparing the
fruit for evaporating and packing
for market is performed by fe-
males thus calling into requisition
a large class that ordinarily have
no reckoning on a pay roll. Young
girls and boys who are mostly de-
pendents on their parents for sup
port can by skill and industry in
these establishments earn the
wages of a laboring man. Messrs.
Hopkins & Paige intend to use
pairing machines, as will perhaps
the other establishments by which
one person can pear ten or twelve
baskets per day.
Messrs. Hopkins & Brother of
Milford, sons of Mr.. E. Hopkins,
who has established a drying
house here, have located at Leip-
sic with the intention of running
three evaporators.
Messrs. George w. & S. TAYLOR

tors, two for Horace Spruance,
one for A. L. Hudson, one for w.
t. Hepburn, of Kennedyville, Md,

A fire has been raging in the
cedar swamps of Sussex for sew
eral days past, and has already
burned over a space of territory
seven miles long and three miles
wide. 1t cleans everything before
it even to the green pine and cedar
timber and the turf to at least two
feet in depth. About $4,000 cedar
rails have already been burned,
with a large number Of hogs and
cattle. All the surrounding coun-
try is threatened with destruction.
More than a hundred people are
fighting against the progress of
the flames, but labor under great
difficulty as the atmosphere is so
dense with smoke it is almost i'm
possible to see their way. Among
those who have lost heavily are
Manain Gum, John Mumford, Eli
sha Long and Elisha Hudson.
