8 HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel In Praise of Beet Sugar Sugar making seems to be the most important industry in all the world, for it concerns every individual on the globe. All of us must have sugar in some form, it is necessary to every liv ing person. Had not a German chemist discov ered, in 1747, that sugar could be man ufactured from beet juice it is quite likely that this necessity would be among our most costly foods. But mod ern methods of manufacturing srtgar from beets makes it possible for this product to compete on equal terms with cane sugar in the markets of the world. Mr. W. D. T-ippert, secretary of one of the great western sugar companies and a noted aunthority on sugar mak ing writes that during the early years of beet stijjar industry some inferior eugar was put on the market, but this was due to faults in manufacture. To disguise the yellow tinge of such sugar & little bluing was added, and some times in cooking syrups a scum would rise and this annoyed the home cook. Now beet suunr is produced in such purity that bluing is not required and it has not been used in the best beet sugar since 1907. The fallacy that preserves and jel lies made with beet sugar will not ob tain the proper consistency has been exposed time and again. Many things prevent jellies from "jelling." If the weather be very rainy, fruit will be tart, and lacking in the necessary pectin, and no amount of sugar, ■whether beet or cane, will help it to jelly.

Gorgas * * Good Reasons For Laying Coal How I—You1 —You save 50c on each 2,000 lbs. The money spent for coal this month is equal to an investment earning more than 10 per cent. 2 —You get better quality coal. The coal is not rushed through the break ers in an effort to till all orders received as is the case in winter. The less time taken the poorer the preparation. 3—You get less slate in coal. The busier the mine operators are the faster the coal goes past the breaker boys, who pick out the slate. The result is lots of slate gets past the boys—you get the slate. 4—You get cleaner coal. Coal shipped in winter is often frozen solid in the cars. Sometimes it is necessary to use picks and bars to remove the coal. Being wet and frozen, it is impossible to screen out the tine dirt.

Before the present war Germany and Frahce secured practically all their su gar for canning and preserving from the sugar beet and during the Spanish war and at different times since, raw beet sugar has been imported at our refineries and consumers have been un able to tell if it was beet or cane sugar. We now have a demand for all the sugar we can "produce and we are de veloping the production of enormous tonnage of beets to the acre for manu facturing sugar. The marvelous progress made in the industry justifies great hopes for its fu ture. The only drawbacks to the pro duction of this sugar in its perfection is the shortness of the season, frost being fatal to the raw material, and the high rate of labor in this country.

From a dreamy little villa, whose walls were streaming with bougaln rlllea, Miss Redmond looked.over A 1 glers, over the tumult and hum of it, to the sea. Tremont, by her side, looked at her. From head to foot the girl was In white. On one side the bougainvillea laid Its scarlet flow ers against the stainless linen of hei dress, and on her other arm was the Red Crosß. The American girl and the French man had become the best of friends She considered htm a sincere com panlon and an unconscious confed erate. He had not yet decided what he thought of her, or how. His prom lee to remain on the yacht had beei broken and he paid his godmothei and Miss Redmond constant vlsitß a< their villa, which the marquise rentei for the season. There were times when Tremor* thought Miss Redmond's exile a fa natical one, but he always found hei fascinating and a lovely woman, anc he wondered what it was that kep' him from laying his title and his for tune at her feet. It had been under stood between the godmother anc himself that he' was to court Mlsi Redmond a' l'amerlcalne. "She has been brought up In suet a shocking fashion, Robert, that noth ing but American love-making will appeal to her. You will have to make love to her, Robert. Can you do It?* "But, marraine, I might as we! make love to a sister of charity." "There was la Belle Heloise, and n< woman is Immune." "I think she Is engaged to some American cowboy who will come and claim her, marraine." His godmother was offended. "Rubbish!" she said. "She is en gaged to no one, Bob. She is an j jj Sang for the Sick. idealist, a Rosalind; but that will not prevent her from making an excel lent wife." "She is certainly very beautiful," said the Due de Tremont, and he told Julia so. "You are very beautiful," said the Due de Tremont to Miss Redmond, as she leaned on the balcony of the villa. The bougainvillea leaned against her breast. "When you stood in the hos pital under the window and sang to the poor devils, you looked like an angel." "Poor things!" said Julia Redmond. "Do you think that they liked it?" "Liked it!" exclaimed the young man enthusiastically, "couldn't you sec by their faceß? One poor devil sata to me: 'One can die better now. Monsieur. There was no hope for hiT>- it srems.' Tremont. and Marquise d'Ksclig nac had docilely gone with Julia Red mond every da? at a certain hour to the different hospitals, where Julia, after rendering some slight services to the nurses—for she was not need ed—sang for the sick, standing in the outer hallway of the building open on every side. She knew that Sabron was not among these sick. Where he was or what sounds his ears might hear, she could not know; but she sang for him, and the fact put a sweetness In her voice that touched the ears of the suffering and uplifted those who were not too far down to be' uplifted, and as for the dying, it helped them, as the soldier said, to die. She had done this for several days, but now she was restless. Sabron was not in Algiers. No news had been brought of him. His regiment had been ordered out farther into the desert that seemed to stretch away into Infinity, and the vast cruel sands knew, and the stars knew where Sabron had fallen and what was his history, and they kept the secret The marquise made herself as much at home as possible In Algiers, put up with the inefficiency of native servants, and her duty was done. Her first romantic elan was over. Sabron had recalled to her the idyl of a love affair of a quarter of a century be fore, but she had been for too long Marquise d'Escllgnac to go back to an Ideal. She pined to have her niece a duchess, and never spoke the unfortunate Sabron's name. They were surrounded by fashion able life. As soon as their arrival had been made known there had hew a uunui or cards ana a passing 01 carriages and automobiles, and this worldly life added to the unhappl ness and restlessness of Julia. Among the guests had been one woman -whom she found sympathetic; the woman's •yes had drawn Julia to her. It was Comtesse de la Maine, a widow, young as herself and, as Julia said vastly better-looking. Turning to Tremont on the balcony, when he told her she was beautiful, she said: "Madame de la Maine Is my ideal of loveliness." The young man wrinkled hts fair brow. "Do you think so, Mademoiselle? Why?" "She has character as well as per fect lines. Her eyes look as though they could weep and laugh. Her mouth looks as though It could say adorable things." Tremont laughed softly and said: "Go on, you amuse me." "And her hands look as though they could caress and comfort. I like hei awfully. I wish she were my friend." Tremont said nothing, and she glanced at him suddenly. "She says such lovely things about you, Monsieur." "Really! She is too indulgent." "Don't be worldly," said Miss Red mond gravely, "be human. I like you best so. Don't you agree with me?" "Madame de la Maine is a very charming woman," said the young man, and the girl saw a change come over his features. At this moment, as they stood so together. Tremont pulling his mus tache and looking out through the bougainvillea vines, a dork figure made its way through the garden to the villa, came and took its position under the balcony where the duke and Miss Redmond leaned. It was a na tive, a man in filthy rags. He turned his face to Tremont and bowed low to the lady. "Excellency," he said in broken French, "my name is Hammet Abou I was the ordonnance of Monsieur le Capltaine de Sabron." "What!" exclaimed Tremont, "what did you say?" "Ask him to come up here," said Julia Redmond, "or, no—let us go down to the garden." "It is damp," said Tremont, "let me get you a shawl." "No, no. I need nothing." She had hurried before him down the little "stairs leading into the gar den from the balcony, and she had be gun to speak to the native before Tre mont appeared. In this recital he ad dressed his words to Julia alone. "I am a very poor man, Excellency," he said in a mellifluous tone, "and very Bick." "Have you any money, Monsieur?" "Pray do not suggest it," said the duke sharply. "Let him tell what he will; we will pay him later." "I have been very sick," said the man. "I have left the army. I do not like the French army," said the native simply. "You are very frank," said Tremont brutally. "Why do you come here at any rate?" "Hush," said Julia Redmond im ploringly. "Do not anger him, Mon sieur, he may have news." She asked: "Have you news?" and there was a note in her voice that made Tremont glance at her.. "I have seen the excellency and her grandmother," said the native, "ipany times going into the garrison." "What news have you of Captain de Sabron?" asked the girl directly. W'ithout replying, the man said in a melancholy voice: "I was his ordonnance, I saw him fall in the battle of Dirbal. I saw him shot in the side. I was shot, too. See?" He started to pull away his rags. Tremont clutched him. "You beast," he muttered, and pushed him back. "If you have any thing to say, say it." Looking at Julia Redmond's color less face, the native asked meaningly: "Does the excellency wish any news?" "Yes." said Tremont. shaking him. "And If you do not give it, it will be the worse for you." "Monsieur le Capltaine fell, and I fell, too; I saw no more." Tremont said: "You see the fellow Is half lunatic and probably Knows nothing about Sabron. I shall put him out of the garden." But Miss Redmond paid no atten tion to her companion. She controlled her voice and asked the man: "Was the Capltaine de Sabron alone?" "Except," said the native steadily, with a glance of disgust at the duke, "except for his little dog." "Ah!" exclaimed Julia Redmond, with a catch In her voice, "do you hear that? He must have been his servant What was the dog's name?" "My name," said the native, "Is Hammet Abou." To her at this moment Hammet Abou was the moat important person In North Africa. "What was the little dog's name, Hammet Abou?" The man raised his eyes and looked at the white woman with admiration. "Pitchoune," he said, and saw the effect. Tremont saw the effect upon her, too. "I have a wife and ten children," said the man, "and I live far away." "Heavens! I haven't my purse," said Julia Redmond. "Will you not give him something, Monsieur?" "Wait." said Tremont. "wait What else do you knowT it your informa "Now 9peak Without Reserve." tion is worth anything to us we will pay you, don't be afraid." "Perhaps the excellency's grand mother would like to hear, too," said the man naively. Julia Redmond smiled; the youth ful Marquise d'Esclignac! Once more Tremont seized the man , by the arm and shook him a little. "If you don't tell what you have to say and be quick about It, my dear fellow, I shall hand you over to the police." "What for?" said the man, "what have I done?" "Well, what have you got to tell, and how much do you want for it?" "I want one hundred francs for this," and he pulled out from his dirty rags a little packet and held it up cautiously. It looked like a package of letters and a man's pocketbook. "You take it," said the Due de Tre mont to Julia Redmond, "you take it, Mademoiselle." She did so without hesitation; It was evidently Sabron's pocketbook, a leather one with his initials upon It, together with a little package of letters. On the top she saw her letter to him. Her hand trembled so that she could scarcely hold the package. It seemed to be all that was left to her. She heard Tre mont ask: "Where did you get this, you miser able dog?" "After the bartle," Bald the man coolly, with evident truthfulness, "I was very sick. We were in camp sev eral days at . Then I got better and went along the dried river bank to look for Monsieur le Capitaine, and I found this in the sands." "Do you believe him?" asked Julia Redmond. "Hum," said Tremont. He did not wish to tell her he thought the man capable of robbing the dead body of his master. He asked the native: "Have you no other news?" The man was silent. He clutched the rags at his breast and looked at Julia Redmond. "Please give him some money, Mon sieur." "The dog!" Tremont shook him again. "Not yet." And he said to the man: "If this is all you have to tell we will give you one hundred francs for this parcel. You can go and don't return here again." "But It is not all," said the native quietly, looking at Julia. Her heart began to beat like mad and she lookqd at the man. His keen dark eyes seemed to pierce her. "Monsieur," said the American girl boldly, "would you leave me a mo ment with him? I think he wants to speak with me alone." But the Due de Tremont exclaimed in surprise: "To speak with you alone, Mademoi selle! Why should he? Such a thing is not possible!" "Don't go far," she begged, "but leave us a moment, I pray."

' THE ONSET BY BRYAN WALLER PROOTOR ("BARRY CORNWALL") That grand old English poet Bryan Waller Proctor, who wrote generally under the pen name of Barry Cornwall, is much less known in this country than he deserves to be, —much less known to our people than he was a generation or more ago. He never wrote anything more vivid than the little battle sketch here presented. The "red rose," introduced in the last stanza, refers to the insignia of one of the contending parties during the long civil war that rent England when the rival houses of York and Lancaster were battling for supremacy. The Lancaster party wore the red rose; the followers of the house of York, the white rose. • Sound an alarm! The foe is come!

Supreme Court Upholds It as Against Hanging Washington, April 6. —The Supreme Court has affirmed the judgment of the highest, court of South Carolina in the case of Joe Malloy, a .negro, convicted of murder, who appealed from the sentence of death by electrocution on the ground that it was less humane than death by hanging and that the law substituting electrocution for hang ing had been passed after his crime was committed and was therefore ex post facto as to him and unconstitu tional. The South Carolina court found as a matter of fact that electrocution was less painful and more humane than hanging and denied relief.
