Ohl~den suidsOandy. - Give .children plenty of gur 'uga'r, taffy and butter scotch and they'll have little need 'of cod liver oil, shys Dr. Woods Hutchinson In, Woman's Home Companion. In short, sugar Is, after meat, bread and butter, easily our next most it ortant tnd necessary food. Yotr#J'n put the matter to a test very easily. Just leave off the pie, pudding or other desserts at your lunch or midday dinner. You'll be as - tonished to find how quickly you'll feel "empty" again and how "unfin ished" the meal will seem. You can't get any workingman to accept a din ner pall without pie In it. And he's absole:tly right. The only thing that can take the place of sugar here is beer or wine. It is a significant fact that the free lunch counters run in connection with bars furnish every Imaginable thing except sweets. Even the restaurants and lunch grills at tached to saloons or bars often refuse to serve desserts of any sort. They know their business! The more sugar and sweets a man takes at a meal the less alcohol he wants. Conversely, nearly every drinking man will tell you that he has lost his taste for sweets. The more candy a nation con sumes, the less alcohol. The Mayor of Berlin. One of the principal requirements of a mayor in Germany Is unqualified hon esty, for in the municipal administra tion of Germany graft in any form would not be tolerated. To become the moyor of a city like Berlin the ap plicant must-have established his repu tation for effiilency in governing other German cities. His career is carefully scrutinized by the members of the town council who select him, for not only must he be competent and suc cessfully perfor-m the duties of his high position, but still so young lp likely to . remain competent for many years. for a mayor in Prussia is elected for a term of twclvp years and if not re elected after that period Is entitled to a life pension of half the amount of his salary. After 'a service of six years his pension is one-fourth of his salary and after serving twenty yeavs two thirds. Ie need not necessarily be a resident of Berlin at the time of his appolutment-in fact, the mayor is usu ally chosen from the residents of other cles. Culture In West Africa.
