Items of Interest. Not a single infectious disease is Sugar will play a tremendous part known in Greenland., in the ^deliberations of congress at| The 67th congress convenes on the coming session. The problem is Monday> December 2nd. really a very complicated one. First, there are our own growers to be con sidered. Urged on by the agricul tural department, farmers in many sections have devoted their attention to raising sugar beets and to builc ing factories to extract the saccha rine matter from them. Any attempt to reduce the duty on sugar will meet with vigorous opposition -from these. Next is the sugar trust, which is willing to have raw sugar free but wants a tax on the refined product so as to enable it to make an abnor- nal profit. It is|now engaged a war with the best sugar men make them sell their unrefined sugar at a price fixed by itself. Third are the interests of the Hawaiians Fourth is Cuba, to which free entry of her sugar into the United States is a vital condition to prosperity There are really so many wheels within wheels in the sugar conflict that a keen observer will possibly be nonplussed for a while to get the facts, and there is grave danger cf scandal similar to that of some years ago, when several senators were con victed morally of guilt in speculat ing in sugar stocks and were strong ly suspected of yet more reprehensi ble practices. Representative Babcock of Wis consin is in .town, pluckily upholding the tariff measure he stole from the democrats last session, and has since been attempting to force on his own party —with no appreciable results, j, “My idea as to tariff revision is sim pie,” he said. “It is this: Where by changed conditions tariff duties have become exorbitant, far beyond the needs of protection, I would put them where they would amply pro tect labor, but not to a point that would create a monopoly of trade and raise prices to consumers. In other words, if an article costs $1 to be produced abroad and $1.40 to be produced, in this country, I would favor a 50 per cent duty to protect .ourselves; but not 200 per cent, which would simply afford a margin for increasing the price to our own consumers. There is no departure from republican protective tariff principles in that. I reassert that am as ardent an advocate of the re publican doctrine of protection to American industries as there is in this country.” The question this congress will be called upon to an swer is. “Will it permit a tariff duty to remain in force, to enable a trust to pay dividends on watered stock? This is the question that democrats have been asking for, lo! these many many years, only to be overborne by the money that the protected trusts have been able to muster to their de fense. Mr. Babcock means well and if «he and his half dozen supporters would join hands with the democrats they might force action. No one doubts, however, that when it comes to a show-down, they will yield to their caucus rule and vote to main tain the tariff unchanged. The Spanish alphabet is perfect, save for a single silent letter—h Each letter has only vne sound. Ev ery word is spelled as pronounced, and pronounced as spelled. The written language, therefore, is, with a single exception,free from redund ant letters. The chief difficulty in the language to English-speaking people is the inflection of its verbs. These move from one mood and tense to another by terminal chang es, while English verbs move by aux iliaries. In inflection Spanish follows Latin, of which it is a beautiful and richly endowed daughter, so much so that it adopts no word or phrase from other languages. Jutnped on a Ten Penny Nail.

When tired, drink it as a tonic. When hot and thirsty, drink it as a cooler, for it never dis appoints, and dear me, how cheap it is, and how good when one has form ed the habit. Headache almost always yields to the simultaneous application of hot water to the feet and to the back of the head. A towel,folded, dipped in hot wa ter, quickly wrung out and applied quickly over the seat of pain will in most cases promptly relieve tooth ache and neuralgia. A strip of flannel or a towel fold ed several times lengthwise and dip ped in hot water, then sl'ghtly wrung out and applied about the neck of a child suffering with an at tack of croup will usually relieve the sufferer in the course of ten minutes if the flannel is kept hot. Hot water, if taken freely a half hour before bedtime, is one of the best possible cathartics in severe cases of constipation, while it has a soothing effect upon the stomach and bowels. There is no domestic remedy that so promptly cuts short congestion of the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as will hot water when applied promptly and thoroughly.
