The Duty of Spending
• Oneof the causes of the present
industrial depressiop it the short-
sighted economy of those whose
spending power has not been seri-
ously curtailed. The fact is easily
established by the hank returns
showing increases in deposits.
Sincd thousands of .ina,nufaciturers',
wholesaler's' and retailers' employ-
ees .have been threwn. out of work,
or have had their wages 'reduced,
ii, is evident that their bank ac-
counts must have either disappear-
ed or. decr'eased' Consequently the
total savings bank deposits could
only increase by suh.sta,ntial ad-
ditioner,to the emcoarnte eel those
whose incapaes hake escaped the
general cut: Snob persons are put-
ting their surpluses late the hooks
instead of 'spending them. This
means that they 'are going without
clothe, furniture, Machinery, and
many other articles in order to in-
crease ;their savings. ,
The effect becomes 'apparent in

The exposure to the air and the
friction evaporate the syrup,
which contains most of the color-
ing matter, and facilitates oxi-
dization of the carbon in the sugar,
which is always white, contains
eleven atoms of oxygen to twelve
atoms of carbon and eleven atoms
of hydrogen.
The syrup drained from the same
sugar in the refining process net
onlY contains more in• less coloring
matter, but has a, smaller propor-
tion of oxygen tu the amount of
carbon.
Still another reason why sugar is
Whitened in pulling is that this
'operation, like the crushing pro-
cess when applied to rock candy,
one of the purest forms of sugar,
destroys or impairs its power of
absorbing light, and causes it to
reflect all the elementary colors 'in
each ray, which, of course, results
in white light.

Death An Integral Part of Life

Terrible.
