As a mat- ter of fact, only about 40 per cent passes through the kitchen and the sugar bowl on the dining room table. The great bulk of the sugar con- sumed in America—and the consump- tion per capita is ater here than ! anywhere on earth—is contained in soda water, ice cream, chewing gum, candies, cake, bread, condensed milk and a thousand and one other things that cater more or less to the sweet | tooth.
