Stealing is one of the worst crimes on the calendar and he is in posse sion of pictures of groups of a many as 50 men, women and chil- dren awaiting the knife of the official beheader. Various degrees of torture are given criminals for offenses. The most popular of these is the death of a thousand cuts. | The unfortunate culprit is trussed up on a pole and an official with a { sharp knife cuts his body a thou- and times until he is dead. An- | other popular death besides behead- ing, is called “parting the brains | from the body.” This is the simple act of putting a loaded revolver inst a person’s head and blowing out +his brain. Executions in China a The Chinese people are allowed to witness them but foreigners and others, such as the sailors, were re- quired to pay an admission fee of 75 cents to watch a human head cut off.

He re- minds us that in addition to sugar, the best candies and confections of the present day contain also many other foods. He enumerates nuts, milk, cream, butter, gelatine, choco- late, and fruits, as being used along with sugar in delicious, modern candies, and he says that good candy as a dessert may become a whole- some part of a meal. Who, he asks, would deprive the world of one of its most delicious desserts? Science and common sense are restoring sanity to the nation to- day. Don't gorge. Don't undereat. Prepare a great variety of all healthful foods. Flavor these so that they will be delightful to the taste. Those are some of the pres- ent-day precepts that will guide us »to a better diet. If a dash of sugar will encourage your family to eat cereals, fresh, canned and stewed fruits, and milk in the form of milk drinks and milk desserts, then —in the name of health—use a dash of sugar. Try a dash of sugar when cooking vege- tables in a small amount of water, and you will be surprised at how much fresher, more colorful and more delicious the vegetables are. A little sugar sprinkled here and courage children and adults to eat the varied diet that is so necessary to health. Most foods are more de- licious and nourishing with sugar.
