and kindred complaints, there is nothing so sure as a means of banishing or preventing these very disagreeable "ail- ments as Mother Seigel's Syrup, the popular herbal digestive tonic of fifty years' standing. Fifteen to thirty drops, taken in water, after meals, will tone, strengthen and stimulate the principal organs of digestion-the stomach, liver and bowels to healthy and normal activity, and so enable them to perform their vital functions in a natural and easy manner. It is the medicinal extracts of the many different "rodts, barks and leaves, contained in the Syrup, which have, in combination, such a remarkably beneficial effect upon the weakened organs..

DISCOVERY.

To the man in the street there may be little worthy of notice in the announce ment just made that sugar has been. manufactured in the laboratories... of Liverpool, University by A chemical process, but this achievement in act only a great scientific victory, but it has a supremely important bearing on the future, food supply of the world ways the Observer.

ぶ

Of late years many eminent people have been concerning themselves with the problem of the growing populations of the world and the possibility that existing sources of food supply may in a comparatively brief period pravo in Bufficient to meet the demand. Önc investigator has calculated, on the basis that each individual requires the produco, of two acres of land for his maintenance, that if the average annual increase of the world's population just over 1 per centis maintained, in less than 900. years the earth will contain the maximum population it can support ** Most of those who have studied the matter agree that this is a fairly reliable estimate, but some are confident that if mankind concentrates on cultivating the waste places of the earth, simultaneously with its intensive cultivation and the scientific breeding of those animals which provide us with food, the evil day may be postponed by many centuries.

AN END TO AGRICULTURE Others have emphasised that the future of the bamaci race can only he safer guarded by ceasing to be dependent for sustenance on animals and agriculture. and one of the pioneers of this view was the late M. Berthelot, the famous French chemist. "The work the vegetables have so far done," he said a few years before his death, scienen will soon be able to do better." There will then be no passion to own land. beasts need not be bred for alaughter, and the barren, regions may be preferable to the fertile for habitable places, because they will not be pestiferous from ages of manuring. The reign of chemistry will beautify the planet."

A TRADE VIEW,

Certainly the sugar industry is not perturbed at the synthetic competition 10 Liverpool.

"How can you beat Nature by an intricate procese like that indicated by the reports of the statement made at the University by Professor. Rathbone asked' an authority on the technical side of the trade who was cou sulted yesterday by a representative of The Observer. "You sow beetroot in thq. spring," he said, "and the result of a season's growth is that you have a plant with from 15 to 17 per cent, of sugar in, it. To produce ayathetic sugar, having started with plenty of water and sun- light, you will have to make carbonic acid. That means that you must get such material to burn as wood or coal, and the same land that would be required for growing, say, the wood could be used more ecommically for the beetroot itself...

"The world's production of sugar is seventeen" or eighteen million tons a year. Look at the amount of material you would require to make that quantity, or any thing approaching it, synthetically. It in, of course, extremely interesting for science to show us how Nature produces things like sugar, but no person in the trade need be anxious about the discovery, for it is not in the least likely that a round about process will ever supplant the natural production of sugar."

DUEL OF YORK'S BETROTHAL.

The marriage of the Duke of York and Lady Bowes-Lyon is expected to take place at Westminster Abbey after Easter. Interviewed by a representative of the Evening Standard, the Earl of Strath- more said that the couple first met at a children's party when Lady Elizabeth, was, five or six, and the Prince was a school- boy. They had been friends ever since, and had met frequently.
