The chemist
specialists
of the
United
States
Denartmen:
of Agriculture of the
Buream
of Chemistry
are
reporting
the
birth
of
a
new
syrup
that
has
been
chri:tened
gs malt suzar
syrup.
The
new
child
has
come
just at
the
psychological
time
when
sugar
is
scarce
and
it comes
into being
to receive
ine good will of for-
mer devctees
of the sugar
queen.
True,
the syrup
nas
been
snown
ir emd-vo
for
some
time
but
it awaited
an
economic
condition
to “e born
into the channels
of
¢ommercial
usage.
The colored
servant
re-ciiristened
his
cow with the significant
words:
‘;United
.S:ates’’
and,
when
asked
whv h 2 had
niade
the
change,
he
said that
she
thad
gcne
dry.
Now
this
going dry has threaten~d
to put
a lot of
beer
machinery
on
the
scrap
heap,
but
it
has
been
discove
e¢d
that malt
syrup
can
be
made
from
the
same
grains
as
beer and
the
very
same
machinery
can
be used
to make
the
syrup,
ard
so
we are
living
over again
the old
iruth of nature
WhiC%l never
wasies
but
always
adapts
everything
even
if
it adopts
nothing.
Very
littie change i 3 necessary
in
the
breweri%:and
up
toa
certain
point
the
process
I&the sam=
for making malt
su-
gar
as
for
making
beer.
DEvaporating
pans
have
to be
added,
however,
to
the
equipment.
The malt
sugar
so
the
che-
‘mists
say
iooks
verymuch
like
maple
syrup and is a fine table syrupand
a g.od
food.
It resembles
hju:y
and
can
be
used for.everything
caue
sugar
is
used
for.
It isexcellent
for ¢oking and
bak-
ing and in candy
uses
it is
even
supervior
bacause
it will not
so
readily
erystallize.

SUGAR NOTES.
Interesting
news
hails fron Paraguay,
whnere
a shrub called
“‘caathe’’
is
grow-
ing wild and
bears
leaves
sweet
to
the
tnste
when
chewed.
An interesting
sug-
gestion
is inadz,
that leaves
be m'xed
in
suitable proporton
with'‘yerbamate’”
or
“‘Paraguayant,”’
sc
that
the
tea
will
.
come

shiub
in question
obtains
a, height
|
of over
two
feet,
and
bears
panicles
of
|
white
flowers.
The
leaves
do
not
owe
|
their sweet
iess
to
sugar,
but
to
a
sub-
stance
similar
to
that
which
sweetens

Basle,
Switzerland,
has
had
a
remark-
|
able rejuvenation
during
the world
war.
|
l‘he.cit/ as
every
reader
kn>ws
lies
in
|
the
very
center
of Europe
where
the
maia railway lines
converge from London,
Paris,
Rotterdam,
Hamburg,
Copentia-
gen.
Berlin, Rome,
and other cities
south
east
and
west.
It
was
the
gateway
'
through which
the
wounded
from all
che
|
belligerent nations
were iransferred
and
|
the miniature republic spent
millioas
of
|
its
own
money
taking
care
of
them.
|
Basl has
also been
a
great
commercial
|
center through
which
also the
surround-
{
. ing countries
have sent
their produce
and,
the writer has
scen
carloads of sugar
|
coming from Germany
as
well
as
lltaly
|
ana Austria coming here
for distribution.
Recently
the city
held
its anuual
fair
wnaich
has
beeome
a fixed institution
and
plans
are
under
way
now
to
erect
a
two-miliion-doilar exhibition

The
Siberiah
govern-
-
ment
is interested
and
has
appropriated
200,000
" roubles
and
has
established
a
bounty
that
will yield
1,000.000
roubles
i
a year.
The factory it is believed will
be
completed
by the
fall of 1920 and
Siberi-
|
an capitalists
and
the
Petrograd
Inter-
'
national Bank of Commerce
at
Vladivos-
|
tok are
financing
the
corporation.
Ten
|
factories
it is estimated
will
be
needed
'
to supply
the sugar
of the Siberians
or
a
|
total of 72,000
tons.
From
San
Francisco
|
comes
the report
that
efforts
are
being
'
made
in California
to
finance
additional
|
factories
and
all
this
information
is
-
among
the
most
heartening
that
has

come
out of the
