unsatisfactory substitute for it, made

weakness" for molasses, declares that he
has been unable to buy the real article of
his grocer, or any other, for three or four
years. This glucose syrup" is controlled
by the sugar trust, and its contemporary

two trusts come mighty near debating to
the grocers what food products they shall
sell to the people. Unless a grocer obeys
the mandates of the trust, he is mighty
apt to find himself without a sugar sup
