SUGAR TO BE YELLOW.

New York, Oct. ,3.-Unless
the United States Pure Food
Commission changes its mind,
the people OF the United States
will soon be using graduated
and other sugars that have a
distinctly yeIIowish tinge. The
Commission has decreed that no
mineral blucing substance be
used in bleaching sugar, and
the rehners and their chemists
are much disturbed. Sugar
chemists say that they use four
pounds of mineral blueing
substance to every 900, 900
pounds OF sugar, for bleaching
purposes. This, the sugar
chemists say, is not adulteration;
that it is merely publication by
a thoroughly healthful process.
The Pure Food Commission
cannot see it in that light, and
insists that the whitening pro
cess be abandoned. If that is
done the result will be that all
sugars refined under the Com
new directions will be
of a distinctly yellowish shade.

The Jennings oil field is pro
ducing as good quality and as
great quantity of oil today a:
it has for the last two years a,
least. The production of the
field has never been steady, it
has at all times hucturated.
The most experienced drillers
in this section will TESTIFY to
this.
One brought in during the
past forty days was reported as
being a pure salt water well, all
the other wells brought IN dur
ing that length of time are pay
ing wells.
In conversation with an ex-
perienced oil man mot one with
few acres of land TO sell) but
with man capable of passing
sanely and honorably on such
questions, a Times Record re-
porter learned the following
facts concerning the output of
the Jennings oil field:
First, that during the past
month there has not been but
one water well reported.
Second, that all of the other
wells drilled during that time
are still producing oil in paying
quantities.
Third, that the use OF COM
pressed air is not in its lncipien-
cy but has been in use long ere
this.
Fourth, that the production
has not fallen of, 80 per cent,
but in hacturation.
Last but not least the field is
producing today $500 barrels
OF as pure oil as was ever taken
