BROWN SUGAR AGAIN.
May Come Into Fashion Once More
Owing to the Pure Food Law.

May Come Into Fashion Once More
Owing to the Pure Food Law.
What will the housewife say when
she asks her grocer for his best sugar
and Is shown a scoop Of the yellowish
brownish sweet such as her grand
mother used to buy? You can almost
hear her Shrek Of awe as she is told
that this is the best sugar in the house.
You can imagine her surprise when
the grocer quotes the brown sugar to
her at 61a cents pound and the "old
fashioned" white sugar at cents.
Tor brown sugar Is now the proper
thing. Whoever does not know this Is
ignorant of the rulings on the food
law. The crystalline sugar we have
been eating is adulterated. All Of this
pretty white sugar, whether granulat-
ed, powdered or in leaves, has been
bleached by chemical process which
the interpreters of the food law have
seen fit to condemn.
It is learned that there Is no such
thing as pure white sugar; that sugar
to be pure must be brown. The bleach
! ing process consists in submitting the
| pure sugar to treatment Of mineral
blulng. BY this and other processes
q great deal Of the natural sweetness
Is extracted from the sugar, and 1t Is
often further adulterated by the add
ton of insoluble substances, such as
marble dust
Confectioners have even made sc
bold as to advertise marble dust fol-
the very purpose of adulteration, ant
it Is regrettable to say there was Il de
lnand that we'll repaid the advertiser
! for his expense and his daring. It is
even claimed that sand Is used il
white sugar for the purpose Of increas
ing It's weight and bulk.
There is a foreign substance, callet
ultramarine, remaining in the process
Of manufacture which is often added
to white sugar to give 1t the requisite
blue tinge. Whatever the result Of thu
commissions permanent rulings, w
have been taught that white sugar i
impure, and brown sugar will com'
