FIND SUGAR SUBSTITUTES
.... s FOR BOTTLERS

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20.
Methods of reducing the consumption
of sugar in soft drinks have been
worked out by the. Bureau of Chem
istry, United States Department of
Agriculture, which is now co-operat-
ing with producers throughout the
United States. The bureau has pre-
pared directions for making soft
drinks which include formula that
utilize substitute sweet materials
such as corn strip Ordinary glucose),
corn sugar, maltese sirup, honey and
high-grade refner's strip. By fol-
lowing these directions, which are be-
ing distributed among bottles the act
ual sugar content in soft drinks can
be cut to so per cent or less. A SOW
ing of approximately $4,000 tons of
sugar annually, is thus possible, it
is estimated, and at the same time
the customary taste and quality of
the beverage can bepreserved. 1t is
estimated that there are 10000 pro-
ducers of soft drinks in the United
States, employed 100000 workers,
and having total capitalization of
s25O,OO0, 900.

SEVEN CONVICTED
ONE NOT GUILTY

The trial of the eight boys at Phil
ppi continued into this week The
defense started with their witnesses
last Friday which has made a de-
eided turn in opinions concerning this
affair. Jesse Thorpe was the first of
the defense to take the stand, he was
followed then by Archie George, one
of the defendants, whose evidence
was sensational, pitiful and dealt with
associations he and others had with
Fannie Boorer before the alleged Sc
duction. A large number of wit
nesses for and against the defendants
were examined.
Tuesday, Judge Kittle was sick and
the court recessed until Wednesday
at which time the Judge was able
in sit on the case.
Wednesday, all the evidence was
in, and late in the afternoon the
pleading began which lasted until
after supper at the evening session.
The instructions to the jury were
short and pointed, and the case turn
ed over to them
The jury today at 10 O'Clock gave
verdict, and sentence was pronounc-
ed as follows:
Kittle, Moore and Rhodes go to
the penitentiary for IS years each.
Mill, Logan and George for Is years
each, and Griffith for 10 years. Jesse
Thorps goes free.
This ends one of the most sensation
al affairs that has been known in the
valley for years.

NOT WANTED

enlistment in the United States Army
is fixed by Congress at Is years.
There have been so many applications
for releases from the Army Of boys
under this age who have enlisted that
Adit. Gen. Henry P Mccain has issu-
ed the following circular letter:
1.-THE large number of applications
received from parents and guardians
for the discharge of minors under IS
years of age, inclosing satisfactory
evidence that the soldier is under this
age, indicates the necessity of more
care on the part of recruiting officers
in order to avoid unnecessary expense
to the Government and annoyance to
troops in the field in the subsequent
discharge of such men, and to avoid
placing a blot for life on the record
of boy whose offense of misstate-
ment of his age arises usually from
a patriotic desire to serve his country.
Hereafter no applicant under the
registration age will be accepted or
enlisted until he has proven to the
complete satisfaction of the recuit-
ing officer that he has reached the
age of Is years. The proof required
will be (a) birth certificate, baptismal
record, or school certificate, or, school
certificate, or, in case (a) is not avail
able, (b) affidavit Of parent or Of
guardian with legal evidence of
81 ardianship."

Judge Mullowney had laboriously in

Il tore up that flag because it was
better displayed than the American

The man srumbled something about

Antityphoid Treatment
Made Free to Civilians
By Public Health Office

Work or fight and protect your
health 30 you can keep at work." is
the way Secretary McAdoo believes
the man power Of the country should
be conserved, and therefore he has
made the army precautions available
to the civilian population.
The U. s. Public Health Service
has been directed to give antityphoid
inoculations without charge to all
who apply to any Of its hospitals or
field ofiices. Many Of these offices are
located In zones surrounding the can
-tonments OF this country. The pre-
vention Of typhoid in these zones Is
one Of the greatest steps toward pre-
venting the interchange of diseases
between military and civilian popu-
lations.
The season of typhoid Is now at
hand and inoculation is of the great
est importance to all who may be ex-
posed to the danger by drinking con-
taminated water. Information about
free inoculatlon can be obtained
from any U. s. Marine Hospital, from
army field Offices of the Public Health
Service. or by application TO the Pub
lie Health Service at Washington.
