 Many Advantages in Oil.
 Asked by a reporter for The World the advantages of oil over coal a shipping expert said:
 "Oil requires less bunker space for a given steaming radius. 1t can be carried between double bottoms and in other places where neither coal nor cargo can be stored. The space saved can be used by freight-paying cargo.
 'Bunkering can be effected with greater dispatch and is not interfered with by darkness or weather. Dirt and other discOmforts attending the loading and use of coal are missing with oil. There is no need of machin- cry such as is required for handling ashes. StOking is eliminated, reduc- ing the number of men necessary. Uniform steam pressure is more cas-

PERSISTENCE, THY NAME IS UPTON

Sir Thomas J. LiptOn, Bart jolly old sea dog, arrived in New York the other day bound on the same old er- rand-to lift "the mug" as he calls the Americas cup.

WHITLOCK: AMBASSADOR TO BELGIUM

To raise Brand WhitlOck. who has been minister to Belgium for six years. to the rank of ambassador and return him to Belgium is a deserved cOmpIi- ment to q man who has served his 0Wrl country and the one to which he was accredited with so much tact and abiI- ity that King Albert's government has desired his reapp0intment, and the presidents compliance is satisfactory to Americans of both parties.
 No American diplomat had a more difficult place to fill Before we en tered the war it was necessary for him to remain on formally courteous terms with the Germans who assumed con- trOl of Belgium. Even before our gov ernment declared war; he had joined with the Belgian relief committee in helping to aid the starving and suffer ing people driven from their homes, and to the end of the war he was ac- lively engaged with MT.

Substitutes for Sugar Must Be Declared on Labels of
 Food Packages.
ALLOW ONLY HARMLESS ONES
Regulations of Food and Drug Act Are Very Strict-Require That Con- sumner Be Informed as to What
 He Is Getting.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 WaShingtOn.-Subctitu for sugar or for other normal ingredients of foods should be declared on the labels of the packages of food in which they are used, if the packages are shipped within the jurisdiction of the federal food and drugs act, say the officials of the bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture, who are charged with the enforcement of that act. Only substitutes which are harmless are permitted in foods un- der the terms of the law, and those that are permitted should be stated clearly on the labels.
 The object of the regulation re- Quiring that substitutes be declared on the labels is not to limit in any way the use of wholesome substitutes, the officials state, but to let the con Sumers know what they are getting. 4 purchaser of any food product, of which sugar is d normal ingredient, will naturally expect to get sugar in that product unless advised to the con- trary. As the substitutes are usually cheaper than the substance for which they are used, it is only fair, both from the standpoint of the purchaser and from that of fair trading, that a clear distinction be made on the la belS between foods that contain all the normal ingredients and foods in which one or more of the normal ingre- dients is replaced by a cheaper sub stance.
 Substitutes That May Be Used.
 There are a number of substitutes for sugar which can very properly be used in manufactured foods. such as jams, jellies, marmalades, pops, soda water. cOnfectiOns. and the like Among that may be used, if prop erly declared on the labels, are maple sugar sirup, glucose, corn sugar. corn sfrup, honey, and high-grad refners' sirup.
 Saccharin, a cOal-tar product which has been widely advertised by its Is not a proper or legal substitute, since it is held to be injurious to health, and as 1t has no food value whatever, it lowers the quality of the food in which it replaces sugar, which has a high food value. The use of Saccharin, whether or not declared 0n the labels, In foods coming within the jurisdiction of the federal food and drugs act, is prohibited.

BARRANCAS TEAM
BEAT DIRIGIBLES
IN GOOD CONTEST

Fort Barrancas won ten inning
game from the dirigible balloon Sec
ton Saturday by the score of 81. on
the formers grounds.
The game was the most interesting
played this season on the artillery
mems grounds, and it was either
teams game up until the very last in
ming. The Barrancas team should
have won earlier in the contest hut
the inability to properly lay down a
sacrifice hit and the lack of a hit
on two occasions with three men on
bases and one down, made the game
go the extra inning.
Ginrich deserved to win his game.
He struck out ten men to Young
nine and he only allowed three hits
in the entire ten innings. However,
luck and the inability to hit the apple
at the oportune moment made him
pitch his head off to keep the game
from going to the other club.
Barrancas was the first to score.
Dent got on through a one-base hit
through short; he n led up a sack
on Craigs base on balls. on Welch's
fielder's choice Dent was forced out
at third, Craig moving to the midway
station. A passed ball pushed Craig
and WEIGH up an extra sack, and on
Young's wild throw over first, Craig
put his cleat marks in the home plate
for the first run.
The balloonmen scored in the ninth.
Laird got a life on Towards error. he
stole second and came home on Gin
richs wild heave over third in an at
tempt to catch him.
Barrancas scored the winning run
in the next inning ON Ginrich's hit to
short which was booted by Brown, his
advance on Blaylocks walk, Wamp-
ler's sacrifice bunt. and Towards
slow grounder to first.
Barrancas' playing was away off
color, both Extensively and defensive
ly. They booted the ball for six juicy
errors and were unable to pull the in
side stuff when most needed. Dents
hitting and the battery work of Gin
rich and wampler featured for the
winners. while Young's pitching and
Pfeffer's work around the initial sack
doomed up large for the losers.
