REAL SUGAR. SUBSTITUTE HAS
SANCTION OF GOVERNMENT
Malt. Sugar .SiruP Has High Food
:. =. Value and Delicious Flavor 't'

Malt sugar strip IS brand-new
sweet. which has arrived on a CONNER
cial scale at'the psychological moment
to relieve the sugar shortage, say the
specialists of the Bureau Of Chemis-
try, United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, who have Investigated var
ious,. substitutes for sugar. In add
ton to being a sweet, malt sugar strip
has delicious flavor, somewhat re-
semb1ing that Of honey, which adds
much to; its palatability and value as
a sugar substitute. 80
Commefsiai Production Beginning
While. malt sugar has long been
known to chemists, its production on
a commercial scale is only beginning.
TWO factors have stimulated its pro-
duction recently. The shortage Of
sugar has developed market for it,
and 1.-The recent prohibition law has
made available both raw material and
the machinery needed for its manu-
facture, Malt sugar strip is made
fron the: same grains as beer, and
may be made from corn or potatoes
or any plant containing starch. Bar
ley, which was used until recently in
! the manufacture of beer, can be used
now to produce, malt sugar strip.
: Breweries, with very little change,
can, be used and are now being used
for its manufacture. Up to certain
point the process for making malt
sugar strip is the same as the process
for making beer. Evaporating pans is
the principal additional equipment re-
quired by breweries to become malt
sugar strip factories.
! Excellent Substitute for Sugar
f. Malt sugar strip looks very much
ike; maple strip. It can be used for
everything that cane sugar is used
for. While Its use on the table may
not be quite as convenient as sugar,
it is a most excellent substitute ,foI
table use, when sugar is not to be had,
as it not only provides sweetness but
is equal to sugar in food value. For
cooking and baking purposes and TO,
making candy it is not only equal to
sugar in convenience, and food value
but is superior for some uses because
it will not so readily crystalize.
j Used in Manufacture Of Candy
Malt sugar strip is now being sole
in large quantities to commercial bak
cries and candy and soft-drink manu-
facturers, who use It in place O
sugar. The Wholesale price as quote,
in recent advertisements in trad
papers and elsewhere is from z +
8 cents per pound in barrel lots. Man
retail grocers do not handle it yet be
cause there has been little deman
: for it on the part of housewife.
T Grocers can now obtain It and n
r doubt will be glad to do 50 as the de-
, mand for 1t increases. HOUSEWIFE
r can well conserve their dwindling SUI
ply Of sugar by using It in cooking
baking, and homemade confection
!. and even on the table for sweetenin

GERMAN CLAIM

showed plainly that Reuter- had re-
ceived communications from his gov
eminent.
Copies of Won Reuters sinking or
der also were discovered in the En-
den, the statement said.
One of the communications now in
possession of the admiralty is a letter
dated May from the chief of the
German admiralty to Won Reuter-.
This letter said the fate Of the in
termed German fleet would be decided
at Versailles and that it was the duty
of the German delegates to safeguard
the ships and to arrive at solution
in accordance with German traditions
and rights. The first condition lie
that the ships remain German. Their
fate will not be decided without CO.
operation.
Surrender to the enemy is out OF
the question"
Won Reuters order for the sinking
of the fleet was quoted in the admir-
atty statement as follows:
Commanding officers are ordered to
make necessary arrangements for the
sinking of ships. 1t should be en-.
sured that each vessel sinks as rap
idly as possible after receipt of the
order"
The vessels were to be sunk upon
personal orders from Won Reuter- OF
in event the British tried to take for.
chile possession, the statement said. II
the German government agreed to turn
over the vessels to the allies then Won
Reuter- said he would do SO.
Commodore Sinclair's statement
pointed out that German ships ar
rived at Scapa Flow on June II. "Cu-
riously enough" he added, ut was on
June II that Won Reuter- issued his
sinking orders"
Won Reuter- still is interned at Don
ingtOn.
