the increased demands for sugar and

their needs than cane and beet sugars

Not New to Science.
Maltese sugar is no new thing of
science. For years. physicians have
recognized it as the most wholesome
end easily digested of the great family
of sugars. 1t has been prescribed for
the use of infants and for persons to
whom ordinary sugar would have
meant serious illness. In food value,
in heat units, it is equivalent to cane
or beet sugar and in taste, some say
superior. 1t has several advantages

Confectioners wish sugar that at
tracts moisture because their candies
remain fresh longer. Candy made in
Seattle last January with maltese
sugar is fresh today, an unheard of

Furthermore, maltose will never
crystalize and that means that the
candy will not "grain." 1t can be
used without boiling and mixed with
other materials at blood heat, this at
tribute making for economy in fuel
and comfort in operation.
Cakes Keep Fresh
Bakers prefer maltose for much the
same reason. Cakes made with such
sugar keeps fresh much longer than
those made with crystal sugars.

doubtful if the public will find it

ment maintains control of the maxi

and it is not believed that the deal
ers will sell much below that figure,
as the existing high duty will remain.
Moreover. restrictions on distilla-
ton during the war and the neces-
sity of maturing stocks may lead the
dealers to hold large quantities. on
the other hand, it will be possible
now to sell all the American whisky
