SUGAR SUBSTITUTE PROMISING
Malt Syrup Made by Former Brewery
Firm in Philadelphia.

Commercial confirmation of the an
nouncement by experts Of the bureau OF
chemistry, United States department of
agriculture, that brewery equipment and
grains can be used for the production of a
sugar substitute, is made by officials Of
{. Schmidt & Sons, prominent brewery
finn of this city
For more than year the entire plant
OF the old Schemm brewery has been en-
gagged in the production of malt syrup.
Only few other breweries in the United
States have taken up this line of pro-
duction so far, but it is expected that
as result of the commercial success
achieved by the local plant, many others
win enter the field The product is used
primarily in bread and cake
Demand for this syrup has increased
steadily in this city as its advantages
have become known, particularly among
large bakers In some of the biggest
bakeries malt syrup has now almost COM
pletely displaced sugar as the sweetening
agent
Not only is the syrup of equal food
value with sugar, but according to
| the experience of the Schmidt firm, it in
creases fermentation and thus bread
made with it is lighter and more pala-
table than bread sweetened with sugar
or a substitute.
The syrup is obtained by a complicated
and intricate system, from malt The
starch is first extracted and converted in
to sugar Then it is put through evap
Grating pans and concentrated into The
malt syrup, which resembles molasses
SO far the new product has not beer
placed upon the retail market, mainly
because it is so new and the manufac
turers producing it are so few that
large bakeries, manufacturers of soft
drinks and other users of sweeteners ii
wholesale quantities, have taken the en-
tire production.-Ph Philadelphia NORTH

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when 1t fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and thousands Of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen 9
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t
an appearance of abundance.
GWyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful APP
pearance to the hair. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.

THE BOOK OF MARTHA.
Love is the One Inexhaustible Gran
daur of Our Existence.

"Chrys says l waste too much emo
ton erotically. She says most wo<
men do. Bob isn't worth it, she
AYERS, and she ought to know be-
cause she is his twin! She insists
that all women take love too siren
uouosly, that we ought to take it as
men do, make it of our lives thing
apart, and not our whole existence.
SIS Chrystobel talking about the
double standard of morals? Does she
demand more liberty for women"
1 felt Martha's fingers stiffen on
mine.
"No-not bv any means. She only
says that a man in love demands
idealism plus from a woman, demands
unity, oneness, immolation, of her,
and then splits up his own emotions
according to his opportunity, and
thinks that he is fair! But Chrys
doesn't believe that woman ought to
initiate him. She thinks woman
ought to teach him finer doctrine
of love and that he could learn it,
and would learn it, gradually, in a
few thousand centuries, perhaps, if
woman doled out her love, shred for
shred, piece for piece, her whole for
his whole, instead of giving a whole
for a part, as she is too often will
ling to do"
] paused to catch my breath and
again my pretty Portia reproved me:
Don't fool yourself, jane" she
said sternly. ''Love is the mex
haustible grandeur of our existence.
The more a woman spends, the more
she has. But when woman begins
to measure out her love, and to dole
it out, it shrinks, NV dear. So av-
ish your love upon Bob, throw il
away upon him, waste it, squander
it! That's the only way you'll ever
come by cure for your hurt heart
my dear!"
"That sounds very fine, Martha
but have you ever tried your own
theory?"
Then came Daddy Lorimer and
spoiled our intimate conversation.

girls" be exclaimed gayly, as he ad-
vanced with hands out-stretched to
meet my guest.
And here's your toll, old DEAR?

Daddy Lorimer makes this demand
upon many of the girls who have
grown up with his daughter. None
object, for all of us are extremely
fond of his dear round jovial face
and his lovely white curly hair, and
the cheer he manages to carry
around with him under a gruff ex-
terror, no matter how i'll or weary or
old he may be feeling.
And Daddy has the dandiest habit
of remembering all the girl friends
of his daughter with unique and ex-
pensive gifts whenever an ami
versary or holiday gives him and ex-
cuse. Once, in wonder, / asked him
how he knew the dates of so many
birthday and he calmly referred me
to his private secretary! Very prac-
teal is Daddy even when he is senti-
mental.
"How's the law business, Marte?"
he asked, his "toll" having been col
lected.
Splendid, Mr.. Lorimer."
"Then what's up? You're get

That's all. Works very late, nearly
every night. We have so many sep
arate interests, of course, what with

Neither is mothers, Marie.
How's Lorrie?"
Once more the spoon had to be re

"Marte, you ought to stop working.

'LET US GET TOGETHER"
BY D. C. BURKHALTER


THE earth sleeps peacefully beneath
A robe of leaves and snow,
And birds have left to visit lands
Where summer breezes blow.
Old Father Time hurries on
And each succeeding day
Brings Christmas that much nearer
And happiness but sayl
Did you ever stop to think about
The little girls and boys
Who've never known what Christmas is,
Whove never shared the joys
OF gladstone Christmas season,
But stay at home and pray
That Santa Claus might come
And FIJI their stockings Christmas Dayp
Now folks let's get together
And make these dreams become
A reality by helping
With the Empty Stocking Fund.
Let us zee that Mister Santa
AS he starts off in his sleigh
Makes visits to both rich and poor
On this big Christmas Day.
