The executive committee Of Tho

which Is then TO come uD for consid-
Grafton. Announcement was made in
Il statement issued by the committee
that 1T is the intention of the company
to liquidate its floating Indebtedness

enterprises.
Although new financing plans have
not yet been put into concrete form. it
IS understood that bankers have been
consulted regarding an issue of from

The statement of the executive com
mittee said:
The audit Of the books Of the COM

mat the net earnings for the first nine

After making adequate provisions for
inlukagc in the market value of the
Inventory, Federal ard state taxes of
VII hlnGs, the indications are that the
net earnings of the company for she
calendar year will approximate at least
S5,oOo, ,OO0, OR 10 per cent on the out
5Ianding capital stock of the company.
Though the earnings of tie COM
pany would justify the declaration { f
the usual dividend Of l " per cent for
ne three months ending December 81
1870, the executive committee believes,
IN view of existing unsettled conditions
IN this country, that it is to the best
interest OF the company and its stock
holders that its cash resourcey should
be conserved. and that, thcret ore the
layment Of the Il per cent quarterly
dividend for the current quarter should
be deferred, and it Will be SO recon-
mended to the board of directors.

Schreiner from which the following
is excerpt:
Time and again you went as a
temperance missionary throughout
the length and breadth OF the Orange
Free State and it was largely through
your efforts that the bene6cent Liz
uor Ordinance OF 1883 was passed by
the O. F. S. Volksraad. Since those
earlier years you have traversed the
greater part of South Africa in seek
ing to advance the cause OF temper
ance and there is scarcely town or
village in the sub-continent where
you arc not known and honored as a
leading temperance propaganda. The
natives and colored races of South
Africa have found in you "a friend
indeed and for long you have labored
to promote their moral, social and
spiritual betterment.'

years moreover, he devoted the whole
OF each Sunday to evangelistic work
at Kimberley gaol. Taking Kimberly
as a base he missioned the Orange

lodges, and his efforts in the first
named state were crowned by the
passing of the celebrated Liquor Or
dinance Note OF 1883, which was to
prove great blessing to the country.
From 1892 to 1890 he conducted Sue
cessful temperance missions in Cape
Colony.
Recognizing that without the as
sistance of legislation his work
amongst the people was only half the
battle, he sought to enter Parliament
and stood for Kimberly in 1904 and
lost by only few votes. Two years
later he won the Tembuland seat in
the Assembly at Cape Town for the
Progressive party and was returned
unopposed by the same constituency
in 1910. In 1915 he was nominated
by the Governor General as Senator
in the place OF his brother, Hon. P.
Schreiner, and was one of the four
Senators elected on the ground of
their acquaintance with the reason
able wants and wishes OF the native
colored races.
In the newer forms of temperance
propaganda Senator Schreiner was a
moving spirit. He was the chairman
of the South African Peoples Tenn
perance Union for the Direct Vote
and was president from 1917 to 1919
for the South African Constructive
Temperance Alliance and upon his
retirement was elected honorary vice
president
Both in Parliament and out, Mr..
Schreiner was unwearing in his eff

PHILADELPHIA BREWERY
IS NOW MAKING SYRUP
Producing an Excellent Sweetener
for Cakes and Breads and
Demand Increasing
SU GAR SU B S T IT U T E
U. S. Bureau of Chemistry Inter
ested as Malt Syrup Will
Relieve Sugar Shortage
SUGAR UB S TIT U T E

Officials of c. Schmidt & Sons.
prominent brewery firm OF Philadel-
phia, confirm the announcement by
experts of the Bureau of Chemistry,
United States Department of Agrcul-
ture, that brewery equipment and
grains can be used for the production
OF a sugar substitute.
The Philadelphia North American
OF March Is says that for more than
a year the entire plant of the old
Shemm brewery at West College
Avenue and Poplar Street, according
to the brewery officials, has been en-
gagged in the production of malt syrup.
Only few other brewerics of the
United States have taken up this line
of production so far but it is expect
ed that as a result OF the commercial
success achieved by the Philadelphia
plant many others will enter the field.
The product is used primarily in
bread and cakes. Demand for this
syrup has increased steadily in Phila-
dclphia as its advantages have become
known, particularly among large
bakers. In some of the biggest
bakeries malt syrup has now COM
plctely displaced sugar as sweeten-
ing agent. Not only is the syrup of
equal food value with sugar, but &C
cording to the experience of the
Schmidt firm it has ether advantages.
zone of these is that it increases fer
mentation and thus bread made with
it is lighter and more palatable than
bread swectened with sugar or sub
stitutc.
The Philadelphia concern began its
experiments with the production OF
malt syrup at time when the United
States was in the midst of its food
saving campaign and the brewers
were warmly commended for their
stand. The shortage of sugar stimu-
lated the production. Little difficulty
was experienced by the makers of the
new product i'll getting bakers to try
it out, following a public announce
ment by Federal chemists.
SO far the new product has not
been placed upon the retail market,
mainly because it is so new and the
manufacturers producing it so few
that large bakeries, manufacturers OF
soft drinks and other users of sweet
eners in wholesale quantities, have
taken the entire production. The
brewery plants of this country are
being converted into plants for the
production of useful commodities and
thereby the brewers are answering
their own argument for compensa-
ton.

While some Of the citizens of Ber-

great future founded on the dollars
of American tourists. who they be-

upon the prospect. Posted conspicu-

Bermuda still has license. We
expect our patrons to exercise
common sense. We do not care
how little they drink. Excess will

The American holiday troubles
with methylated spirits, whereby a
considerable number of persons lost
their lives through drinking methy-
lated spirits which former liquor SELL
ers had colored to resemble whisky,
and which was surreptitiously and
clandestinely circulated about as
whisky, was cabled over to Europe
in lugubrious detail. 1t was set forth
in large headlines in European papers
as the inevitable result of the insane
policy of Prohibition.
During the same period, various
deaths from the same cause were re-
ported from London where there was
no insane Prohibition" or any other
kind of Prohibition, according to the
London vernacular.
But on top of this comes an official
report, February 2, from the chief
constable OF Carlisle, who makes what
he believes to be a better showing
than other British cities. This favor
able showing, wherein only 7S arrests
for drunkenness were made during
the year, he attributes to the fact that
the government had taken over COM
plete control and management of the
liquor business in Carlisle.
He further sets forth that this
showing would have been better than
