GERMAN GRIP ON
RARE SUGAR CONE
America Now Producing Costly
Sweets Used in the Detection
of Disease Germs.
RESULT OF WAR NECESSITY
Prompt Work of Chemists of Great
Assistance IN Fighting Typhoid
in A, (. F.-Elaborate Care
Necessary.

New York-Germany's grip on the
rare sugar industry has been broken
at last by several American manufac-
turers who are now able 10 produce
those costly sweets used in the de-
lection of disease germs.
The most expensive of these, quoted
at several hundred dollars a pound,
is rnr beyond the reach of the average
housewife, and yet it plays an i'm
portant part in scientific research and
must be obtained.
At the outbreak of the European
war the group of rare sugars used In
our laboratories was manufactured in
Germany. The Teutons had such
hold on the processes that they were
able ut any time to destroy COMPETE
ton.
One of these sugars is of exceptional
value in the detection of typhoid, as
the organisms of that disease are so
fond of 1t that they naturally select
1t and so multiply upon 1t that their
presence can readily be detected. The
States called upon members of the
American Chemical Society TO coop
crate in the making of rare bacteri-
illogical sugars for typhoid work. and
according to a bulletin issued by that
society these efforts soon proved sue
cessfu. The fact that the health of
the American expeditionary force in
France was so good was largely due
to the quest for typhoid germs which
was made possible by the preparation
of these unusual saccharine substances
I'm laboratories of the United States.
The Investigations which developed
from the employment of these agents
| did much to forestall outbreaks of
typhoid fever and to indicate the need
of special vigilance in vaccination
! against that dread disease. which in
the Spanish American war caused
| more deaths than did IT, bullets OF
the enemy.

another kind of sugar renders them
unfit for the precise purposes for
which they are intended. 1t requires
the utmost patience and scientific
skill to put them through the various
steps of publication. Often through
some slight slip or mishap days of
work may be lost, and 1t is necessary
to go back and repeat the processes
in order TO obtain the required stand
ard.
This elaborate Fare is responsible
for the seemingly enormous prices at
which the rare sugars are listed. High
as these costs may appear they are
said to yield only nominal profits to
the manufacturers.
The most expensive rare sugar
quoted in the catalogue is dulcitol, for
which 1878 a pound is asked.
Mannose is worth S140 pound. The
ivory nut better known as vegetable
IVORY" is imported in large quantities
from Ecuador. and is used for the
manufacture of buttons for coats and
gowns. The chemist makes mannose
from the scraps of the button fac,

ing product is due to the many ac'
curate processes through which ne
must put it in order to obtain abso
