tains no sulphur dioxide at all, no

sugar with fine flavor and color But
this result has probably been ar
rived at by combining two products

rather than by the concentration of

old-fashioned way.
All agreed that this syrup was of

remaining after refining the raw
sugar, may have per cent of min
eral ash and 25 per cent Of water.
What is called golden" or drip"
syrup for table use is usually the
liquid remaining after the sugar is
granulated from it. The Domino
Golden Syrup analyzed does not
seem to be just this, however, but
mixture, in some ways superior to
the usual so-called golden syrup, for
it contained 72 per cent Of sugars,
of which SO per cent is invert
sugar, not sucrose. There is about
New-York tribune., 1920-11-07

20 per cent Of water and only
minute amount Of mineral ash, OCT
per cent. All of which indicates
that this is sugar solution in
verted (sucrose changed into the
reducing sugars, levulose and dex-
trose, by means Of an acid), mixed
with about one-eighth of refner's
syrup to give it the golden color,
true acid tang and characteristic
flavor Of cane sugar syrup.

! the front wheel journals and both
fan and brush are driven by vert
ical, ventilated G. f. motor, espe-
cially air cooled with three -bladed
fan at the lower end of the shaft.
Owing to this, although the motor
makes $500 revolutions a minute,
and the average on the machines
tested is 1926, the heating Of the
motor is we'll controlled. the rise in
temperature being 6 degrees below
the permitted SO degrees-a safe
value.
The fan is slightly smaller than
usual for a motor driven brush ma
chine, but runs at a little more than
average speed.
Interesting Minor Points
The weight of machine is al
ways a point of interest to women,
for though it travels on wheels the
PuoAiilIS Az NoniIcClIOH Will lNe IflC-
ton is a factor, and carrying the
machine up and down stairs is an
item also. The New Premier weighs
about fourteen pounds, being only
a trit1e above the average weight and
the lightest Of the three motor
driven brush machines tested.
The clearance height is slightly
above the average, as it will not go
under furniture lower than nine
inches from the floor. The cleaning
width Of the nozzle is 1878 inches,
the overall width being 15A inches,
including the wheels set on the out
side, giving. however, a wider than
average cleaning nozzle.
The current turns off and on by
means of a convenient rotary snap
switch which forms the end knob of
the pistol grip handle-one of the
most convenient arrangements. The
handle is held upright by a spring
catch and a wing-nut will clamp it in
any one of four positions. The nine
teen-foot cord ends in a non-sepa-
rable, loose shell plug. The domino
bag is larger than the average (27
by IS inches) and is emptied by re-
moving six-inch sliding clamp at
the top. A six-inch inlet tube keeps
the dust from falling back into the
fan.
AS is usual with this type Of ma.
chine. it excels in floor work rather
than tool work, since more depend
ence is placed on the motor driven
brushes, with the suction acting as
co-worker rather than as the main

OF ash. Even a third" molasses
Will have a still higher amount Of
minerals, over 6 per cent, only 32 per
cent of sucrose left in it and 81 per
cent of invert sugars.
The standards established for
molasses say that it must not con-
tain more than 25 per cent of water
and not more than per cent of ash.
The two molasses examined in the
Tribune Institute, Dutf's and Brer
Rabbit, had "a and 90 per cent of
moisture and about per cent of
minerals or ash, being we'll within
the limits on both scores.
The Duff molasses had &C per cent
of sugar, of which 25 per cent was
inverted, while the Brer Rabbit had
63 per cent, of which nearly 10 per
cent was inverted. This molasses
was darker in color than the Duff
and contained less sulphur dioxid,
which is present in molasses because
sulphur fumes are used in clarifying
the sugar juices. 1t must be de-
clared on the label, but no definite
limit is set or enforced as to amount.
In the Institute work no product
is approved that contains more than
800 parts per million of snlnbnr
dioXid, which is scarcely more than
s trace. In this case the Brer Rab-
bit is practically pure--containing
only eighty parts per million, while
the Duff Ga lighter product) CON
tanned 242 parts per million, still
safely within the more than legal
limit set in our work. No one need
fear to use either Of these products
for any purpose, and their flavor and
sugar content are both very salts
factory. The gingerbreads made
with them by Miss Stanley were all
highly approved-the choice between
the lighter-colored product made
from the Duff and the darker
produced by the Brer Rabbit brand
being largely matter Of taste.
A Special Syrup
Sugar cane syrups have been
even more affected by the march of
civilization than the molasscs. Origi-
nally, they were made direct from
the cane juices, condensed not quite
so far as a molasses, less thick, but
having none of the sugars removed
nor any of the distinctive character
'stics Of the cane.
Now, many mixtures are sold as
syrups, all wholesome enough, but
most Of them lacking the quality
and flavor of the old product. A
sugar cane syrup, according to the
standards Of the government, must
not have more than 80 per cent Of
water or 2.5 per cent Of minerals.
A syrup made by merely dissolving
sugar-a sugar syrup-must not
have more than 35 per cent of
water, and refner's syrup, the LIQUID
New-York tribune., 1920-11-07

cleaning factor. The best work was
done with the rubber brush in this
case, the standard lint test showing
that this type Of dirt was removed
in eight strokes, slightly less than
the average. In the flour test, rep
resenting the usual type of fine dust
dirt, the suction alone or the rubber
brush removed it in four strokes,
which again is slightly better than
average results for the eight clean
ers on which these data were OBJ
tanned.
In other words, the domestic sci
ence practical tests showed better
than average performance on floor
operations, especially with the sue
ton alone or with the MOTOR driven
rubber brush, which did better
work in the Institute than the bris-
tie brush.
The cost Of operation an hour is
1.57 cents with a ten-cent rate for
electricity and a 1.1-cent cost at the
local rate of seven cents, which rep
resents just the average for all
types Of machines.
The comparatively light weight,
the generous width Of nozzle and
New-York tribune., 1920-11-07

is as delicious pastry as one could
bake in the midst of summer, and
this syrup furnishes the basis Of
the butterscotch and the liquid in
which the peaches were cooked.
This is a real adventure in pie
making. We have blazed the trail,

Recipes for Using
Molasses Properly

HAVE you ever, in passing down
the street of some strange city,
caught Whit of spicy gingerbread
baking in somebody's oven? Did not
the odor cause pangs of homesickness
and recollections of that old, roomy
kitchen, with grandmother cutting
out gingerbread men along with the
other molasses cookies?
To be sure, the most popular and
exclusive molasses product is ginger
bread, and when it is light and ten
der it is most delectable eating
There are several different recipes
for gingerbread; it can be made with
hot water, sour cream, sweet milk
or coffee as the liquid. But the cheap
est way is the best this time: the
water gingerbread is the tenderest.

Soft Hot Water Gingerbread

Combine one cupful of molasses
with one and one-half cupsful of
boiling water and one teaspoonful
of soda. Allow to cool and then
add to one-half cupful of any good
fat which has been creamed with
one cupful of sugar. Add one-half
teaspoonful of salt, one and one
half teaspoonsful Of ginger, two of
cinnamon, and one-half teaspoonful
each of allspice and cloves. Beat
well, add one well beaten egg and
two and one-half cupsful of flour
which has been sifted with three
teaspoonsful Of baking powder.
Have the batter very thin and bake
in moderately hot oven (375 de
grees F.) for about twenty minutes.
Then reduce the heat slightly and
bake for ten minutes more.
Baking the cake in this way gives
a very crisp, candied crust with a
light, delicate crumb. Milk may be
substituted for water If the batter
is not very thin add a little more
milk, so that it runs off the spoon
and "ribbons.'
If sour cream is used as the liquid,
reduce the fat one-half and add one
half teaspoonful more soda. In u.s.
ing coffee make in the same manner
as when using hot water.

The Cleaning W orld

TNHE Frantz Premier vacuum
4 cleaner was one of the hon
ored pioneers in electrified
cleaning, and it depended primarily
on suction for cleaning, supplement-
ed by a traction-drivcn rubber comb
in the nozzle. 1t is still doing so in
the model known now as the Pre-
mier and most reasonably priced.
But the New Premier is equipped
with two motor-driven brushes, join
ing the ranks of the machines rep
resenting the theory that the well
known action of the old-fashioned
broom SHOULD not be abandoned.
Electric motive power and air sue
tion and the swallowing of the dust
by the bag have been substituted
for the broom run by elbow action,
the open window and the dust-laden
atmosphere of olden times, but
brush action for the lint type of
dirt is still advocated by many.
Two Brushes This Time
Two brushes are provided for the
New Premier, one Of the soft
toothed, rubber-toothed variety
(Which, by the way is easier to
clean than a bristle brush) that fits
tightly over a steel spindle, and the
other the usual type made Of five
eighths-inch bristle tufts stapled
into q wooden spindle.
A special point is that these
brushes are O.OS inch higher than
the nozzle, which is set rather closer
than the average machine above the
carpet (011 inch), and so the air
must pull the carpet up to the brush
before the sweeping action can
begin. The point in this construc-
ton is to minimize the wear and tear
