Opportunity for Ureuers Here
And right liere in rhiladelphia. with

the United .States Department of Agii
etilture finds opportuiiity, and right at
the imeliologionl moment, for the
"leopard to ehiinge his spots," and tlie
disfavored brewer to heroine the leseuer
of the nation in its sugar eiisis.
In malt sugar sirup lies the eure. saj
the specialists of the lliiienii of Chemis
try, who hae investigated ariojis miIj
Btitutes for sugar.
Findings of thee experts arc thus
eet forth in the weekl bulletin of the
Department of Agriculture:
"In addition to being n sweet, malt
sugar sirup has a delicious ilimir,
Minicwhat resembling that of honej ,
which adds much to its palatabllity and
yaluc as n sugar substitute.
Commercial Prodiiitlon Itegluivlng
'"Vhile malt sugar has long been
known to chemists, its production on a
commercial t-calo is onlj beginning.
Walt sugar simp is made from the same
grains as beer, and inn be made from
corn or potatoes or nuj plant contain
ing starch, ltarle.i, which was used
until recently in the manufacture of
beer, can bo used now to prodiiLV mnlt
jBiigar sirup.
"llicweries, with er little change,
can be used, and are now being used,
for its manufacture. I'p to a certain
point the process for making malt sugar
sirup is the same ns the process tor
making beer.
"Malt sugar sirup looks ery much
like maple sirup. It can lie useil toi i
everything that cane sugar is used for i
While i,s use on the table maj not be
quite as convenient as sugar. It is a
most excellent substitute for table use.
For cooking and baking pin poses and
for making candj it is not onl equal
to sugar in convenience and food alue
but is superior for some uses because
it will not so readilv crjstallize.
Used in .Manufacture of Candy
"Malt sugar sirup is now being sold
in large quantities to comiueicial bak
eries and candj and soft-drink iniinu
facturers, who lisp it in place of sugar.
The whnleale price, as quoted in re
cent advertisements in trade papers
and elsewhere, is fiom seven to nine
cents per pound in barrel lots. Main
" fetuil grocers do not handle it jet be
cause there has been little demuud for
it on the part of housewives.
"(iroccrs can now obtain it and no
doubt will be glad to do so as the de
mand for it incr-ases. Housewives can
well conserve their dwindling supply
of sugar by using it in cooking, baking
and homemade can feet ions, and even
on the table for sweetening coffee, n.it
tneal and desserts. It can be used for
every purpose for which sugar is used.
If the housewives want it, the grocer-,
will get it."
