One Cereal That
Needs No Sugar
Grap-Nuts needs no sugar I
Unlike most cereal foods it contains its own
natural sweetening, obtained through the famous
Grape-Nuts process from the wheat and barley
from which it is made.
This natural sweet is the starch of the grain
changed into a healthful, life-giving sugar.
This change is brought about by the ferment,
diastase, in barley malt, and by long baking.
The result is a wonderful food, easy to
abundantly sweet in its own right, nourishing! ,

DESERTER FROM GERMAN ARMY
NOW IN UNITED STATES SERVICE
Private Fuees, Native of Lorraine, Compelled to Serve Nine
teen Months With Prussian Command; Escaped
Through Holland; Now in Tank Corps
at Gettysburg
Gettysburg, Pa., Aug. I.—An in
teresting" persons in Camp Colt is
Private Fuees,' a member of the
Casual Company. He served nine
teen months In the Germa'h army
and deserted, escaping across the
Holland border, and came to Ameri
ca, where he enlisted in the Tank
Corps, so that he could go back and
tight against Germany. He is a
native of Lorraine.
Fuees was called into the service
in the German army shortly after
the outbreak of the war. An un
willing soldier, he found himself in
the midst of conditions unpleasant
and revolting. He tells that the con
duct of the German soldiers i.i Lor
raine was practically the same j's in
Belgium, and he makes it very clear
that he does not put the btame any
moro upon the officers than upon
the privates.
Ten Pounds of Sugar
Make Fourteen? Yes
New York, Aug. 1. —Making ton
pounds of sugar do the work of four
teen pounds is made possible by a
Simple method discovered by J. J.
Willaman, member cf the Minnesota
section of the American Chemical
Society.
When cane sugar is subjected to a
chemical change called hydrolysis,
it is converted into invert sugar,
which is a mixture of equal parts of
glucose and fructose, the character
istic sugar of ripe fruits, especially
apples and pears. The fructose part
of invert sugar, weight for weight, is
30 per cent, sweeter than cane sugar.
Any housewife can easily make in
vert sugar syrup. Take ten pounds
of granulated sugar, 4 4 pints of
water and 1-5 ounce of tartaric acid
(obtained at any drug store) and
boil slowly in a covered kettle for
about 30 to 35 minutes. The result
is 14 pounds of syrup from the 10
pounds of sugar, and, weight for
weight, the two are equivalent in
sweetening power. The syrup can
be used foi sweetening all sorts of
cooking, fruits, cereals, ice cream,
etc., although it may not be relish
ed in cofTee. The syrup must be sub
stituted for granulated sugar weight
for weight, since about 3-4 of a rup
of syrup is equal to a cup of sugar.
The pitcher of syrup may yet re
place the sugar bowl on our tables
before the war is over.
