CORN SUGAR MUCH
USED INJIARRISBURG
[Continued from hirst Page.]
that it is made In limited quantities,
which can hardly be increased, owing
to the nature of its manufacture.
Two thousand bags of 100 pounds
each of corn sugar have been used
in Harrisburg during the past six
months. During that time the places
and methods for its use have been
increased twelve fold, it was said
by S. R. Coover, of the Witman-
Schwarz Wrolesale Grocery Com
pany, this morning.
lined to Advantage
The common use of corn sugar here
was not generally suspected until
patrons of public eating places dis
covered the little yellow grains mixed
with the graaulated sugar which they
poured Into their coffee and onto their
cereals and desserts. It has "been
commonly used in ice cream, and can
be used to advantage by ice cream
manufacturers, Mr. Coover said. It's
use in bread is also becoming com
mon. Corn sugar is always mixed
with cane sugar to insure a palatable
product.
Besides these common uses, it is
being tried out in many other ways.
Corn sugar costs about a half a
cent a pound less to the wholesaler
than cane sugar. The retail cost is
the same. The sweetening qualities
of corn sugar however, are only about
three-fourths those of cane sugar.
Reasons were given this morning
for the fact that the manufacture of
corn sugar cannot be increased to
a point extensive enough to insure
it as a factor in relievlg the sugar
situation. The corn sugar is manu
factured from a small germ in the
end of the corn grain, it was explain
ed, and it was pointed out that very
little sugar can be manufactured
from even a great quantity of corn.
The sugar germ is no larger than
a pin head, which shows how small
is the amount of sugar that can ac
tually be derived from an ear of corn.
The corn is extracted in the process
of manufacturing flucose and starch
from corn. The latter two products
are results of a separate process; corn
sugar is derived as a side issue in
their manufacture.
Corn sugar is a small round yellow
grain. It is about as heavy as cane
sugar. It is manufactured in the
large corn centers of the United
States. Argo, 111.. Is the nearest
Center for the supply of corn sugar
for Harrisburg.
At present there is little corn sugar
held by wholesalers. A few carloads
are expected by the Witman-Schwarz
Company, but there are a dozen places
for every carload that comes in, the
demand has Increased so since the
sugar shortage.

Sinking Springs Contractor Says
Tanlac Restored Health and
Harmony at Home
RESULTS CAME PROMPTLY
"My wife was in a bad way from
nervous indigestion," says Peter R.
Leininger, a well-known stone ma

Penna.
"I read in the paper where Tanlac
hail brought relief in a similar case.
I bought my wife a bottle of this
wonderful medicine and it gave her
relief from the very first doses. She
improved steadily and it wasn't long
until shp found herself enjoying her
meals rfnd sleeping well and long.
"We both feel now that she is
permanently cured and we have
been giving Tanlac to our young son
and he is rapidly becoming well and
strong, so that, thanks to Tanlac,
health and harmony have been re
stored to our home."
Tanlac is now being introduced

John C. Stooss, Lemoyne
Barber, Dies From Stroke
- •
JOflN C. STOOSS
Lemoyne, Pa., Aug. 23.—John C.
Stooss, widely-known barber of Har
risburg for years, and who holds a
record for attending Sunday school
fifty-four years without missing a
session, died at his home here yes
terday afternoon, following a stroke
suffered two weeks ago.
Although in ill health for more
than year, Mr. Stooss did not miss
a session of Sunday school and up
to six months ago held his remark
able record of continuous attend
ance at sessions. Seized with a sud
den attack of illness about that time
he was compelled to miss a session,
but the following week started out
to make a new record for himself.
Hp managed to attend weekly until
two weeks ago, when he was seized
with a stroke. During the severe cold
weather last winter, despite the ad
vice of physicians. Mr. Stooss with
the assistance of his wife and daugh
cr managed to get to Sunday school
every Sunday.
Mr. Stools, who was 73 years old,
started this remarkable record in
Germany. He attended Sunday school
for fourteen years in Germany and
forty years in this country, making
a total of fifty-four years 'without
missing a session.
Born in Germany, Mr. Stooss came
to this country in 1865. As ajiarber
he located in Broadway, New York,
and later moved to Harrisburg,
where he followed his trade for a,
number of years. In 1898 he came to
Lemoyne, where he has lived since.
Because of ill health Mr. Stooss
was compelled to rety-e from busi
ness several years ago and since that
; time has been living a retired life
here. For several terms he was town
assessor and was also active in
church work. Until a short time ago
he was teacher of the Young Men's
Bible class of the Lutheran Church,
which he organized about ten years
ago.
Surviving him are his wife, three
daughters, Mrs. George E. Ellis, of
Lemoyne; Mrs. J. W. Walck, of
Steelton, and Miss Pansy Stooss of
Lemoyne. Funeral services w'ill be
held to-morrow afternoon at 2
o'clock from his late home. Burial
will be made in the Prospect Hill
Cemetery.

The exact line as it now stands cannot be given, but some of
the towns taken by the British are- nearly a mile inside of the
positions where the Germans are believed to have stood yesterday
and the greatest advance is said to be two miles.
When it is realized the fighting on this front is along the lines
which were strongly intrenched by the Germans and held by. them
until the .great British offensive before Albert in 1916, the im

Battle Rages on 50-Mile Front
London, Aug. 23.—A battle is raging to-day in France on one

successfully for the Entente Allies.
The British Third army has gained more than a mile on a
front of more than seven miles.
The British Fourth army has gained more than two miles on a
front of seven miles.
COUNTY MAY HIRE
EXPERTFOR PROBE
[Continued from First Page.]
This section was taken after the Wed
nesday and Thursday in Scranton,
getting data on how Lackawanna
county boosted its coal land assess
ment in ten years from $4,000,000 to
its present figure of $100,000,000.
The Commissioners are thinking
seriously of employing Lackawanna
county's mining engineer, T. Ells
worth Davies. Davies is the man who
boosted the coal land assessment in
his home county and he told Solici
tor Moyer that there is need for
boosting the Dauphin county assess
ments which, comparatively, are a
paltry $833,000. The engineer said
he would be glad to help the Dauphin
commissioners make the assessment;
the Lackawanna county commission
ers said they'd have no objection to
Mr. Davies coming here and the engi
neer urges that the results to be ob
tained through an examination of
Dauphin county coal lands would
more than warrant and repay the ex
pense.
Davies thinks that Dauphin county
coal lands are worth anywhere from
$12,000,000 to $15,000,000 and the ag
gregate may run to $20,000,000. The
county commissioners passed a reso
lution directing their chief clerk to
write the engineer and have him come
here for a conference on September 4
or September 9.
Solicitor Moyer's message from the
Lackawanna county officials great
ly enthused the county commission
ers. The engineer didn't tell Mr.
Moyer what it might cost Dauphin
county to make the examination of
the mines but that will be the chief
point of inquiry when Mr. Davies
conies here in September. The com
missioners fixed September 9 as an
alternate date although they would
like to meet him on September 4
because they all insisted "we want
to get this thing started as quickly as
possible." , ,
According to what Davies told the
solicitor, it will take at least two
months to thorough examine the
coal lands. That will include the
coal fields of the Susquehanna Coal
Company in and around Williams
town and Lykens, which are being
worked, and also the Rush town
ship land of the Reading Coal and
Iron Company which Davies insists
contain marketable coal that is
workable. This latter tract the
Reading company always has insist
ed contains no workable coal deposits
and because the county heretofore
has had no way of confirming or
disproving that contention, the land
always has been assessed as timber
land, at an extremely low figure.
A Big Task
If Dauphin county employes Dav
ies, as is expected, the engineer said
he will need the services of another
mininig engineer, an assistant engi
neer and at least two clerks. Davies
wouldn't have to do much prelimin
ary work before beginning the actual
examinations down in the mines be
cause he made maps and profiles and
gatheredl other data on Dauphin
county coal lands when he made a
superficial survey and was halted in
the midst of his work because he

couldn't get down Into the mines.
However, that time Davies was not
in the employ of the county.
If the commissioners engage him
there'll be no trouble about getting
down- into the mines, the commis
sioners said.
With Davies at the helm, the
Lackawanna county commissioners
started in 1907 to boost the coal !an,d
assessments. The aggregate then
was $4,000,000. and it was sent t;p
to $36,000,000 in one jump. In the
next triennial assessment $2,000,000
more was added and then in 1917
It was sent up to $100,000,000, ac
cording to the data Moyer obtained.
And Dgv-.es told Moyer, he said,
that all the while the county was
boosting the assessment the coal
company was reporting that annual
ly it was getting anywhere from
$18,000,000 to $20,000,000 worth of
coal from the mines.
Books Changed
Davies told Moyer that the assess
ment books for the coal mining sec
tions of this county will have to be
changed and some other records
will have tb be modified if the coun
ty adopts the Lackawanna county
system. Up there the assessment is
laid on the acre and regulated by
the thickness of the coal veins. Land
in which the coal veins are two feet
or less thick are not assessed as coal
land but that which contains heav
ier *veins are assessed at the rate
of $3OO per foot of coal per acre.
Hence where the vein is forty feet
thick, the acreage assessment is forty
times $3OO, pr $12,000 an acre. Ex
cept whore the coal company owns
the surface ground, the coal land is
assessed separately from the surface
land. And the county has separate
assessments on the breakers, and
real estate. The $3OO an acre assess
ment is about seventy-five per cent,
of full value. An examination of
the Dauphin county coal lands by a
mining engineer, Davies assured
Moyer. will furnish the county com
plete data with respect to width and
breadth of ccal veins and the com
missioners say it will provide them
with the first real foundation upon
which they can boost the assess
ments.
