Methods of reducing the con sumption of Bugar in soft drinks have been worked out by the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agricul ture, which is now cooperating with producers throughout the United States. The bureau has prepared directions for making soft drinks which include form ulas that utilize substitute sweet materials anch as corn sirup (ordinary glucose), corn sugar, tnaltoae sirup, honey, and high- grade refiner's sirup. By follow ing these directions, which are being distributed among bottlers the actual sugar content in soft drinks can be cut to 50 per cent or less. A saving of approxi mately 50,000 tons of sugar 'an nually, is thus possible, it is esti mated, and at the same time the customary taste and quality of the beverage can be preserved. It is estimated that there are 110,000 producers of soft drinks in the United States, employing 2,000,000 workers, and having a total capitalization of $250,000, 000.

Did you have your steam boiler inspected ? Tom Comerer didn't. A short time ago the thresher men of this county were vis'ted by Mr. S. S. Leach, of Everett, who informed them that the State required that they should have their steam boilers i n -spected, that he was the gentle men that did the work, and that the cost would bo eleven dollars per. Most of the threshermen didn't talk back. T. J. Comerer saw an attorney first, and when tne attorney requested Mr. Leach to show his credentials, the in spector waxed wroth, and de parted. The attorney wrote to the Department of Labor and Industry at Harrisburg and from the reply, received the following information: "Mr. Leach is an authorized inspector to inspect boilers operated by the Pennsyl vania Threshermen and Farmers' Protective Association. By an arrangement between the Threshermen's association and theinspectors appointed by THEM, the fee for inspection . to mem bers of the association IS $3.00 plus expenses. The inspection of boilers where farm labor is employed is a protective measure, and one which we believe i9 nec essary, altho at the present time, NOT COMPULSORY." The kick against Mr. Leach is, that he represented to thresh ermen that it was compulsory on their part to have their boil ers examined, that he was ap pointed by the State for that purpose, and that it was up to them to pay the fee he assessed. Good Koads Saved France. Good roads have twice saved France in the present war. Had it not been for the radiating road system maintained by the French Government, the Germans would have won the battle of the Mame and reached Paris. The Ger mans had calculated on only three divisions being sent out from Paris to stop the invasion. In stead the excellent system of highways made it possible for five divisons to.be sent to the front. Again, shortly after the battle of Verdun started, the French railroad which was to furnish many of the supplies to the troops was destroyed. The French Gov ernment, however, had a macad am road 32 feet wide on which four lines of traffic, two in either direction, were maintained. Day and night 14.000 motor trucks carried men and equip ment. The traffic never stopped. When a hole was made in the road, a man with a shovelful of rock slipped in between the lines of trucksand threw the rock into the hole, then jumped aside to let the trucks roll the rock down. Then another man would follow his example, and so on until the hole was filled. Trucks that broke down were shoved aside, and repaired almost instantly. Had the French depended on their railroad or on poor highways the Germans would have won the battle. There are few places in which good roads will win great milita ry victories. But there are many places in which they will win great victories in time of peace. Whenever a crisis-military, economic, or social occurs in the life of acommunity, the condition of thorifads is a significant factor in determining whether the com' munity will go up or down, for ward or backward. The com munity with good roads is the community that will deliver the goods when the necessity comes. Subscribe for the Nkws. Bo It For The Other Fellow. "It sooms to me that in view of the great demand 'or the ceroal n'.in8 and toe fact that there are larjM rueaH of productive land in i'ti jsjlvauia whi:i have not been farmed t ut which would pro duce such a crop as rye, that a begianins; should be made this fall to raise this crop on these i'.iln," says Prof. Franklin Men- gus, farm adviser of thePonnsyl vama Department of Agriculture. "Sods of various typos, in many instances nods of weeds, and an others some of the pasture grass es, have been growing on these soils. Because of tnu they have become unfitted for raising the more exacting cereals such as wheat, oats and corn in paying quantities. However, thoy will produce Kuch less exacting crops as rye and buckwheat "It is more than likely that at this lime the state tractors are not so busily engaged as they have been du.itig the spring and as tbey will be when the time comes for fall plowiug. The trac tors could bo profitably engaged oy the people who own land of this character in the various ounties of the state and who would be willing to risk some thing in paying the ti actor ser vice, 6eed and f.ruhzer and bo cinio one of the great army of farmers 'vho are working from fourteen to sixteen hours a day to help feed the people of our country and our allies at war. "Those farmers are staying the advance cf a conquering general, starvation, whose withering hand is blighting the force of arms in Russia, Austria, Italy, Finland and especially in the neutral countries such as Holland, Den mark, Sweden and Spain. This U not au effort to do in tensive farming, but to husband the raw fertility in the soils re ferred to, which has accumulated during years of neglect and to in corporate it in a crop of ryo. Near the market where the haul is short and mills are plentiful this crop can be most readily bandied to advantage This is not tbe time for intensive farming, but it is tbe time for extensive larming. In other words, this is tbe time when all land which had not been farmed and which has accumulated, during a period of rest, a sufficient amount of raw fertility which such a crop as rye can utilize and convert into a large quantity of high feeding quality human food." NEW l'OWEKFUL GAS MADE IN PHILADELPHIA. Phihdolphia, July 27. Right hare in Philadelphia as masks are being made that will revolu tionize 'gas warfare." They are admit edly superior to any now in use by Eogliab or French troops. They are virtually perfect, be ing able to "take care" of any and all of the seventy-six different kinds of gas used by Fritzio. As if that wasn't honor enough for this city, comes tbe development that government chemists working in the various laboratories in tho city, notably at tho University of Pennsylva ma, have just perfected a gas that "no Gorman mask can stop." ' Uncle Sara" is going to give the Germans a real touch of their own warfare. The most deadly of all the Hun pases is known as the "G-76 " This nowly Invented American gas is so much more powerful and deadly than "G 76" as to make comparisons impossible. It U now being manufactured as quickly as possible and when turned ootiu sufficient quantities will be slipped overseas to Gen eral Pershing. After our men become proficient in its use it will be turned upon the Germans. It is so positively deadly that in the unlimited tests that tbe American officers have made of it no mask of any nation can stand up under it. It will, liter ally and figuratively, burn its way to Berlin. Tho naturo of the invention is not permitted to be told. It is a closely guarded government se cret. For months the chemists have been at work in various lab oratories perfecting the product to its present point. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mellott and two grand-children Willie and Ruth Hendershot, spent the time from Friday until Monday with friends in Somerset, Pa. FAIR FOOD PRICES.
