ITEM OF If) Some Have Special Place in Cookery All Are Useful On Table Wide Dif ference in Food Values Sirup ol soma kind, as well a sugar, li usually an Item in the well stocked pantry. Some of the sirups have a special place In cookery, and In some parts of the country, slrlp or molasses appear on the table at every meal. That may be too often for a well-balanced diet, for sweets take away the appetite and crowd out more Jmptant foods, such as milk and vegetables and fruits. But such Is the -sweet tooth of America. There are sirups and sirups, how-i ever, and they differ In food values; as well as In flavor and consistency, j says the Bureau of Home Economics of the U. 8. Department of Agrlcul-! ture. Considered geographically, there are the sugar-cane product of the, "deep south" cane sirup, molasses j and refined sirups; in the "sorghum; belt," which reaches northward from the sugar-cane belt, sorgo or sor ghum sirup; In New England and some other northern states, maple sirup. Corn sirup comes, of course, from the corn belt of the middle west. Then there Is plain sugar sirup, made of sugar (beet or cane) and water. And last but not least there Is honey, produced In nearly all the stntefi, the one sirup that nature of fers rencly made. Make Own Ctine Hlrun Cane sirup Is made where the sugar used in the states where the sugar j cane grows. There, they say, every household ha its cane sirup, either made on the home farm or bought in a local stare. The farmers raise the sugar cane and maka the sirup by pressing out the juice and boiling it down to sirup thickness. Thus cane sirup contains all the food values of the sugar cane Juice, most Important of which are Iron and cal cium. Government regulations re quire that the cane sirup, to be so labeled, ahall consist of evaporated augar cane Juice conatlnlng not more than 30 per cent water. Molasses and refiners' sirup are by products of the commercial cane sugar manufacturing process. They are sold all over the country In one form or another. When the "raw" augnr Is crystallized out of the sugar cane Juice, a "mother" liquid is left. Concentrated and clarified, this Is molasses, of which there are different grniles according to the amount of aiignr taken out. "Cooking molasses," therefore, as one grade is sometlmrs called, differs from "table molasses" in being leas sweet. "Blackstrap" is the lowest grade and has very little augnr. Any molasses, - however, con tains all the food values of the enne Juice except that part taken out In the raw sugar, and, like sirup, Is rich in iron and calcium. To be cor rectly labeled, molasses must contain more thnn 28 per cent water. MoluNsra Aids dikes Molasses, as evory cook knqwV is "the very making" of some kinds of cakes, cookies and candles because of the flavor and texture It gives.

Oeorge Dayton and his 8-piece or chestra will provide the music. Dancing will begin at 9:00 o'clock and continue until 12:30 or 1:00, Fire Chief Roy Elliott said. This is the thirteenth ball to be sponsored by the Medford fire de partment, this series ob popular so cial events having been Inaugurated in 1923. Tickets may be obtained at the fire hall or from members of the organisation. The Medford fire department la rated by the state fire marshal's of fice as one of the most efficient In Oregon. Last year the department established a new low record for fire loss In Medford and Chlei Elliott said today that the prospects of achieving an even better record for 1035 are good- Harry E.

The other by-product of sugar making, retlners' sirup, Is the llquir left from the refining of the brown, or "raw," cane sugar Into white sugar. It has tho enne-sirup, flavor and brown color, and Is lined often In mixtures with other sirups, under various trade names. In the sorphum belt, the farmers grow sweet sorghum cane and make sorgo sirup from it in the same way their neighbors to the southward make cane sirup. The sorgo food values are higher. If anything, than the cane sirup values. More than 13 million gallona of sorgo sirup were made In this country last year, and this year there will doubtless be more because the sorshum crop ia blgtcr. Sorgo Is a table sirup, dark, thick, and strong flavored, and Is used Just as molnascs is used in coking. Sor ghum sirup, hy the way, Is sometimes wrongly called sorghum molasses Therel s no such thing ns molasses made from aorghum. Under the law the label 'sorghum sirup" or "sorpo sirup" bclonRs to the product made by evaporation of juice omninen irom the sorghum plant unci contains more than 30. per cent water. Mnplr Hlrup Mime Sugar maple trees yield the sap that makes the only native American sirup. Though sugar cane and sorghum were brought to this country from the other side of the world, the In dians were making maple sirup long before white men nppcarwl on the American scene. The maple flavor Is considered by many people the finest of alt sirup flavors, and maple sirup or maple sugar Is used In cakes and puddings, saucps. Ice creams, and candles of choicest kinds. As to food vahie, however, sugar is the chief Item.

Tor this reason, and because of tha wide demand, maple sirup Is often diluted for market, or lmltnted. Maple mix tures usunlly contain sugar sirup or refiners' sirup tor corn sirup with maple, but no mixed sirup may be legally sold as maple. The label "Maple sirup" is allowed only on sirup madftjby evaporating mnpte and or by dissolving mnple sugar in water. The product must not contain more thnn 35 per cent water and must not weigh leas than 11 pounds to the gallon. Imitations are to be distin guished from mlxturoB. They con tain ho maple sirup and must be la beled "Imitation" or "Artificially fla vored and colored." Kiifinr .Makes Sirups Sugar sirup, which Is used com mercially In sirup mixtures, Is made by dissolving sugar In water and boll Inn, it clown to a sirup thickness. It usually Is mndc at home, perhaps with brown sugar, perhaps wit.li white sugar (beet or cane) and fruit or other flavoring, to use with hot cukes for breakfast, as sauce for some des sert, or as sweetening for drinks, es pecially Iced drinks. Corn sirup differs from other sirups tn the kinds of sugar It contain. and in the purposes it serves. In the cane products, in sorgo and In maple sirup, most of the sugar Is the kind chemists call sucrose. Corn sirup Is chiefly glucose and maltose, neither of which Is by any menus as aweet aa sucrose. For table purposes, corn sirup Is usually mixed with refiners' sirup or maple sirup, to give it sweet ness and flavor. The mixtures are sold under various trade names. The corn sirup known as "crystal white, which is about 00 per cent corn sirup and 10 per cent sugar sirup, is color less and very useful In making soft candles and some kinds of frostlngs for cakes, because the glucose In It keeps them from crystallizing too much, or, as we say, "turning to sugar." Corn sirup Is largely used in some of the maple sirup mixtures, as the labels, of course, are required to show. Honey, manufactured by the beca from the nectar of flowers, la the sweetest of all sirups because it con tains so much of the sweetest of all the sugars, levulose. It is used as other sirups arc used, and is prized for Its unique flavor. Acquitted In Itent-l'p ASTORIA.
