TackingMr. Henpecko was busily engaged as-

sisting friend wife with her housecleaning.Just as he hit his finger for the fifth time,tacking down the kitchen's new linoleum,Brago came in and jocosely remarked:"Pretty bad day for driving, isn't it?"

DaisiesBy Bliss Carmen

Over the shoulders and slopes of the duneI saw the white daisies go down to the sea,

A host in the sunshine, an army in June,The people God sends us to set our hearts free.

The bobolinks rallied them up from the dell,The orioles whistled them out of the wood;

And all of their sayin' was, "Earth it is well!"And all of their dancin' was, "Life, thou art good!'

Corn Syrup—and Corn SyrupEditor's Note—At this time we are

printing a letter which was sent outrecently by the Staley Company toManufacturing confectioners. Thecolor plates used in connection withthis article are exact reproductionsof the samples made in the candytest mentioned.

Manufacturing Confectioners:

Sales talks these days seem to be filledwith glittering generalities which aremeaningless and often times not based onfacts. Such stories sound good, but sooften the goods that is delivered does notmeasure up to the buyer's elevated ex-pectations.

The capable and efficient buyer mustdiscount the generalities and check ondefinite specifications in order to buy tothe best advantage for his company.

We have always advocated that CornSyrup should be purchased on analysis.Frequently we hear that "Corn Syrup isCorn Syrup". The facts and results con-tradict this "pigs is pigs" attitude, andwe are pleased that more and more buyersand candy makers are considering thequality and uniformity of Corn Syrup.

We attach one of our regular reportsshowing some of the more important testsmade and kept on every batch of Staley'sImproved Corn Syrup. A brief descrip-tion of these tests and their purpose isalso enclosed for those interested.

If at any time you want a similar reporton the Corn Syrup you buy from us, justgive us the batch number as shown on thebarrels or the tank car number, and wewill promptly mail you a copy of ouroriginal analysis.

Our laboratory will be pleased to fu r -nish you an unbiased analysis on anysamples of Corn Syrup you may care tosend us. Only by comparison can youdetermine the relative value of merchan-dise.

In some organizations, unfortunately,"We are at your service" has becomethread-bare and almost meaningless. Not

so with the Staley Company, because dayby day we are increasing the significanceof this term by enlarging our servicescope

Call on us!Yours very truly,

A. E. STALEY MFG. CO.E. K. SCHEITER,

Company prior to shipment to the trade.Any questions arising will be gladly andpromptly answered.

GRAVITYGravity is reported in degrees Baume at

100 degrees Fahrenheit and is governedby the amount of dry substance materialsin the Syrup. For example, a 43° CornSyrup has a gravity of 43° Baume, andcontains 82.03% by weight of dry sub-stance materials, while a Syrup having agravity of 42° Baume contains 79.93%dry materials.

The gravity is determined as follows:A sample of the Corn Syrup to be testedis placed in a copper cylinder, and keptin a constant temperature water bath(140° F.) for one hour, or until the tem-perature of the Syrup has reached 140°F. A standardized hydrometer is thenplaced in the liquid and allowed to re-main until it has come to rest. The read-ing on the scale is recorded, and the read-ing taken again after an interval of tenminutes. In case these two readings arenot the same, the test is continued untiltwo consecutive readings agree. In thisway we are certain that the hydrometerhas reached its lowest level, and that thecorrect gravity has been obtained.

Thus the actual reading is taken at140° F. and a correction of 0.1° Baumeis made for each four degrees of temper-ature, and the gravity is reported at 100°F.

ACIDITY

Acidity is reported in percentage andis calculated as Hydrochloric Acid, andrepresents total acidity. It is determinedby titrating an acurately weighed sampleof the Corn Syrup (diluted with neutral-ized distilled water) with standard Sod-ium Hydroxide solution, using phenolph-thalein as an indicator. This property isan important factor and may influencethe color and clarity of the product. Itis also of prime importance to the candymanufacturer , as a Syrup with a high

310° F. 3203 F.

acidity may give a high inversion, result-ing in sticky or moist hard candy.

PH VALUEThe pH value expresses the acidity due

to the free Hydrogen ions or Hydrogenion concentration. It differs from acid-ity reported as such in that it measuresthe active acidity only, while the acidityby tit ration indicates both active and po-tential.

The inversion of sugar during boiling isdirectly proportional to the Hydrogen ionconcentration. At a pH value of 7 thesolution is neutral. As the pH value ap-proaches 7 the tendency towards inver-sion is lowered. Therefore, a pH valueof between 5 and 6 is better for con-fectioners than that between 4 and 5.

CANDY TESTThe Candy Test is made to determine

just how the product will act when usedin the manufacture of various candies.It is determined by cooking one part ofCorn Syrup, two parts Confectioner'sCrystal "A" cane sugar, and one-half partof distilled water in an open kettle to340° F.

The test as reported includes Inversion,Time of Cooking, and Color of the re-sulting candy. Beginning at 280° F. andcontinuing to 340° F., small samples ofthe candy are taken at every 10° temper-ature and poured into moulds where theyare observed after cooling, for color andfreedom from stickiness. The Inversionas reported, indicates the amount of invertsugar formed when the Syrup and canesugar are cooked together.

A sample of the candy is taken at 32Q~F., five grams of this are dissolved in 1 00cubic centimeters of distilled water, andthe amount of Reducing Sugar determinedby titration with Fehling's Solution. Fromthis result the amount of Reducing Sugarin the Corn Syrup is deducted, the re-mainder being the amount of ReducingSugar formed in the cooking of the candy.

THE STALEY JOURNAL

Realizing that a candy high in Invert orReducing Sugar content soon becomes softand sticky, we have used every effort tomanufacture a product giving a low in-version, and thus admirably suited for theconfectioner's uses.

PURITYPurity represents the percentage of

Reducing Sugars in the total solids, and isdetermined by titrating for ReducingSugar against Fehling's Solution. The re-sults so obtained are then calculated to adry substance basis, and reported as thepurity of the product.

The Purity effects the body of theSyrup, a high percentage of sugar caus-ing a less viscous syrup.

The above analysis having been care-fully made by competent technologists,the results together with the type samplesof each batch tested are submitted to theInspection Department for approval orrejection. These men are carefully trainedin their particular field, and use theutmost diligence in their inspection of theproduct, bearing in mind any special re-quirements which the purchaser mayhave.

In order to have ready access to theanalysis of the individual batches the In-spection Department keeps a completerecord of the above results, and also hasfiled a sample of each batch for futurereference in case of question.

Tornado Strikes DecaturWhen the tail end of a Texas tornado

swept a path through Decatur May 9 theStaley plant suffered, but fortunately es-caped the more lasting serious injurieswhich some of its neighbors experienced.Dipping down over Decatur shortly before5 o'clock that Monday afternoon, thestorm found most of the employes at theirposts of duty.

A stiff high wind had been blowingsince the day before, and for more thanan hour it had been raining. Suddenlythat unmistakable whistling roar washeard and the air seemed full of every-thing which a few minutes before hadbeen reposing properly in its place onthe ground.

At the Staley plant crashing windowpanes and the sharp snapping of short-circuited electric wires could be heardabove the storm. Great sections of metalwall board, whole slabs of roofing mate-rial and sheets of glass rushed with wallsof driven rain as the wind tore throughthe plant.

When the sky cleared and the tornadohad gone on to other fields, the damageat the plant was found to be consider-able. Countless windows were broken,and the roof and south wall of the garagewere gone, or on the verge of going.Electric wires were down, but consider-ing the severity of the storm their tanglewas not as bad as might have been ex-pected.

While there were a few minor injuriesonly one man had injuries serious enoughto require the attentions of a physician.That was John Moronto, who works in theoil house. His head was cut by flyingtimber. The concrete and steel and brickbuildings which are used almost exclusive-ly at the Staley plant, proved their worthwhen put to the test and the men workingin them were in no danger.

Mr. Staley probably was in as danger-ous position as any one in the plant buthe escaped without a scratch. His officeon the second floor of the main officebuilding, with windows on the west andsouth, "was in the direct path of the storm.Debris from the Mississippi Valley Struc-tural Steel plant flew directly toward theoffice building but the only damage herewas broken windows.

Throughout the plant the foremen saidthat their men showed the most remarka-ble presence of mind. No one got pan-icky, which probably helos account forthe few injuries. In the offices there wereno letters written nor dictated, to be sure,but there was little confusion.

By the time the storm was well overthe various foremen had their men or-

ganized and the repair work had started.The electricians cleared away fallen wiresand made repairs with such rapidity thatwork on the process side was hardlystopped. All the other mechanical de-partments worked as well, and the pro-cess men turned to and helped clear awaythe wreckage. So by evening the nextday traces of the storm about the Staleyplant were slight.

The day after , which was clear andcloudless, many of the things which hap-pened during the storm made good stories.The storm was over and we could seethe less serious side. Mr. Staley, for in-stance, told of his experience. He andhis secretary, Miss Chandler found them-selves bombarded with flying glass and,when they tr'ed to get out of their officesinto the hall, found the door sealed shutby the force of the wind. It was sometime before Mr. Staley, with the assistanceof Mr. Scheiter, finally succeeded in pull-ing tiny Miss Chandler out into the com-paratively safe hallway.

One of the garage men tells of a sud-den and rather head-long leap which hetook into the fountain in the court, al-though he insists that he was blown thereand did not jump. Another man whocrawled into a big tile for safety was al-most drowned when the water poured intohis hiding place.

Many Staley men found their homeidamaged but the majority of them hadtheir houses covered with insurance.

During the tornado Billy Morrow stayedin the "welfare house. He said he knewit would withstand any storm for he hadbuilt it himself.

That was not a rag you saw blowingabout in the court during the storm. Itwas Cap Enlows trying to find some placewhere he would be safe from flying roofsand water. He never did find such aplace.

Kenneth Davidson had walked backfrom lunch and he was hot. He wentinto the office, and it was hot, 80 he raiseda window. Only it happened that thiswas the day after the big storm and thewindow he raised had been "opened" bythe wind most efficiently the day beforeand both panes of glass were alreadygone.

Candy As a FoodBy James J. Sleigh, Technical Department

Many of us can recall the good olddays of yesteryear when we trudged hap-pily along to school with a school bagcarelessly thrown across our shoulders anda copper penny tightly held in one handor stowed away in a pocket. This littlebut mighty piece of currency, with highbuying power in those days, was to beused to provide sweets of some kind atthe recess period.

For years the candy industry as wellas the refiners have been trying to edu-cate the public as to the food value ofcandy. Sugars whether sucrose, dextrose,levulose, or in any other combination orphysical proportion are very essential asthey produce the necessary heat units inthe form of calories. One could not sur-vive indefinitely on sugars, for fats, pro-teins, and mineral salts are very neces-sary; still it has been proved that theydo have wonderful value in the produc-tion of energy and endurance. Athleteswho are about to undergo a severe en-durance test are almost completely de-prived of high protein value foods andfed on cream chocolates or some otherform of sugars.

One can very readily prove this to hisown satisfaction by eating a few pieces ofcandy after a hard day's work. It hasbeen said that a famous sprinter lost hiscrown by eating a veal pie which is ahigh protein food but does not containthe necessary ingredients to produce theessential calories of endurance. Perhapsif he had eaten a few good coated creamsor a few chocolate bars he might havesurvived. If the wonderful results keepup and we are daily appraised of the foodvalue of candy, who knows but some daywe shall say "Pass me the energy or en-durance"—and immediately be handed abox of candy.

It is of timely interest to mentionGeorge Young, the famous young Can-adian who collected Mr. Wrigley's $25,-000 for winning the Catalina channelswim. What did he do' Ate candy anddrank hot chocolate. The food value andenergy producing qualities of candy werethoroughly demonstrated during the lateworld war, p.s the candy when eaten keptup the strength and prevented exhaustionon forced marches when the boys were farfrom the food supply.

While we are on the subjects of thefood value and energy producing quali-ties of candy, let us reprint a list from arecent issue of "The International Con-fectioner," showing the amount of cal-

ories (heat units) contained in the vari-ous raw materials used in candies ofvarious kinds, but it is to be understoodthat this does not include the total foodvalue, because to arrive at this a thor-ough analysis of the piece would have tobe made to determine the amount ofcarbo-hydrates, fat, and protein in thevarious combinations.

To our friends who have not read anarticle by Prudence Penny in the NewYork Sunday American a few years ago,we are publishing it here in its entiretyfor your perusal. If Miss Penny's adviceis taken, one can still eat candy and notput on weight.

(Prudence Penny, New York Sunday"American," May 3 1 , 1925)

The time has long since passed whencandy is to be regarded as a mere luxury.It is a real food. Candy is composed ofsugar of different kinds, chocolate, nuts,f rui ts , flavorings and colorings. Each ofthese has its own particular value as ap-pealing to the sense of taste, the senseof sight, or the need of the body for nour-ishment.

Sugar undergoes little change duringdigestion. As dextrose it is carried bythe blood through the body and uniteswith oxygen breathed in f rom the air,forming carbon-dioxide, gas and water,in which form it leaves the body. Dur-

THE STXLEY JOURNAL

When R. S. Thomas wain the Near East last yeahe snapped some pictureof candy makers and theishops. In the part of thworld just between the eastand west, open air sweetshops and candy kitchensseem to be quite the thing.

In Turkey and Greece andneighboring countries Mr.Thomas found that a greatmany sweets were madeand eaten, and these shops,out in the streets, were therule rather than the excep-tion.

ing this change energy is produced andused for muscular work. Sugar is morerapidly oxidized than any other kind offoodstuff and makes a very desirable quickfuel food.

The different kinds of sugar used incandy are cane, brown sugar, maple sugarand the different "grindings" of canesugar, such as powdered, confectioners'and others. Molasses, corn syrup andhoney are all used in candies and are allnourishing foods.

Chocolate is obtained from cocoabeans, cleaned, roasted and finely ground.It contains much nourishment in concen-trated form, fat protein and carbo-hydratebeing present, with very little water.Cocoa is used in candies also as part ofthe fondant or in fudges and is preparedfrom the cocoa beans by the removal of aportion of the fat and sugar and flavor-ings are also added.

Almost all kinds of edible nuts are usedin candy making. They are excellentforms of energy. In many candies thedigestibility of the nuts is increased be-came they are finely chopped or ground.

Milk, cream and butter enter into thecomposition of many candies, also eggs,so you see there is additional nourish-ment. Fruits, fresh, canned and dried,

are used in candy making and add bulkand flavor. Fresh f ru i t s are dipped infondant, chocolate or glace, or boileddown to a thick jelly, sugar and gelatineadded, and a most delicious confectionmade. Dried f ru i t s are also much used,figs, dates, raisins and prunes, and we allknow how nutrit ious they are.

Flavorings of all kinds are used by thecandy manufacturers, and they must bepure, as must also the colorings, to passthe Pure Food Laws of the United StatesGovernment.

Gelatine is used in many forms ofcandies and besides making many delici-ous ones, it is in itself a good food. Gum-drops of all sorts and marsh mallowcandies are made with gelatine, sugar,white of eggs and flavorings.

Food is required to furnish energy andheat to the body, material for growth andrepair and for the regulation of bodyprocesses. Heat and energy are found insugar, starch, fat and protein. Materialfor repair and growth is furnished byprotein foods. From the list I have givenyou of materials used in good candy youcan see that it can supply all of these con-stituents and must be classed as food.

Of course, large amounts of candytaken in addition to regular meals may,

I th ink many womenbearing excess weight will not go on adiet because they fear they must give upcandy. Our up-to-date dieticians sayeach good-sized piece of candy means ahundred calories. You must try to keepto one thousand calories a day, but if youwant candy, then eat low calory meals tobalance. A cup of clear soup with no fat ,a large salad of cabbage, lettuce or othergreens count almost nothing in caloricvalue, so when you go on a candy orgyjust plan the rest of the meal in this man-ner.

For people who wish to put on weight,candy is one of the best means. I wentto a French school at one time, and ourmidday lunch was a delicious, crusty rollwith a bar of chocolate to nibble with it,and we were a husky bunch of little tots.Children burn up so much energy in theirplay that they can eat quite a bit of purecandy to advantage—but always as apart of the meal. You will find that mostwomen who consider candy not good forchildren arrive at that conclusion becausethey have allowed it between meals andhave seen the children refuse their otherfood. Let them give a few pieces as a

dessert and they will see an improvementin the little ones most rapidly.

Prudence, Jr., used to get spells of in-flamed nerves, when she would break outin large white patches like hives. Aftertrying all sorts of things, I finally hit upongiving her an ice cream soda, then takingher to a picture and putt ing a box ofcandy in her lap. She is a great candylover and would eat several pieces. In-side of a couple of hours the spots wouldbe gone, taking away the nervous itching,and the child would be normal. The doc-tor, when I told him my "findings" ex-plained that she was exhausted nervouslyand physically and needed the quick fuelfood.

Candy is used in all sorts of ways in myhouse besides just being eaten "as is." Idissolve peppermint or wintergreen dropsin f ru i t cocktails, and it gives them amost delicious flavor. I stuff apples, pearsand peaches with little red cinnamoncandies and bake them. This gives alovely color and makes a mighty finesyrup for the f ru i t .

Honor Mr. StaleyOur president, A. E. Staley, Sr., came

in for a goodly share of the honors whichwere passed around at the opening day ofthe Decatur Three-I baseball season May5. Mr. Staley, really the man who madebaseball possible in Decatur, was pre-sented with a life-time pass by the Deca-tur Fans' Association.

When he entered the field on openingday he was greeted with applause andcheers which almost raised the perfectlysolid roof off the new grandstand. Fol-lowing the flag raising Judge Landis, whowas the honored guest of the day, pre-sented Mr. Staley with the pass.

This pass is a thin gold plate, suitablyengraved, and resting in a white satinlined case. Mr. Staley accepted it witha short talk, assuring the Association andPresident Jean Wylie of his pleasure andappreciation of the honor.

Mr. Staley's connection with baseballin Decatur dates back several years tothe days when the Staley team was amongthe best in this part of the country. Afterthe Staley company gave up baseball,when Decatur got into the Three-I, Mr.Staley still was the angel by providingthe baseball team with a field.

For several years the Decatur team usedStaley field, until the ground was badlyneeded for plant expansion. Even thenMr. Staley did not act the hard heartedlandlord, for when a movement wasstarted for a new field he came forwardwith a big contribution. It was altogetherfitting, then, that he should be honoredby the Association on opening day.

Insurance is PlacedThe Travelers Insurance Company, of

Hartford, Conn., will have the group in-surance for the Staley Fellowship club, itwas announced late in May. The clubmembers voted in the annual election inApril to adopt this insurance plan, andthe governors of the club, after much con-sideration, decided to place the insurancewith the Travelers.

One slight change has been made sincethe last Journal was issued. It has beendecided that no one, no matter what hisposition with the company, be allowed totake more than a $1,000 policy.

Application cards were ijiven out inMay to those who have signified a desireto take out the insurance, and the plangoes into effect June I. No physicalexamination is necessary.

Sweets in the DietBy Dr. M. W. Fitzpatrick

The question of food is never settled.Like Tennyson's brook it goes on forever.Something to eat is a perpetual and per-sistent requirement that attracts the at-tention of a man about three times everyday. Its form and amount may vary fromtime to time, depending on circumstances,but the demand is there always.

Among foodstuffs sugar has taken arole of exlrcme importance. Instead of acuriosity as it was in ancient times it hasbecome an article of common and wide-spread use forming one of the greatarticles of commerce.

The story of sugar is little short ofa romance. It antedates all written his-tory and has played a part in the vicisi-tudes of one country after another downto the present time. It has been the sub-ject of international conferences and dis-putes. War indemnities have been paidby it. It has made some nations wealthy.Others have been brought to the vergeof ruin when a rival people have in-vented a new and- better process for itsmanufacture or have manipulated thesupply by subsidies or taxes.

Sugar of earliest history was repre-sented by honey. It was used not only asfood but by apothocanes and physiciansas a vehicle in compounding medicines.For this latter purpose it was used untilvery recent years.

In early times the Mohammedans, mak-ing war expeditions into India and otherneighboring countries, found the largegrass-like plant called cane being usedby the natives for the extraction of asweet juice from the stalk. At first it wasused in the liquid form but later boileddown to a thick syrupy substance, andstill later even crystalized. The Chinesehad learned of its use and had added im-provements in the art of sugar making.

The Mohammedans carried the caneinto Arabia and from there it was takento Egypt. At one time a great portion ofthe Nile Valley was devoted to the cultureof sugar cane. The Crusaders on theirreturn from the holy lands were the firstto bring European countries a knowledgeof the nature and use of sugar, but atthat time it was little more than a curi-osity. When the Moors entered Spainthey took with them this valuableplant and from this small beginning agreat sugar industry sprang up in somedistricts. Columbus on his second voy-age to the New World planted the canein San Domingo and when he returned toSpain reported that the plant grew well

in the warm moist climate of the island.As years went on and settlements weremade in the western hemisphere its cul-ture spread through the warm countriesand even to Hawaii. It was cultivated inwhat are now the Gulf states of this coun-try. The first successful cane sugar plan-tation and refinery in this country waslocated in Louisiana on land now oc-cupied by the city of New Orleans.

In early times sugar was very crude,was very expensive, and was used mostlyby physicians in their medicines, but asthe cane was grown more and more ex-tensively and the making of sugar becamemore common, methods were developed toproduce a higher grade article. Theoriginal cane was a wild grass propogatedby seeding but as it was cultivated andthe best specimens selected it began tolose its power of reproduction by seed.It was grown from cuttings and gradualimprovement was obtained. The juicefrom the earliest cane produced not morethan 4 to 6 per cent of sugar but throughcareful culture this has been brought upto 10 to 12 per cent and in Hawaii evenmore. Left to itself this cane does notrevert to the wild state but dies out. Atthe present time it is doubtful if thereis in existence any cane in its originalnature. All cane now must be grownfrom cuttings. This would seem to be agreat burden, but not so much when itis learned that once a field is set to sugarcane the stalks reproduce without reset-ting for many years, even as many asforty in some instances.

In 1747 a German professor discoveredthat sugar could be obtained from beets,but it was not until 1801 that a factorywas established on a firm footing for themanufacture of sugar from this vegetable.As this sugar •was studied more and moreit soon becomes a rival of the product ofthe cane, and in some countries it evendemoralized the whole cane sugar indus-try. Many international conferences wereheld looking to an adjustment of theseand similar difficulties, one of these beingas late as 1903. Today about two-thirdsof the world's supply of sugar comes frombeets.

An interesting sidelight on the transi-tion of sugar is that in 1700 ten thousandtons were used annually in England. By1800 this had mounted to 150,000 tonswhile in 1885 there were 1,100,000 tonsconsumed by the Britons in their home-land. And too, there was a time whensugar sold in that country for about

$2.63; now a pound of it may be pur-chased for a few cents.

Corn sugar is now beginning tomake itself a place in the sugar fam-ily. What its fu ture will be no onecan predict but there is not at this timeany reason to doubt the possibility of itsbringing a profound change in sugar pro-cesses. It has at least one advantageover cane sugar in that it is already in aform to be absorbed from the digestivetract while cane sugar must undergo acertain process of digestion before it isready for use in the human economy.

Sugar in the diet has a most importantplace. In the ordinary process of diges-tion, it is obtained from the carbohydratesas bread, potatoes, fruits, etc., in ad-dition to the sugar we mix with manyarticles of diet.

Proteids and mineral bearing foods arerequired for body builders and theseshould enter largely into the diet of thegrowing individual, but as maturity is at-tained there is need of only enough pro-teid and mineral to replace tissue waste.Fuel for energy is best obtained fromcarbohydrates. Sufficient n o u r i s h m e n tcould be obtained from meat and waterwithout starches but this is far from beinga desirable way to obtain sustenance asidefrom the item of cost, and the questionof elusive vitamins.

The availability of sugar at a low priceprobably has a great bearing on the pres-ent day development of children. Notthat they should be given a large rationof candy to eat; that would be harmful indiminishing their appetite for other foods.But they should have a good amount ofstarches with their diet to supply by diges-tion the sugar their tissues need. Candyis not bad for them if properly used.Given with the meal it acts only as anadjunct to the meal and thus is not harm-ful, or as a luncheon between meals sothat the appetite is not lessened by it.

The growing use of corn sugar in candymaking, preserving, etc., is destined to re-move some of the undesirable elementsconnected with the use of cane sugar. Asstated before, cane sugar must be changedby digestion into invert sugar before itcan be absorbed and used for energy pro-duction, but corn sugar is already aninvert sugar and is for that reason muchmore readily used by the body. Cornsyrup is coming to be used rather extensively in infant feeding and under certainconditions very satisfactory results are ob-tained.

Travelers, explorers, soldiers, and thosewho may not have opportunities of eatingmeals regularly, find they obtain a re-markable supply of energy from eatingsugar. It has been stated that in times

past the English gave sugar to theirblooded horses to sustain them in theirraces. Rowing crews have found theyrace better and with less fatigue if theyhave had an allowance of sugar. Soldiersmarch better and do not tire so quicklywhen sugar is furnished them. It shouldbe taken well diluted; concentrated solu-tions of sugar are irritant to the stomachwhile dilute ones are not. That is one ofthe reasons a person wants a drink ofwater after eating candy.

Now it would be a mistake to gatherfrom what has been said that one mayindulge in sweets exclusively withoutdanger. The human body is very versa-tile but it has its limitations. Excesses iasugar consumption may break down sugartolerance and cause diabetes. Or if thismisfortune is avoided, an excess of sugarin the blood may be responsible for num-erous boils or other skin affections. Onlyrecently in Decatur a young man suffer-ing from one crop of boils after another,and obtaining no relief from ordinarymeasures, was completely cured when hequit eating candy.

A Little ThingHe caught his hand, a little thing.

He hardly felt the sting.He could not stop for iodine, so—

Five weeks in a sling.

He ran a splinter in his knee.Why, what is that, I beg?

He could not stop to fool with that.The Doc cut off his leg.

He got a cinder in his eye;Removed it with a knife.

He goes around half blind now,But he's glad they saved his life.

He grabbed a piece of foreign wireIn quite a careless way.

The flowers were most prettyAt his funeral, they say.

He climbed to fix a cable,On a ladder with a crack.

We're standing six feet over him,He's flat upon his back.

We're always hoping for the bestWhen we should fear the worst.

It's best to tend the little thingsWith "First Aid" and "Safety First."

Our FlagIt was just a hundred and fifty years ago that the United States of

America, then thirteen colonies scattered along the Atlantic coast, decidedthat as a new and thriving nation they should have a flag. When thecolonies declared their independence from England in 1776 there wereany number of other things which had to be thought of, and it was a yearlater, June 14, 1 /77 , when the young congress definitely decided uponan official emblem.

A famous stage sketch of a few years ago dramatized the situationof 1 7 7 7 something like this:

Continental Soldier—Gee, ain't it fierce, George? We ain't got no

flag.

George Washington—Sure is fierce—

Later—George Washington—Gee, ain't it fierce Betsy? We ain'tgot no flag.

Betsy—Sure is fierce.- I'll make one.

Whether or not that as the exact proceedure we have no way of tell-ing, although we can form opinions of our own, but history tells of definiteaction taken to have a flag designed and made. Betsy Ross, of Philadelphia, is commonly given credit for helping to design, and for making the

first flag.

In this first flag the thirteen stripes of alternate red and white repre-sented the thirteen original states, as did the circle of thirteen white starson a field of blue. Later as new states were added to the union a starwas added for each, but the number of stripes remains the same.

But if the story of the origin of the flag is vague, its subsequent historyhas been blazoned around the world. No other national banner has en-joyed the victories, the successes, or the triumphs which have followedthe Stars and Stripes. No other flag has, in a short century and a half,come from an obscure place to first rank among the nations of the world.

It is altogether fitting that one day each year should be set asideespecially in honor of this flag of ours. June 1 4 has been named as FlagDay, and each year its celebration takes on more importance.

No Accident Drive Going StrongBy F. R. Stone, Assistant Safety Director

The second month of the no accidentdrive has been completed, and recordsshow an improvement in the num-ber of accidents over the month of March,which was the first month of the drive.We had only three lost time accidentsduring the month and none of them wereof very severe nature. The minor acci-dents have been materially reduced in pro-portion.

This all goes to prove that accidentscan be prevented. With concentrated ap-plication in this work, good results inthe accident severity rate of the plant arebound to be attained. With constantthought on the subject, careful manipula-tion of the work at hand and the unmiti-gated attention of all, at all times of thehazards involved will bring about the de-sired results.

All employees are asked to take part inthe safety drive now on, in every waythey can, to help cut down the accidents.To stimulate interest in this the companyis offering as a reward for any idea orsuggestion along safety lines which canbe carried out in this plant, your choiceof Gold Cuff Links, Metal Lead Pencil ora Pen Knife. Any person who knows ofsome way in which the plant can be madesafer for the employees, is asked to writeout their suggestion and put it in theSafety Box, located at the front of theMain Time Clock House, or bring it in tothe Safety Office. If the merits of thesuggestion are such that the idea can beworked out, the donor will be notified andwill be given one of the above three prizes.There is no limit to the number of sugges-tions one applicant may submit. This of-fer is open to every one in the plant. Whowill be the first one to win a prize. Thewinner's names will be posted on the blackboard at the Store-room.

Another point which cannot be stressedtoo much is the point regarding the firstaid treatment of all accidents. A gooddeal of our severe experience in the pasthas been due to the neglect of the injuredto not get first aid treatment immediatelyafter the accident occurred. It may onlybe a scratch, or bruise or it may be justa foreign body in the eye, but whateverthe case, it requires immediate attention.Many an eye has been lost by some work-man removing a particle from another'seye and many a case of infection hasbeen caused by some man treating hisown injury with home applications, usu-ally with iodine, which is extremely dan-gerous if not understood how to be used.

On the other hand many injuries are nottreated at all. The injured thinks he willnot have any trouble and just lets it go.This is usually when he is most sorrow-ful ly mistaken. Blood poison sets in andc,uite often the member must be ampu-tated and the man made a cripple for life.A man must be an irresponsible fellowwho will let even the smallest of injuriesgo without attention, by the nurse. Notin two or three days, when infection lookslike it may set in but at once.

Watch the bulletins posted semi-month-ly throughout the plant. Many helpfulsuggestions may be learned from studyingthem. The bulletins have been made upby the country's most expert safety menand whenever one of the bulletins portrayshow an accident could happen and the re-sult, you may rest assured that that samething has already happened in some plant.We should make sure that the same ac-cident does not happen in our plant. Weprofit by other's experiences.

Caution is the keynote of the wholething. It is one of the most priceless, aswell as the rarest, of human traits. Withat least a degree of it, men work in com-parative safety; without it, lives, property,and progress are always in jeopardy.

To Take A CarTo take a car, with right hand claspThe bar, and hold with firmest grasp,Then step up with the left foot first,And you are braced to meet the worst,For, if the car should move at all,Your right foot saves you from a fall.

But when you wish to leave the carBe sure the left hand grips the bar;Set first the right foot on the groundAnd facing front you will be found;And, though the car may start or stay,You can with safety wend your way.

Five Little Words

There are five little words, I'd have youknow,

They are "Pardon me," "Thank you,"and "Please."

Oh, use them quite often wherever you go,There are few words more useful than

these.

These five little words are filled with apower

That money or fame cannot give;So commit them to memory, this very

hour,And use them as long as you live.

The Corn BorerBy E. P. Imbodon, Educational Director

That the business men of our city arevitally interested in the problem ofhandling the corn borer situation, wasevident when upon the return of BriceMartin of the Decatur Herald from a con-ference at Detroit, the Association ofCommerce and the Macon County FarmBureau arranged for a mass meeting lastOctober where the city man and farmergot the "close up" on the menace of theborer and methods of control.

In Decatur on March 24, 1927 at theHotel Orlando under the auspices of theKiwanis Club of Decatur, a group of 200Kiwanians and farmers were privilegedto hear Prof. W. P. Flint, head Ento-mologist of the University of Illinois, speakon that all absorbing subject "The Euro-pean Corn Borer". We present here abrief digest of that address.

The European corn borer is known inEurope under a great variety of names.The most common are hop borer, milletborer and hemp borer. It is very wellestablished that this parasite was intro-duced into the United States in foreignbroom corn shipped to factories at Everet,Mass., Schenectady, N Y. and St. ThomasCounty, Ontario. In 1922 all corn aroundBoston was infested. At present this par-ticular infestation is only one-tenth as badas in 1922. The borer is a pest to marketgardeners and truckers, since it works onbeets, celery and other leafy vegetables.There are four stages in the l ife cycle:The egg, the worm, the brown stage, andthe moth. All in jury occurs in the brownstage. The moth lays eggs under leaves.To date two hundred and twenty-five plantfeeding places have been found in Europeand forty-six plant feeding places in NewYork. Apparently climate does not affectthe borer for it is found in Europe northof Moscow and down the valley of the Nileto the Equator. The chinch bug is wellknown as a dry "animal" flourishing bestin hot dry weather. The corn borer isessentially a wet "animal". They havebeen soaked in water for many days, butstill survive. In some places lights havebeen used experimentally, but somehowthe moths fail to be attracted.

So serious is the situation in Essex andKent Counties, Ontario that there hasbeen a ninety percent reduction in cornacreage. Corn canning factories havesuspended operation and Prof. Flint says,"I would not grow corn in Ontario at pres-ent." The territory of infestation hasbeen spreading with alarming speed, and

each year sees vast acreage added tothe corn borer's domain.

There are two effective methods oferadication. One method is to burn all thecorn stalks and refuse. The other methodis to plow all stalks under deep. Whencorn stalks are completely plowed underwith no stalks appearing above the plowedground 95'/r to 98'r of the corn borerscan be killed.

The $10,000,000 appropriated by theFederal Government in waging this fightis to be used largely for payment to farm-ers for extra labor in cleaning up land.The farmer may collect not to exceed$2.00 per acre for cleaning up dent cornland and $1.00 per acre for cleaning upsweet corn acreage. Big orders have beenplaced with implement manufacturers fortractors, plows and equipment for doingthis necessary plowing, when local effortsfail.

Although realizing the gravity of thesituation Prof. Flint emphatically stated inclosing "We can profitably produce corneven with a corn borer infestation."

Theboys of the high school were asked tomake a choice of the Decatur industrywhich they would rather visit during theweek and more than 200 named the Staleyplant. Of this number more than 100came with the May 4 party.

The boys were met at the plant by E. P.Imboden and Mr. Imboden and four menfrom the laboratory acted as their guidesabout the plant.

As to this weding feast—the hour ofthe ceremony governs the size of it. Ifyou have a wedding, then, without servingan elaborate meal select an odd hour forthe ceremony like 3 o'clock in the af ter -noon. When the ceremony takes placeduring the morning, up to noon, a wed-ding breakfast can be served which canbe simple or elaborate, according to thenumber of guests and the financial statusof the family.

If the ceremony comes later in the day,say between 4 and 6 in the afternoon, arather more complicated dinner is served.Evening weddings are followed by a sup-per and here the choice is widest. At anearly afternoon wedding only light re-freshments are served.

As in other entertaining, a good ruleto follow at a wedding is to keep foodand service simple, but carefully plannedand prepared and daintily served If onewishes to go in for expensive dishes andcomplicated' service the best thing to do isto turn the whole affair over to a profes-sional caterer. Then it will be done cor-rectly.

*AFTER SCHOOL LUNCH

The after-school lunch is equally asimportant as the school lunch, statesGrace Ryan in a recent issue of Hygeia.Promiscuous and heavy eating after schoolis not desirable. The underweight childwho needs extra nourishment or the childwhose home supper is served late may begiven a light lunch after school.

A glass of milk, a cup of hot cocoa,a bread and butter sandwich or a bowlof bread and milk, a bowl of soup or adish of stewed frui t only slightly sweet-ened may be given for this lunch. Cook-ies, cake and pie should never be eatenat this time.

The food should be simple and easilydigested and should be eaten immediatelyafter school and not just before supper.Otherwise it will blunt the appetite forthe next meal and overwork the child'sstomach.

THE STALEY JOURNAL

In May we at the plant had the pleasure ofmeeting the manager of the Staley company'sBrit ish interest, Mr. H. Lionel Tydeman.

London Manager HereEarly in May, H. Lionel Tydeman, man-

aging director of the A. E. StaleyMfg. Co. (London) Ltd., visited theplant in Decatur. This was Mr. Tyde-man's first visit to Decatur in seven yearsand he said that he found the changes somany that he almost doubted that he wasin the right place.

When he returned to London he prob-ably had much the same sensation, forwhile he was in America the London officemoved into new quarters. After manyyears the old rooms in Botolph Housewas given up and the company has takenmuch larger and more comfortable roomsin Adelaide House. Adelaide Hou.*e, Mr.Tydeman tells us with pardonable pride,is one of the most modern office build-ings in London and he feels fo r tuna te inobtaining rooms there.

While he was in Decatur Mr. Tydemanwas kept extremely busy. His stay wasshort and he had much business to trans-act. In addition to that his many fr iendsmade dur ing previous visits or throughcorrespondence, made many demandsupon his time. Mr. Tydeman is. athoroughly enjoyable man and Staleypeople who were for tunate enough to haveconversations with him, are hoping thathis visits w i l l , at least, be annual af fa i rs .

Named Railroad DirectorAt a meeting of the Board of Directors

of the Wabash railroad, April 28, A. E.Staley, Sr., was elected to membership onthat board. Earlier in the month Mr.Staley had been asked by William H. Wil-liams, chairman of the board, to accepta directorship, but at first he was unde-cided whether or not he could accept.Later he decided that it would be possiblefor him to do so.

Although other offers have been madeMr. Staley to accept membership on sim-ilar boards, this is the first time he hasfelt it advisable to accept.

Other members of the Wabash Board ofDirectors are William H. Williams, NewYork; Henry R. Winthrop, New York;Robert Goelet, Chester, N. Y.; J. HoraceHarding, New York; Alvin W. Krech,New York; Winslow S. Pierce, New York;John N. Willys, Toledo, Ohio; J. LeonardReplogle, New York; William A. Jamison,New York; George W. Davidson, NewYork; T. E. Wilson, Chicago; J. C. Otte-son, New York; J. E. Taussig, St. Louis:C. G. Edger, Detroit; S. Hoge, Jr., NewYork. _

Some of his friends say that they noticea great similiarity between R. C. Schererand Henry Schultz. For instance, everytime Henry is out with a girl he declaresit is one of his sisters. Recently everytime Buck has been out with a girl he hasexplained it the same way. Only whenhe introduced one of his "sisters" hername was not Scherer. Maybe it will besome day, though.

A certain train on the Southern rail-road had been late every day for years,but one day it gasped into the depot exact-ly on the dot. The marveling passengersgot together and made up a handsomepurse for the engineer and presented it tohim with an eloquent speech, commendinghim for being at last on time.

"The engineer refused the purse sadly,eaying: "Gentlemen, it breaks my heart todo this, for I sho, do need the money. Butthis heah is yesterday's train."

Mr. Durkee's car managed to make thetrip back to Illinois f rom Baltimore butone trip out to the Staley plant f rom thecenter of Decatur was all it could stand.At the end of the first day it was unableto return to home base.

No, this is not the graduating class of a girls' school. It is just W. H. Barnes, of our graindepartment, and SOME of his daughters. The girls shown here with their fa ther are Mariana,Ruth, Sue and Margaret. Margaret is the home-maker for the family. Sue is a student in Mil l i -kin universi ty, Ruth is in high school and Mariana is in junior high. There is s t i l l another sister,who is married. Naturally, Mr. Barnes is proud of this line-up.

Letter of InterestRecently The Journal received a letter

of considerable interest f rom Mrs. RoddySwaim, of Liberty, N. C., and it is bein^reprinted here:"Dear Editor:

THE STSLEY JOURNAL

May we present Mr. and Mrs. Harry Walmsley? We suggested to the artist that this wasa bridal couple and he immediately was overcome with a desire to bring in Cupid and thewedding bells. Alice and Harry (that's all we ever will call them) were married in May.you know, and everyone is over-joyed to hear that Alice is not going to let matrimony takeher away from the general superintendent's office where she has been for several years.

WHITE-WALMSLEYThe marriage of Alice Virginia White

and W. Harry Walsley, both prominentStaley people, took place Saturday morn-ing, May 14, in Sacred Heart Catholicchurch, in Illiopolis, 111. Rev. FatherKlasner, of St. James church, of Decatur,performed the ceremony.

The bride wore a frock of monkey skincrepe romaine, with hat and shoes tomatch. Her only attendant was her sis-ter, Mrs. J. G. Moore, of Springfield.Mr. Walmsley's brother, Carl Walmsley,was his best man. Following the cere-mony the party returned to Decatur wherea wedding breakfast was served in thehome of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.David White, 833 East Decatur street.

Plans for the wedding underwent a lastminute change when the death of the Ma-con County Clerk made it impossible toobtain a marriage license in this countyFriday. The bridegroom went over intothe neighboring county, Sangamon, forthe license, and Illiopolis, as the nearesttown "across the border" was selected asthe place for the ceremony.

Both Alice and Harry are well knownand extremely popular among Staley peo-ple, for both have been with the companyfor several years. At present Harry issuperintendent of the sugar and syrup de-partment, No. I 7 building. A number ofyears ago he was private secretary to thelate G. E. Chamberlain, and later waspurchasing agent for the company. Dur-ing the war he left the company to enterthe army, and served overseas for manymonths.

His bride came to the Staley companyimmediately upon finishing school, work-ing first in the general office. After ashort time she went to the manufacturingdepartment as Mr. Chamberlain's secre-tary and held that position unti l his death.Since Mr. Chamberlain's death she hasbeen secretary to his successor, A. E. Sta-ley, Jr.

Although everyone has been expectingthis wedding for some time, neither Alicenor Harry would tell just when the eventwas to take place.

The couple left af ter the ceremony fora week's motor trip. Upon their returnthey went to housekeeping in their newhome in Riverview avenue. This house,which they have just built, is an attrac-tive brick cottage on a hill overlookingthe river.

Alice is not giving up her position withthe Staley company, greatly to the joy ofthe many persons who have businnessdealings with her daily.

ENTERTAIN BOWLERSMembers of the Staley bowling team

were entertained at dinner one night earlyin May by Mrs. Chester May. Mrs. May'shusband, better known as Baldy, is a mem-ber of the team and evidently mentionedto his wife a number of things which histeam mates like to eat. At any rate itwas a perfect meal f rom fried chicken onup, and the men enjoyed it and the eve-ning thoroughly.

Ray Bass says it was simply heart-breaking to witness the affair . It allcame about because Rosey was smokinga cigar. He came in for his daily chatwith Esther and laid his cigar down onher desk. Then he got so interested in—well in something—that he put his handdown—and it landed on the working endof the cigar. What he said was the thingthat caused all the trouble. It certainlywas heart-breaking—as Ray said.

Cap Whitten says he would rather be aDemocrat and work at Sta ley's than aRepublican and the holder of any otheroffice.

PARTY FOR BRIDEViola Goodman, of the purchasing of-

The supper table was beat iful ly decor-ated in pink and white with a large pinkpaper bud in the center of the table. Rib-bons leading to this bud concealed coup-lets which gave the clues to where thegifts were hidden.

Later in the evening Vivian Pierce andClaire McLean led the guests in a musicalgame of "Follow the Leader" and tinyhearts which Claire scattered during thegame carried the announcement.

Staley's will have a baseball team againthis year, to play in the Decatur Com-mercial League. Otto Pahlman was madetemporary manager and early in theseason was lining up games.

The running expenses of love comehigh, Harvey Smith says. Especially ifyou live in Decatur and your lady lovelives say—down in Patoka, and you callher up on the long distance phone quiteoften.

Marion Lawrence, otherwise Bumbum,of the laboratory, carries fire and THEFTinsurance on his mother's house, but af terthe tornado he realized that storm insur-ance was missing. Of course, thoughone's house is more often stolen thandamaged by a storm.

Mrs. Hall said she really didn't havemuch time to notice the big storm, CarlRussell was up in the restaurant eatingFrench fried potatoes and talking to her,so what was a storm, more or less?

Vivian Pierce says she simply can't un-derstand why every time a stray dogcomes near the purchasing office, thewhole gang yells: "Miss Pierce, is thatone of your dogs?"

He is our civilengineer, and is generally to be found outlooking over railroad tracks for something elsewhich requires his civil judgment.

VIADUCT STARTEDWork was started Monday morning,

May 16 on the Seventh street viaduct.This big construction job has been hang-ing fire for some time but the contractwas let in April and the Jones Construc-tion Co., low bidders, started work ascoon as possible. The viaduct, whichstarts north on Seventh street at Eldorado,runs directly along the east wall of theStaley office buildings which all face onEldorado.

The viaduct is being erected over themain Wabash switch tracks and the switchtracks of the Staley company, all of whichcross Seventh. That street, a main out-let for a big new residence district in thenortheast corner of the city, will be an im-por tan t thoroughfa re when the viaduct isfinished.

JOHN ENCLEHART

VISIT LEGISLATUREE. P. Imboden, educational director,

represented the Staley company at the bi-ennial meeting of the Illinois Chamber ofCommerce in Springfield late in April.Mr. Imboden went over with the Decaturdelegation. During the day the men at-tended the sessions of the legislature andat noon and in the evening they wereentertained at banquets. Speakers at thesebanquets were state representatives andsenators.

Nubbins Harless has bought himself anew Ford, but he says life is still lonelyfor none of the girls have volunteered tofill the vacant space beside him.

A spectator at the south gate says thathe can tell by the way a man parks whatis the matter with his eyes. The farsighted fellow stops too soon, the nearsighted one does not stop soon enoughand the cross-eyed fellow wants to parkcrosswise, while the selfish chap parksabout four feet away from his neighbor.

Joe Dailey, of the elevator force sayshe knows he has been called a grouchand he admits that he is one but he hasbeen pestered. That's why his disposi-tion is soured. He says that when hewas a little boy the girls all thought hewas sweet.

Everyone Knows HimIt was just eleven years ago this June

that the Staley company, just beginningto build up its own railroad, acquired anew section foreman. And that man hasbeen here ever since. He is John Engle-hart , slight and stooped, but spry andactive.

John gained his track building knowl-edge from the Wabash railroad, withwhich company he worked for a numberof years. In fact he came to the Staleycompany from the Wabash.

More than fourscore years ago JohnEnglehart was born in Shildeck, Ost, Prus-sia, a province of Germany, but like manyother boys of his country and time, hecame to America early in life. Much ofhis time in this country has been passedin Decatur.

In the last few years John has not en-joyed the most perfect health, especiallyduring the winter months. But evenwhen it is necessary for him to be awayfrom work for a while he keeps up a keeninterest in the plant, and is always backon the job just as soon as his health willpermit.

He is as true to his church as he is tohis work. For many years he has beena member of St. Johannes Lutheran con-gregation, and only a serious thing cankeep him away from services.

Cap Whitten, whose headquarters arein the tool house, was standing aboutthree feet from the door one day recently,with his umbrella in his hand. "Whythe umbrella, Cap?" asked a passer-by."It's not raining."

"No, it isn't raining now but it is cloudyand if it does start to rain I don't wantto have to hurry to get to shelter."

Al Crabb, of the traffic office, took hisvacation in May and spent most of it outon the farm.

"The old couple are about to be putout of their home because they cannot paythe mortgage. Their daughter arrives,asks the amount of the mortgage and istold six hundred pounds. With not adoshe reaches into her stocking, pulls outthe needed amount and hands it to herfather.

'That's a lot of money, Susie," says he.'Where did you get i t? '

The Golden RuleIn all ages men have sought and found

the Pearl of Great Price, the truth bywhich men live, and the Supreme Teachershave proclaimed it in simple words.

Mirza Ahmad Sohrab, a Persian teach-er, has prepared a summary of this GoldenRule as expressed in the world religions:

Christ: "Whatsoever ye would thatmen should do to you, do ye even so tothem.'*

Hindu: "The true rule is to do by thethings of others as you do by your own."

Buddha: "One should seek for othersthe happiness one desires for one's self."

Parsee: "Do as you would be doneby."

Confucius: "What you would not wishdone to yourself do not to others."

Mahomet: "Let none of you treat abrother in a way he himself would disliketo be treated "

Jewish: "Whatever you do not wishyour neighbor to do to you do not untohim." The Bookan Wrap.

Timely TogsA husband found some holes in his silk

stocking and said, "Wine, dear, whyhaven't you mended these?"

"Hubby, darling, did you buy me thatopera cloak you promised?"

"N-no.""Well, if you don't give a wrap, I don't

give a darn."

At the grave of the departed the olddark pastor stood, hat in hand.

"Samuel Johnson," he said, "you isgone. And we hopes you is gone wherewe 'specks you ain't."

license. A few days later he asked theclerk to substitute another woman's namefor the one on the license, as he hadchanged his mind. He was told it wouldcost him another dollar and a half.

"You mean I got to get a new license?""Yes," said the clerk.The applicant replied "with an air of

determination "Never mind, boss, thisol* one will do. Dar ain't no dollah an'a half difference 'tween dem two, nohow."
