Houston Goudiss Discusses Sugar, Sirup and Molasses; Describes Correct.Use of Sweets, Peerless Body Fuel By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS is an old saying that good things come in small THERE That is particularly apt when we pause to consider the nutritive value of sugar in its various forms. For two scant tablespoons of sugar supply as much caloric value as does three-fourtcup of cooked farina, or one d and eggs, or the lean meat of one lamb chop.

It is, however, desirable to restrict the amount of sugar given to children. That is because it quickly satisfies the appetite and may therefore decrease the consumption of other good and necessary foods, particularly those con taining an abundance of minerals and vitamins. Children therefore can best take sweets in the form of sweetened puddings, gelatin, cooked and fresh fruits, and fruit juice and milk beverages.

And no wonder! For sugar is transformed into heat and power in less time and with less effort than any other foodstuff.

It reaches the. blood and muscles in a few minutes as rapidly in fact as alcohol! That is why concentrated sweets, which are largely sugar, are so effective in combating fatigue. Athletic coaches are well aware of the unique power of sugar as a stimulant and restorative of energy. That is why school and college youths are so frequently given highly sweetened beverages and other concentrated sweets before engaging in athletic competition. Military leaders also appreciate how it increases endurance, and sweets are an important part of the soldier's ration. During the World war civilians were urged to reduce their consumption of sugar in order to make larger amounts available for the army, and most people found it difficult indeed to forego this agreeable granulated sugar with which we are most familiar, or the brown sugar which is quite similar ia composition, except for a larger moisture content, despite popular notions to the contrary. Most fruits contain easily digestible sugars, the percentage in dried fruits ranging from 50 to 75 per cent. Milk sugar is also easily digested. Honey, molasses, corn sirup and the popular blended sirups are usually eaten in combination with other foods and are therefore unlikely to be consumed in too large amounts. Corn sirup is often added to milk, fruits, vegetables, cereals, breads and desserts. It helps to make these foods more palatable and adds 60 calories with every tablespoon. It is so easily digested that it is often used in infant feeding. Molasses provides significant amounts of both calcium and iron and is a good sweet for growing children. One and table spoons of molasses supplies as f much calcium as one and cups of diced carrots. It is a wise mother, therefore, who uses it in making the cookies that children like so well. The mixed or blended sirups that are so popular with griddle cakes and french toast on cool fall days, also add palate appeal and energy values to the diet. For in whatever form sugar is consumed, it remains nature's heat shortcut to and quick, healthful stimulation. one-ha- lf one-hal- press-the-butt- C.

We are extremely fortunate, most people will agree, to live in an age when sugar is so high in quality and so reasonable in price. In the Thirteenth century when sugar was introduced to England through India, it cost the equivalent of ten dollars a pound in the monetary terms of today. Refined sugar is now priced at a few cents a pound and one pound supplies over 1,800 calories!
