war occasioned the renewal In large parr, of the tool equipment cf the f'reiicl ifactoriw?. Much. ot this equipment was obselete, and Its replacement with more modern machine tools marked a permanent gala. New coal fields helped to replace the output of mines that had been reared. The iron deposits of Normaniy gave riser to an important tmelting Industry in that region. One of the most significant of all the industrial developments during the ar was the expansion of hydroelectric installations. Of the estlmatcd 6.000.000 horse-power available In the country, only about 650,000 horsepower had been brought into use la 1913. At the end of 1917 there had been added sdme 374,000 horse-powAr. or more: than half as much as all tha developed waterpower in 113. Throughout the period of German control, agriculture and manufacturing In Alsace-Lorraine already important, continued to develop. The recovery of the provinces Is especially Important for France, however, because of their mineral resources. The iron deposits la . Lor

raine, it Is estimated, amount to 1.800,000,000 tons. The coal production in the Saar Basin before the war amounted to about 16,500.000 tons annually. The potash deposits of Alsace also are Important. The outp t in 1913 was 350.000 tons., although tbs Germans had never found it necessary to work thesa deposits Intensively under a policy of artificially restricted production. In the coming years unusual emphasis will be placed upon th? enlargement of agricultural production In France. And every domestic source of fertilizer will facilitate the expansion of agriculture. Alsace-Lorraine was the chief seat of the German cotton manufacturing industry and was also an important center of tha woolen industryThe" losses suffered by the French merchant marine during the war have been more than offset by new construction and purchase?. , One of the most striking developments is found in the rapidity wib which the means of communication, destroyed or impaired during tha war, have beer, restored.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Dec. 23. I. L. Miller, acting sta'e food and drug commissioner, has received a number of Mmples of dirty sugar, which, it is reported to the division, is becoming a common article in Iloosler markets. Mr. Miller pointed out that persona who pay present-day fancy prices for sugar are entitled to clean, pure sugar and that they are benig imposed on when they must pay for a quantity of dirt at sugar prices. Th state chemists believe the sugar has been only partly refined. Examination of it under a glass shows nearly all tho sugar crystals covered with a black emt much like snow crystals when covered with soot. Hecause the sugar complained of comes into Indiana from other suites Mr. Millfr has submitted the situation to I,eo H.

A movement is on foot foiterei by officers, of the Indiana Fedaration of Farmers" Associations, which.

At an executive board meeting or tha Federation, President John G Brown outlined a plan for establlahir 3a central clearing house for live stocA producers whereby a system of elim inating the use of stock yards and encouraging direct shipments from far:? to the packing and slaughter house, would be followed. He expressed th opinion that the federation Could establish a live stock department which would keep in touch with the various county representatives and that us--lfsi freight, commission and j-ardago charges, which come off the produce'., could be greatly reduced. "We find that meny times a produ er will ship his cattle or hogs to tiistock yards and that the very tarn -. stock Is re-shipped over the same rail, road line back past its original atari -ing point to one of the packers," sa c. Mr. Drown.
