The Way Co Tat Candy.

I think much of the outcry against candy is the result of wrong methods of use. Ii can often be safely taken at meal time with good results. Scientists say that the food value of sugar is very great. A pound of sugar contains much more energy and power to support ami nal life than pound of meat. If candy is taken under such conditions that it will not dorange the digestive apparatus. it is perfectly wise and rational to be a candy eater. Annals of Hygiene.

M,.. nar,on Make. a statement.

PHrLADELPHIA, Jan. 1b.--Thc Press this morning prints letter from Clara Barton on the Armennia question. She states that the first appeal for the Red Cross so- oiety to act came from tho missionary boards of Connstantinople. To this con ditions were made that the request come from the people of the entire country and that sufficient money should be realized. The first was complied with and the ns- tional committee guaranteed sufficient funds. The international committee of Geneva, official heads of all the Red Cross treaty nations having no objection, prcpar- ations for sailing were made. The Amor lean Red Cross society had no part In rais- Ing the money, it's only mission being to distribute. Then came the objection from the Turkish government. Miss Barton de- clares that that government Is not antag- onistio to the Red Cross as such, but ol,- lects to the distribution of foreign relief on entirely different grounds, neitbcr in It's power nor hhat of the society to control. She adds that'hny statement that the Red Cross is aggressive md intends to act in spite of the prohibition is entirely incor- rect and unfounded.
