Want Aluminium in Pennies.

The wholesale confectioners of the
country, or at least large part of them,
held Il convention in Buffalo recently.
One of their acts, or perhaps it was a
resolution, calls upon the Government to
abandon the use of copper in the manu-
facture of cents and substitute therefore
aluminium. The reason. given is that
when children are given pennies with
which to buy candy they put them in
their mouth and are poisoned thereby.
The poison is then attributed to the can
dies and the confectioner is blamed IN
justly with selling impure goods.
