FIFTY TONS OF CANDY
HAVE BEEN SENT TO OUR SOLDIERS IN
THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS BY
THE GOVERNNEI\T

Fifty tons Of candy have been sent to the SOL
diers In the Philippine Islands by the commissary
department Of the army during the last three
months, and large amounts to the soldiers in Cuba
and Puerto Rico.
This is done upon advice of the medical officers
Of the army because 1t is a physiological fact that
a moderate consumption Of confectionery promotes
health and satisfies natural craving Of the stom-
ach.
Candy was never furnished to the United States
army before, although 1t has been commonly used
as a ration by the French and British troops in
the tropics.
This explodes another old fashioned theory that
sweets were injurious to the digestive organs,
while q moderate use Of sweets is actually bene-
doial.
Very few things Injurious and the food
cranks who advocate the use of few grains and
vegetables and decry the use of sweets and meats
are in error. wholesome variety Of meat and
vegetable food il absolutely necessary for the main
teLance Of the highest condition Of health.
The best rule to follow Is to eat what the appe-
tite Graves and If there is any discomfort or tror.
BILE in digesting meat and sweets, the difficulty can
be readily overcome by the regular after meals
of safe digestive composed Of peps!n and
disstase which will assist the stomach by increas.
ing the flow. Of gastric juice and furnish the nat
ural peptone lacking In weak stomachs.
The best preparation of this kind Is probably
Strart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which may be found
at all drug stores
Years of use have demonstrated the value and
effectiveness Of stnart's Dyspepsia Tablets In al
eaess e impaired digestion. da2A.26,2S-St

Business Depression in Germany.

A pronounced depression in German busi-
ness enterprises generally has been reported
to the State Department by United States
Consul Albert at Brunswick. In building,
in railroad projects, In the construction OF
electrical and street railroads and in pro-
jected electrical pants for lighting, there
shas been very material decrease as COM
pared with last year, of from 80 to 60 per
cent. The number Of projected gas works
is almost third less, and IN mining and
smelling. metal manufacture, breweries and
water works there has been a considerable
falling off. The consul characterizes the
depression as the natural reaction after 81
much prosperity in 1899, and says that
Germany was never SO fiourishing as dur
ing last year.

PAY BY THE DAY.
Why Employees of Gambling Houses
DO Not Accumulate Money.

DO Not ACcumu i0te Money.
From the New Orleans TimesDemocrat.
"Why is it. ! wonder, said a member
Of little group in a cafe last evening,
that poolrooms and bookmakers always
pay their employees by the day instead of
by the week?' It's a universal custom"
replied a turfman at the other side of the
table, land applies to all kinds of gam
bling. Every night a properly conducted
house winds up it's accounts exactly as if
it was going out of business. 1t settles all
| it's bills pays off it's help, adjusts any dis
putes-in short, it closes the ledger. If the
proprietor was found dead in his bed there
would be trouble in setting his estate"
But that isn't the reason of it, persisted
the questioner. "Well, no. said the turf
man; 1.-The general reason for winding up
business every night is the uncertainty Of
any form of gambling-be it pool selling
or dealing the bank The strongest es-
tablishment might be wiped out before dark
by some phenomenal run of luck, so, natur-
ally, it is a one-day business, closing every
night and starting all over again every
morning. But the particular reason for
paying off employees by the day is that a
large percentage of their wages are invari-
ably played back against the game The
proprietor of one place told me lately that
he got back at least half. You see the help
receive extraordinarily large wages, consd-
ering the work they do, and it's case OF
come easy, go easy. Take, for instance the
men who were working here last season
for the bookmakers and getting their $40
day regularly. You may be surprised to
know that there were mighty few of them
who had enough money to get out of town
at the end Of the meet. They all intended
to lay by little for that purpose, but the
temptation to pick winners was too strong,
and they kept putting 1t off from day to
day until the closing found them broke.
Most of them borrowed railroad fare. Since
then they have been working all summer In
the north, yet 1 willing to bet they are
in exactly the same condition today that
they were In last spring. They will have
to borrow fare to get back. to New
Orleans. The average man thinks $40
day is an enormous salary for bookmakers'
clerks, and he wonders why they don't get
rich. It's all on account of the daily pay
roll. If they were paid once week the
chances are they would hang on to some
of the money, bank it or 6ive 1t to their
wives. Then wages would have to be cut
at least 50 cent,
