CHILDREN AND CANDY.
London Physician Blames Sweets for
Young Folks Deterioration.

From the St James Gazette.
In the course of a lecture delivered in
London recently. Prof. Ogston said that
after many years of medical experience
among children he was convinced there
were many in whom the tendency to sugar.
gluttony had become so strong in their
infatuation for 1t resembled the craving of
a drunkard for liquor. Such saccharoma-
MACS showed early disappearance of the
teeth. and other grave troubles. He
thought future scientists would place the
evils of sugar-gluttony a pedestal
conspicuous as the drink question: az Gauss
ing deterioration of individuals and races.
The views expressed by the eminent spe-
cialist. however sensational they may APP
par. are amply borne ont by facts. and
medical opinion generally holds that the
serious deterioration of children Is directly
attributable to the great consumption of
sweets, and to the ingredients of which the
bulk of these are compounded. 4 we'll
known doctor said that pure sweets in
themselves. and taken moderately, would
not be seriously harmful. But confection-
cry was made so cheap nowadays that the
poorest ingredients and many dangerous
chemicals had to be used.
One of the largest confectiuners in Lon
don revealed the methods employed in the
scrupulous firms In the East End of Lon
don, who do huge business in these goods
at four ounces penny.
There is a lot of adulteration In the
sweet trade unfortunately, and, strangely,
II has never received proper attention. CO.
clinical is used on a very large scale to
color toffees and in the making of several
varieties of drops. Tons of the fruit sweets
are quite innocent of fruit and are colored
by chemicals. Chocolates are another line
which lends easily to adulteration and
some vile substitutes for the pure cocoa
butte are in the market
Then these firms use cheap glucose.
which, as has been found over and over
again, contains arsenic or some other poi
sonous matter. ana since brewers have
fought shy of the material-that is since
the beer scare-huge quantities of inferior
glucose have found their way to these
back-stairs confectioners. Some of these
people. too, make their toffees and sticjaw
from treacle of the most injurious kind,
and much of the butter toffees and butter
scotch sold AT abominably low prices con-
tain more bad fat grease than butter"
is there no way of preventing the sale
of such sweets?'
81 should think there was, but nothing
is done No wonder Prof Ogston spoke SO
strongly: it is a terrible evil. The children,
of course. buy where they can get the most
for their money and get these goods, every
line of which, it is not saying too much, Is
poisonous dangerous and Injurious 20
health. Not only the question of ingre-
dents, but the condition under which these
sweets are made ought to be closely in
quired into. There Is a factory act but
how many of the cheap sweet manufacture
ers come under it?''

DOGS CURFEw IN ENGLAND.
New Government Bill Abolishes First
Bite" Doctrine.

Bite'' Doctrine.
FIR I'm the London Chronicle.
Dogs in Great Britain, if they only knew
it, have much reason to fear a bill intro
duced In parliament by Mr.. Felowes. a
lord of the treasury; Mr. Walter Long,
president of the local government board,
and the solicitor general.
The dogs bill is apparently designed to
lessen the damage done by dogs In the
worrying of cattle. and this it proposes to
do by nstituting kind of curfew for dogs,
and by robbing them of the timehonored
privilege of first bite
Hitherto, in order to be succ essful imam
action for damage done by a dog it has
been necessary to prove a previous mis-
chievous propensity in the animal The
the owner of a dog shall be liable In
damages for injury done to any cattle by
that dog; and 1t shall not be necessary to
show a previous miSchievouS propensity
in the dog, or the owners knowledge of
such propensity, or to show that the injury
was attributable to neglect on the part of
the owner"
cattle may be dealt with as dangerous
dog under section two of the act of ISL
The curfew regulation empowers the
board of agriculture to make orders '.for
preventing dogs from straying during all
or any Of The hours between sunset and
sunrise
Stray dogs may be impounded, at the ex-
within five clear days, may be DESTROYED
