Eats Candy for a
Sl2 a Week Salary

OF all demonstrators now advertising
their ware to a gaping public the man
who eats candy for a living IS probably
most deserving OF sympathy.
He stands in the window OF a Broad
way confectionery store and nibbles at
peppermint waters and chocolate creams
for a salary OF S12 week. Always he
Is watched by an admiring, hungry
throng, many Of whom are induced by
his apparent relish Of the sweets to in
vest in - package of the saccharine
goods before passing on.
One man who came out Of the store
yesterday with five-pound box of
mixed candies stopped on the pavement
to express his opinion Of the professional
candy eater
by George he said. II wouldn't
have his JOB for $12 a day, let alone So
a week. I don't see how on earth he
stands IT. For one solid month now he
has been goAbling sweetmeats from 9 in
the morning till at night
When he began I gave him just a week
to stick to his job. II he tried to hang
on longer than that I expected him to
pay the penalty with his life. or at the
very least a ruined digestion. But II
seems l did not know my man. He Is

apparently as fond Of candy es ever he

how long he thought he would be able

tired of 1t. 1 always did Ike candy"
Maybe he did. and maybe he has not
overestimated his digestive powers. but
In my opinion the man who tackles the

STRIKE-BREAKER FARLEY

1.-THE railroad union was 20 have a
meeting on certain night, and at that
meeting the final vote as TO strike or no
strike was TO be taken. We had ar
ranged to have the steamer with our
force on board stand of and IN within
signaling distance from the shore Il!
q strike was voted We were TO be called
IN. Then the men, who were all well
armed, were TO land and take possession
OF the railroad plant, and would have
proceeded TO operate the road. In such
cases I always take full charge OF the
actual traffic movement and traffic
equipment the hiring and discharging
OF men. and all that
But In San Francisco II was very
much ia the end as il was out in Newark
at the time Of the threatened strike on
the Public Service Corporation lines.
As soon as the men, many OF whom did
not want 10 strike anyway. saw that we
were prepared for them and that the
cars would be run whether they were on
the platforms or not. those who were
engineering the disturbance lost con-
troll, and the men voted down the strike
by large majority
Breaking a Strike
THAT IS always the great point
make the malcontents know that cars
are going 10 be run. and that anybody
who gets in the way is going 10 be
hurt That's all there is in breaking a
street car strike. Sometimes the strik-
ers are slow in gTasping the fact that
you mean Just what you say about this.
II is while they are getting this point
through their heads that the trouble
occurs ana 20 many people are hurt.

A Metal Bottle.
Again, we find the japanese soldier
furnished with a metal bottle. in place
Of a water Canteen. which permits him
20 boil his water easily. That he always
does this is hardly probable. but. in view
OF the fact that the japanese prefer hot
water 10 cold-when they are in camp
or stop by the wayside for a long wait,
they will always be found slipping not
water from their aluminium drinking
cups-it may be safely said that they
run much less risk Of contracting dis
ease from the water they drink than
the average army.
OF course, what they like more than
anything else as a beverage is a very
weak decCction of plain hot green tea
and between the damage done 70 the
stomach by half a dozen tiny CUPS OF
weak tea and a quart Of inky black cof-
Zee. such as the American soldier con-
stantly imbibes. there can be no com

Never Chills Stomach.
The fact should not be lost sight Of
that the Japanese soldier, by his pref
erence for hot drinks, never chiIls his
stomach when he IS overheated and per-
spring. and this, in itself. makes for
better general physical condition than
that of the soldier who feverishily drinks
large quantities OF cold water from every
spring, creek, and pond along the way
