Brotherly Sympathy.

VICTIMS OF CANDY HABIT.
Its Effect Shown in the 'Porky Fat"
and Cadaverous Lean
Women,

There are two classes of stores In
New York that might easily be dis
pensed with, in the opinion of Prof. e.
II, BARLEY, M. d., of the Long Island
college. These are liquor stores and
candy stores, and of the two evils he
considers the liquor stores the least.
states the New York Tribune.
Saloons are patronized only or
chiefly by men," said DR.. BARLEY, be-
fore the domestic science department
OF the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and
Sciences, but the candy shops appeal
to both women and children, two
thirds of the population.
If you want to see the effects of
candy tipping just stand outside
big candy shop and watch the people
going in. You will find, as | have
found, that they are of two classes,
the porky fat and the cadaverous lean
The former can stand it, and put on
flesh. The latter can't, and get lean. ="
DR., BARLEY does not disapprove of
giving, children sweets, but thinks that
they should be given at meals, and
not between times. The subject was
the diet of Children" and the lee
turer spoke chiefly of the first months
of the baby's life. Nevertheless, he
does not think that this is, at the pres
ent time, the point of greatest danger.
"A large proportion of mothers" he
said, follow some prescribed regimen
during the first nine or IL months of
a child's life, but after weaving they
are left to their own resources. With
the whole market to- select from, the
temptation is to give the baby any
thing in sight. 1t is pleasure to see
him eat. He is so cunning! This
is why the dreaded second summer is
so disastrous. If the diet of infants
was selected as carefully during the
second as during the first period OF
their lives, the second summer would
be no more dangerous than the first.
"a good guide in the selection OF
child's food is his teeth. When he
has two teeth he is getting ready fol
business and may have starchy food
When the incisors and bicuspids ap
pear he is ready to masticate solit
food,
Speaking of the difficulties of secur
ing pure milk, DR.. BARLEY said tina
commercial cream should never b.
given to children. Commercial cream
is usually sour" he said. ut is hell
back for weeks and months so tina
the producers may get higher price

borhood of Philadelphia who hat
10000 cans of cream in cold storage fo

ASsemblyman Tighe'S letter should
be read by every brain worker leading
q strenuous life.
Hon. John Tighe, No. 9s Remsen St.,
Cohoes, N. Y, Member of Assembly
from the Fourth district, Albany county,
N. Y, writes as follows:
"Peruna has my hearty Endorsements
as restorative tonic Of superior merit.
At times when have been completely
broken down from excess OF work, so
that my faculties seemed actually at a.
standstill, Peruna has acted as healing
restorer, starting the machinery of mind
and body afresh with new life and
energy.
II recommend it to man tired in
mind and body as q tonic superior to
anything / know of and well worthy
serious consideration. u. Tighe.
Excess of work so common In our
country causes impaired nerves, leading
TO catarrh and catarrhal nervousness
a disease that is responsible for half of
all nervous troubles.
Peruna cures this trouble because it
cures catarrh wherever located.

THE WHITE NURSERY.
Furnishings and Bed Arrangements
Are All of White and the Cur
tains Are of Two Kinds.

The white nursery is ideal. Not q
sharp, crude white that is glazing in
itself, nor blue white which is al
ways depressing, but soft ivory white
which is negative, yet peaceful and
artistic while wholly unaggressive.
The walls have rough finish to
avoid any possibility of glitter In the
sunlight and are painted so they can
be kept hygienically clean without
trouble or expense. The ceiling is
smooth, a shade less ivory than the
walls, to add an effect of height and
GOODNESS The frieze, which does
away with too square an effect In the
room, is an almost unnoticeable bor-
der of some scattered shadowy design
in deeper ivory.
The floor is white-tiled linoleum,
which washes easily, looks always
fresh and is hidden in the winter near
the crib and bath by white lambs skin
rugs, warm and inconspicuous and
washable if managed just right.
The furniture is iron, enameled
white, without any gold ornamental
ton or bright flowers painted in
| wreaths or bouquets.
The fittings Of the little bed, for
swaying cradles are not allowed in the
scientific nursery, are all creamy white
small white cotton sheets, not linen
which carries chill, or thin flannel
the former hemstitched and the latter
bound with liberty satin ribbon
Then there are white soft wool blan-
kets and an elder quilt and pillows in
snew white slips and, the only con
trast, baby herself, very red and brown
from sun baths indoors and out. Au
tumn leaves, not pastel tints, supply
this American baby's color scheme.
Besides the crib bed there are white
painted chiffoniers and chairs and {
white bath basket, and white enam
eled bathtub and all sorts of white
bath mats and towels, and cloths anC
tiny toilet articles; white hair coml
for the bare little head, and brushes
| for the immaculate little clothes; ant
| white pique shoes that open out fla
and wash, and white kimonos ant
shawls and fascinators for chill,
mornings.
There are two sets OF window shades
green and white, the white outside
{ and then white lawn curtains that ar
! very plain and short and always fresh
and hung on white rods.
Where the doors require draperie

so" in conventions, 1t is easy for them
to nominats their selected men for the
legislature. The men thus nominated
after being elected, practically deliver
their political bodies and souls over to
those who made them legislators.
AS said before, large proportion
of the members of general assembly
are but proxies, and most of such prox-
les are mere dummies. When the real
lawmakers, having campaign in mind,
order their proxies to increase the APP
preparation for this and that institution
such and such an amount, it is done, and
thus the ruling syndicate finances its
organization.
A number of successful politicians sal
around the steam radiator in hotel
during session of the legislature. They
talked freely about the game of politics
An outsider who CHANGED along asked
one of the party to give definition of Q
successful politician. Said he:
successful polltlclan is one who
finds out how the people are heading
and then by cutting across lots gets IL
front of the procession and leads it."
Another said: "a successful politi
4 clan is the man who knows how to strik,
a good average every time, for successful
politics is the science of compromise.
One after another ventured guess
and finally the query was put to the mos
successful of them all, the real leade
OF the organization. His reply was tn
essence OF all that goes to make up tn
successes of the professional politician
and also gave clew to the power whic1
political magnates hold over their prox
les and dummies in state legislature
1t was: "A successful politician is on
who makes it easy for other fellows t
make easy money while making cas-
money for him.

This occurrence would have been bad
enough had the asylum employees been
sent out to work for the party in gem
eral election campaign, but it was much
worse in this case, for they were used
solely for the benefit of few men who
controlled the party's organization-the
ruling faction. The opposing faction
knew all about the case, but said moth
ing, because if they got in they would do
the same thing. they, too, would use the
state pay rolls to supply the sinews of
war to their organization.
This condition of affairs was so well
recognized by members of the legisla-
ture that when the estimates for appro-
priations for state institutions were laid

| was intended for the "slush fund"
If all the members of state legisla-
ture were free men; if none of them owed
their political lives to bosses, such a
thing as padding appropriations for
state government institutions would not
be possible. The padding is done for the
purpose of affording sufficient graft to
keep the big men in power. But the
methods in vogue for nominating mem
bers of the legislature make it compare

A letter has been received by H. E..
American Land & Colonization Co. at
San Francisco, which throws light on
the Jalisco situation. In it the writer
states that exceedingly heavy rains
during the past year have hampered
work on the railroad to Jalisco so
much that the excursion could not be
made at the time appointed. 1t fur
ther states that It would be unwise
for any large number to go there now
and continues:
This applies especially to people
of moderate means and to women and
children. The townsite company has
been hard at work for months to get
the town in shape, but as 1t now
stands they have neither sleeping nor
eating accommodations for any num-
Der of people, and consequently we
would request you to discourage your
people from going at this time. An
other thing is that the rainy season
commences in May, which will make
II uncomfortable without adequate
protection. am informed that the
railroad company intends at a later
date to run an excursion there for
people who wish to inspect the coun-
try or invest. at which time a lower
rate can be had than is given now"
From the above It is evident that
Jalisco investors are not wanted there
now. In view of the fact that, 1t was
the prospect of a cheap trip that in
duced most of the local people to take
up the Jalisco proposition, they are
now left in the lurch by the actiop of
the company.
