NO WASTE IN CANDY BUSINESS.

New YORK sun
There is this similarity between the
candy business and the iron business the
scrap is rot allowed TO 60 to waste. An
observer who had an idea that candy man
uiactuncfslmust have 10 stand a lot of loss
because candies get stale took the trouble
TO investigate and learned that his idea
Wps wrong.
The big candy makers ship to their
agents throughout the country at stated
intervals. usually of a week. their stand
ard coniections. and all not sold at the
eypirntion of the interval are returned to
the factory as scrap. As the candy is
mostly sugar. and sugar is as indestruo-
tible as iron IL IS only % question for the
candy maker OF getting the sugar value
out OF the scrap.
IL is impossible TO work over the candy
into its original form, but it can be used in
many ways. For example the chief Use
10 which stale chocolates are put Is in
making carmels and other chevy con-
fections
MS mistaken idea that candy must be
fresh TO be good Ono manufactures who
makes only for the trade and confines him
self chiefly to high class chocolates and
bon bons said that candy wasn't ht to cat
until it had been seasoned for at least ten
davs. For his own use-and he is "A great
lover Of candy, despite the general belief
that no cook cares for his own messes- he
keeps chocolates about q month before
eating them.
This man has no patience with those
who assert that colored candy is poisonous
His argument is simple. As he puts H.:
What's the use of putting poison IN
candy when natural and harmless c0lonng
matter costs less Who'd put opium in
cigarettes when tobacco is cheaper than
opium
ats the same way in my business. !
can turn out honhOns in any shade you
want-lrom the greenest Of Gods green
grass to the pinkest pink of a hunting coat,
and do IL all without the aid OF any IN
rredients but pure vegetable colonngs
al have no patience with these pure food
advocates when they come nosing around
me candy business. Few Of them know
what they are talking about and the Others
have takena few sporadic cases OF children
poisoned or merely made III by overn-
dnlgence IN cheap candies and condemn
the lot OF u.s.
"The candy business demands an artist
these davs. when You have to make dis
plays of form and roloung to keep IN the
forefront of the business.

THE PERFORMANCE FINE
But, It is Said, There Are Many Others
Fit 10 be Written Down

THIS SHOOTING BY AMERICANS
Is Due In Great Part to the
Men Themselves.
TRAINING IS THE SECRET OF SUCCESS

Washington, April l6.-The record
made by Lieut.. Bradys gun crew on the
battleship Pennsylvania in hitting the
target at a distance of 200 Yards II
times in a minute and a half while the
large ship was moving at l0-knot gait
was naturally source Of qualification to
naval officers here. Fine as was this per-
iormance, it is said there are many Others
ht 10 be written down with il. But for
prudential reasons the Navy Department
has adopted the policy OF keeping these
records secret as far as possible. 50 it is
not deemed advisable to let the world
know how this Pennsylvania record with
q siX-inch gun compares with the shooting
on other ships.
But on one point the officers of expert
cnce here are agreed, and that is that this
shooting by the American bmeiackets is
due in great part to the men themselves.
Ii Is admitted that the great Improvement
ln the guns turned out at the Washington
navy yard has much to do with the i'm
provement in the target practice, but.
after all, the painstaking training through
which the gunners are being put is believed
to be the secret of success. This training
can be had only by the expenditure of
ammunition in actual practice though
useful in a degree, dummy practice cannot
replace the actual firing of the large guns
with full charges The heavy shot and
cartridge case must be handled them
selves in order TO develop the muscles of
the gunners. The amount of physical
energy expended in this record shooting
is almost incredible. In the case of Lieut..
Brady's gun, one man of the crew was
obliged to lift a shell weighing lOl pounds
II times at a rate of one elevation per
second. That would approach the de-
yelopment Of a theoretical horsepower
IN the person of that particular sailor.
Moreover, he did not only lift the shell
from the deck but threw it three feet into
the loading tray and breech of the gun
The result of this improvement in gun
merry in the American navy is startling
when attention is directed to the fact that
eight years ago it was the regulation that
just one shot must be fired from a six
inch gun in the period of time 90 seconds
in which the Pennsylvania gun crew
fired IL shots That means that one gun
now as manned by trained crew would
be equal TO a whole broadside of guns in
the days before the Spanish War.
