Sweets For Children. /.

The old theory that sugar is deleter-
lous for children is now exploded, the
latest dictum of food specialists being
that it is a food especially adapted to
children, because of their great activ-
ity, says an exchange The amount Of
sugar to be given and the form in
which it is to be supplied are still ques-
tons of much Importance. Until Il
child reaches its second year the natur-
al sugar in the milk supplies all that is
necessary, but after that sweets of a
wholesome nature eaten at regular
meals are considered beneficial. Most
people still agree that sugar should not
be used witt the breakfast mush or
porridge or wheat or oatmeal, but is
better furnished in simple puddings.
custards, cookies, loaf sugar or home
made candy. Sweet fruits, such as figs
and dates, are exceedingly wholesome.

There is no more difficult creature
TO clothe fifty than the maiden of indefi-
mite age who has left her low-belted
frocks and loose-fowing yoke dresses
behind, but has not yet attained to the
dignity of tight fitting garments. Fluffy
simplicity, so to speak, should be aimed
at, any tendency to severity of outline
being extremely unbecoming to the un-
formed figure. At the same time un-
due fussiness should be likewise avoid
ed, and all the little etceteras such as
belts, collars. ties, and so forth should
be of scrupulous neatness.

Public kissing in Disfavor.

No wonder the much -made-up beau
ties OF to-day no longer kiss one anoth-
er IN public, for complexions are not to
be trified with. and such osculations
sometimes prove DANA ging to peaches
and cream" and the nut-brown tint so
fashionable at present. There are
three reasons for the passing of this
custom. One is that the exaggerated
hats many women wear are likely to
come in collision, to the damage of
roses and paradise plumes as well as to
wearers' tempers. Then the elaborate.
gauzy neckpieces are crushed easily
and lose their pristine freshness. Third.
moving wells become a tangled mass
OF chiffon or net, and the large velvet
spots, with too rough treatment, easily
become detached. All these points
have so affected feminine nerves that
the manly handshake has ''come in.'-

MIR. Bryan In Alaha ma,

The reception OF w. J. Bryan 10 Bir-
mingham yesterday fell short of the at
tendance that has marked his former
visits to Birmingham The returned
traveller was greeted cordially along the
route of the parade, but the crowds were
much smaller than have many times been
seen on the streets of Birmingham.
Mr.. Bryan was delayed nearly two
hours in reaching the city by small
wreck at Iron City, Ala, so that the
carrying out OF the programme which
had been arranged for him made his stay
10 the city rather strenuous.
After the parade he was the guest OF
honor at lunch at which covers had
been laid for 300. Following this he
spoke TO a large crowd at the Biiou
Theatre. He was enthusiastically greet
ed. His principal topics we're the gov
eminent ownership of railroads, The
flching of democratic platform ideas BY
the republicans and the proposed indie
pendence of the Philippines. Mr.. Bryan
suggested that the democrats should have
a patent taken out TO protect their plat
form. Regarding government owner

"All ask is that when you criticise

Following the speech at the BJou, Mr..
BRYAN addressed the workingmen al
Golder's Hall. A public reception was
later rendered at one Of the leading hotels.
At dinner he and Mrs. Bryan were enter

Want A General strike.

Mannheim, Germany, Sept, 22.-The
greatest question to come up for discus
sion at the ANIMAL conference of the Ger
man socialist party, which begins here
tomorrow, will be whether general strike
shall be called thoroughout Germany.
There has been strong demand from q
considerable section of the party that in
stead of spending year after year Ia tedi-
GUS political agitation without much ef-
feet, the socialist party should bring the
entire industry oftbe country to stand
still through a general strike, thus para
lying the forces OF law aud order at 9
stroke.
A general strike, they argue, if main
tanned for sufficient time, would give the
socialists chance to dictate terms to the
Kaiser. The entire military forces of
the empire, they declare, would be
powerless against such movement.
Great political importance Alta hes to
the annual conferences of the islists
owing to the vast strength numerically

AFTER READING of the recent big
bank defalcstions in Chicago, Philadel'
phia and elsewhere, it is interesting to
recall the story of the last bank failure
in China. Moro than nine hundred
years ago, in the reign Of Hi Hung, q
bank failed in the Flowery Kingdom
Hi Hung had the failure investigated
and to bis indignation found it had been
due to reckless and shady conduct on
the part of the directors and the presi'
dent. Hi Hung at once issued an edlc'
that the next time bank failed the
heads of its president aud directors
we're to be cut of This edict, which
has never been revoked, has made
China's banking institutions the safest
the world.
