At mems cafe one night a young
Americana barber-fell in with an
Engishman. The latter was berating
the Yankees for doing all manner OF
business in their shops and not follow
ing the better English plan of sticking
to one branch.
The next day he staggered into the
barber shop to be shaved. The barber
gave his face an extra good soaping
and left him, at the same time seating
himself to read.
The Englishman kept quiet for a
few minutes. when, seeing his attend
ant reading, he blurted out: why
don't you shave me, sir?"
"You will have to go up the street
for your shave" quietly replied the
barber. "We only lather here"

CANDY CURE FOR LIQUOR.
Health Chief Feeds Children Sweets
To Avoid Future Drinking.


To Avoid Future Drinking.
According to DR.. A. C. Abbott, chief
of the bureau of health of Philadel-
phia, appetites for candy and for al
cohol are kindred, and the taste for
sweets precludes craving for Ii
quor. In pursuit of his theory he
makes daily regular allowance of
candies to his children to fortify them
against the dangers of the other cray
ing later on.
In a dissertation upon DR.. Abbott's s
belief DR.. j. Chalmers De Costa, the
surgeon, advances the theory that
twin appetites are matter of temper
ament. The blonde will banker for
candy and the brunette for alcohol
This, he says, is because the brunette
is more vital.
It is also asserted that with increas
ing freedom women are buying less
candy and more liquor and that men
are using more candy.
ut is only nay personal theory
said DR.. Abbott, mot indorsed by any
medical authority, that the appetite
| for candy and the appetite for alcoho
are fundamentally the same, the
choice of one or the other being de
| termlned by the temperamental quail
| ties of the individual. Both sugar
and alcohol are carbohydrates, Will
