CANDY VERSUS RUM.
Bon Bons Destroy Appetites For Cock
tails

PHILADELPHIA Pa, Aug. s.-Dr. A.
c. Abbott, one of the Bureau of Health.
announced yesterday that he believed
that the appetite for candy and alco-
hol are fundamentally the same, that by
the delelopment of candy taste the
body was fortified against desire for
rum and in furtherance of his theory
he had been feeding his three children
each day on a regular allowance OF
sweets.
DR.. Chalmers de Costa of Jefferson
College supported DIR. Abbott's theory
and said he found that blonde persons
usually had candy craving, while bru-
rettes long for alcohol. This was be-
cause the latter were more vital.
1t also has been discovered that with
in recent years women eat less candy
and consume more alcohol. The reverse
is true of men.
DR.. Abbott said:
Both sugar and alcohol are carbohy-
drates with the same organic molecules,
differing only in arrangement, and both
administer to the same organic cray
ing, Many men are acquiring taste
for sweets. Candy is taking the place
of a dangerous appetite. Statistics
show that within three years just pas
sed the consumption of chocolate in
America has increased more than other
edibles.
Also the soda water business has in
creased phenomenally ami the confec.
tionery shops are more numerous and of
greater pretensions than was dreamed of
four or five years ago. On the other
hand in proportion the sale of alcohol
shows slight decrease"
Dr.. Abbott's Confession OF Faith"
was called out by an article in one Of
the foremost English periodicals in which
recent visitor to the United States
said the Americans were nation of
candy eaters.

CHICAGO, August s.-The telegraph
operators employed by the Western
Union in Chicago went on strike tonight
at II o'clock. The trouble was precipi-
tated by the Los Angeles strike which
started two days ago. Tonight the local
executive board OF the Commercial Tele-
graphers' Union met and discussed the
removing of men who refused to work
with non-union operators employed in
Los Angeles.
When the men were notified of this
step all the operators employed in the
overland division of the local office re-
fused to work any longer with non-union
men. When this action was taken,
night chief Operator Price, ordered all
who refused to work to leave the office.
He then went into the other divisions
and requested the men to come into the
overland division. In every case he was
met with refusal until over 10 men
were sent home.
The grievance committee of the union
called on Price and notified him unless
every man was reinstated by midnight
every union man in the Office would be
called out This was refused and prompt
ly at midnight pre-arranged whistle
wac blown and every operator employ
ed in the main office with the exception
of six wire and loop chiefs, including

Superintendent Lamb representing the
company twice today refused to receive
or deal with the committe representing

GASOLINE AND COAL OIL
MIXED CAUSES

Dangerous Fluid Found in
Several Places Result
OF Accident

During the past few days many
complaints have been made that coal
oil has been mixed with gasoline sold
in this city and that sales of this
adulterated gasoline were of fire.
quent occurrence.
The mixture makes an explosive
which is exceedingly dangerous. Sew
eTal parties have had narrow es-
capes in handling gasoline stoves
filled with supposedly pure gasoline,
while others have received coal oil
that acted peculiarly in lamps
The cleaning parlors suffered the
most, however, as they bought gaso-
line for cleaning purposes and then
discovered that they were running
the clothing they used the fluid on.
They made complaint and 1t is pos
sible that the cause of the trouble
may be located. No one appears to
be able to fix the blame at present.
The mixture is probably due to acct
dent.
While no accidents have occurred
thus far. there IS a great amount of
danger in attempting to burn adul-
terated gasoline In stoves, as the fluid
is very liable to explode, scattering
the blazing oil over everything in
the vicinity.
