CANDY AN ANTIDOTE
To ALCOHOL APPETITE.

PHILADELPHIA, August s.-Dr.
Abbott, chief of the Bureau of Health.
announced yesterday that he believed
that the appetite for candy and alcohol
are fundamentally the same, that by
the development of a candy taste the
body was fortified against a desire for
rum, and in furtherance of his theory
he had been feeding his three children
each day on regular allowance of
sweets.
DR.. Chalmers de Costa of Jefferson
college supported DR.. Abbott's theory
and said that he found that blonde per-
sons usually had candy craving,
while brunettes long for alcohol. This
was because the latter were more vital.
1t also has been discovered that with
IN recent years women eat less candy
and consume more alcohol. The re-
verse Is true in men. DR.. Abbott said:
Both sugar and alcohol are carbo-
hydrates with the same organic mole
eules, differing only in arrangement.
and both administer to the same or
game craving. Many men ale develop,

ing taste for sweets. Candy is taking
the place of a dangerous appetite.
Statistics show that within three years
just passed the consumption of choco-
late in America has increased more
than other edibles. Also the soda
water business has increased phenom-
enally and confectionery 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 de-
crease"
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 ma
tion of candy eaters.

FOOL THE PEOPLE
MOTTO OF "GET-RICH-QUICk"
 MEN AND FAkIRS.
HOW SCHEMES ARE WORKED
Desire to Get "Something for Noth- Ing" ls Played Upon-Exercise of Common Sense Would
 End Graft.

"You can fool some of the people part of the time, but you can fool oth- CTS all the time," seems to be motto of the get-rich-quick men and gold brick" operators. Pages Of the daily and weekly press may be filled With warnings to readers to be on the look out for swindlers, yet many who are credited with intelligence will keep right on biting at baits thrown out to them by various concerns who sell "cats in bags"
 Psychologists say that every person has a weak spot somewhere in the brain. It seems that this softness IS commonly manifested in false reason ing that frequently one can get some thing for nothing. Understanding this desire on part of the majority, the fakirs bait their hooks accordingly. There are large concerns which have built up great enterprises by repre- senting to the people that with each bill of goods purchased the buyer gets something for nothing"
 Just think of graft like this that will draw $1,S00 worth of soap or ders in a single month from 2 :own of 10000 people! But this is just what has been done within the past few months. Just think of wives of grocers and dry goods merchants in large cities joining "soap clubs" and paying dollar each month to a for eign concern just to secure a pre- mium, while their husbands could supply them at half the cost all the soap and the premium too! Yet such is the drawing power of "the something for nothing" argument if the Creator gave these women com mon sense, they little know how to utilize it.
 Some means should be devised to tax directly or indirectly the con- cerns in foreign cities that seek to do business directly with consumers through the mails At present they are protected by the interstate com merce law. These concerns make thai. money by dealing with the peo- .>1e of some community, where they pay no taxes direct or license fees.
 Ate merchants of the town are -exed upon the business they do. Is this proposition fair one? The for eign insurance companies doing busi- ness in state must pay license fee for so doing. Why not compel the foreign mercantile concern to do the same? Our national laws should be so constructed as to provide that there be a tax on the amount of busi- ness transacted in a state by any mercantile concern in another state, unless the business be transacted by concerns which pay taxes within the state for the doing of such business.

FOR GREATER ECONOMY.
Manufacturing Drifting Closer to Fields Where Raw Material 10
 Produced.

Economy in every industry Is be- coming more pronounced year after year. Manufacturing centers are drift ing toward locations where the raw materials can be secured at lower cost During the past ten years cot ton manufacturing in the south has increased more than hundred per cent, and there has been decrease in the production of textile manufac- turing centers in the New England states in proportion to the increase in consumption. A score of years ago the great flour manufacturing centers were in New York and other eastern states. To-day the west controls man. ufactures of flour and cereal foods. When mills are located in centers of wheat and corn producing sections in number sufficient to utilize the crops of local territory, it will work bene- fit to the farmers of the land in the saving of what is now paid in freight rates or raw products to manufactur- ing centers, and the distribution cost to consumers of the land. Every farm CT can help better conditions and help himself by giving his support to local manufacturing enterprises.

Millions Are Lost Annually.

Fifty millions of dollars annually is a conservative estimate of the amount that the people of the United States are swindled out of through the opera. tion of fraudulent investment and in. surance concerns.
 How easily people are influenced to make investments in questionable con. cerns, has been recently strongly il- lustrated through the operations of the different alleged cooperative mer- cantile, home-building and investment schemes which have been declared fraudulent by the postal authorities. It is during the times of prosperity that the schemers find the richest field. People who never had the hand ling of much money, and who find in their possession a few hundreds of dollars, just have enough for the taste" of wealth so that they are easy victims for the sharpers who op. crate fake" enterprises which hold out alluring promises of great re-. turns on small investments. State laws for the control of such concerns should be stringent, and severe pun. ishment meted to thosa who oparate them.

Clarence s. Darrow, the we'll known lawyer and essayist, discussing the Haywood trial, in which he played so prominent part, said the other day:
 Some of the evidence in that trial was so transparently false that 1t re- minds me of case that came Oh in Alabama few years back. One of the witnesses in this case was an ex- tremely ignorant man. AS his testi- mony progressed, his ignorance be- came so shockingly evident that the judge, looking sternly down at him said:

An Advertisino Trick,

Every reader of newspapers who has the power of observation knows the deception practiced in advertis- ing. Often fine picture of a stove or some other article has in large figures a price given which is a third of what the real worth of the article is, and the rest of the advertisement so skillfully worded as to give the i'm pression that it is the article illus trated that is sent for the low price This is for the purpose of securing an order for an article which, when received is found to be far different from what the person who sent the order expects to receive. How would the home merchant fare should he advertise in the same manner? Would he not be placed on the list of trick sters?

HOW TO EVEN UP.

H. A. Hancock, of this city, has lived fourscore-and-five years. He has been observing causes and noting ef' one day year or so back when he had come upon a problem that was too much for him, and the remark that he made has been ringing in our ears ever since. He said: Every interest is organizing. Each class is union izng and its members ceasing to war among themselves, but cooperating for protection against other classes, and what I want to know is this: When all the classes get un1onized and all strike for less work and more pay, what's going to be done about it?"-Farmers' Journal.
 This is the easiest question in town. By eliminating the useless deadwood which the world Is carrying in the form of spectators in lands, goods and chattels, the saving will make the hours short enough to suit any sane person, and the pay is a small mat ter that will take care of itself. The burden of the world today is the non- productive clements which suhsist on the labor of others. Many of these are engaged in a so-called distribution of products. but there are millions who are living on the fat of the land, who are neither carriers nor distrib' utors, but who are merely sharks eat ing at the expense of the public.

HONEY FOR THE FAMILY.

The general neglect of the bee in- dustry and the making of honey is one of the most notable thing on the present-day farm A few years ago no well-regulated farm was thought any way complete unless it had few colonies, at least, of bees. Now the bee hive Is the exception, and is grow ing scarcer. The following, from an exchange we find going the rounds of the press, and recommend it as first rate piece of reading matter:
 Those who know how wholesome honey is, and how the children love the honey dripping from the comb, and how much better it is than so much adulterated candy and syrups (even the cane sugar candy is ac. cused of causing serious kidney trouble), should take more interest in the bees, and find a way to supply the table with honey.
 Almost anyone can keep up few stands of bees, and, by working them on the non-swarming plan, get quan- tity of honey ranging from fifty to two HuHuTeu pOuuuS per CoIoHy Oi properly managed bees. The manage ment should require only few min utes now and then. There are few things on a farm so profitable as a few good colonies when we figure what couple of hundred pounds of honey will save in molasses and pre- serve bills, and also doctors bills. A sufficient home supply can be had at the cost of a few dollars at the start, and little or no expense in run ming the colonies.
 We must learn to direct the energy of other forces to our advantage if we wish to be scientific and success. full farmers. Then, too, there is noth- ing more charming to the little ones than to watch the bees at work on the blossoms, and to see them com- ing and going from their busy home. It is a good lesson for them, too a lesson from nature.-Exchange.

There isn't much difference be- tween tenantry and slavery.

It is all stuff about controlling the market when the crop is excessively large. Suppose you raise the price to a very high figure and then raise a
 bumper crop. Who is going to hold the excess? Do you suppose the cap italist will hold it for fun? Not on your life; when he holds cotton he
 does it for a snug margin over in- surance, interest and taxes, and all probable decline. With big crop, such as is likely to be raised under the stimulus of good prices this year
 there will be an excess, and it is this excess that will control the market. The warehouse plan is a good one and worth all 1t costs, but don't you put your faith in its ability to get big price for something that is not want ed, or for an excess over the ordi
 nary demand. The warehouse will do what it is intended to do-regulate the supply, but it is not sensible to think it will be able to make prices on all of crop when only part ol tbe crop is demanded for the trade
