Dealers in wet goods report a falling
of in receipts since Lent set In. Many
people. who are not confirmed topers,
make II a practice TO eschew intoxicat-
ing liquors during tho Lenten season,
while others who have not the neces-
sary will power TO give up tippling en-
tirely, cut down tho number OF drinks.
Others again cut out smoking, or do
their best trying to. Even the girls
are practicing a little self-denlal, and
are not eating chocolates and other
sweets until after Easter.
This. however has had little effect
on the confectionery trade. Many
men. IL seems. who are toning down
their thirst. have taken to eating candy.
The change. they find Is a very agree
able one. The abstinence from liquor
does them considerable good. ana the
candy gets the credit II Is the same
way IN other things. and people who
eat a little less, or subsist on palmer
