The Mayor of Berlin.

One Of the principal requirements of
a mayor In Germany is unqualified hon.
esty, for in the municipal administra-
ton Of Germany graft IN any form
would not be tolerated. To become the
moyor Of city like Berlin the ap-
plfcant must have established his repu-
tation for efficiency in governing other
German cities. His career is carefully
scrutinized by the members of the
town council who select him, for not
only must he be competent and sue
cessfully perform the duties Of his high
position. but still so young as likely to
remain competent for many years, for
q mayor in Prussia is elected for a
term of twelve years and If not re-
elected after That period IL entitled to
life pension of half the amount of his
salary. After service of six years
his pension is one-fourth of his salary
and after serving twenty years two
thirds. He need not necessarily be a
resident of Berlin at the time Of his
appointment-in fact, the Mayor is usu-
ally chosen from the residents Of other
cities

Children and Candy,

Give children plenty of pure sugar,
tnffy and butter scotch and they'll have
little need Of cod liver oil, says DR..
Woods Hutchinson in Woman's Home
Companion. In short, sugar is, after
meat bread and butter, easily our
next most important and necessary
food. You can put the matter to
test very easily. Just leave off the
pie, pudding or other desserts at your
lunch or midday dinner. You'll be as
tonished to find how quickly you'll
feel ''empty" again and how "unfin-
ished" the meal will seem. You can't
get any woakingman to accept a din
ner pail without pie in it. And he's
absolutely right. The only thing that
can take the place of sugar here is
beer or wine. 1t is significant fact
that the free lunch counters run in
connection with bars furnish every
imaginable thing except sweets. Even
the restaurants and lunch grills at
tached to saloons or bars often refuse
to serve desserts Of any sort. They
know their business! The more sugar
and sweets man takes at meal the
less alcohol he wants. Conversely.
nearly every drinking man will tell
you that he has lost his taste FOR
sweets. The more candy a nation con-
eumes, the less alcohol.
