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


According to DIR. A. G. 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 n craving for H.
quor In pursuit of his theory he
makes a 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
belief DR.. ]. Chalmers De Costa. the
surgeon. advances the theory that
twin appetites are a matter of temper
amcnt. The blonde will banker for
candy and the brunette for alcohol.
This, he says, is because the brunette
is more vital.
1t is also asserted that with increas-
ing freedom women are buying less
candy and more liquor ami that men
are using more candy.
ut is only my personal theory"
said DR.. Abbott, not Endorsed by any
medical authority, that the appetite
for candy and the appetite for alcohol
are fundamentally the same, the
choice of one or the other being de-
termrned by the temperamental quail
ties of the individual. Both sugar
and alcohol are carlo .hydrates, with
the same organic molecules, differing
only in arrangement, and IL is to my
mind probable that they both admins
ter to the same organic craving.
The appetite for sweets, developed,
therefore, will take the place of the
appetite for rum.
The demand for candy is increas-
ing. and this is a hopeful sign. sta
tstics show it has increased more
than 500 percent in the last three
years. This demand for candy on the
part Of such a restless, nervous peo-
pie as Americans is to my mind easily
cXplainable. a person of nervous tenn
permanent necessarily eXpends a
great amount of animal force, which
is more readily supplied by such a
readily oXidized carbohydrate as sugar
or alcohol. For that reason con
slider the child's appetite for sweets
thoroughly normal. All young animals
like sweet things"

Mail Pension Vouchers Free.

Pensioners OF the United States
government, numbering about ,OOO,-
900, will mail vouchers to the PEN
sion agencies in penalty envelopes
commencing with the next payment.
This will mean a loss to the postal
service In reduced revenue Of about
$4,000 q year. and q corresponding
saving to the veterans. There are
four payments year, requiring the
transmission Of four vouchers, or
about 8 cents in postage for each
peDsiouer. The return Of corrected
vouchers will increase this amount
some.
This new boon to the pensioners Is
the result Of an act passed BY the last
session Of congress, which requires
the pension agents to send with each
