CHINESE "SUGAR-CAN DAY
Observed In Chicago Chinatown by
Consumption of More Than Ton
of Saccharine Article.

Chicago.-"Su gar-cane" day was OBJ
served in Chicago Chinatown the
other day by the consumption of more
than a ton of the saccharine article,
which is the Chinese favorite confec-
ton.
When the first shipment Of cane
arrived from New Orleans every
Chinaman in town came to Clark
street to gorge himself on the sweet
stalks. In some of the stores where
cane was sold there were contests
among the gourmands as to which
could eat the most.
"Chinamen seldom eat candy"
said Frank Woy, the mayor of China
town, but never knew one who
wasn't crazy about sugar cane.
"Chinamen have a weakness for
chocolate ice cream soda. perfumed
soap, sugar cane and having their
photographs taken. 1t is nothing I'M
usual to see a Chinaman buy per
fumed soap at % and so cents a cake
Some of them take a trunkful of 1t
back to China when they go on
visit"
