HaIf BiIIion AMI Candy.

The American woman is known for her
sweet TOOTH notes the New York Press.
Neither in London Paris nor Berlin do
you see 80 much candy eaten during the
matinee performances in the theateTs, nor
are the confectiOns made TO serve the pur-
pose of informal gifts to girls 80 much as
here But IT is rather surprising to learn
from member of the breed of indefatiga-
Bile statisticians that the people of the
United States spend little less than 3600,-
100000 year on candy, and of course, the
greater part Of that amount Is spent by
or for women. Dentistry items are not
included in the tables compiled by the
statlsticians. For several years 1t has
been an acknowledged fact that the United
states consumed as much candy all the
rest of the world put together, but since
1907 the candy appetite has grown to such
an extent that the United States now ac-
counts for just two-thirds of the entire
candy output Of the civilized world.
1t is not generally known, however, that
immigrants are the greatest consumers of
candy in America. In New York fully one
half of the cltys candy bin is said to be
paid by the men, women and children of
the tenement house districts, and that be-
comes all the more significant when the
difference in prices between the Grand
street and the Broadway candy stores is
taken into consideration. Physicians who
are aware Of this almost inordinate appe-
tite for sweets among the poorer classes
say New York has every reason 10 con-
gratulate itself that It has brought only
good instead of evil results Not many
years ago most OF the candy sold, espe-
cially in the smaller stores. was almost
poisonously impure, injurious acids and
dyes being used in the manufacture. Med
teal men say that II candy OF that quality
had been eaten I'm the quantities that
candy is eaten today it would have had a
terrible effect on the health Of the gem
Grafton now approaching maturity. To-
day. however, IL Is reasonably safe TO
buy candy anywhere and it's consumption

cles as minimizing the likelihood OF the
growth OF a taste for drink.

latest Maude Adams story. 1t seems that a
little girl OF 3, VINO lives in Trenton, ~ j.

years ago. She wrote Miss Adams telling
her so, but in the stress and shuttle of
theatrical hurry received no answer Yet
the childs faith in her actress never wa

4 About this time she began saving her
allowance for an unnamed purpose. The
allowance was cents a week, which she
increased occasionally TO and even 10 by
doing family errands.
A year later when Miss Adams was play

Empire theater, during the holiday weeks,

Through somebody's error the little note

reached the star, and she knew of no one
to thank SO the little girl went back to
Trenton and waited day after day, her
faith in her goddess sorey tried
AT this point enter Edward BPk AT a
dinner in Philadelphia he happened to over
hear the story told by an aunt OF the little
girl.
Mr.. Box knows Miss Adams and he knew
that something ought to be done. So with.
out incriminating himself he drew out OF
the narrator the name of the little gill
which, in part, was Nellie and her parents
address in Trenton. The outcome of all this
was that when Miss Adams PLAYED Tren-

heavens opened and out of the opening
came an enormous photograph of Peter
Pan with an autograph inscription and an
invitation 10 come behind the scenes al

Proper Care of the Piano.


In many households there is not piece
of furniture that is more sorely neglected
than the plano Anyone who has ever
studied the construction of a pianoforte
knows that its mechanism is most delicate
intricate and sensitive. 1t is no wonder
then, that 1t requires a great deal of care
and suffers severely from neglect
Some people think that they are treating
their piano well II they have 1t tuned once
OF twice year says the New York TribI
une. 1t should be tuned at least four times
TO prevent loss OF pitch and should be kept
at concert pitch all the time. To raise or
lower It a half tone means to spoil it ire
mediably, say the authorities.
1t is almost as important to place the
piano we'll as to keep It tuned. 1t should
not be put too near the wall, as this alb
serbs the tone; It should be put near the
inner wall rather than the outer. to pre-
vent dampness or cold from affecting it,

A piano should be kept free from bric-
a-brac, pictures and lamps because they
all tend to make the tone metallic. So often
when a note is tinny or tremulous 1t is

FOR FALLING HAIR

The man or woman whose hair is be-

after the fashion adopted for some OF the
late winter models, fashion calculated to
make things unpleasant for the person
who sits next to the hats wearer.
An occasional model whose trimming is
posed quite in the back follows tendency
distinctly marked in the winter hats, but
this movement is less marked in the south
ern hats than 1t might have been ex-
pected to be and II remains to be seen
what spring will do with the idea.
Straw turbans, built much on the winter
lines, are sometimes smart looking for
wear with tailored costumes, but no matter
how soft and light the straw it has a
hardness of line and contour which
makes the straw turban less successful
than the winter models of fur, beaver or
velvet.

And 1t all looks on the face of it like one
process. The child needs education; he
needs industrial training; he needs play

rest? Why, indeed, must we not supply the
rest to make the one-the conceded one,

The question seems simply how far a sim
gle principle shall be carried. Is it such
in truth, or is there somewhere an invisible
line beyond which we are no longer doing
what we started out to do but something
else, or are undoing it?
Obviously there must be somewhere such

REVOLUTION A FAILURE.
Mexican Ambassador Minimizes the
Clashes in His Country.

Washington.-Sen de la Barra, the
Mexican ambassador, received reports
Sunday that show that the recent
Mexican revolution" was monu-
mental failure. He said that the re-
volt was scarcely more than an i'll nd
vised riot.
The dispatches received from the
office of foreign affairs of Mexico give
the number of slain at Puebla at 20,
with IL wounded. The, Puebla riot ire
ferred to in some dispatches as bat
tle'D occurred on November IL. The
number of dead was variously report
ed at from 100 to 400.
The Puebla trouble was Of short du-
ration. twenty-five revolutionists
gathered in house to formulate a
conspiracy against the Diaz govern
ment. Their presence was discovered.
The Puebla police, assisted by COM
pany of soldiers, attempted to arrest
them. The revolutionists opened fire.
The twenty-five persons killed rep.
resented losses on both sides, as a
number of the revolutionists, soldiers
and members of the police fell during
the exchange Of shots.
