prohted TO the point where the nation
now spends more money yearly for
candy than it does for butter.
To be exact, 1T costs Uncle Sam one
hundred and fifteen millions yearly
for the butter he puts on his bread
and IN his cooking, which is SIS, 900. 900
less than his candy bill amounts to.
These are dazing figures. They give
a new interest to the candy shop with
its burden of dainty sweetmeats.
Everybody has known in a general
way, of course, how closely candy has
been interviewer with the progress of
civilization. In fact, candy Is Cupid's
right bower. How many thousand less
marriages would there be to report in
the course Of a decade were it not for
the appealing influence exerted on the
feminine mind by the proper presen-
tation OF candy at the right time.
A courtship with confections cut out

It is owing 10 the growing penchant for
sweets that the candy bin of Uncle Sam

It is said by experts that the enorm-
Gus increase in the use of candy is the
direct outcome of a corresponding de-
crease in the use Of alcohol.
Physicians have noted the fact that
the two tastes are diametrically op-
posed.

and il is rare to find a heavy drinker

In the last few years the admitted

wonder how the wind could be raised.
An examination of the material used
in the building of the temple and of
the number Of men who worked on It
shows impressively that 1t would be
a venture involving millions.
AS the story is told in the best con-
temporaneous records when Solomon
projected the temple he first sought the
help of Hiram, king of Tyre, and
begged his aid. Especially he wanted
assistance in the matter of cutting

Hiram assured Solomon of his heart

generous use of candy.
In his arguments he combated some
of the old time ideas OF our grand
mothers, who held that candy did not
compose proper food.
Many a lad or lass, after long battles
with parents for as much candy as they
deemed proper for the childish pleasure,
will now hail with joy the word of

yet both Cook and Peary carried with
them large quantities of gumdrops and
praised them very highly.
The taste for candy is universal in
craving of the child; it is the Joy of
the growing boy and girl, the dream
of the matinee girls heart, and now

The one hundred and thirty millions
spent yearly in this country can hardly
be considered as an extravaganza when
the value it confers is taken into ac-
count.

tary way. for It Is possible to make
candy much moro cleanly as the
amount Of hand labor Is decreased
Many Of the complaints Of our grand
mothers against candy were probably
more or less justified in their day. for
the science of candy making had not
yet gone forward to its present condi-
tion, but at the present time. as a re-
suit of the wonderful advance, it is
now possible to buy wholesome candy
as low as 10 cents a pound retail:
therefore there is no longer any ex-
cuse for adulteration, or any reason
why the use OF candy should be re-
stricted.
American manufacturers not only
lead in the amount and quality ~of
their confections, but also in the un-
derstanding of how to present them
attractively how to get up new ideas.
The French used to be way ahead
in this direction. but the American
has now forged to the front and
gained a premiership that will hardly
be taken away.
While much candy has decreased in
price some of it has undoubtedly
scared. but this is the luxury kind
There are plenty of candies that cost
as much as 81 or So pound, but
these bear the same relation to candy
that pate de foie gras does to other
foods. They are the luxuries. not the
necessities. For the person who wants
something very special they are all
right, and they give excellent value
The San Francisco call., 1910-01-30

for the money. They are delicious as
to taste and beautiful as to appearance.
In their production have been engaged
the services OF men who get special
lists salaries. the price paid to those
who can do something not possible to
the other fellow.
But the average price puts good
candy within reach Of even the poorest
families. and the honor with which it
is prepared today makes it food as
well as delightful form OF luxury.
y The high character OF men who take
part in the manufacture Of candy In the
United States is best illustrated by,
what happened in connection with the
passing OF the pure food law Of 1906.
This was the most rigorous regula-
tion OF the kind ever passed In the
United States. 1t involved control OF
all kinds OF foodstufs. from bread and
meat to whisky.
It imposed unusual regulations. and
the cry was raised In many cases that
the restrictions We're un-American and
unfair and imposed too great a burden
on various industries.
Protesting delegations waited on con-
gress and there were all kinds OF fights.
But the candy makers, instead OF
protesting. welcomed the new law.
They accepted the regulations imposed
on themselves. they were satisfied with
every rule that aimed to conserve the
public health. and that probably ex-
plains why the trade has made such
remarkable strides.

Bitnmilized Streets Encourage
Building of Residences Be-
tween Preside and Park

Richmond district Is making rapid
strides in Improvement, both in street
work and residence building. The
bituminizing of Lake and California
streets has been a large factor in the
extension of the Presidio heights dis
trict.
The determination of the city to de-
velop Lincoln park, which occupies the
cliffs Bordering on and overlooking the
Golden gate, work on which has al
ready actually been started, was the
beginning of a new era in the develop
ment of the Bakers beach district. The
new park, together with a system of
boulevards connecting it with Golden
Gate park, both by direct drive and by
the use of Lake street to Thirteenth
avenue, and thence through the new
panhandle. which connects the Pre-
sidio with the park, have been great
attractions to the well to do class of
home builders, especially those who
have the means to motor
