at 70 cents a pound this would be daily
saving OF &C. IL is estimated that nine
women out Of ten sample the candy on
the candy counter, while nine men out Of
ten scorn to do 50. And II has been OBJ
served that the worst offenders are among
tho1e women who are fully able TO pay.
The old saying that sucker Is born
every minute has TO be amended by strik-
ing out the word minute and inserting the
word second when a certain candy machine
is spoken OF. IL has a capacity OF sixty
"all-dAy suckers" every minute. Candy
making machines have been perfected to =
wonderful degree in the past score OF years.
They can now turn out statutes Of Buster
Brown, Tige and the Teddy Bear faster
than the child who eats them can wink
his eye. Nearly all the candy pulling IL
done by machinery, and the romance OF
the dimpled hand ard the pretty arm OF
taffy pulling time gives way TO the un.
sympathetic manipulations of cold niokeled
steel.
Under the pure food regulations the use
OF silver as a wrapping for candy was
ended about a year ago. 1t was admitted
that perhaps the silver as used was harm
less, the amount being comparatively small,
one ounce to sixteen pounds, but the court
held that 1t ought not TO be there. new
substitute for silver and tinfoil for wrap
ping candy has been brought out lately.
1t consists of q paraffln paper covered with
. coating Of shelao and then with = coat
! ing OF aluminium. 1t possesses all the ad-
vAntsges Of tinfoil, IL damp proof and
keeps the candy In fine condition under all
| sorts of surroundings.
| Paris has hit upon the finest way in the
world to guarantee the quality Of lie CEN
fectionery and food. II q customer has res-
son to suspect that anything no buys IL
adulteratsd he may at once take II to the

his money and pay q fine a. we'll II the
court desires to do 80 II may order . sign

a number OF days bearing the legend; Cen

Like the candy business, the production
Of ice cream has gone forward by leaps
and bounds in the last decade, IL was esti-
mated at the meeting OF the National Asso-
citation OF Ice Cream Manufacturers last
year that the annual production OF Toe
cream by the refrigeration process aiOne
amounts to more than 600On.Oe0 gallons
This does not include the production OF

still make it by the old fashioned Ice and
salt methods. II 10 now possible to ship
Ice cream long distances without the use Of
q pound OF ice, and this will not only
effect q saving In the packing Of the cream,
but also in the transportation charges.
Some time ago a Washington ice cream
manufacturer shipped five bricks Of ice In
the new kind Of oontainer, modelled after
the thermos bottle. from Washington to
Spokane. 1t was there reshipped to Gan
Francisco, thence to Los Angeles, thence
} 20 New Orleans, and thence back to wash
ington. 1t returned from this extended trip
in as good state as when it wasusent out,
and the temperature In the oontalner had
not varied more than two degrees In the
whole time.
Ice cream made In America now literally
travels to the ends OF the earth. One Of
the big foreign steamship lines which oper-
ates steamers TO Australia, China and India
from European portsg carries all It's Zee
cream from New York on It's transatlantic
line, and tranships the supplies TO the other
lines. Panama and SouGh America get
their ice cream mainly from the United
States although plants are being estab-
lished throughout that continent.
The history OF ice cream is an interesting
; one. The first glimpse afforded OF cold
things in summer dates TO 1850. when Cath.
crime de Medici carried her cooks with her
TO Paris. Even this, however, may be ante
dated II the recipe OF Qvintius MAHlmuI
Gurges, otherwise called the Glutton, ID
considered. In his writings he dstailed thS
process of making dish which in some
respects resembles ice cream Another
story has 1t that French chef to Charles
l OF England. first eonoocted dish Of
frozen milk and that the king was &C
taken with It that he gave the chef q heavy
pension for life with the understanding tina
he was never to make II for any one else
and that he was to keep the formula q re
cret forever.
