Analysis of Cheap Candies.

by the Food Bureau of a highly
important investigation. The
subject OF this undertaking is the
cheaper candies, the so-called
"penny goods" so largely con-
sumed by the little folks and
sold at the little shops and near
the school houses. There has
been good deal of talk about
these products, some alleging
even that certain Of the chocolates
owe their color not to the delcl'
Gus paste from the cocoa bean,
but to paint stuffs or ochre; that
some of the Judges contain arsen'
ic in considerable amounts, that
the bright hues that delight the
eyes and fix the fancy of our lit
tie tots are not of wholesome veg
etable kinds, but are underslra-
BILE dyes made from coal tar with.
out due care as to their freedom
from poisonous or unwhoiesome
by.products, and that tale or
soapstone IS sometime used to
give weight, in place OF whole
some food materials.
Parents are rightly concerned
that their loved ones, too young
to protect themselves and readily
begulled by deceptive appear
ances, shall, on the one hand, not
be deprived of the little luxurles
that at once served to gladden.
their childhood days and to afford
valuable nourishment to their
active little bodies, and, on the
other, that they shall not be ex'
posed to INJURY in the house OF
their supposed friend, the candy
man.
1t is likewise important that,
if these vague charges are not
well founded, that the interests
of the confectionery trade, made
up in the main of men Of high
character who have for years or
ganHed to keep their business
free from abuses of the kind here
mentioned, shall be freed from
the shadow of such unpleasant
suspicious as those above alluded
to.
For these reasons, the Com
missioner has arranged for a
searching study of the cheap
candies SOLD in Pennsylvania.
For this purpose, about three
hundred samples have been col.
lected. In the purchase of these
samples, full care was taken to
avoid duplication, so that the
numb Der of brands represented
corresponds closely to the num-
ber of samples purchased. The
nature of the goods bought is
suggested by some of the brand
names, such as "rain. bow suck
ers, almond tops, revolvers, hum.
mer eggs, cigars, happy bunnies,
stra wberry plates, candy bols'
ters, candy sweet potatoes, candy
fish, Ice cream cups, red jumbos,
lightning rods, tootsle rolls, flag
suckers, lime barrels, ball play
er caramels, log cabin kisses. "
These samples have been de.
livered to DR.. Chas. II. La Wall,
of Philadelphia, Chemist to the
Bureau, for complete analysis.
When the work is finished the
results will be published in bull
letln form in order that the pub
lie may have full information
about the nature of these curious
ly named sweets. 1t need scarce
ly be added that, If the findings
show the existence of the bad
practices above mentioned, the
guilty will be vigorously prose
cuted; but if they fail to appear
upon this extensive examination,
it is hoped that parents fears
may be allayed, the cuildren's S
pleasure be no longer disturbed
and confectioners interests freed
from unjust annoyance.

d. B. Kraus, the hardware man.
has moved his family up from To-
peka and are now domiciled in the
Hixson residence on Western avenue
A business man who lives in CEN
trail Kansas town in a private letter
recently said that he had been in
formed that Wa-Keeney has an cleo
trio plant which cost $4,000 and that
the city lost $1,000 in operating ex-
penses in one year. His city is con-
templating the installation of an
electric lighting plant and he wanted
to know the fact. He has since been
informed of the false nature of his
misformation. which, as our citizens
will readily perceive, grew out of the
recent change of city administration.
1t is the aftermath of the loose talk
so often INDUCED in at such times.
This incident shows how great a fire
little spark kindleth. 1t also shows
how easy it is to give a town a bad
reputation, and which crops out at
the most unexpected times and
places. OF course, the "BeSt Town
on Earth,' will survive and finally
recover from this present injury, but
it would be we'll if the citizens of
this and all other towns would re-
member the excellent motto of the
Hays City commercial club: "You
can't saw wood with hammer"

What Are Brains For?

1t has been we'll said that man
from his eyes down is worth a dollar
and a half day, while from his eyes
up he is worth up to hundreds of
dollars a day. The reason that so
many people are not worth more is
that they do not use their brains,
being content to follow methods and
practices that have been hauled down
that perhaps do not meet present day
conditions any rate can not meet
them as well as what has been work
ed out lately. 1t is necessary to find
out the best that is known on any
subject that one has in hand; then
that as a starting point, work. out
new methods and practices. Often
times one finds a farmer who does
not have a good library of agricul-
tural books and does not even take
agricultural papers, and no one has
more time to read and study.
Go into doctors or lawyers office
and you will find library costing
from $500 to 1900 or more, and several
medical or law journals. When a
difficult case comes up they ramsack
books that treat of the particular
subject in hand and the journals.
Then they will call in fellow doctors
or lawyers. They do not purpose to
take any chances that it lies within
their power to avoid. Does the far
mer turn to his library, to the agri-
cultural papers and to the expert
ment station bulletins when he has
problem? a good many do, but why
not more of them? When a crop is
to be grown the best that is known
on the growing of that crop should
be brought into play in preparing
the soil, in selecting the seed, in car
ing for the crop. When stock is to
be raised the best knowledge avail
able should be used in selecting the
stock, in breeding them, in feeding
them, in caring for them, and in
marketing them. And so on with
the different operations on the farm.
This is where the man from the eyes
up comes in, and remember that it is
this kind of work that pays.
The farmer should have library
containing the latest agricultural
DOCKS, Utl6 experiment. SCdUlOn Dull6-
tins and the agricultural papers.
This will bring into his home the
best that is known on the different
phases of farming. One hundred dol
lars or even twenty-five dollars would
make COED start. And if use is
made of it, its teachings applied to
the different farm operations, the
terms would be several times one
hundred dollars greater each year
than under the hit and miss plan.
What would be even more of re-
Enumeration would be the interest
and satisfaction that comes from
work well done, from being master
of conditions, instead of slaves to
them. We like to do what we can do
we'll. The farmers cannot afford to
take chances anymore than the
doctor or lawyer 1t will be his own
fault if he does. as the information
is to be had if he simply works his
brain.-By W. c. Palmer, Agricul-
tural College, n. d.
