there was something of panic among
people who needed that commodity
number OF people, notably the
First Bank & Trust Co. and the Lewis
Mercantile Co. on Ohio streets, had
nut up casks of free Ice water
which proved TO be boom to the
thousands who tnronged the streets
I'll day and night. The Cairo Sunday
School Association had two tanks of
tree water one at Commercial avenue
md Eighth street and one on Wash
ington avenue between Eighth and
Ninth streets. Men were put in
sharge Of these and proper cups were
provided. Other public spirited citi.
zens followed suit and there was no
no dirth of this article of greatest
human need.
The Cairo Ice Co., tBuder Packing
Co., Cairo Brewery Co, McCarthy's
Ice Plant, Winter Bros, we're all out

the police who assisted him. There
were fully 1000 people on the grounds
and they we're kept under excellent
control. ] frequently have much
trouble at the starting point with the
crowds who want to get as near the

In making these trips over the

river the machine would float.

Millions for Candy.

The news contained in the 1910 census
report, that we spend more than 50 year
per capita on candy, is not likely to fill
our minds with CONSERVATION. We could
build one hundred battleships in twelve
month with the money we spend for
sweets. We much prefer the sweets.
Nearly or quite four times as much
candy is required in the United States
as was made ten years ago. The census
figures, when completed, will bear out this
statement. Candy factories have doubled
in number and then doubled again within
the last decade and candy shops are as
thick, almost, as liquor saloons.
1t is estimated that the factory value OF
the candy product of the United States for
the year 1910 was at least $3.50, OOO,0 900.
In Chicago. where vast 4 .antities OF candy
are manufactured $3.50, 900 is reck-
oned as a wofully low estimate. Chicago s
candy production in 1910 increased so per
cent over the output for 1909.
| have been unable to obtain any data
for an accurate estimate of the number
of pounds of candy Uncle Sam and his
family consume annually. But If we can
take the assurance of experts in the trade
that the consumer pays an average price
of 20 cents pound for candy, then 5000
100000 will purchase 2,500,O0O,O00
pounds, or considerably more than l,OO0,.-
900 tons. One purchaser alone the United
States Steel Corporation) bought 10 tons
of candy last Christmas for the children
of its employees.-Good Housekeeping.

AUTOMATIC SHOPS.
Edison Predicts They VIII Come Out
and Do Away With Charity.

III some rich man seeking worthy
outlook for his money would install a
series of automatic stores to be located in
the poorest sections of our large cities, /"
SAYS Thomas A. Edison in Business, he
could make FIVE per cent on the invest
ment and so eliminate the word charity
and yet accomplish benefit greater than
any produced through the millions given
in the past.
with the purchasing power these stores
would have they could buy everything at
wholesale. Then let them dispense only
the necessaries, put up in penny and i've
cent lots. We already know what can be
done with automatic vending machines,
and these could be adapted to the sale OF
packages of tea, coffee, beans, peas, flower,
sugar and all other staple foods, as we'll as
fuel.
"At present the market for such wares
is lust the reverse of what it should be.
The rich, with their ability to buy in guam.
tity, are able to purchase their foods and
fuel at a little more than fraction OF the
prices paid by the poor, and by our, pres
emit methods this may not be obviated'
'"The automatic store-and II VIII just
as surely come as will new inventions de-
signed to reduce hand labor through the
adoption of more efficient machinery-will
not only save through its ability to make
quantity purchases, but will do away with
clerks and cashiers, will in fact demand
only the presence of single person, whose
duty will be that of general overseer.
'These stores, built OF concrete, will de-
mand little if any fire insurance, and may
be kept sanitary even in the most CON
gested districts by giving them thorough
washing with hose at night. Their eco
nomical operation, combined with their
purchasing power, will make it possible
for the man who earns a dollar and a half
a day to buy as cheaply as the rich man.

winter arrived before the company could
