MARYLAND
URGES EWING
FOR OFFICE
Baltimore Attorney Would Be
Collector Of Internal
Revenue
BUT DELAWAREAN
SEEMS TO HAVE JOB

WASHINGTON, Sept. IS Nathaniel
Ewing, Jr., of Baltimore, called at the
office of the secretary of the treasury
yesterday to announce his candidacy for
collector of internal revenue.
He did not see the secretary person
ally, but contented himself with laying
his papers before Private Secretary
Byron Newton He said that he meant
10 make a vigorous fight for the place
and asked il il would be in order to re-
turn later with a delegation Of Balti-
more business men.
Mr. Newton suggested that at this
stage of the contest it would probably
be lust as we'll if Ewing left his indorse-
ments with the secretary. The appli-
cant. who said he was a lawyer and ap-
peared youthful. filed his recommends
tions and departed.
This was the only move made in the
colectorship light yesterday. Three
members of the Maryland delegation
have an appointment TO call upon the
President today. Representatives Tai

At the same time they hope to ascer-
tain the truth Of the report that Secre-
tarv McAdoo has already given an un-
qualified Endorsement to Alfred Raugh-
ley the Delaware candidate for the Job
This report has been circulated for
week and seems to be borne out by a
circumstance that came to light yester-
dav. II was learned that the Raughley
commission was made out and signed
and was about to be sent TO the Senate
when il was overtaken and held up unit
yesterdays conference.
There are abundant reasons for believ
ine that the collector fight is over unless
tho members Of the Maryland delegation
can convince the President that mis-
tage will be made in nominating a Della
ware man. II is well known in Wash
inrtnn that the administration Is dis
posed toward Raughlev
Senator Salisbury Confident.
In an interview, Senator salisbury. o
Delaware sponsor for Rauchley. admit
ted that he had assurance that Raughle,
,rould he named. He expects the Presi
dent and Secretary McAdoo to stand b.
his man.

Why Drug Stores Sell Candy.

Why does the drug store sell candy? -?
A not inconsidera BILE part of the bus
mess of the average druggist today is
the selling of candy. And yet one
might imagine that drugs and confec-
tionery had no very obvious relation.
But the fact is otherwise. Centuries
ago in Europe candy was sold eXclus-
lively by druggists. Not only that,
but they were the only candy manu-
facturers. 1t may be said, indeed, that
the pharmacist always has been a
seller of candy.
Nor, indeed, has the manufacture of
candies, even today. gone entirely out
of his hands Druggists still make
medicated CONNECTIONS of various kinds,
such as horehound drops, for colds,
and iicorice.
An effort is being made just now by
the Government authorities to prevent
the sale of unwholesome candies, some
cf which come in prize packages, the
latter containing also small tokens of
lead, copper or other poisonous met
ais, embedded in or in contact with
the candy.
