Candy a Good Food.

One often hears discussions as to
whether candy is a good or a bad thing
to eat. The truth is that moet of the
candy sold here in America is OF good
quality, and as it contains sugar and
glucose 1t is a good food. One point
should never be forgotten in regard
to candy-namely. that although 1t is
a healthy and nutritive food Il should
always be eaten after meals. II it Is
eaten before meals it destroys the ap-
petite and thus makes people eat less
than they should of their ordinary ar.
