The craving for sweet is a normal
craving, and the wise parent is the one
who guides this craving and satisfies it
BEAUTIFULLY rather than the one who
tries to put it down.
Children should be allowed to eat a
sufficient amount of sugar to give them
a we'll balanced diet. 1t is generally
agreed that sugar with acid fruits is
unWholesome. as it is with cereals, be-
cause 1t sets up fermentation. But
candy, eaten with or directly after
meals, is wholesome. And as the pur-
est candy can be made at home-that
is to say, as one may be sure that
candy is nearly pure If it is made at
home-it is a good thing for the careful
mother to prepare candy frequently
herself for their happiness.
Here are some recipes not difficult
to carry out.
Butter Scotch-Boil one cupful OF
sugar, n cupful of butter and one
cupful of molasses until the mixture
hardens when dropped into cold water.
Spread thinly in a shallow, we'll but
tered pan, and mark into small quare
when half hardened.
Stuffed Dates-Shell and skin roast
ed peanuts and remove the pits from
some meaty dates. Into each date in
sert two whole peanuts, press the
halves together and roll in granulated
sugar.
Honey Popcorn-Boil one pint of

he cried out: "How beautiful this old
