Half a Billion for Candy

Five hundred millions of dollars is spent every year in the United States for candy. This startling figure is given out by the Pan-American union at Washington, strangely coincident with the assertion of the Navy league that exactly the same sum is needed to give this country a navy which would place us in second place among the sea powers, the New York Mail remarks. In ether words, if we stopped eating candy for one year and donated the savings thus accumu- lated to the national treasury, con gress would not have to make any fur ther appropriation for a naval in- crease

No doubt we could become the military masters of all we survey-but think of the degeneraey which the jaw muscles of the nation might suffer in consequence!

All Good Fellows,

There are innumerable stories from the front of how the opposing troops will persist in fraternizing in spite of the fact that they are engaged in fight ing one another. They are all good as proving that even in the trenches the kindly side of human nature cannot be suppressed One of the most in teresting of them is told of certain place in Flanders where the British guards were faced day and night by a battalion of Germans, one of whom, by the name of Ludwig, became some how known to the British. Ludwig, declares one of the English officers writing home, was splendid specimen of manhood, and the English 'eTom- mics" conceived an admiration for him. Every morning, before the seri- ous work of the day began, there would be persistent shouts of "Lud- wig from the British trenches, where upon the German would appear for a minute on the parapet, and bow to the cheering guards, and then drop out of sight again. After this, both sides would open fire.
