nURE candy ought to be marketed at
i cost by the w. C. T. U. 1t is great
foe TO old King Alcohol Let man
keep a box Of candy in his desk or handy
by his workbench, to nibble on when
he is tired, and he won't crave drink
of beer or whiskey-all he'll want Is
water.
The United States authorities ship tons
of candy to the Philippines to be sold
through the canteens to the soldiers. 1t
satisfies the soldiers need of an easily
digested, quickly available carbohydrate
food, and so makes ''vino" unnecessary
to his welfare.
There are some people-and they are
usually TO be found in the rural COM
munities-who still Insist upon the imag-
mary relation between candy or sugar
and worms" And. what is worse, there
are parents so benighted as to believe
these old fshwife yarns and restrict the
quantity of sweets in the children's bill or
fare We cannot reiterate too often the
fact that sugar is the childs most natural
food-more than half of the solid matter
in milk is sugar. Sugar is tonic to the
heart In the sense that II applies quickly
available muscular energy to that organ.
Sugar is a muscle food. II there is such
a thing. It is therefore essential in
ehild's diet. particularly an active, hard
playing child. And certainly there is no
more digestible nor more appeuzlng. nor
more balanced a meal in the whole cate
CORY of dietetics than slice of good

The Idea may be
shocking, Il; but
This is the story:
The truth is back
of it.
Mrs. Jones believes
in looking nice, in
keeping her hands and
her face soft and free
from traces of the
days w k. Mrs.
Jones lives in an
apartment and has no
maid.
Now Mrs. Jones used, for
this purpose, La Daintee Face
Cream for her face and La
Daintee Hand Cream for her
hands, and the effect aVGs
wonderful.
Her face found a smile an
easy thing to attempt and
lost an incipient wrinkle or
two; her hands, formerly
harsh and cracked from the
use of cleansers which were
mostly lye, were marvelously
softened and rested by the
use of tht Hand CIeam. SO
she toldsher Husband about
it. He beingR salesuian, did
much alkipg.1 This walking
formed several chafed and
soresspots on his "Tendons
of Achilles"
Now, Mr.. Jones got a
hunch. And Mrs. Jones
made a mistake; she left her
Hand Cream on the table in
full sight, and Mr.. Jones did
the rest-he used it upl
Every night for a week he
rubbed the soothing Hand
Cream on his aching tendons
and the callouses were soften
ed just as his wife's hands
had been softened.
Mrs. Jones was somewhat
put out when she saw the
empty jar, but then she re-
membered that she had seen
these lines;
