CANDY AS DESSERT.
Sweet Tooth of the World Knows No
Decay.

One tooth at least out of all the
twenty-four has achieved the reputation
OF knowing no decay. Technically it is
known as the sweet tooth, and though
it might prove difficult to locate upon in
vestigation, evidence of its imperishable
nature and steady advance in strength
and beauty as the years pass is amply
shown by statistics just published re-
yealing that its consumption of candy
between ls49 and 1917 rose in value from
$1,000 900 to ls5,000,0O0.
From lS49 to 1917 the consumption
of candy in this country gradually in
creased from Is cents per capita to 81 so
per capita per year." says Walter Chester,
! writing in Advertising and Selling.
Making due allowance for the de-
creased purchasing power of the dollar.
the fact remains that. in 1917, Just be-
fore the Food Administrations restric-
lions went into effect, each man. woman
and child was consuming at least ten
times as much candy as in lS49

What happened in the candy business
was that the sweet tooth, having grown
to such proportions, finally came to con-

necessity, and candy has come to be gen,

The taste for candy so stimulated ane

From accurate statistics, it appears tina

In the same way the fathers reached
An equitable goal.
This Constitution l would take

With only men to bolster it
The best they could alone
And put it in an ancient box,
With seal of our great state,

A DISAPPOINTING END.

The ending of the sixty-ffth con-
gress of the United States at noon
Tuesday was a defeat of the majority
and a discredit to few members of
the minority who successfully blocked
the enactment of so many necessary
and important measures. A few un-
manageable persons violated the ethics
of senatorial courtesy and dealt ser
ious blow to their country. 1t is not the
first time the majority of the senate
has been defeated by filibusterers but
We wish we might feel it is the last
time the senate will submit to the tyr
amy of few unprineipled members.
The country is left in a. serious
plight. The failure to enact the gen
eral deficiency bill with its $750,000,-
600 appropriation for government OPP
Grafton of the railroads, the sundry
civil bill with its $500, 100000 appro-
priation for the shipping board, the
army, naval and agricultural bills,

of government without funds to con
tinue their work. The deadlock between
the President and congress over a
special session will continue the prosti.

sify the disgrace of the country.
