CANDY SALES ARE
AFFECTED BY END
OFWAR OVERSEAS

Candy and guns, however little
they may seem to have in common,
at least exhibited one similar
phenomenon, and that is the bust
ness of selling both which thrived
on the war has slumped since the
war ended. Retail candy merchants
of Rock Island have noticed a con-
siderable decrease in the sale of
sweets since the beginning of de-
mobilization.
The manufacturers of candy,
while they have larger stocks on
hand now over last year, attribute
it more to the fact that they are
now on 100 per cent sugar basis
as compared to the SO per cent basis
of last year than to a decrease in
candy sales. The government plan
which has been in operation for the
last few months of including one
half pound box of candy a week to
each soldier as part of his regu-
lar rations keeps up the wholesale
business.
The decrease in the retail bust
ness, according to a representative
OF one local firm, is due to the fact
that the mothers, sisters and sweet
hearts are not filling the mails

SALVATION ARMY
ALTERS METHODS
ENLARGING WORK

Its war mission fulfilled with
honor and its future bright in the
promise of service to be performed
for the morally and physically
weak and poor, the Salvation
Army has decided upon a program
which contemplates maintaining
contact with all of the returning
soldiers and sailors, their relatives
and friends and all others who
need help.
With this program comes a
marked change in methods of So
Letting funds for with the aband-
onment of the old order is to go
the most effective, but now up-to-
date, alms-collecting institution in
the history of relief organizations
the tambourine. In its place the
Salvation Army will concentrate
each year on one big effort to COL
Iect funds. This will leave its Off
GERS and workers, which number
more than a quarter of a million
trained men and women. at liberty
at all times to concentrate on
works of mercy upon greatly in
creased scale.
The new plan was adopted at a
meeting of the executive council
held in New York at which Com
missioner Thomas Estill, head of
the Western department, was
leader. He brought from the ter
ritery from Indiana and the Pa
cific reports of a call voiced by
millions of new friends that the
splendid work of the Salvation
Army abroad be followed up and
expanded in the United States. His
plea was heard and followed even
though it meant the most radical
departure in methods in the SO
years of the organizations history
1t means the beginning OF career
OF usefulness far exceeding any
dreamed of prior to the war.
