CANDY TAKES A
OF SPIRITED BEVERAGES

Prohibition Is effecting another
radical change in the hotel menus.
1t has always been a recognized fact
that whenever a man decided to abb
stain from intoxicants his craving
for sweets will develop at once. and
this general growing demand has re-
suited in New York hotels putting
candy on their menus. says the New
York Times.
Candy has become such an import
ant consideration that all the larger
hotels now have their own candy
shops as part of their establishments
and the delicacy is no longer crowd
ed in on the newsstands. People eat
candy three and four times a day.
Even fruit. has failed to satisfy.
Guests order candy sent to their
rooms now in the same way they for
merly ordered a bottle of wine or
fruit.
THE candy sales have more than
quadrupled in the last few months"
said Copeland Townsend of the Ma
jestic hotel. Nearly everybody
asks for candy as part of their lunch
con and dinner orders. and many
have candy served for breakfast"
And yet under war taxation laws
candy is classed as a luxury. and as
sessed with a FIVE per cent excise tax
over and above all other taxes.

The thing for the full-grown adult
man In this country to do right now
and for the next few months and
years to come is to keep his eye on
the W main reservoirs.
The first Of these is the great seas
onaI reservoir Of supplies-especialiy
raw material-which mankind as q
whole accumulates to carry It round
the year. During the war 1t was all
outgo and no income here. The pool
was drawn down many times almost
to bottom. But 1t is now gradually
filling up-in this country at least.
There is still great lack in the
world; Europe is in parts-though
In fewer parts and in less degree than
a year ago-still in dire want. There
are also manufacturing products
notably in the building and metals
trades-which must still be had. and
apparently can still be held. at fam
inc prices. But IN this country-es-
pecially in the greatest Of all staples.
food products-the level in the res
ervoir is clearly rising.
In Chicago. the great meat center,
there is more meat; in New York,
the great center of general food dis
tribution, Winter Inventories showed
| almost twice as much butter and eggs
in storage as the previous Winter;
the Federal wheat director has gone
out of his way to warn farmers and
millers against the possibility Of loss
from the greatly increased supplies OF
-four and wheat which they hold. In
Boston, the center of the wool trade,
an inventory at the opening of the
year showed almost twice much
wool on hand as in the year before.
So you can count on this much-in
spite of varied and important excep-
tions-our American reservoir Of raw
| material is being filled up with most
| of the great staples Of food, and with
| at least one great staple of clothing
The other reservoir which we all
| need to watch Is on the other hand

which was filling VI in this country
while our reservoir of raw materials

drew back from her reservoir of raw

the quiet, affectionate variety is usually
an inveterate shirker. One dog will dis
play remarkable cunning. He knows all
the tricks of his trade; he will pull hard
as long as his driver is watching and
slacken as soon as his attention is diverted
elsewhere; at mealtimes he stays about
the sled, hoping to get his portion first
and sneak back for second meal, or at
the worst to steal part of another dogs
rations. Then again, you have your big,
easy-going "wheel" dog, steady and un-
excitable, but always ready to lend an
ounce or two of his weight whenever the
sled seems likely to hang on hummock
of ice. 1t takes all kinds of men to make
a football or a baseball team, and all
the right combination in either case and
everything goes well.
Even strange dogs recognize and respect
a leader. An Eskimo whom often visited
possessed five large dogs that as usual
among these people, lived in the entrance
to his hut and kept away all intruders of
his kind. Jumbo's first introduction to
them was rather dramatic. No sooner was
the old fangless leader seen approaching
than all five dogs rushed furiously upon
him with savage growls. An ordinary
dog would have turned tail and Aed; not
so Jumbo. He stifened in every limb,
barred his teeth while emitting a low
growl, and with tail and head erect
marched proudly and calmly through their
midst, turning neither to right nor to left.
1t was new experience for the huskies;
they stood irresolute for a moment then
followed quietly in his wake. Jumbo often
entered this hut afterwards, cody pushing
by or walking over the dogs in the pas
sage. Sometimes they would growl a
little; usually they took no notice. Never
did they attempt to dispute his passage,
though other dogs, even those from neigh
boring huts, were relentlessly driven
away.-Ex.

WAITING FOR YOU

Somewhere under the great canopy of
Heaven there is faithful soul who waits
the day of our emancipation with a
longing known only to those who have
waited and watched counting the days,
hours, and even the minutes as they are
licked off by "Father Time" 1t may be
a mother who waits for her boy; it may
be a sister who watches for brothers
homecoming; perhaps daughters heart
will be gladdened by "daddy's return;
the loving wife in prayer that the day
may speedily come; or maybe it's sweet
heart who longs for the man of her choice.
But whoever it is, the suffering of that
person has been greater than yours, and
their faithfulness should inspire firm de-
termination on the part of each man here,
that, God being his helper, he will not
again bring such misery into the life of
his loved one.-Good Words.
