CANDY TAXES PLACE or
BEVERAGES

Prohibition is effecting another
radical change in the conditions. 1t
has always been a recognized fact
that whenever a man decided to alb
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 I'M
portant consideration that all the
larger hotels now have theM own
candy shops as part of their estah
lishments and the delicacy is no
longer crowded in on the newstands
People eat candy three and four
times a day. Even Muit has failed
to satisfy. Guests order candy sent
to their rooms now in the same way
they formerly ordered bottle of
wine or fruit.
The candy sales have more than
quadrupled in the las, few months. :"
said a hotel man. Nearly every
body asks for candy as part OF their
luncheon and dinner orders. and
many have candy served for break
fast.
And yet under our taxation laws
candy is classed as luxury and
assessed with a !, per cent excise tax
