Adventures of

BY Olive Roberts Barton

Nancy and Nick were listening
breathlessly to San Claus story The
fire in the great CRATE roared cheerily
and the candles sputtered in their
thousand candlesticks in the greae
room in Santa's home.
THAT night Santa was saying, II

cats and toy horses and bears all day.

and now the toys were in great bags
and boxes for safe keeping until they

Adoption of a policy of telling the

opportunities and attractions is frank
admission that someone may have
fibbed in the past. Florida has no
cause for jealousy of the Bear State
and is in the position of disinterested
spectator The results of a whole truth
policy naturally will be evident before
long. What We shall see we shall see.
California has done we'll to start such
a campaign.
The telling of the truth regarding a
state and its resources and opportuni-
ties is bound to deepen the confidence
of the people who are looking for new
locations. That some Florida enthusi-
asts may have at intervals slipped a
cog and told a big of fib not at all
improbable. No doubt the fib made
more enemies for the state than if the
whole truth had been told. Truth
travels slowly while falsehoods seem
to be spread by the winds.
Florida has sufficient good quail
ties to warrant the truth in every in
stance. The man or woman who,
whether due to enthusiasm or for bus
mess purposes, misrepresents the state
does untold damage to the states best
interests. OF course. the prevaricators
soon pass into the discard.

Everything from caramels to milk choco-

TO introduce in short order into their
market such household commodities as

Hanzaburn Matsuzaki. managing di-
rector of one of the largest candy making
concerns in Japan, the Morinaga cOnfec-
tionery, has compiled the following brief
history of the industry from the reign
of Jin-mu Tenno, the first emperor of
Japan:
The making of cakes or confectionery
had been started in Japan previous to
the reign of Jin-mu Tenno, the first en-
peror. When he celebrated his victorious
campaign at Mount Takakura he or
dered made some 'mizuame,' a sort of
sweet jelly made with milIet The term
'kwashi,' which in English means CON
fectloncry or sweetmeat, was coined in
the reign of Emperor Sunjin. The stuff
was made of fruits but as time went on
syrups We're introduced, which mixed
with rice or wheat flour made a sort of
paste cake. The confectionery business
developed rapidly in the luxurious mode
of life of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
| Cakes were originally used only as feast
| offerings to deities, but came to be eaten
at formal teas. In the latter DAYS of the
! TOkugawas white sugar was introduced
| from Holland, and the Dutch in Ma
gasak taught the japanese how to make
| sponge cakes and to use sugar for var
/ iOuS sorts of cakes
''All this was done by hand up to 1898,
when the Oriental Confectionery Co.
was established in Toxic, aided by for
! eign experts and imported machinery.
/ There was much popular opposition to
! these cakes of foreign origin, and those
! engaged in making them were regarded
with hatred and haraSsed in every posi-
| bic way, but this feeling has more re-
