MODERN YOUNG MANI
 STILL BUYS CANDY
But He Gets It in Small Pockeet-
 Size Packages

To some people, candy is candy. But candy is not always candy to everyone, according to a local con- fectioner. There are various styles and kinds of candy and ways of hand ling it and habits and customs in buying it, which regulate the de- mand and supply and thus keep abreast of the trade.
 Years ago when the writer, and some of the readers were younger, the young man intending to call on his sweetheart on q. Saturday evening, put on his Sunday suit" shined his best pair of shoes, got the Sunday hat out of the trunk and proceeded to the corner drug store where he pur- chased the largest, most gaudily dec- orated, and fanciest box of candy he could find, within his financial means. Then he went to the home of the young woman in question and spent the evening in the parlor, departing for home about 10 o'clock.
 The Modern Swain.
 Today the young man is different. He demands to know if his other suit has returned from the tailor's, gets his shoes shined at the Creeks place on the corner, and lights a two for a quarter cigar as he strolls into the leading confectioner's. T want box of - he says, mentioning one of the standard brands. "Yes sir, how large a box would you like?" "Oh, give me something I can slip into my pocket I don't want to be seen carrying the blamed thing down the street." Thus he gets small pack age, plain white or wrapped in white paper and carefully concealed from sight. He strolls to the telephone booth on the corner calls up Mae or Mabel, or Margaret, and says, Hello Peaches, let's go to the movies" When he gets to Mabel's home she meets him at the front door and the box of candy is opened at the theater.
 NO, I don't think prohibition has much to do with it' said a local candy dealer. I don't think it creates an appetite for candy when mans drink is stopped. Before prohibition man would get lit up on Satur- day night and he, would buy box of candy on the way home to make peace with his wife. Now he doesn't have to fix it up, he goes home sober and without the candy"
 Regular Sales.
 The candy sale does not fiuctuate very much. despite the popular feel- ing to the contrary. A candy dealer who. sells several hundred dollars worth a weeks, says it seldom varies more than two or three dollars. A large portion of the package can dy sale is on Saturday to families who take it home for over Sunday he said
 The demand for loose candy grows less and less every year candy men say. and in a few years to come very little candy will be sold in bulk they | feel.
 | Penny Candy Dangerous.
 | Dr. Frank zwick, in statement made while he was chairman of the board of health, said penny candy stores do more harm than saloons did before prohibition. He referred to the insanitary features of penny candy, its poor quality and its effect on the teeth and stomach. Practically all infection Is carried through the mouth," he said, and only the best and purest quality food should be eaten.
