tUtUttttTIIE TRUTH ABOUT CANDY itttttttt
There's a Certain Amount
of Candy Coming to You
IF YOU WISH TO FOREOO TAKING IT,
THEN SEND IT TO YOUR SOLDIER.
The P-Mxt 'Administration fin, Is it , (iti set nsi,le n certain amount
of miijar for candy maliiiiK, and this uui'Muit (now about i per cent') is
boinjf tJtveo. to the candy maker
When you see candy offered for m!e, you know that it is made
with ausar which the I'ood AdniitiKrul i.iii lias m't aside for that
purpose.
Part of that candy Is yours your system will find it pood food.
Hut if you wish to forego it, you can slum- your patriotism hv
sending it to seme soldier boy.
Ask any soldier why he eats candy so eagerly and he will tell
you that it is because candy U of tremendous food value. (A pound
ot! cattily is much more nouri.shihtf than a pound of beefsteak.)
Purine violent exercise and heavy work m-ientUts tell iih that the
aystein draw very heavily on it natural heat or "body fuel." Thi
liody fuel U ciimpoaed of cni'boh vdiaiiet. Those carbohydrate are mip
lied the system largely through thi mmar which is eaten, Hume peo

theirs made up into candy and mixed with fruits and nuts and other
injjredienta tard in candy limiting It in much a matter of individual
taste.
Hrigadier (ieneml 1,. V. Waller of he raited Slate Marine, re-
l omit if to, the lood value of chocolate, my:
"I never went into a campaign without chocolate. I alwav have
a fw rakes of it in my kit when gi into service. Men fiht like
the devil on chocolate. It.is partimdarly Rood in hot weather, reason
ed soldiers take it on the march with them."
(t lioeo'ate. for instanre, ia mado up mainly of cocoa, iagsr and,
sometime, milk.)
Soldiers in all artnie are eatinjr more and more, candy. The Brit
ish army officers say that"their men have eateu five times the eandv
expected.
Candy, which went into th; war considered, a luxury by many
jieoide, has now firmly established itself as a Rreut food for niea who
work hard.
Kvery pound of candy represents tremeudons food value, needed
by aomeone. It will supply YOU with lnidily fuelif you don't re
quire it, send your share to some oldier. The heavier on'e' work, the
more the system needs the hifh percentage of eirbohydrates eOlii

Ia normal time the eaady industry uses only 8
per cent of the auar uae.d per capita In thif

A Serviceable Piano,
A prominent musician tells some
funny yarns.
Oh relates to his experience In find
ing suitable Instruments when on a
tour.
On one occasion nt a small place
where, he was due to nppear he In
quired where he could hire a piano,
and found thnt the only one nvnllnhle
was tin ancient looking Instrument In
a small shop.
lie asked If he could borrow It for
his performance.
"You could not play' on It, lenst
wttys, not as It Is," replied the own
er, "for It's full of books. .Tint," he
bawled, "where's the Inside of this
piano?"
And Jim's voice from upstairs, .re
plied: "Ain't It out In the gnrden?"
Etiquette In Mexico.
Travelers through Mexico report
ninny peculiar customs which reflect
the temperament of 4he people. Some
of these are founded upon supersti
tions hundreds of ytjurs old while oth
ers date from more recent days. There
Is a prevailing belief In the couutry
that there Is bad luck In a sequence
of threes and wherever possible the
combination of three Is avoided. This
Is shown very often to persons strange
to the land In (he lighting of a cig
arette. In the United States one often sees
three men light their pill from one
match. It would be a gross Insult
In Mexico to offer n man a light from
a mutch that had nlrendy started two
cigarettes going. Instead one must
blow out the match and give him
light from the Ignited coffin nail.
Frogs That Have Hair.
"Finer than frog hair" litis long been
a slang method of expressing the su
perlative degree. Doubtless no one
ever gave It a thought whether frogs
have hair or not. - Probably no one
ever renllzed .they did until Trof. G.
A. Boulenger discovered In the Ger
mnn Congo frogs thnt had growing
upon rhelr bodies either hair or a very
good Imitation of It. It has since de
veloped that anatomically It la not
hair, In the sense In which that term
npplles to mammals. Our own hair Is
akin to finger nails; It Is a horny
growth, whereas the "hair" on the
African frogs Is an abnormal devel
opment of the tubercles that appear
on the skin of the ordinary frog. The
ordinary person, however, who places
appearance above origin, will doubtless
call It "hair."
