GROCER: HERE'S A GOOD SIGN TO POST IN YOUR STORE. (But Not Unless You Live Up to It.) Candy is a good money-maker in many grocery stores. But no grocer would knowingly help send his customers' children to the doctor, so the Daily Times suggests this sign. It's cheaper to use glucose than sugar In candy, for It is manynimes sweeter and costs far less. IJUT glucose is practically dead, weight in the stomach, while sugar digests easily and Is a fine food for th« body. Delicate flavors and pretty colors in candy are an abomination when produced by drugs artificially. I,oU of candy Is flavored and colored that way. But you might better punch a child In the stomach with your fist than hand it candy like that. l^encSiWwlenCogw m ** OF THE PEOPLE** Becausb: W/> arc responsible for the welfare of thirty thou- fM RaT -.
