Our friend, Mr. 'Webster, who wrote a Dictionary and defined with great care the words of language, says: "Candy is a more or less solid preparation made of boil- ; sugar or mollasses to the desired tonsistency and th crystallizing, 'molding or working {ry the desir- . It"is usually ftavored or {eolored and often contains nuts or fruits." This is the definition that still holds in England, where candy from molasses is always called offee," whereas the general word confestion" or "sweet" is used for | that which we in general designate as | Candy. . There is a romance about every bu- . #iness in the world. Touch the ordin- | ary things of life, common articles we use, and eat, and wear; trace them - back through all their processes of * manufacture to their humble beginn- a and there is, in every one of 5 a story as.rich and rare as was ~ @ver woven by the magic mind of the n writer in the greater field of an romance. The Birth of An Idea. New ideas come to us in time of Btress and storm. We get-a--lot of ood 6ut of our troubles. The French invented canned goods because that vention was necessary for the great "armies of Napoleon. The American Civil War developed thé manufactur- Ing of boots and shoes until America : me one of the leading manufactur. ors in the world, Modern warfare has developed the aeroplane, wireless and radio, Flemish exiles brought the manufacture of woollens to England d now English woollens go all over ¢ world and strangest of all, the ufacture of Candy traces its ori- gin back to the old medical men among the early Greeks and Romans, '#0 Candy came into the world because people got sick. x The Father of Candy. Hippocrates was the father of me- dicine. He lived in the fifth century | B.C. In those old days the doctors had "mot yet heard of the gentle art of re- | moving an unruly appendix for a con- * sideration of One Hundred Dollars. : eir remedies for human ills con- sisted of a few doses of bitter herbs, in order to tickle the palate of his patients, old Hippocrates smeared little honey on the edge of the cup ontaining the bitter potion, and later 4his pills with similar sub- thus adding comfort to his s fees. Little did the old man think t he was destined to go down to e, not only as the father of Medi- ine, but as one of the originators of the great art of Candy making. The name of Hippocrates is now almost Jorgateen to the Medical fraternity, ut ses the manufacture of candies increa- year. Last 'year American oduetion exceeded $300,000,000.

England was the pioneer in the manuigcture of candies, and by the middle size. In 1851, at the time of the Ex- hibition in the Crystal Palace, Lon- don, the display of candies astonished the visiting world. France and Ger- many then entered into competition strongly with Great Britain, France leading the day in the manufacture of bon-bons and fancy candies, but Eng- land still maintaining her strong lead in the industry, especialy in choco- laves. Previous to 1845, there was very little machinery used in the produc- tion, but about this time some of the simpler mixtures were introduced. In was discovered, and the older genera- tion of Canadians can remember the conversational lozenges at one time so much in vogue. To-day the art of candy making embodi¢s an amazin amount of delicate and carefully ad- justed machinery, working with almost uncanny accuracy and precision, and turning out a product of surprising ex- cellence and uniformity. Candy, and I use the term not in its neral sense, is healthful. It is nour- ishing. It has a high fuel value. You realize that it contains sugar, and su- gar is a heat forming food. This in part accounts for the large sale of candies in all Northern climates. The cheaper, or lower ades of candy should not be handled, especially as candy is the great treat. of all child- ren, Chocolates. From the older varieties of candy has sprung up the modern chocolate- coated confection so much in demand which we always designate as "Cho- colates." Chocolate comes from the Cacao tree. Do not confuse this with the Coca pum from which we get Co- coanut. They are two entirely separate and distinct things. The word "cocoa" is a corruption of "Cacao," which is the correct name of the tree from which, what we call cocoa, is taken; the correct spelling is preserved in the German, French, and Spanish langu- ages. The cocoanut palm (Cocos nuci- fera) gives us, cocoanuts, while the tree Theobroma cacao gives us cocoa, This latter is a native of South Ame- rica, but it has been planted also very extensively in all parts of the tropics. The Mexicans call it chocolate, which is one of the names we use. The cacao tree is an evergreen, and bears fruit and flowers all the year around. The usual times for gathering the fruit are June and December, The sceds in the fruit possess the proper- ties which we recognize in cocoa an chocolate as a valuable article of food. A great deal of it is now mused for coating candies, hence the modern cho- colates now sold everywhere. down the river but they mneaded clothes. Little babies were cold. Six People had died.
