Anti-Candy Club for Children.

“I wish," said a doctor the other day as he watched a group of school children troop out of a candy store, where they had been spending their pennies, "tluit I could form a society for little folks in which each member would take a pledge to spend all his pocket money for fruit Instead of candy.” It seemed a funny way of putting it, didn’t It? But the physician was very much in earnest, and at that moment It probably occurred to him that, as children like clubs, an ant I-candy chub would be a very good one for thorn. He wanted to do two things—4o stop their eating the unhealthful sweet and to coax them to eat more fruit. An apple or a banana or an orange can usually, one or the other of them, be bought for the price of a little candy, and the fruit Is much better In every way than the sweet.—New York Times.
