Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 September 1900 — Candy. [ARTICLE]

Candy.

The weight of opinion is in favor of a moderate amount of good, pure candy eaten by children with or soon after their food, and that it is not only not in the least detrimental, but is positively beneficial. It is the cheap sweets manufactured out of injurious compounds that have drawn upon the practice the odium of medical men. Pure sweets contribute valuable force to the human system, and need not be feared. A Chicago physician claims that one can scarcely eat too much pure chocolate. Now, if this authority would only go a little further and tell us how we are to know the pure from the impure, a great burden would be lifted from many mothers, who are anxious to do right and yet are equally anxious to contrib-, ute to their children’s happiness.—Philadelphia Record.
