Our Peppermint Stick.

The old-style stick candy has red stripes running around it in spiral form. The body of the stick is white. It is slightly flavored with peppermint It is very sweet and wholesome. Good enough for a king! So cheap that the poorest may have it. Six sticks for 5 cents. Enough to last a family of six two days. Break a stick in two in the middle, eat half of it after dinner, or after supper if preferred. That la enough candy for one day. It is good for children. Keep it in the house. Away up in the pantry where the children can’t help themselves. -After dinner is over take it down, break a stick in two and pass it around. The children will like it Immensely. They will like it all the better for not being able to get too much of It. Never let them have all they want of it A half stick is enough, although a whole stick might be allowed occasionally. All the fancy stuff put up In boxes that cost a dollar or more cannot equal the oldfashioned stick candy. Six sticks of it contain more solid comfort and mors nutrition than a wagon load of caramels and painted bonbons. It is the candy of our forefathers. Our grandmothers used to eat it Accept no other. Be sure that you get the proper trademark—red stripes running spirally around the stick. Beware of substitutes. —Medical Talk.
