Show Candy Relieves Fatigue. The value of candy is recognized by military authorities. The British soldiers sol-diers in France are reported as consuming con-suming "prodigious quantities of sweets.'" A captain at the front with the British army reports that the canteen can-teen has "five times the demand for sweets that was expected, and one-fifth one-fifth the demand for beer." The Australians Aus-tralians encamped In Egypt have eaten all the chocolate to be had in Cairo. Scientists contend the sugar has much food value and is a good substitute sub-stitute for alcohol: Chocolate, for example, ex-ample, is harmlessly stimulating. Soldiers Sol-diers have discovered what scientists knew before, that sugar will relieve fatigue quickly and give a sense of strength that is real without the subsequent sub-sequent depression experienced by those who use spirits. Sugar and candles can-dles are found to be useful not only to the physically tired, but to" those who suffer mental exhaustion. Westminster West-minster Gazette. |
