Dairy and Food Commissioner Foustannounced the undertaking by the Fond Bureau of a highly important investigation. The subject of this undertaking is the cheaper candies, the so-called "penny goods" so largely con sumed by tho little folks and sold at tho little shops and near tho school houses. There . has been a good deal of talk about these products, some alleging even that certain of tho chocolates owe their color not to the delici ous paste from the cocoa bean, but to paint stuffs or ochre; that some of the fudges contain arsen ic in considerable amounts, that tho bright hues that delight the eyes and fix the fancy of our lit tle tots are not of wholesome veg etable kiuds, but are undersira bio dyes made from coal tar with out due care as to their freedom from poisonous or unwholesome by-products, and that talc or soapstonn is sometime used to give weight, in place ot whole some food materials. Parents are rightly concerned that their loved ones, too young to protect themselves and readily beguiled by deceptive appear ances, shall, on the one hand, not bo deprived of tin little luxuries that at onco served to gladden their childhood days and to afford valuable nourishment to their active little bodies, and, on the other, that they shall not be ex posed to injury in the house of their supposed friend, the candy man. It is linewise important that, if these vague charges are not well founded, that the interests of the confectionery trade, made up in the maia of men of high character who have for years or ganized to keep their business free from abuses of the kind here mentioned, shall be freed from the shadow of such unpleasant suspicions as those above alluded to. For these reasons, the Com missioner has arranged for a searching study of the cheap candies sold in Pennsylvania. For this purpose, about three hundred samples havo been col lected. In the purchase of these samples, full care was taken to avoid duplication, so that the number of brands represented corresponds closely to the num ber of samples purchased.. The nature of the goods bought is suggested by some of the brand names, such as "rain bow suck ers, almond tops, revolvers, hum mer eggs, cigars, happy bunnies, strawberry plates, candy bols ters, candy sweet potatoes, candy fish, ice cream cups, red jumbos, lightning rods, tootsie rolls, flag suckers, lime barrels, ball play er caramels, log cabin kisses." These samples have been de livered to Dr. Chas. II. La Wall, of Philadelphia, Chemist to the Bureau, for complete analysis. When the work is finished the results will be published in bul letin form in order that the pub lic may have full information about the nature of these curious ly named sweets. It need scarce ly be added that, if the findings show tho existence of the bad practices above mentioned, the guilty will be vigorously prose cuted; but if they fail to appear upon this extensive examination, it is hoped that parents' fears may be allayed, the caildren's pleasure be no longer disturbed, and confectionors' interests freed from unjust annoyance. Women School Directors in This State. It is said that women in some portions of Pennsylvania are sen ously considering taking an ac tive part in the election of school directors and endeavoring to se cure representation on tho school boards in view of the providing by the school coda for the elec tion .of 9 directors at large In .cities of the third classes. These nine directors are not elected from any particular ward, but are all on one general ticket, and every voter in the city votes for nine if ho chooses. It is this that has encouraged the woman taxpayer to believe that on a tick et at large she might, have a chance of success in running for school director. In some cities tho newspapers are already dis cussing the claims of certain prominent women as candidates tor school director. Hon. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has been elected Unit3d States Senator. s CLEAR RIDUR. J. W.
