SWEETS are the necessities of childhood and youth, hence Providence has wisely Implanted in the young an almost insatiable desire for sugar. Without this element largely mingled with its food, the healthiest born infant would die in a month. In vain would it nestle ©n its mother's bosom, in vain its exposure to the warming sunshine, and in vain the softest blankets and warmest furs to encase its body, for the warmth which sustains human life comes from within, mutt be generated by the internal combustion of carbonaceous food as found in all sweets and fat. It is the most inveterate of all prejudices in civilized life that sweets hurt children ; on the contrary, they are a prime necessity, and to deprive them of their candies, if pure, is barbarism. — W.
