When mother tells the children they
can't have any candy but must be con-
tent with bread and butter or a dish
OF very sober, sedate rice pudding, she
means well; she is doing as she was
done by when she was a little girl. Her
mother, and the old family doctor, both
thought sugar and sweets the worst
things in the world for little folks.
Why? oh, just beause the little folk
naturally craved sweet things. You
know it was formerly the rule to deny
people whatever they most desired;
for instance. the fever patient was not
permitted to drink cold water.
But Mother Was Wrong.
In the old days there was more or
LES belief that sugar actually caused
worms" How life developed from an
inanimate substance was never ex-
planned, but the grannies believed it
happened. They didn't know that
where there are worms there must
have been eggs and that the eggs were
taken into the body with other foou
than sugar.
The most readily digestible element
of baby's natural diet is sugar OF
the II per cent OF solid GOOD in human
milks. 6 per cent is sugar.
Both experimentally and practically
it has been shown that sugar prevents
fatigue. 1t is quickly absorbed and
immediately available is working en-
ergy for the muscles. II there is such
thing as a heart food, sugar is the
thing. a pure brand of candy reaches
the heart both figuratively and physio-
logically speaking. We often prescribe
sugar for patients with exhausted
heart muscle.
Children need and should have a
generous sugar ration. 1t keeps them
in good physical condition. They can
use 1t in their business of growing and
playing. Pure candy. not chemical

Girl Poses as Daughter Of DAY.
export Couple and Buys
in Chicago Store.

Attempting to steal over n hundred
dollars worth of goods from Chicago
department store by posing as the
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. W. Mo
Candless. of Davenport, was frustrated
last week during the visit of Mr.. and
Mrs. McCandless to Chicago.
Mrs McCandless had made a num-
Der OF purchases at a department store
az which she had a charge account.
She had had an account there for
many years and when she gave her
name and address to the clerk she
noticed a young girl intently listening.
The girl. about IS years old, i'm
mediately began purchasing articles
in various departments, giving the
name of Miss Ruth McCandless, daugh-
ted of Mrs. A. w. McCandless OF Park
Place. Davenport. Iowa. Among her
purchases were a handsome coat and
a S25 hat. Having given the impress
sion that she was from out OF town,
she was taking her purchases with her.
She bought $50 hat and put It on and
carried the s25 hat in a box. having in
structed the clerk TO send her old hat
to her Davenport address.
When the credit slips came piling in
the suspicious of the credit depar-
ment were aroused, and George L.
McCandless of Chicago. son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. McCandless, was asked If he had
a sister Ruth.
He replied that he had no sister
Ruth and was then requested to step
over 10 the store and confront the
girl. She was purchasing a pair of
shoes at the time and the clerk as a
ruse told her he noticed a slight defect
in them and asked her to return in the
afternoon. A store detective was put |
on the girls trail and nabbed her just !
rs she was about to leave. AS he was |
ibout to take her into his office she /
broke away and dashed for a spiral |
stairway. The detective caught her. |
She was taken before George Nc
'andless and broke down and confess
d to being an imposter Her pur-
'hases had amounted to 1857.
