HERE IS A BOY WHO
NEVER TASTED CANDY
THE LITTLE FELLOW WITH
THIS lNiQtE RECORD - DIR.
WiLEl'S son.


Washington. Jan. l3.-There is Il
little boy in Washington, the son
OF one of the most We'll known men
in the United States who has neY-
err tasted candy, ice cream or cake.
When he goes to parties, like all
other little boys and girls he takes
several graham crackers and when
his companions eat candy. and
cakes and ice cream, he cats crack
ers. And this little boy goes to
scores and scores of parties. He has
never been i'll and is strong and
healthy with hard muscles ac-
cording to his father.
This little fellow with this unique
record is the two and half year old
son Of Dr. Harvey ". Wiley, former
chief chemist OF the L. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
And besides, Master Wiley doesn I
want any of those delicacies. Last
May the Northern Pacific railway
sent him an S-pound fruit cake
with two gold plated candles on il, y
said Dr. Wiley. Il cut a small
piece and asked him if he wanted
some.

good for your boy.
DIR. Wiley said he was strongly
opposed to feeding children sweets,
such as candy, ice cream and cake.
ut makes children fat and it S
sin to begin to be fat in baby
hood. We get that way soon
enough" added this big stout man,
When the boy attended his first
party, Dr. Wiley said he went along
and when the other children had
lunch he told his boy that sweets
4 tere not good for him and that he
should not eat them. The lad
agreed, said DR.. Wiley, and ate
RrAham crackers instead.
He eats his mush without sus-

Ur Wiley, land you couldn't make
