THIEF HAD SWEET TOOTH. :
On Breaking Into Store Heads Straight

better serve the owner if it were at this

the police have failed to nail the candy
thief, but while his operations continue
there is hope.
The f. w Woolworth Co. is the latest
concern to feel the effects of the thiefs
abnormal craving for chocolates. The
"five-and ten" received visit from the
burglar sometime early Saturday morn
ing and while the police We're throwing
out their dragnet the press was request
ed not to feature the reappearance in our
midst of the mysterious candy Raffles.
To-day it was said that progress had
been made, and some of the facts in the
case were given out.
The break was made through a win
dow on the Keith avenue side of the
block Just as the burglar
in committing two chocolate burglaries
in the Direct Importing store recently,
passed over more valuable merchandise
to get at the candy counter, so the Wool
worth thief ignored fish hooks, hand
painted china, sealing wax and soap in
his haste TO tap the company's choco-
ate reserve. Seven or eight pounds of
