With GranuIated Sugar Is Cause
of 90 p. c. of Malnutrition,
Federation Head Says
SUBSTITUTES ARE NAMED

Children of the nation are suffering
from diet of white -four and granu-
lated sugar, and more than 30 per cent
OF tooth trouble and malnutrition in
school children can be traced to these
two sources alone. says r. II. Hartman.
managing director of the Child Fedora
tiOn.
Today he explained the arrangements
made by the federation and the Divi-
sion Of Child Hygiene for nutrition work
among children.
White -four and granulatcd sugar,
Mr.. Hartman said. are both deficient in
necessary minerals needed for the grow
ing child Brown sugar and whole
wheat bread make excellent substitutes
and are encouraged by the workers
among children.
In explaining the work Of the Child
Federation Mr.. Hartman said the grent-
est difficulty the nurses had was tho in
PRODUCTION of milk TO the foreign born.
In the Fourth Ward. where the nurses
are having excellent results. whO'C
families. lately arrived. absolutely re-
fuse to drink milk.
The Child Federation has completed
arrangements for giving instruction and
training in nutrition work to nurses of
the Division Of Child Hygiene. the
school nurses and the nurses Of the
Visiting Nurse Society. There will BE-
about two hundred nurses in the COM
blned group.
The work will have a common ground
in principles and practices of modern
nutrition. The groups will be handled
separately, however. for convenience of
the nurses. for establishing closer con
tact between the instructor and the
nurses. and for differentiation according
to function.
The varying functions lie in the fact
that the Division of Child Hygiene deals
mainly with the prenatal period and
infancy. the school nurses with chill
dren of school age. and the Visiting
Nurse Society with all ages. The com
bined group will therefore lay "A base

FAKE PEDDLER AIDS
ROBBERY OF HOME
Detains Servants at Rear OF
Lincoln Drive House While
Companion Enters
$500 IN JEWELRY IS TAKEN

Jewelry valued Mt more than NJW
was stolen from the home of Mrs
Thomas B. Farley. 6652 Lincoln drive
late yesterday afternoon by thief who
worked in conjunction with a fake
peddler.
Two men were seen speeding dowr
Lincoln drive at a record breaking rate
Of speed shortly after the robbery was
discovered and are believed to be the
thieves.
Just before dinner last evening O
peddler knocked on the rear door OF the
Farley home and told the maid he had
some bargain hosiery and handkerchief
for sale. He gave long, sad story
, about being in need of money.
Summons Hired Man
He also summoned the hired man al
the house and asked him to look over
the stock. Although purchases were
made quickly. the redGler engaged his
two customers in lengthy converse
tion. He repeated his need of money
and told of new stocks which he would
bring around later.
While he was talking with the
servants in the rear his companion en- :
tered the front of the house. Mrs.
Farley was sleeping in front room.
She had just removed several rings. a
bracelet and two or three icwcled pins.
The thief took them all together, with
a small jewel box. and quietly made
his escape.
A patrolman in the neghborhood saw
an, automobile runabout chugging a
few feet from the Farley home, and it
is believed that this was used by the
men to make getaway.
The peddler, who in the meantime
was still talking with the servants,
timed his conversation to cover the ac-
tion of his companion. When he left
the maid noticed that he increased his
pace considerably after he had gone O
short distance.
"A j. Thief Acted Quickly
'My jewclry was stolen in a very few
minutes after I had removed it to
dress said. Mrs. Farley this morning.
in discussing the theft. at was rather
strange that the pcddcr should come
at such time and his desire to hold
Il lengthy conversation with the scrv-

ut also seems strange that the thief
knew exactly where to go. He evil

and then went straight to my dressing
room. He took nothing but the iewelry,
and worked very neatly. Nothing in
the room was disturbed. l did not know
that a robber had been in the house

the dressing table"
Jcwelry valued at 5000 was stolen
from the home of DR.. V. J. Fries, 463S
Walnut street, last night. In this case
entrance was also gained by the front
door. The thief obtained several stick
pins, pair of pearl earrings and n
valuable black bag. He used the bag
to carry away the loot. Members OF
the family were out on visit in the
neighborhood and 1t is believed that the
robber had been watching the house.
