DIETS DEFICIENT
 DOCTOR DECLARES
M Enough lindlls Consumed
 Baltimore Physician Says

Baltimore, Md, Nov. RNDis- closing facts which he believes may account for much that is wrong with the world. Dr. George Walker, Balti- more physician and research work CT. today laid before the American Dietic Association the initial results of his study of the eating habits of 75O families, ranging from the very poor to the very rich.
 His investigatoin, growing out of an interest in the welfare of or phans, the insane and other inmates of public institutions in Maryland and elsewhere. he said has brought 10 light a number of significant de- ficiencies in the every day diets Of people in general
 Too Little Minerals
 Practically all of those he has studied. he said. whether they aver age only six certs a day for each individual. or $l.95, consume too little Of the essential minerals, too much Of the vegetable and too little of the animal proteins. less than half their requirements in the way of non-dsestible fibrous or ceilulose material, and probably only 20 per cent as much as they need of raw foods containing the very important, but little understood vitamin c.
 The absence of that vitamin. which Is virtually destroyed by cook ing in all vegetables except tomatoes and potatoes and is reduced in them, is known to cause scurvy.
New Britain herald., 1928-11-02

While this disease of the capillary blood vessels. smaller arteries and veins. is rare in its recognized form except among isolated sailors and soldiers and explorers, Dr. Walker said he believed that many of the disorders which appear in the gums. te teeth. the upper part of the intes- tinal tract and the bones could be traced to the widespread deficiency of the same dietary element.
 Improper FOOI
 Among children in public institu- tions, he told the dieticianS. he found that. while they get enough of the carbohydrates, chiefly white bread and potatoes. not be hungry. none he had been able to investi- gate has received the variety and kinds of food necessary for normal growth and future health. They could be fed properly. he estimated. on 33.2S cents day at wholesale prices.
 For the average growing child. living at home, he calculated. a minimum expenditure of 57.31 cents a day at retail prices. is necessary. and for their parents and grown up brothers and sisters. 44.5S cents. The difference is largely accounted for Dy the fact that the child needs at least a quart of milk. rich in animal prot eins, calcium and phos- phorus. every day. while pint will do for the adults.
 AnalyGs Food
 Dr. Walker based his conclusions on analysis of the food actually " nsumed during weekly or longer periods by white and Negro families in the light of the most advanced dietary knowledge. Of 300 family food accounts representing a daily individual expenditure around 45 cents. all showed deficiences of one kind or another, he said. which could easily be corrected without adding to the cost. State agencies capable of giving such advice, he suggested, would fill an important public need.
New Britain herald., 1928-11-02

The general deficiency in fiber consumption. contribution to num- Der of human ailments. he thought, was due to the tendency to paas up the coarse food, raw and cooked. in favor of the more attractive, highly refined products from which most if not all of the 'roughage" has been removed. The lack of the blood building element of iron in ls per cent of tho food accounts analysed. however, appeared to be more close ly associated with economic consid- erations, as almost any generous diet will contain a sufficiency of this mineral.
 Shortages Of the other two most necessary minerals, calcium. or lime. and phosphorus, were even more pronounced. In 64 per cent Of all the diets. accounting among other things he said. for the prevalence of rickets. the proportion of calcium containing vegetables and milk was below normal, while 62 per cent were deficient in phosphorus. essen- tial 10 the growth and health of the nerves and bones. which also is chiefly obtainable from milk.
 The milk consumption also fig ured in the unbalanced distribution of animal and vegetable proteins. 60 per cent of which Dr. Walktr said should come rom foods of animal origin becar of the scarcity in vegetables oi two of the five very complex. indispensable amino acids which make ID these elements of diet.
 Shaep Contrast
 As between the upper and lower economic levels represented in his investigation. he found a sharp con- trast in the consumption of carbo- hydrates and fats. Below the 6O- cent level. the consumption of white bread and potatoes became progress sively excessive and that of bacon. butter and lard progressively defi- cicnt, while above 1t the opposite was true. He was inclined to blame the latter condition on the fashion

UNION CITY FIRE LOSS
 WILL REACH $l50,OO0
Chief Complains Low Water Pressure Ham,
 pered Men

Waterbury. Jan. 23 R|-Union City's losses in the disastrous fire that swept the Linskey Block early Sunday morning, destroying dozen stores and driving 13 families from their homes, were gradually mount ing today. Related reports from a few storekeepers and from the sev- eral families that lost furniture, clothing, money and valuables in the fire added slowly to the total, and the post office loss, which was con- paratively small, brought the total close to the $15O,oOO mark.
 Indications were that, if anything, the figure would exceed that amount.
 Meanwhile Chef Timothy J. Fitzgerald complained to the Nau- gatuck fire commissioners of the low water pressure that had hampered the firemen in their efforts to ex- tinguish the fire, and forced him to resort to the task merely of saving other nearby buildings and allowing those on the Linskey block to burn to the ground.
 Red Cross aid and tn. hospitality of neighbors and friends served to care for the refugee families today. and everything possible was being done to assist the various families that had lost all in the disaster.

GIRL FAKES SUICIDE TO BRIGHTEN SISTER
Pretends She Has Taken Poison and Falls
 to Floor

What is said to have been pre- night resulted in admittance of Miss Arlene Wood, aged 19, of 637 West Main street, to New Britain General hospital. where it was found that she had not taken poison despite the finding of an empty iodine bottle in the bathroom at her home. Miss Wood was at the hospital over the weekend and had not been dis charged today. It was said she was hysterical after she reached the hospital but her condition is not re- garded as serious.
 The police were called about 10:20 o'clock. and Officers c. w. Hellberg. Maurice Flynn and Michael Brophy responded, as did Sergeant J. c. Stadler. They learned that the young woman's sister, with whom she makes her home. spoke to her about the hours she was keeping, and the young woman resented 1t. She went into the bathroom and little later her sister heard g. thump as though someone had fallen to the floor. Go ing in, she found the young woman apparently unconscious.
 As the hospital no traces of iodine or other poison were found in the stomach and there were no burns about the lips. indicating that the attempted suicide was pretense. Miss Wood is a clerk in a Maip street store.
