WASHINGTON BREAK
 NETS SI,000 HAUL
Thieves Take % Pais d SboS
 From PerTNh's Store
LEAVE BOXES IN PILE
Shirts, Suits, and Socks Among stolen ArttCles-Prowlers Unhearti in House Ten Feet Away-State Police Checking Fingerprints.

Thieves broke into the store of James Perretta in kensington some time last night and escaped with nearly $1.000 worth of shoes. clothes and stockings. Entrance was gain. ed by a window in the rear of the store, and as far as could be learned th6re was no one who had heard the robbers make their entrance. The window which they entered is les, than ten feet from the nearest house but residents say that there was nc noise to attract their attention.
 James Perretta stated that he had closed he store last night at about g o'clock and had no left until about an hour later. As near as can be decided. the entrance was gained some time after midnight, as a crowd Of men were at the lunch cart near by until that hour and they noticed nothing out of the way.
 The only clues to the robbers are flngerprints which were left on the sill of the window and which were photographed by state police this morning.
 The thieves took about 90 pairs of shoes and many suits of clothes, Shirts and stockings were also added to their collection. All shoes were taken from the boxes and the boxes were left in scrambled pile behind the counter of the store. This shows that the burglars must have spent considerable time in the store.
 Mir. Perretta discovered the break when he opened his store this morn- ing. State police were notified and are working on the case.
 This is the second robbery in henslngton since Saturday night. It IS thought possible that the men who held up the Dennis Haggertys lunch cart. less than 500 feet away, also broke into the store last night. but there is no proof as yet that the same group were responsible.
 This store has been broken into several times in the past, mostly by boys who have been captured, but this is the first time that 50 large a robbery has been effected in the town.

There are many people who feel and
say that there is too much fuss made
over food nowadays, that they eat ac-
cording to their appetite and get along
all right Their argument Is generally
based on the @act that our forefathers
knew nothing SAout the vitamins, IRON
foods and other nutritional facts that
are SO discussed today, and yet they
lived fairly we'll. This is Of course true,
but it is also true that foods were sim
pier in those days and that the diet
was made up of whole grain cereals
with milk, butter, a few vegetables and
a moderate amount of meat. Modern
methods of food preparation have pro-
duced highly refined foods which do not
have the same nutritional value as the
coarser ones.
Within certain limits people can trust
their appetites so far as getting an ade-
uuate amount of food is concerned. But
whether that amount Is Of the right
kind and whether it supplies the nee
essary elements to meet body require
ments is another question entirely. The
chances are that unless the individual
knows something about nutrition that 1t
won't.
This inherited guide, If we may call
our appetite such, keeps the majority
of people from getting too far astray OIL
the question of food. We have inherited
certain valuable customs in the manner
of eating, the kinds of food that are
best suited to use as a race and the
number Of meals we eat day. But the
very variety of our present-day food
supply is apt to cause perversions of
taste and appetite that make it nearly
impossible to trust this same appetite
to select well rounded, balanced diet
for us Very often those vague, I'M
defined states Of i'll health-nervousness
irritability or listlessneSs-can be traced
to the fact that we are depending too
much on our appetite as a guide and
paying too little attention to our nutri-
tional requirements.
Generally speaking, II we remember
that the diet best suited to the average
individual should include a generous
amount Of milk, butter fat, vegetables
and fruit, and moderate amount of
protein in the form of meat, eggs and
cheese. and some grain cereals, we can
be sure of training our appetites to be
