SCURVY SPREADS
AMONG INFANTS
IS THE REPORT

Asked about scurvy, among babies,
and the reports of its temperance
in some parts of the country, DIR. j.
H. M. Knox, Jr., Chief of the Bureau
of Child Hygiene of the State Depart
ment of Health, said, Improper feed
ing, particularly the failure to include
certain fruit juices, as a necessary
part of the baby's regular diet, is
felt to be responsible for the recur-
renee of this disease, which had be-
come so rare that it was believed to
have been conquered. The reports
that have come to the State Depart
ment of Health from the sections in
which it has been discovered seem to
indicate that the disease has developed
in families that had to budget their ex
penses very carefully, and that
thought they could not afford to buy
the necessary fruits and vegetables
because they regarded them as luxur-
ies-not necessities.
"Scurvy," DIR. Knox continued, "is
not catching. 1t is not a germ di-
sease. 1t is what is known as de-
ficiency' disease. That is, it is due
to the lack of certain necessary ele-
ments in the diet. Orange juice and
fresh or canned tomato juice are par
ticularly rich in these elements. I'm
less advised by the family doctor
every baby should be given a certain
amount of either orange or tomato
juice-or the juice of some other fruit
or vegetable known to possess the
same qualities-every day. II oranges
are in season, a teaspoonful of orange
juice should be added twice a day to

the regular feelings. This can be in.
creased at the end of a week or so to
two teaspoonfuls twice a day. The
amount of orange juice can gradually
be increased to a tablespoonful twice
a day.
eff orange juice is not available,
tomato juice, fresh or canned, care
fully strained to remove any seeds, can
be substituted for it, using twice the
quantity of tomato juice, as of orange
juice. Two teaspoonfuls of the strain
ed tomato juice can be added twice
day to the regular feelings when
the baby is month old. The amount
can gradually be increased after sew
eral months to two tablespoonful
twice a day.
"Babies who are nursed by their
mothers usually have certain amount
of natural protection against scurvy.
Bottle-fed babies lack this protection.
Those who depend upon boiled, pas
teurized, dried, or evaporated milk
must have a certain amount of fruit
juice every day, as preventative
against scurvy. Even when money
for food supplies has to be expended
with the utmost care, due allowance
should be made for the purchase of
these additions to the baby's diet. The
fruit or vegetable juice is an absolute
necessity-not a luxury.
Fruits and vegetables are not only
a protection against scurvy, but they
contain other elements that are nee
essary for growth and development.
BY the time the baby is six months
old vegetable broth can usually be
substituted for one of the regular milk
feelings. The vegetables should be
boiled slowly and then strained. A
soup bone or chopped meat may be
added if desired. Finely chopped liver
or kidney may be substituted for 9th
er forms of meat in the broth. Care
should be taken to skim off the fat.
"For older infants, a little of the
vegetable pulp bay be pressed thru
sieve and one or more teaspoonfuls
of the pulp may be added to the broth.
A little later carefully cooked vege-
tables, such as spinach, carrots, string
bans, peas, extraordinarily
cooked and then pressed through a
sieve, can be used instead of the broth.
Some green vegetables and some fresh
or cooked fruits should be given every
day to all young children. These are
necessities for the older children, also

 While investigation temporarily was concentrated in Pawtucket, R. l., on, the theory the spectacular robbery may have been perpetrated by the Fischer gang which has been operating in the Providence area, authorities clung to the belief the bandits were New York gangs. ters.
 Possibility that woman was among the bandit gang developed after truck driver, one of two witnesses to the holdup, told police he saw a woman riding with two men in a car trailing the mail truck. It was believed she might have been the "Fsinger-woman" and that she tipped off the bandits to the large amount of payroll cash consigned from the federai reserve bank in Boston to the B. M. C..
