Thinking the child insufficiently nourished, he takes it from the arms of the little sister and brings it to the Nathan Straus Pasteurized Milk Department. In the meantime the little girl runs home and tells her mother of this. The mother rushes from her miserable rooms, where her husband is sick in bed and where the other little children are making flowers, and, going to the milk station, demands her child. The nurses show the benefit of the sanitary feeding and how much the child is improved. Matty, however, is not satisfied with this, and goes to the millionaire owner of the tenement house and asks him to do something for the poor family. The man ridicules him as an officious child. Undaunted, Matty goes to the wife of the owner, who sends the poor family to the country where the husband recuperates and then gets him a good job. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
