PICNIC CROWD SMALL
Only About 700 Go On orocers' and
Butchers Outing to Clear Lake -
Rain of the Early Morning Prevent
cd Many From Going.

The smallest crowd to attend SINH
lar event in years left this morning IN
the two special trains for Clear Lake
to spend the day at the sixth annuai
picnic of the Marshalltown Retail
Grocers and Butchers Association.
The rain which fell about 4 o'clock
and the cloudy sky Of the early morn
ing, kept many from going. and 1t IS
not thought the crowd numbered more
than 700.
Only two of the three trains arrarfg-
ed for were required to handle the
crowd. The first. of eight coaches and
baggage car in charge Of Conductor
H. e. Mitchell, left the union station
at 6 o'clock The second, of seven
coaches and baggage car departed at
7 O'Clock, in charge of Conductor Ed.
Hayes. The first train was we'll fill~d,
but the second had not more than 100
or 200 on board. 1t stopped at Albion
and Liscomb. Engineers Charles Bus
sard and Burt Morgan pulled the
trains.

NO MORE LIGHT
Electric Light Committee of City
Council Decides City Cannot Afford
to Make Improvement and Lighting
System Will Remain As II is.

For the time at least there will be
no more city lights. and those dark
corners which patient citizens had pc
titioned, two or three years ago to
have lighted, will still remain dark.
Such was the action Of the city coun-
ell at the adjourned meeting Monday
night, taken on the recommendation of
the lighting committee. The reason
given is the lack of funds to install a
new system. which 1t is believed is the
only method of increasing the number
of lights satisfactorily.
From the bids submitted the COM
mittee found that for a new system
carrying 200 lights the cost would be
about $14,350, which included ma
chinery and lamps, extension of line
for lamps, addition to power house,
work and expense of setting machinery
and repairs to line now being made.
Altho the bidG lg firm offered $4,000
for the machinery now being used this
did not change the committees decis-
ion. The committee in its report pro-
tested against any backward steps be-
ing taken in reinstating OLD and obso-
lete apparatus, lamps or machinery for
the sake Of patching up the present

AN oLD-TIME DISH.
Our Grandmothers Used the Whole of
the Wheat and Hardly Knew What

IuC VvuS0S anu IudGQby INU0W What
| indigestion Was.
In these days Of education to the use
of the whole of the wheat it is inter
esting to turn back the pages of time
and see what our ancestors did. One
Of the most nourishing dishes and one
of the most common, perhaps, cen
| fury or SO ago, was known as "Fru-
menty." 1t is seldom, If ever, seen now,
but Hutchinson, the great English food
authority, states that it was very nour-
! fishing and wholesome. 1t was prepar-
ed by soaking the kernel of wheat in
| water until it swelled up and burst,
and then boiled in milk with the addi-
ton of sugar and salt.
That the whole of the wheat is Of
high value in producing bone, blood,
muscle and nerve force, is proven both
by chemical analysis and actual physi-
illogical experiment. Only few years
ago, fortified by exhaustive research
| and experiment by learned men of
science, aggressive Chicago man
published and circulated among the
farmers of the country book telling
them Of the great strength producing
qualities of wheat when fed to horses
and it's economy as feed" mere
handful being sufficient to sustain a
horse at hard work half a day.
In training quarters for college ath-
letes whole wheat is recognized as Of
great value Mr.. Robert Utterbach,
manager of the Drake University Ath-
letic Association, in speaking of this
said: Il take pleasure in endorsing
Malta-V Vita which we used with first
class results at our football training
table. In nutrition and consistency we
found Malta-Vita to be the best food
for our use"
That is because Malta-Vita is the
whole of the wheat and rich in pro-
teids, which Hutchinson says can alone
build up and repair tissue. Malta
Vita is an. extended and elaborated
process of the old way of making
"Frumenty." The whole wheat grain
is cleaned of it's husk, then boiled in
water, cooked in steam to gelatinize
the starch, then allowed to stand in
coolers (where it is carefully watched
by an experD just long enough to all
low the gelatinized starch cells to
break down, then it is treated with
barley malt instead of sugar as the
barley malt and the gelatinized starch
make "maltose' or malt sugar-highly
nutritious and most easily digested.
Thus Malta-Vita is scientifically pre-
pared to meet the requirements of the
trained athlete and the convalescent
To each it gives strength, blood, bone
and muscle and in others stomach it
is ready to be taken up by the blood
without taxing the digestive ferments.
Malta-Vita is now 10 cents per pack
age. the same big package you used to
buy for Is cents.

Special, to Times-Reputlican.

Keokuk. June 20-Three stra,gnts
from Marshalltown, sending them
from first to fourth is what the In
dams accomplished yesterday, wheh
they took the game by n score OF 10
1 after one of the most brilliant games
of the season had been played
three base hit by Hackett, followed by
the squeeze" play for which the
Keokuks are bound to become famous
won them the game, and a sensational
running. Juggling catch Of long driv-
en- high fly by Andrews saved the
game.
The Marshalltowns were full OF
ginger and put up an excellent exhibit
ton, but the Indians did the same and
came out on top. Bills was on the mr.
ing line for the locals, and did some
good twirling He issued three trans
portations. struck out five men, and
was found for nine hits. all singles.
Disch. in the box for the visitors de-
livered puzzlers to the heavy hitting
Indians. He was found for six hits, in
Guiding Hackett's long drive, forced
three men to lay down the stick at the
plate, and sent two to first on q pass.
An Al quality of fielding on the part
of all fielders added largely to the
SAVIOR of yesterdays juicy contest.
1t was almost in one, two, three
order until the fourth. when Marshall
town made the first tally of the game.
Williams went to first on a single,
stole second and came in on a high
fly sent out between center and right
field. In the sixth Hackett was trans
ported to first, went to second on hit,
was sacrificed to third and stole home
after fly had been squeezed by the
center fielder.
Andrews made his sensational cir
Gus play in the sixth, that cut Mar
shalitown off one score and possibly
two. Shaub, at bat for the visitors
swung on one that went far out be-
tween center and left, and looked as if
it might be good for trip all the way
round Andrews made a long run,
that looked useless to the fans, but he
stopped the ball and after several
juggles held it, and the disappointed
Shaub walked to the bench, while
link who went from first home, was
compelled to reverse his trip.
Then in the seventh that squeeze
play" which is being squeezed for all
it is worth by the Keokuks, was again
worked and the game won. Hackett
made a clean three-bagger out in
right, and squeezed his way in home
on bunt by Annis who also was al
lowed first.
The game wasn't cinched, however,
and Marshalltown succeeded in get
ting two men on bases in the eighth,
and one in the ninth, but it counted no
more than that. The score in detail:
