Foods for Growing Children
Ma1ta-Vita is the perfect whole
wheat food. rich in every nutritive
element demanded by the body of the
child and just as healthful and
strengthening for the child's parents
and older sisters and brothers. Being

whole of the best white wheat and
little salt, mixed with pure barley

body with all those food elements which
make bone, blood. muscle and brain
and bring perfect health.
The malt extract is added after the
wheat has been thoroughly cooked and
steamed and converts the starch of the
wheat into maltese. or malt sugar.
which Is highly nutritious and easily
assimilated even by very weak stom-
achs. Physicians recommend maltese
for its strengthening qualities and
Malta-vita is rich in It. After being

POULTRY SHOW.
Much Interest Being Shown In the
Big Coming Event.


A meeting of rne Central Minnesota
Poultry association will be held Satur-
day afternoon at two o'clock in the
council chamber, and all of the members
who can do so are requested to attend
The annual poultry show Jan. 10 to
25 will be held in Hodson & Davy's dou-
bic store, in the Meagher building, which
is a central location. The prospects are
that there will be big show, to judge
from the inquiries from abroad and the
interest shown locally. There are over
a hundred members of the association
who have voluntarily joined in Manlla-
to. Whereas ten years ago there were
but two or three breeders here, and they
were novices, there are now twenty
breeders tributary to Mankato, and il
is estimated that the value of poultry
and eggs shipped from Mankato by these
people foots up to $4,000.
Among the exhibits at the coming
show will be collection of pheasants
from Highland park, by H. Parry and
other pet stock. Everybody should pre-.
pare to attend this show, for it will be
well worth seeing.

most certain method is Allcock's Plas-

sal remedy for pain. They never fail
they act promptly, they are clean and
cheap. You can go right ahead with
your work while the healing process

Society is said to be watching to see
what Mrs. Nicholas Longworth will do in
the way of making about 800 calls upon
her husbands contemporaries in con-
gress. whom it is her duty to visit in
December. There is a rumor that Mrs
Longworth will establish precedent by
declaring that no woman in Washington
except the presidents wife can outrank
the presidents daughter and that she
will not make the calls etiquette re-
ouires. In the meantime the attitude
which she will assume will be known de

Free Press Man Enjoyed
EidsteddfOd in East
|ENRAPTURED BY THE MUSIC
Aged Couple Who Sang at Utica
Fifty Years Ago, On the Pro.
gram This Year.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
A representative of the Free Press had
the pleasure of being present at the
Welsh eisteddfod, which was held at
Utica, n. V, under the auspicies of the
Cymrodorion society the evening of Dec.
3lst and all day new Years.
The eisteddfod is purely Welsh
name and organization, its program con-
sists of competition in song prose rend-
ering and essays and poetry writing, al
SO in oil painting and fancy needle
work
The eisteddfod that is held at Utica
annually celebrated its forty eighth
gathering on New Years day this year,
and was the greatest success in its his
tory. The most interesting competition
of the fourth meeting was the chorus
"Homeward Bound" was entered by
choirs from Granville, VT; Edwards
dale, Penn, Wilkesbarre and Scranton,
in which competition the 'Gwynt" choir
of Edwordsdale was the victors. In this
competition were also two choirs of
Utica. 1t was. long looked for pleasure
and as the oldest recollection of those
who have attended ''eisteddforiu' can
bring to memory no grander performance,
the fact of being there was all the more
appreciated.
Among some of the members that
were greatly enjoyed was double male
quarted competition in singing the
"March of the men of Harlech." This
was won by choir from Scranton, Penn.
and brought down the house. 1t was the
greatest rendition that has been
heard for years. 1t stirred up that
feeling in a person which can only be
produced by patriotism.
Fiftytwo years ago a young couple
sang solo at the first Utica eisteddfod
and it was the pleasure of those who
were present at this esteddfod to hear
the same couple sing the very same
duet. A prolonged onchor brought back
the old lady who fifty years ago was the
favorite soprano singer of the New York
Welsh singers.
The adjudicators of song consisted
of Professor r. j. Davies af Allegany,
Penn, Professor William Apmode of
Chicago and Dan Pruthero of Milwau-
kee Their decisions were fair and re-
ceived with enthusiasm by the large
crowd that filled the Armory.
Selections were given by singers from
Utica and from abroad during inter-
missions, including Dan Pruthero who
is so popular and sings always to please
his listeners.
Every person in the large auditorium
was reused to the limit when two young
gentlemen led in singing, the closing
song of the eisteddfod, "Mae Heu Wladfiy
Nhadau" This is the Welsh national
air and was sung correctly. With
''hwyl" it is enough to stir up the heart
of Yankee.
| During the eistedGfod resolution
was presented and passed congratuia-
tions and wishing success to their fell
low kinsman, Charles f. Hughes, gov
ernor of the state of New York. With
all the good material that is in Mankato
it is not treating themselves far to be
SO slow in starting up an Eistedlfod.
1T makes Welshmen better Americans,
and it makes Americans think better
of Welshmen.

or assistant postmaster Mr.. Forest
would not accept the position of assist
ant postmaster and some of the mem
bers in the district were not satisfied
with having only a chaplain.
Then George w. John of Garden City
was brought into the game as candi-
date for assistant postmaster and Rev.
r. d. Phillips of Ceylon as candidate for
chaplain. This solved the problem and
satisfied all concerned.
