THE KNOW HOW.
To Feed Children and Get Good

There are more nervous persons
made so by undigested food lying

If food remains undigested in the
stomach, it begin to ferment, set up
gas and a large portion IS mus con-
verified into poison.
That's why imperfectly digested food
may, and often does, cause irritation
of the nerves and stupor OF the mind
brain and nerves are really pois-
oned.

teaspoon; salt and paprika; melted
butter.
Utensis-Baking dish, measuring
cup, steaspoon, bowl and sauce pan.
Directions-Peel and boil the onions,
uncovered, in a very little water for
10 minutes. Save one-half cup of the
water in which they were Doiled and
add one tablespoonful OF butter for
basting. Mix all the remaining ingred-
tents and mix with the thin, chopped
onion, which has been scooped from
the center of the onions, season with
salt and paprika and refill, set into
baking pan and bake Basic often
with the water and melted butter.
These have both meat and vegetable
food elements.
Onions should be as much of a
stap.e article OF vegetables in every
home as potatoes. There is no limit
to their uses for fiavoring in meats,
stews, soups, sauces. salads, salad
dressings or entrees. 1t is necessary,
however, not TO use too much, or it
will kill the original flavor OF the dish.
If grated, instead of sliced, when used
raw they are more easily digested.
In salads or sandwiches when mixed
with dressings or meats they make a
smoother dressing.
! If little chopped parsley is mixed
with it or a sprig eaten after eating
the onion, very little if any odor is
Roticed. Eat them freely and believe
| the old saying. Eat onions in May,
no doctors you'll pay"

SCOTCH NOTABLE
VISITOR IN CITY
Employed as Mining Expert IL
Africa by British Govern
ment for Three Years.
HAS ANCIENT FAMILY TREE
Late Queen Victoria Entertained in
His Boyhood Home-Is Friend
Of Lauder.

A genuine Highland Scotch laddie,
with an accent so broad as to make
that of Harry Lauder resemble an
inferior substitute for an 1S-karat to
basco sauce, has arrived in Rock Is
land. His name is Robert Bruce Mac
Gregor, and he fairly radiates the at
mosphere Of his native heath. Mac
Gregor, who was born in the High
lands of Scotland. has for the past
two and a half years been in the
African service of the British govern
ment, in the capacity of mining ex-
pert Dissatisfied with his lot, the
SCotchman decided to come to Ameri-
ca, the land Of promise, in the hopes
of seeking fame and fortune in the
golden west. His experiences in Amer
lea have been anything but encourag-
ing, and the wanderer was almost de-
termined TO return TO his home across
the waters, when he met several of
his countrymen here who befriended
him and bestowed upon him many
welcome words of encouragement Mac
Gregor expects to locate eventually
in Denver, Col, where he can pursue
/ his crosen vocation.
HOB-NOBS WITH QUEENS.
Mac Gregor has travelled over the
| greater part of Europe, speaks 10 diff
| ferent languages, and was educated
at the University of Aberdeen. To
/ hear him narrate his adventures is
| equal TO reading one of the five best
! sellers. His boyhood home was locat-
ed within a few miles of the late
Queen Victoria Rcastle. Mac Gregor
can boast honors WHICH have fallen
to the lot of but few, inasmuch as the
late queen of England has frequently
patted him on the head and brought
to him sacks of candy. Oftimes of
an afternoon the queens wicker chair,
drawn by a donkey and guarded by a
British soldier, would draw up at the
Mac Gregor cottage, where the queen
would drink a cup of tea with the
worthy Scotch matron Mac Gregor
then a mere lad, recalls how the queen
would lay her hand upon his head
and bring to him sweet meats which
were infrsquent visitors at the cot
tage He called her granny. On the
occasion of such visits. the lad many
times amused himself by tickling the
royal donkey with a straw, in order &c
induce that worthy beast to throw
up its heels in a vain endeavor to de
molish the wicker basket.
KNOWS LAUDER.
Mac Gregor is personally acquaint
ed with the Scotch comedian, Harry
Lauder. who is famous on the Ameri
can stage. Lauder was an ordinary
coal miner before he sought the thea
tricaI profession as a means of livli
hood. Mac Gregor tells of an inciden
which occurred in Glasgow years ago
shortly after Lauder had made hi
, debut in stageland. A benefit per
Torrance was to be given for the min
ers and the famous Lauder was ask
ed to appear on the program. Th'
Scotch comedian, whose parsimony Il
= q by-wOrd the world over. refused L

tude assumed by their former &C
