Every Night

The great LaVita man, traveller,
lecturer, advertiser and philanthro-
pist, who created such furore in the
large cities throughout the country,
last night gave his first lecture and
demonstration to the people of Rock
Island. The entertainment was big
success. The music and singing pleas
ed the crowd, as one could tell by
the expression on their faces.
The free concert is held upon the
large, electric lighted stage on a va
cant lot at Twenty-fourth street and
Fifth avenue, and the lecture by the
LaVita man is a remarkable example
of his oratorical power and imposing
appearance. LaVita has the look of
man who has done many things and
accomplished much along the line of
his LIES work. When he talks he
speaks conviction into the hearts of
his hearers. In an interview LaVita
expressed his warm appreciation of
the manner in which he had been re-
ceived in this city. 81 have been kept

Sophie Tucker is new songs and the
famous old Cherry sisters are being
made the recipients of the bulk of
applause at the Empire for the last
show of the season, which opened last
night Miss Tucker has four new songs
and has opened a trunk of new cos
tunes for the last half Of the week. In
spite of the new numbers she gave,
the audience insisted on In My
Harem," Now Am De Time" and 9TH

scored so heavily the first half of the
week. Last night she was on the stage
for over half an hour AS long as the
audience wanted more songs, she re-
turned The best of the new songs

Florus played eight numbers of the
xylophone and made a big hit with
his audience. Lewis, Griffith and Lew

the Coincidence" went good in their
singing, talking and dancing skit. Jer-
ONE and Carson sang, danced and did
considerable tumbling which pleased
those to whom that form of entertain
ment proves attractive. Mrs. Casey
sings Good Bye, Boys" with nlustra-
lions.
The Cherry Sisters presented the
same act they have been putting on
for the past 20 years. They do not
appear to have grown any older. The
old familiar drummer boy and TIA
ra-ra B0om-de-ay" numbers are done
with exactly the same gestures as al
ways. Where there we're three at one
time, there are but two of the sisters

Of the week the act will remain at

controlling the life-giving fluids and

There has been a great change in
our regular bill OF fare OF today and
that of so years ago. II is perhaps
more noticeable in the increased sup
ply of green and succulent vegetables
which, as their name suggests. are
vegetables more for refreshing, palata-
bic and clearing qualities, rather than
for their nutritiye food value.
It is very easy for many readers 10
remember when their own or grand
fathers cellars had for their winter
supply OF vegetables only the staples.
such as potatoes, turnips, carrots,
beets. cabbage and onions. What a
change has come about in the last few
years, even with new and improved
varieties in these same vegetables /;
better cultivation, Improvements in
transportation and storage, the great
development Of dollhouse gardening
and the great canning industries have
made suCculent vegetables common

Now. food scientists, experiment
stations at Washington, domestic
science schools With trained teachers,
] all are teaching US the right value OF
foods as related to our bodies for
health. strength and beauty. and now
when spring comes-if we have knOwl
edge of foods, and mix with our heavy
winter diet these green vegetables
we are as well then lin fact, we should
/ be better than at any other season

vegetable according to our general
uses.
