AT THE ILLINOIS.


given a high class vaudeville treat
Saturday afternoon and evening of
this week when the entire bill which
is now playing the Orpheum- Grand
in Davenport will be brought to the
Illinois theatre. Manager Klinck Sc
cured the production for his house
and for the Rock Island theatregoers
from the Orpheum circuit when it was
learned that the show could not be
produced at the Grand owing to the
fact that the house was retained by
the Davenport Turner society for its
annual masquerade. The show was
TO be offered in some other Davenport
house, but Manager Klinck got busy
and succeeded in securing the entire
bill for his patrons. Rock Island the
atregoers, who have not yet seen this
excellent bill at the Orpheum-Grand
/ will no doubt attend the Saturday
/ performances. The show, which is
headed by Miss Jessie Busley in Miss
S1S," a department store play by Ru-
/ pert Hughes of Excuse Me- fame,
is star conglomeration Of acts. Be
sides the headliner there is Miss Car
rie Reynolds, we'll known English
comedienne; Doc O'Neil, the Mar
velous Millers, wonderful dancers;
Keane and White, Eldora and com,
pany, and Meehan's CANNES. The Or.
pheum-Grand orchestra or 10 pieces
will also come TO the Illinois for the
two performances
No better entertainment could DOS
sibly be offered than that provided BY
Uncle Josh Perkins" the famous New
England rural comedy drama, which
will be seen at the Illinois tomorrow
The play tells a simple story in which
mirth predominates, but without OBJ
securing the tender heart interest. Re
alistic pictures of farm life bring bacl
pleasant memories to thousands who's
youth was spent apart from the rusl
and turmoil of cities. Uncle Josl
Perkins" continues its mission Of en-
tertaining the great mass of theatre
goers TO whom it's humanity appeal
most potently The play has been re
dressed by the management witt

importance of teaching children to
eat slowly. Although it rs not
strictly true to say that every child
who eats rapidly is in poor health,
1t Is true that a child who is IN the
habit of chewing each mouthful
thoroughly is rarely in poor health.
In children imperfect masticatlon
is frequently the cause of restless
sleep and oyerwrought nerves.
Many a child is blamed for being
naughty, when he is really suffering
from indigestion brought aboot by
haste in eating.
The fault is not always with the
child. Most children naturally eat
slowly. Any one who has ever fed
bowl of bread andmilk to a young
child knows that it takes long time
to finish the meal. The child takes
spoonful, and then pounds on the
table, or laughs and plays. He Is
in no hurry for the next mouthful.
1t is the nurse or mother who is in
hurry, and who holds the spoon
before the child's mouth, and urges
him to eat.
A little later the child comes to
the table with the family. At many
breakfast-tables the important thing
is to finish the meal, and get father
out of the house in time TO catch
his train, or reach his work on time.
There is an atmosphere of hurry
and confusion that is contagious.
The evening meal should be. a
peaceful and cheerful occasion, but
it sometimes happens that one of
the parents takes the opportunity to
criticise a child for some trifling
fault. When that is the case the
pleasure of the meal is quite lost,
the child hurrles through his dinner
or supper, and leaves the table as
soon as possible. Unpleasant
thoughts, grief, or anger, check di-
gestion. Make the child happy at
meal time if you can. He will re-
pay you by a more cheerful dispo-
sitlon, a stronger body, and bet
ter standing at school.
Do not permit child to wash
down his food with swallows of
water, coffee, or even milk. Let
him drink all the water he wants be
fore he begins the meal and b, tween
meals, but let il be used spanngly
during meals.
A child who eats slowly viii sell
dom overeat. Moreover, eating
slowly encourages desire for sim
pie foods. In order to eat much of
a highly seasoned or very nch food
you must bolt 1t. Ii you try to eat
a very rich pudding. and masiicate
slowly and thoroughly, ycu will find
that it Lecomcs dist s,tfil bef re
you nave eaten very much.
The exercise of chewing has a
good effect upon the bones and
muscles Of the face, and improves
the facial contour ust as surely as
exercising the arm improves that
organ. Mastication keeps the teeth
nourished and well polished; and
strong, healthy teeth, kept clean by
masiication and the proper use OF
the tooth brush, exert an important
influence on the chlld's health.
