GRAND RAPIDS
THE HEART Of
WISCONSIN"
How Cleve Akey's Famous Song Has
Become Popular Slogan For
This City.

It was while the EIks of this city
wer planning a minstrel show and
were planning a minstrel show and
chorus that Cleve Akey, musical di-
rector of the organization was inspir-
ed to write what has since become a
famous expression, for the opening
chorus of the show, which was emit
tied, Grand Rapids, The Heart of Wis
consin.
The clever and adaptive wording of
the song and chorus together with
the catchy Tilt, made an immediate
hit, and while there are few outside
the Elks who are familiar with the
words, the phrase, "Grand Rapids,
The Heart Of Wisconsin," has Caught
on" and become a state wide slogan
1t is now suggested by some of the
business men that The song be instru-
mented for band and that it be play
ed at the local band concerts, that
printed copies of the chorus be dis
tributed and that all who attend the
concerts be requested to join in sing
ing the great Grand Rapids song.
We have heard about the Valley Of
Old Virginia, My Old Kentucky Home
Mid the Green Fields of Virginia, |
Want to Go Back to Michigan, and
several other songs which have. ad-
vertised different sections of the coun-
try-let's go after this and advertise
Grand Rapids, The Heart of Wiscon-
sin in song.
Some of the business men have a
greed to "chip in" and pay the cost of
having the music arranged for the
band
So that all, may become familiar
with Mr.. Akey's great hit, the verses
and chorus are here produced.

GREATEST OF GERM KILLERS
Nothing Has Yet Been Devised That
Can Do the Work That Is Done
by the Sun.

The old sun is the best germ killer
of them all. you remember how they
used to-and do yet-expose the
bright dairy pans and cans to the
suns rays. But few appreciate ex-
actly the work done by the sun in
this regard. Probably only those
who are acquainted with tests which
have actually been made realize how
quickly sunshine kills disease germs
exposed to it.
This is the test scientists used to
prove that the sun kills germs: A
mass of tuberculosis material, which
was proved to contain uncountable
numbers of virulent tubercle bacilli,
was obtained from tuberculOus cow
and spread in thin smooth translucent
layers on sheets of glass, pieces of
wood and strips of muslin. Some were
placed outdoors where the sun could
shine on them, and an equal number
were placed in a dark room.
After 80 minutes exposure in the
sun no living tubercle bacilli could be
found; every test that could be made
proved that they were all dead.
The specimen kept in dark room
proved to contain fully virulent, living
tubercle bacilli after 80 days. The
contrast is remarkable, tubercle ba-
cilli of the same kind, on the same
kind of material, dying in a smaller
number of minutes in the sunshine
than the number of days they re-
NAMED alive in dark room.

What the Doctor knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc,
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
Of the patients urine. He knows that IN
less the kidneys are doing their work.
properly. the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected Or
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success RS a kidney remedy is
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
The mild and healing influence Of this
preparation. in most cases, is soon real
i=ed according to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp Root at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in bot,

DADDY Is, STILL AGiTATlNG
Precious Youngster Asked Question
Which Couldn't Be Answered
Fright Off the Bat"

When Auditor of State Vic Donahey
and six of his ten children had re-
turned from Sunday school he tried
the children out on the lesson. which
had been about Noah and the Ark. He
impressed on their minds that of all
the inhabitants of the earth, human,
creeping and otherwise. all save those
which had taken refuge on the Ark
had persisted in the flood. There was
nothing living at all except what was
on the Ark, he told the children. The
waters had drowned out all life
Say, dad" inquired one of the
youngsters, who is especially preco..
cious, did the fishes in the water die,
too"
This was a poser for the auditor.
He told the lad that he would answer
the question later Answering Ques-
lions right off the bat is one Of the
accomplishments of the auditor, but
the one the boy asked stumped him.

lnnumerable Goodies, the Ingredients
of Which Should Be Kept Con-
stantiy at Hand.

There are many tempting ways of
serving dates besides plain and as a
sweet. Use them as a filling for sand
wiches. Take two cupfuls of dates,
put them through meat chopper, then
add a cupful of peanut butter and
blend them together. Then the paste
between slices of white bread.
Another woman also uses dates in
baked custard, in tapioca and as filling
for cookies. pies and cakes. Mixed
with apples, celery and nuts. they
make a delicious salad. To use dates
as a pudding cooked with rice, add to
a quart of milk a cupful of stoned
dates and a quarter of a cupful of rice.
Sweeten and bake in slow oven.
Cook keeps in her cold closet an
assortment of pastes and buffers that
are used so much in preparing relishes
for the tea, after-dinner suppers and
bridge parties. She has them ready
in small, labeled glass jars, and titbits
and sauces can be made at moments
notice Here are a few of her best
recipes:
Rub skinned and boned sardines to
a paste and then gradually blend with
little lemon juice: may be added to
butter to give it very desirable sand.
WITCH fiavors. Orange butter for after
noon tea sandwiches can be mixed
with chopped nuts and figs or any
other, sweet filling. Grated orange
rind, too, is good to add to the butter.
Olives may be ground in vegetable
chopper, mashed to paste and
creamed into butter. Capers are
chopped and creamed with butter, and
either of these can be used on broiled
chops or beefsteaks, as sandwich but
tiers, or on green peas or string beans
to improve the flavor.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

If brick is used for an iron stand
the iron will hold it's heat much longer
than when an ordinary stand is used.
Before baking apples make small
slit all the way round each with a
knife. This will prevent their split
ting when cooking.
When shoes become squeaky, try
dipping the soles in kerosene.
Never use liniment near an open
fame, for a liniment usually contains
some substance of an inflammable ma
ture.
An apple or two baked in the inside
of goose will absorb any rankness or
oily flavor.
To make a satisfactory cream sauce,
first put the milk on, and while this
is getting warm rub the butter and
-four together until smooth; as soon
as the milk comes to the boil, grad
ually add the creamy mixture while
the milk continues to boil, and the fin
ished sauce will be quite smooth.

IN THE SCHOOL LUNCH
SANDWICHES NECESSARILY PLAY
AN IMPORTANT PART.
So Great a Variety Is Possible That
the Children Will Not Soon Tire
of Them-Some Substitutes
for Meat.

Well-prepared sandwiches should
form an important part of every school
lunch. They are easily made and
should be very wholesome and pal
atable. Variety Is the spice of life
here as elsewhere, and there should
be at least two kinds of sandwiches
in each lunch. The number and kind
may be varied from day to day.
Cut the bread for sandwiches into
thin slices of uniform thickness with
a sharp knife, and spread the butter
evenly over both slices of bread in or
der to keep it moist and prevent any
fruit filling that may be used from
making the sandwiches soggy or indi-
gestible. Sandwiches made several
hours before they are to be eaten
should be wrapped in moist cloth and
kept in a cool place, or wrapped in
wax paper, to prevent them from dry.
ing or absorbing odors.
In giving these directions for max
ing sandwiches, Miss Bah Bell Of the
University of Missouri. college of ag.
riculture, says little about meat sand
wiches because most people are ia
miliar with the ordinary ham sand
witch, and in many cases such meat
substitutes as peanut butter, eggs or
cheese should be used instead of the
more expensive meats.
Here are some good sandwich ma
terials:
Bread and Butter.-Cut the bread in
thin slices. Spread the butter evenly
on both slices and press together.
Lettuce.-Make a bread-and butter
sandwich and place leaf of crisp
lettuce, washed and thoroughly dried,
between the two slices. Put tea
spoonful of mayonnaise dressing on
the lettuce leaf
Nuts.-Make a lettuce sandwich,
spread one side with nuts, chopped
fine, and mixed with good dressing.
chicken.-Chop cold boiled chicken
and moisten with mayonnaise dress
ing Spread between bread. Add a
lettuce leaf
Eggs.-Chop the whites of hard
boiled eggs very fine. Mix the yolks
with mayonnaise dressing and season
with pepper and salt. Add the whites
and spread between bread. Lettuce
may be used also.
Dates.-Make filling of one-half
cupful of stoned dates, one-half cupful
of sweet cream: spread between slices
of buttered bread.
Plmento and cheese.-Make a filling
of one-half cupful of cream cheese and
one-fourth cupful of chopped pimento,
two tablespoonfuls salad dressing, salt
and pepper. Spread on butter evenly.
Cottage cheese may be used or the pi-
mento may be left out.
Peanut Butter.-Peanuts ground and
mixed with a salad dressing make an
excellent filling. The commercial pea
nut butter may also be used. Spread
evenly between buttered bread. A
crisp lettuce leaf adds to the attrac-
tiveness of this sandwich
