Blanche Sweet has appeared in
many epoch-making subjects in mo-
ton pictures, but none can surpass
and few compare with her superb
work in "The Blacklist" tonight's at
traction at the Grand. New in theme

is timely in that it gives frank dis

For the first time on the screen, the

Blanche Sweet, whose power as an
actress of strong and intensely
human roles has increased with her
growing popularity, appears tn the
leading role in "The Blacklist"
Into her hands is given the fate of
thousands Of striking miners who
have taken up arms against strike
breakers. The story does not end
with a thrilling representation of the
conflict, but is carried through to
conclusion in which the authors give
a substantial remedy to the problem
of the war between capital and labor.

INQUIRY SHOWS INQUIRY NECESSARY.

Having made inquiry about the high price OF
gasoline the federal trade commission has
made a preliminary report which carries the IN
formation that immediate investigation OF the
gasoline situation is most urgently needed.
That is after considerable time during
which investigation has been carried on, the I'M
portant fact has been unearthed that there
should be investigation.
The real investigation will presumably take
more time in ratio to its greater Importance.
In the meantime the high price Of gasoline
continues to prevail.
If there are causes for it which ought not to
be, and they are at length detected, discovered.
revealed, unearthed, disclosed, there will be
no redress for those who paid the high prices.
If no improper causes are found, there will be
no need of the redress which could not be-
But anyway, there will have been another
great investigation.
Red tape are the strings by which some
things are pulled.
Keokuk is preparing for fall celebration.
1t is not an easy task The preparatory work
for such an event is exceedingly arduous and
interminable. IF you doubt it connect up with
the general committee and follow them for
awhile. Take the time from your business that
they take; subject yourself to all kinds Of an
noyance-both petty and major-and you will
soon discover that preparing for a fall celebra-
ton is no summer picnic. Emil Renaud, as
chairman of the committee, at the recent meet
ing of the Retailers League, gave the member
ship some idea Of the stupendous amount of
work involved The other members of the COM
mittee are J. P Ingle, Jacob Schouten, George
D. Baur, j. w. Winger and D. E. Linquist. This
committee is assisted by M. e. Justice, presi-
dent of the Retailers League, and W. J. Fulton,
the secretary. The purpose in bringing this
matter to public attention is to urge the com
munity to cooperate to the end that every pos
sible assistance be given the committee so that
their work will be easier.

suitable attraction for lent. William
Farnum, an actor of great power,
plays the leading role in what is
truly one of the great classics OF the
screen, with an extravaganza OF
scenic and spectacular beauty seldom
seen in pictures. THE Sign Of the
Cross" is beautiful in sentiment and
has been given a production of splen-
dor. Many saw the picture when it
was formerly shown at the Grand,
but everybody should enjoy it tomor-
row and it is well worth seeing a
second time.

The Gate City is pleased that the retail mer-
chants are giving the question of advertising
serious consideration. 1t is vital one. SO
many forms of clearly fake and worthless ad-
vertising are offered the merchant that some
sort of action and agreement for protective pur-
poses should be maintained 1t is not the mis-
sion of this paper to dictate where and how
the merchants shall spend their money for ad-
vertisng, but it is clearly within our right to
suggest that serious thought be given to the
question.

FAT FOR CHILDREN
FORMS A MOST IMPORTANT PART
OF THEIR DIET.
II Milk and Salad Oils Are Fed In
Any Quantities 1t Is Well to Avoid
Other Foods That Contain
Much Fat.

Fat IS an important part Of the food
Of children. This is moi surprising, for
It is found in considerable amounts in
human milk, the natural food for ba-
bies. Butter, which consists chiefly
Of separated milk fat, and cream,
which is rich in milk fat and also in
the other nourishing substances Of
milk, are both wholesome. Salad oils
of various kinds (olive, ~cottonseed,
peanut and Others) may be given to
children In small amounts. Those who
are not used to table oil must often
be trained to like it. This can usually
be done by introducing it very gradu-
ally into the diet. A good way to serve
it is on spinach and other green's or on
tender salad vegetables.
There is more than an ounce of fat
Cat least 2h level tablespoonfuls) in
a quart of whole milk. If the healthy
child is given a quart of milk, has but
ter IN its bread, and meat or an egg
once a day, he gets enough fat, and
that which he receives is in wholesome
form. 1t is well, therefore, not to
give such fatty foods as pastry, fried
meats and vegetables, and doughnuts
or rich cakes, for in these the fats are
not in so good a form for children, as
experience has shown. If the child is
constipated, the occasional use of
cream or salad Oil is desirable, for
fat in abundance is laxative.
Bacon or salt pork, cut very thin and
carefully cooked, may be given occa-
%sionally, but thick pieces with much
lean are not desirable. In preparing
bacon or salt pork it is very important
not to burn the fat. To avoid this they
should be cooked in one of the follow
ing ways: Put the slices on a broiler
or wire frame yer q pan; place the
pan into Il hot oven and cook long
enough to remove most Of the fat. Or
keep a pan on purpose for cooking ba-
con on top of a o and let the fat
which fries out of it collect in the pan,
taking care that none is burned. In
time so much fat will collect that ba-
con can be dropped into this hot fat,
and will be less likely to burn than if
placed on a hot pan.-Farmers' Bulle-
