WHALE MEAT
FOR KEOKUK
Success of Its Use in the East Causes
Food Administration to Hope
It Will Become Equally
popIIar Here

Whale meat for Keokuk tables needs
only local market and another name
for it to become popular, according to
j. F. Elder, Lee county administrator.
"Whate meat has become so popular
in the east wherever it has appeared
on the table, that the need of a mar
ket name is becoming apparent there,
said Mr.. Elder today, and here in
Keokuk we need also a market for it
that is that it be obtainable from
butchers regularly"
The name seems to be against it,
and the food administration is Seek
ing trade name for it. Nobody ord
ers COW meat, calf meat or pig meat.
and there should be name for whale
meat like beef, veal and pork is the
idea Of Herbert Hoover. One sugges-
ton is to call 1t sea beef
Il ate whale meat in New York
restaurant" said ALT C. Larson, who
has just returned from a long eastern
trip, and it was as good as most meat
one gets. 1t is not in the least like
fish, but more like beef or pork. You
know the whale is an animal, not a
fish,
The last shipment of whale meat
from the Pacific coast was actually
eaten up in the eastern market in a
lew days and there were vain calls
for more, but whales are not netted
simply on order, nor are they caught
with bent PIN" says the food ad
minlsration. But now, that the de-
nand for new and healthful food
mas sprung up with a relish that
means permanency, the food admins
ration is pressing for a fuller and
more regular supply of this most re-
cent and successful meat substitute.
when 1t does reach the market it
naturally is in bulk, and the next
Dig shipment from the coast will be
aoount the middle of July. 1t will go
10 Boston, where the first shipment
was so quickly disposed of as to lead
10 the conclusion that beans and the
sacred cod have a new and formid-
able rival"

Major Eugene W. Caldwell, world
authority ON X-rays, who died recent
ly In New York was tie nephew OF
Captain F. J. Dangherty of Keokuk.
Capt Daugherty married Mr.. Cald-
wells fathers sister.
Every New York newspaper thought
Major CaldweHs career of sufficient
importance to merit the use OF big
headlines. This International expert in
the medical use of the Roentgen rays
was considered great scientist In
the east, who literally gave his life
for the advance Of humanity. Burns

ments were tho cause Of his death.
HE was not only a graduate OF
Kansas University, but he later re-
cefved diplomas from the College, OF
Physicians and Surgeons I'm New York

city" says a Kansas City paper.
Became an Author.
Prom general practice he soon
conferred all Of his interests in the
study and practice Of the Roentgen
rays. and published several books and
monographs upon his experiences and
discoveries in this field, in which he
was a pioneer, so far az America is
concerned. His best known work, is

Major Caldwell first came into gen
eral prominence IN 1910, when he took

Theodore Roosevelt.
Made Major IN Army.
His Inventions In connection with
the Xray we're numerous, but the
most important was the Invention Of
a device which makes possible the
location Of the depth Of foreign sub
stance in the human body. This de-
vice Is now generally used by sur

ment Of this service that he was made
