Recital Attracts Attention

Since publication of the program
to be given by Clarence Eddy at
the First Congregational church,
Moline, Thursday evening, June &c.
the coming of this great artist is
causing no end of pleasure among
those of the trf-cities interested n
high-class music.
From the first number to the
last, Mr.. Eddy has selected a pro-
gram for his recital here, that no
doubt will be received with de-
light. Johann Sebastian Bach, aft
er whose name the first number
was written-Prelude and Fugue
on BACH. was the father of
organ playing, who left a wonder
full legacy to the world of music,
especially in his compositions for
the organ. The authenticity of the
prelude and fugue has never been
established. but the present edition
is due to Casper P. Koch, a promi-
nent organist of Pittsburgh. The
fugue is constructed upon the

sides: bake quickly light brown,
slip it off the basin, butter the in
side and just before serving fill
with the berries; serve with whip
ped cream. This will serve five
people.
Boiled Greens-Take about one
gallon of greens, pick carefully so
that all dried or tough parts may
be discarded Wash thoroughly in
several waters, then place in deep
iron pot or ordinary stew pan
with hardly enough water to cover
green's. Also put in a small piece
of lean bacon for seasoning. Boil
for an hour or more and If needed
add just enough water at intervals
to prevent scorching.
When the greens are one dark
tender mass, take them up with a
vegetable drainer. cut them up
well and place on a platter with
the sliced bacon. Poach one egg
to each person to be served and
place these on top of green's. Salt
the greens while cooking; a bit OF
red pepper also improves them

To Cook HegctabIeS.


Vegetables can be cooked with
out water, thus saving all food
value and adding much to the
taste of the dish. This can be &C
complished either in the double
boiler or casserole. or, lacking
either. by putting the kettle con-
tanning the food in a larger one
partly filled with hot water.
The method of preparing the
vegetables is much the same, the
time of cooking varying as to size
and freshness of the same. String
beans and asparagus may be cook
ed whole or cut in inch pieces.
Peas shelled. new potatoes scrap
ed. new carrots sliced carrots AMI
peas together are good.
To cook in double boiler, If
wanted to serve with butter, put
in the prepared vegetables, add a
tablespoon butter or substitute,
cover closely and cook till tender.
Salt should not be added till done.
If cream sauce is desired. make a
thin drawn-butter sauce and pour
over vegetables when they are put
in the boiler. and cook them in the
sauce: or, cook in butter and pour
the sauce over after they are done.
Spinach or other greens and
cabbage should be blanched by
,steaming in steamer or colander
over hot fire for five minutes be-
fore packing in double boiler or
casserole. To these a piece of
meat may be added.
Greens or cabbage are especi-
ally good en- casserole with slices
of ham. bacon or spareribs. Par
boil onions FIVE minutes and cook
in casserole with cream sauce COW
cred with bread crumbs dotted with
butter or grated cheese.
If cream soup is desired. cook
small quantity of the required veg
etable. put it through the sieve and
use both pulp and water. Thus
you get better soup and better veg
etables.
All fresh vegetables may be cook
ed in this way. seasoned and serv-
ed according to taste, alone or COM
bine with meat.

WEATHER HELPS
HOUSE WORKERS
Letup in Zero Temperature Allows
Hurry-Up Work on Projects
in Rock Island.

The Henry W. Horst company,
contractors, has been greatly bene-
Cited by the favorable weather
which has existed for the past week
in the development in the construc-
ton of the 460 homes in Rock Is
land, East Moline and Moline. Es-
pecially the exterior work, has ad-
vanced to such degree that near
ly all homes are ready for interior
work. Work on plumbing and wir-
ing installations are preparing
more than two hundred houses for
plastering. Already about seventy
five homes have been plastered.
The progress on the construction
Of the homes has maintained only
the proper speed that is consistent
with thoroughly good construction.
No desire exists to create these
homes in the shortest possible time
and thereby let them suffer in quail
ity.
The Horst company has success
fully brought to a conclusion more
than two-thirds of the housing con-
tract. Rigid inspection is being
constantly made and strict regu-
lations govern every item of work.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are aHarmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the, sub.
stitute for calonel-are a mild but sure
laxative, ard their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re.
suit of Dr. Edwards's determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injuTe the teeth4ike
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold of the trouble and quickly it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. II
is best not to take calomel, but to let DR.
Edwards Olive Tablets take its place
Most headaches, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel '1oggy"and
heavy" Note how they clear" Clouded

Casey Lewis, paroled negro pris-
oner, was arraigned in Rock Island
police court this morning and evil
dence proves that the negro is a
bootlegger. He was sentenced to
10 days in the county jail, giving
parole agents an opportunity to
take charge of the man and return
him to the penal institution from
which he was paroled. Lewis was
arrested at 10 this morning by Pa
trolman Ernest Ristau at 52S
Thirteenth street, while the
negro was concluding the sale of a
glass of whisky to white man for
% cents.
Patrolman Ristau recognized the
man as a paroled prisoner and as
the NEGRO should have been at his
work the officer was keeping tab
on him to discover his game.
Shortly a white man was accosted
by Lewis and the two entered the
house at the above mentioned adj
dress. The patrolman followed
shortly after and saw Lewis sell
the white man the liquor. Both
men were brought to the police sta
ton but the white man was re-
leased after he had testified in the
case.
The witness said that the negro
told him that the country would be
dry after July 1, 1919, but that he,
together with his kind, would
paint Rock Island red after July
