THE DIET OF
RUNABOUT CHILD
written by J. a. Wenk. NJ D., Child
Specialist for the Colorado
tuberculosis Associatioul

written by J. a. Wenk, VI. D., Child
Specialist for the Colorado
tuberculosis Association).
The period in child life between
the ages Of ? and C has been called
the neglected period. These four or
five years are perhaps the most inn
portant in determining the future
health and habits. There are many
factors which influence the chrds
growth during this time such as
home control and sanitation. hygiene
and habits, and others. but the
most important single factor is diet
It is a wise mother that knows her
child's weight Weight charts and
diet lists can be obtained from The
Colorado tuberculosis association
3O5 Barth Building. Denver. and they
will tell you what the child should
weigh and what he may best eat al
any age
Following are some general re.
marks on feeding the runabout
child.
Eat slowly. not merely eat. but
dine. The child who bolts his meal
and runs hwriedly to play can ueith-
er work nor digest properly Chill
dren prefer highly spiced foods but
simple foods are more wholesome.
Give plenty OF fresh vegetables each
day. Dried or canned may be used
when fresh vegetables are not ob.
tainable. Fruits are necessary and
should be given daily. Eggs may
be given four or five times week
and fish may be used in place of
meat Cereals and breads should be
used freely. Whole wheat bread
are better than white.
Remember, milk, vegetables. and
cereals are more important than
meat at these ages and should be
provided first.

Well, you can't blame him.
Rooney and Marion Bent at
Keith's for-3S6 years, and every
season they had sung and danced
She's the Daughter Of Rosie
O'Gra-a-ady."
Last night, holding the stage
for an hour and five minutes, by
Mr.. Rooney's own announce
ment, Rooney and Bent put on
their most pretentious show. The
Daughter" song didn't get a
look-in, being utilized only as a
dancing tune for the timber
legged Pat.
Thus was a prophecy, made
277 years ago by Mr.. Rooney,
fulfilled. He said, on that occa-
sion: It'll be a cold night when
we don't sing She's the Daugh-
ter of Rosie O'Grady.'"

give their new vehicle. 1t is by
far the best thing Rooney and
Bent have ever put out. Pat

recent years. He has a number

MISFORTUNE
INVESTED FOR
RIALTO FILM

For the enlightenment Of photo
play patrons who marvel at the
stupendous and lavish In which
"Under the Red Robe,' the
$4,000 picture now playing at
the Rialto Theater, has been
filmed, the Cosmopolitan Corpora
rton has compiled some interest
ing figures. These statistics,
most of which set new records in
the making of a photoplay, them
selves adequately answer the
question as to Just how fortunes
are spent on films.
In bringing the historical mas
terpiece by Stanley Weyman to
the screen the Cosmopolitan Cor
poratlop assembled one Of the
most brilliant casts over gathered
for stage or screen play. The
salaries for Robert b. Mantell,
John Charles Thomas, and Alma
Rubens, the featured players, and
the score OF principals and $500
extra players, amounted to up
wards of $3.50, 900. II
The total cost of the sets was
$24S,860. The costumes pur-
chased and manufactured here

Jewels, ornaments, arms, and
other decorations, represented an
outlay of $125,000.

smal-time young rat, whom every
body wishes dead, and then proceed
to spoil the evening worrying
about it.
The piece Is pushed for three

frailties and thus much Of our
sympathy for her is negated.
Shed try the patience of the
Nazarene, at times, and that's
plenty for the one little virtue
However, one can't forbade a
mental slap of encouragement on
the back for the lonely old woman
at the close of the play or a
whispered word of hope as she
faces a future made by her own
impulses; a future without the
daughter she loves, whom she
has exchanged for blowsy dere-
lict that a proud policeman
wouldn't drag from a swamp:
All for love!
We think this role of Stella
Dallas is made markedly congenial
by the Carter code of acting. She
doesn't believe it is as serious as
it appears in script. She Is
elastic, confident and occasionally
funny. An especially bright con-
tribution to the entire perform
ance is the work of Margaret
Hawkins as Laurel, the daughter.
She acts the ingenue exactly as
one would expect an intelligent
young lady in real life to meet
the circumstances that are thrust
on her. That Is, an unusual

is interestingly effective as Ed

pearances of late. This is not to

and Mrs. Carter, with a capable

warm up to her efforts. She has
a play with phlegmatic first
act that grows better in strides
and bounds in the succeeding

"Stella Dallas" is a fairly well
prepared brief for mother love;
a chronicle of one mothers sacri-
fices for a daughter whom the
divorce courts left fatherless.
Stella is rather dumb old girl,
given to double negatives, shady
company and a taste in clothes
that would amaze a Fiji Islander.
Nevertheless beneath that gaudi-
ly flambouyant exterior beats

it; a diamond in the rough, a
pearl in the mudbanks.
