gram from Minneapolis stating that
her husband was very low and that
she should come to his bedside at
once. Just one hour later she re-
ceived another telegram stating that

Sandstone. After being treated for
several weeks there he was trans
ferred to the University hospital in
Minneapolis where he was operated
upon for a tumor in his stomach and
has been there for many weeks in a
more or less critical condition. After
his long struggle he passed to the
Great Beyond yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Mogensen leaves to mourn ibis
early demise. besides his wife, five
small children ranging in age from
two to ten years, as we'll as host

Directed by James X. Shields. au-
thor of "The Stream of Life" and "A
Maker of Men" A wonderfully real
istic and dramatic portrayal of the
tragedies that were everyday occur
ances in the old saloon days, "a true
story taken from real life. Z" .
Heredity and environment play a
great part in moulding the life of
Jimmy McNulty. His early :; child
hood is spent in the shadows of ad-
versity and poverty, for at the age of
nine, Jimmy becomes the provider of
the family. With both parents ad-
dicted to drink, his little brothers and
sisters look to him with eager, hungry
eyes for their daily bread and milk;
and these necessities of life Jimmy
provides through the sale of his news
papers.
John McNulty, their father, is a
worthless, shiftless, good-for-nothing
who is found drunk on the street and
locked up on the night of Mrs. Nc
Nulty's death.
How the sins of the father are Wis
tied upon the children, unto the third
and fourth generation, is graphically
portrayed in this gripping drama of
real life.

THE HURRYING PAINTERS

Clang, clatter, bang! Down the
street came the fire engines. Driving
along ahead. oblivious of any danger,
was a farmer in a ramshackle old
buggy. A policeman yelled at him ::
Hi, there, look out! The fire depart

Turning in by the curb the farmer
watched the hose cart, salvage wagon
and engine whiz past Then he:
turned out into the street again and
drove on. Barely had he started
when the hook and ladder came tear
ing along. The rear wheel of the
big truck slowed into the farmers
buggy, smashing it to bits. and send

gutter. The policeman ran to his
assistance.
Didn't I tell we to keep out Of the

"INSIDE" INFORMATION
(By q. s. Dept. of Agriculture

There are three points to remember
in preparing a vegetable dinner.
First there must be a variety of fla
vor. So far as flavor is concerned, a
good combination is one mild-flavored
vegetable, such as potatoes or Lima
beans; one vegetable of pronounced
flavor, like cauliflower, cabbage, or
onions; one which is either sour it.
self, or may be served with vinegar
spinach, or beets, for instance. Sec
ond, there must be variety of texture
Variety in texture is obtained by hav-
ing one vegetable with crisp crust
like corn fritters, or scalloped to-
matoes; a second vegetable served
with sauce; and third simply cooked
in water, as peas or string beans, are
usually cooked. A raw vegetable such
as celery or radishes lends still fur
Their variety. The third point to re-
member in connection with vege-
table dinner is to include some pro-
tein foods in the meal. AS a rule, one
of the vegetables should be beans, or
peas. which are comparatively rich
in protein. Or one of the vegetables
may be served with a protein food,
such as cheese, milk, eggs, or chopped
meat. Examples of vegetables COM
bined with protein foods are green
peppers or tomatoes stuffed with a
meat mixture, cauliflower or potatoes
scalloped with cheese, spinach with
hard-boiled eggs, and sweet corn pud-
ding made with milk and eggs.

Cottage cheese is high in food val
ue. 1t contains all the constituents
of milk, excepting the cream. Like
milk, cottage cheese is a source of
protein, which is used to build and
repair body tissue. There are many
dishes which can be made with cot
tage cheese. Cottage cheese served
plain is especially pleasing in sum-
mer. Many people like it with rich
cream, and little salt, or with
cream and sugar. Sour cream or
melted butter improves the flavor of
cottage cheese and increases the food
value. Cottage cheese makes a de-
licious sandwich filling, especially
for the picnic season of the year.
For sandwiches, moisten the cheese
with sweet cream, and flavor it with
a little chopped parsley, chopped or
