The Grand Parade.
?W, I'-' . V
There is such unanimity of opinion as to
'", the "grandeur and magnitude of yesterday's
l.&nilhts Templar parade in Rock Island, that
'-tether -"reference to it may appear almost
09suernuous. Yet it would seem that too much
"could not be said lb praise and -appreciation of
such a spectacle. It was not only wonderful;
-att was awelnspiring. So it was to the people
of the tri-cltles and vicinity. Sir knights who
' hae attended national conclaves, as well as
many of the state occasions, where the his-
toric order has shone in solemn array,' pro
tvucunce it one of -the most complete and aito
; -ctgrlber successful processions the order has
"ver presented to the 'admiring eyes.
.Not only was it a triumph in a spectacular
,itd military sense, but it was wonderfully
'managed, In which connection the advance
preparations made by the city in clean streets
carefully roped off, with ample police protec-
v Hon, came in for a just share of praise.

Guard the Houses. .
One way the authorities in every city can
help keep the housing problem from becoming
worse, is to inaugurate rigid campaigns to wipe
out fire hazards. Every year thousands of
houses are destroyed byfire, and while this
was always a great loss to the country, it didnt
matter so much when houses were plentiful.
Every time a house burns, the situation
becomes just that much more acute.'
And right now most property is under
insured. 1 Houses are worth twice as . much
i they were in 1914-16, and very few insur
ance policies have been increased. It is no,
longer possible to .replace a house with the
insurance collected.' - . .
Fail is about Here, and wuen , fires are
started to heat homes, there will be the usual
crop of destructive Ores, unless every chimney
ie inspected, and put in order. All loose trash
should be done away with and every hazard,
.removed. If there ever was a time that such
conservation was needed, it is now. '
Rock Island takes pleasure in welcoming
tonight Governor Frank 0. Lowden, who will
speak at Augustana gymnasium at 8 o'clock in
the interest of Lieutenant Governor John G.
Oglesby's campaign for the governorship. The
city is always pleased and honored to entertain
the state's chief executive regardless of bis
mission, and particularly so in the case of
Governor Lowden.

Most of the real nervousness

Foods That Supply Iron.
Kindly tell me what foods fur
nish iron for the blood. D. H.
Answer Any of the following
articles furnishes all the iron the
body requires tor a day, and in a
form infinitely more available, that
is more assimilable, than any me
dicinal preparation of Iron:
Prunes 4 ounces
Peas L 4 ounces
Beef ounces
Onions 7 ounces
Spinach 7 ounces
Egg yolks 3 ounces
Almonds S ounces
Oatmeal zH ounces
Lettuce 2 ounces
Raisins , 1 ounces
Manv other every-day foods sup
ply iron in ample quantity. Weak
blood or anemia, contrary to the
DODular notion, is rarely if ever
due to insufficient iron. .

HA.
One of the most curious names
which has achieved widespread
popularity today is Ina. It is a
name without a history, without a
country, without even a past. A
product of modern fancy, based on
some fair lady's whim this is
practically the only explanation
which can be given -for the Inaa of
this etymological age.
It is thought by some that it
bears a sufficiently striking re
semblance to the Spanish lnes to
be considered an Anglicized deriv
ative.. That theory would make
Ina equivalent to our Agnes and
would, give it the significance of
pure. It might also be derived
from the Greek Inaz, which has
the same significance.

Gradually Albert grew tired of
the constant hurrying to dinner

quiet evening at home. However,
he did not complain or voice his
sentiments, because he thought that
his wife was happy. To him she

But it is difficult to thrust a
"past" upon a name which Just
"is" and has a charm of its own,
at that The most logical explan
ation is that Ina is a gratuitous
invention; that- the sound of the
name pleased some - Ingenious
young woman and she arbitrarily
christened herself; or, having a
name which she found tiresome,
the discarded it in favor of one of
its syllables. Its vogue proved the
worth of her invention. But since,
in the history of etymology, all
names must have a historical ori
gin, Ina is best regarded as a de
rivative of our Augnes.
Givinr her this significance, the
pearl is Ina's taliamanic gem. It I

The frst floor of the massive i

educational club contains a huge

comfortable leather easy chairs and

The cafeteria is larger than most
hotel dining rooms, so that it can,
serve, according to the secretary,
as many as 3,000 people if called
upon to do so. So far it has had'
to accommodate only 1,000. This
is not because it lacks appreciation,
but because the men work only
eight hours a day- now instead ot
ten and eat on the job. Many of
them leave their tin pails at thai

morning, and the cafeteria fills
them and sends them over to ths
plant at noon.
The kitchen supplying the cafe-
teria has the proud distinction of;
being the largest west of the Mis-'
sissippi. It contains several huge
gas ranges, built like coal stoves, j
and a lot of interesting culinary)
equipment which we might have
taken more pains to investigate had I
the kitchen been 'cooler. We did t
notice, however, a potato peeler,
which peels 25 pounds of potatoes
in a comparatively few minutes,
and a huge electric mixing machine
which was mixing a bowl of II
eggs. Nearby was an egg-beater
which was so large ana wiry mat.
After this we were led by Mr. (
Shelton, the secretary, abruptly in I
to the refrigerating plant which
turns out fioo oounds of ice every
12 hours, and stores we forget howl
many hundred pounds of meat and
fresh vegetables. Then came l
view of the swimming pooyjust
vacated by a few dozen workmen,
and a glimpse of the filtration sys

and pumps it out again three times
a day. The water in the pool

used for this purpose being meas
