GOOD ADVICE FOR THIN PEOPLE
I'D certainly give most anything TO
be able TO gain a few pounds and stay
that way" declare many thin men and
women. Such a result is usually not
impossible despite past failures. Most
thin people are victims of mal-nutri-
lion. a condition which prevents the
fatty elements Of food from being
taken up by the blood as they are
when the powers Of nutrition are nor
NAL. Instead Of getting into the blood
much of the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce q healthy, normal amount Of fat
the flesh making food elements must
be so prepared in the digestive pro-
cesses that the blood will accept and
distribute them throughout the body.

T-[HE NAKED TRuTH.

The careful attention to detail
which characterized the production of
present day motion picture successes
is we'll illustrated by George kleine's
five.part masterpiece, 1.-THE Naked
Truth" which will be shown at the
Grand Theatre Saturday.
"The Naked Truth is story OF ar
fist life in Paris, and in order that
no Earring note might tntrude itself
upon the harmony of the finished pic
ture, the players who were selected
to portray artist parts were actually
sent to live for several weeks in the
Latin Quarter. Furthermore, they
were we'll instructed and thoroughly
coached by some of the leading paint
ers and sculptors of Rome and Paris,
and the paintings used as properties
are real works of art, the products OF
artists OF worldwide reputation. The
Cines Company OF Rome, who made
the picture for Mr.. Kleine, spent
time, care and money on all the little
details involved in producing the fea-
ture, layishing attention upon many
points which are slipped over" by
the ordinary producer. That Is one
OF the reasons why 1.-THE Naked
Truth" has been acclaimed by picture
lovers as "last word" in motion pic
ture making.
