Indoor Life Makes Fat
TRY OIL OF KOREIN TO KEEP
WEIGHT DOWN, OR TO RE-
DUCE SUPERFLUOUS


People who are confined within doors
and who are deprived of fresh, invigor-
ating air and exercise must take pre-
eau don to guard against over-stout-
ness, as fat acquired by indoor life is
unhealthy and a danger to the vital
organs of the body. Lack of exercise
i'm the fresh air is said to weaken the
oxygen carrying power of the blood
so that 1t is unable to produce strong
muscles and vitality and the formation
of unsightly and unhealthy fat is the
result.
If you are is or 20 pounds above nor
NAL weight you are daily drawing on
your reserve strength and are constant
ly lowering your vitality by carrying
this excess burden. Any persons who
are satisfied in their own mind that
they are too stout are advised to go to
a good druggist and get box of oil Of
korein capsules. and take one after
each meal and one just before retiring
at night.
Even a few days treatment has been
reported to show a noticeable reduction
in weight. improved digestion and a re-
turn of the old energy; footsteps be-
come lighter and the skin less flabby
in appearance as supernuous fat disap-
pears.
Oil of korein is inexpensive, cannot
injure, and helps the digestion. Any
person who wants to reduce Is or 20
pounds is advised to give this treatment

The PhotopIay, by Hugo Munsterberg.
Cd. Appleton & Co., New York,
1.00.)
Professor Munsterberg is an emil
nent psychologist and scholar, and it is
extremely interesting to read what he
has to say on the psychology of the
movies. The hold which the motion
picture has on the public to-day makes
a study from the psychological stand
point of unusual timeliness. A rough
estimate places at $4,000 the number
of moving picture theaters in America
and 1t has likewise been estimated,
more or less correctly, that 100000
people visit the movies daily. We do
not realize, perhaps, the extent to
which we have become slaves to the
habit.
The many advantages which the
moving picture possesses over the
spoken drama are emphasized and our
mental and emotional attitude toward
the scenes which are depicted before
our eyes is carefully analyzed and in
Vestigated, with unquestionably in
structive results. The Closeup" and
the "cut-back", devices which are
never given a second thought by the
Il SIdBS inONl0 1dIlt are really WneH
one thinks it over, the visual repre-
sentation of what would on the stage
be the work of the mind. The "close-
up" saves us the trouble of employing
voluntary attention, while the cut
back saves our memory and imagi-
nation from becoming wearied with
too much work. In the words of
Professor Munsterberg. "the act which
in the ordinary theater would go on in
our mind alone is in the photoplay
projected into the pictures themselves.
1t is as If reality has lost its own con-
tinuous connection and become shaped
by the demands of our soul"
The photoplay portrays mems fan
cies and women's aspirations, chill
dren's dreams and workmen's hopes.
The emotions are carefully portrayed,
both those of the players and those of
tho audience. 1t is an absorbing study,
this of the psychology of the photo
play, and capably handled by the
famous Harvard professor.

This is masque, the Shakespeare
Tercentenary Masque, endorsed by the
Drama League of America. 1t was
written in memory of the great Bard
of Avon and in its every word and
rhyme breathes forth reminders, con-
cretely and by suggestion, of the great
playwright. The first performance of
this masque will be given in the City
College of New York stadium on
May 23, in which several thousand
New York citizens will take part in
conjunction with a body of actors of
national repute.
The story of the masque is briefly
this: Prospero, the father of Miranda,
and great magician, plans the down
fall of the god SeteboS, a com mbination
tiger and toad of fearful size, who
holds captive the sprite Ariel. Ariel
is released by the power of Prospero,
and SycoraX and Caliban, her offspring
by Setebos, are tormented by Ariel and
her fellow-spirits, who league with
Prospero for the eventual raising into
power of the lady Miranda. Prospero
finds his art in the yellow sands of
time, while the priests of Setebos, who
are Lust, War and Death, conspire
against Prospero and Ariel.
The plot is wonderful in conception
and will be a stupendous undertaking,
but impreSsiVely spectacular. Pageant
groups representing the successive
stages of Egyptian, Grecian and Ro-
man dramatic art; dramatic offerings
representative of the Middle Age of
Germany, France, Spain and Italy, in
cluding pantomime scene in heaven,
earth and hell, the splendor of me-
dieval French scene, and light
hearted dramatic ScherZo. full of
knavery and romantic love; the folk
Of hot nd
many other scenes contribute to the
Splendor of the whole. Familiar
Shakespearean characters have a part
in the masque, including Mark Antony
and Cleopatra, Troilus and Cressida,
Brutus, Caesars ghost, Falstaff, Ham
let, Romeo and Juliet, Lorenzo and
Jessica. Finally the masks of comedy
and tragedy open massive jaws and
there tumble out all the dramatists,
poets inventors and writer's of all
ages and pass in review before the
audience, called forth by the spirit of
time-among them Shakespeare him
self, modestly. He takes the throne
formerly occupied by Prospero, and
after short speech repeats his own
undying words, I'VE are such stuff as
dreams are made on; and our little life
is rounded with sleep" Climax and

NAN SUFF0CATED IN
GRANITE HOUSE FIRE

stranger by the name Of Thomas
Mcgowan lost his life in a fire at
the Granite House Tuesday morning,
through suffocalicn. He had walked
from Georgetown and engaged room
Monday evening. Nothing further
was thought of him and when the
rest of the boarders made their exit
from the burning bu lding and he did
not put in an Appearance, a search
OF his room was made. His body was
found, lying face downward on the
floor, and the supposi'icn is that he
made an effort to leave the room but
was overcome by the dense smoke
which pervaded the building. From
papers found on the body, the poor
fellow was mendicant, being par
tiallly paralyZed ard hard of hearing
He was As years of age. Nothing be-
ing known of relatives he was bur-
led at tie expense of the county
Tuesday morning.
The fire which re suited in the poor
fellows tragic dea h was discovered
at 1;3O i'm the morning by Mrs. Tony
Andreatta, proprie tress of the Gran
lite House. She was awakened by
the smoke which entered her room
and upon investigation found the kit
chen and dining room enveCoped in
flames. She gave the alarm and the
family and boarders dressed and
removed their personal belongings to
a place of safety. The fire having
gained rapid headway, it was impos-
sible to extingufsh it without the aid
OF the fire-fighting apparatus and
the hose cart and hook and ladder
truck were rushed 20 the scene. Two
streams of water were played ON the
flames and tie fire was soon under
control. The kitchen, dining room and
a pod'tion of tie hallway were COM
pletely wrecked by the fire and both
the upstairs and downstairs were
damaged conside ably by water. The
loss of furniture snd damage to the
building will total close to $1,000.
There Is $4,000 insurance ON tine
building and contents.
The origin of the f ne is mystery,
as there was no fire In the kitchen
range at the time and everyone about
the place was in bed and asleep.

THANK SEWING

Today is the day set apart for
Thanksgiving, and prayer. To the con-
templative mind, the day marks an
important epoch N our state and ma
tion's history.
The day should be fully celebrated,
because it marks AN era in our his
tory. where wise and profound conn-
sci has kept us out of the thraldpm
of war. when nearly the whole world
is aflame with that relentless spirit.
We should return thanks to an Am
erdcan president end congress, by
whose wise legisl ton, has preserv-
ed the country from harm, when
nearly the entire of Europe is engulf-
ed in devastating war.
We should also Re thankful that
a wise consti.uer cy, by their vote,
have decreed that the peaceful pol-
Icy so far successful, will be contin-
ued, and the youth OF the land pre-
served from useless bloodshed and
prepared to fill an important niche in
their country's life.
We should also be thankful for our
bountdful crops Of all kinds, and the
great incentive crea'ed in the min
ing life. And finalfy we should be
thankful that the grim reaper has
spared US another year of health and
vigor.
