'WORMWOOD" The NEXT
FEATURE FILM AT NIXON

The william K. Fox feature produce
ton of ''Wormwood," Marie Corellfs
masterpiece, featuring Ethel Kauff-
man and a cast of international fame,
will be the feature film offering at the
Nixon next Thursday night.
"Wornrwood" is q picture play
which sets a high standard even when
it is considered that it is one of the
remarkable productions of the Fox
Film Corporations studios, which
have given us such noteworthy screen
dramas as "A Fool There Was" "The
Clemencau Case" Children Of the
Ghetto' and others much too numer-
Gus and memorable to need special
mention. In the first place the story,
based on Marie Corelli's famous novel
and play, is strikingly dramatic and
powerful and holds with a real grip
from start to finish. Then, too, the
acting and mounting of ''Wormwood"
is above praise. Sheldon, ia fact, has
a photoplay Jared better at the hands
of it's producers in this respect than
"Wormwood." The Point Neuf bridge
at night, and a portion of Notre Dame
Cathedral, both marvels of realism,
are especially worthy of notice. The
lighting and photography in both
scenes are equisite examples of how
the art of cinematograph has pro-
gressed since the first halting, flicker
ing pictures were projected on the
screen.
Its producers herald the cast of
''Wormwood with that much abused
expression "all star cast" but in the
present case this praise is not extrava-

HEALTH BOARDS OF EIGHT
STATES TO MEET IN UTAH

A meeting of the delegates from the
boards Of health from Nevada, Califor-
MIA, Oregon, Washington, Montana,
Idaho, Wyoming and Utah has been
called by DIR. Rupert Blue, surgeon
general of the public health for the
United States, to be held at Salt Lake
City en- Wednesday, February 2, and
Or. S. l.. Lee of this city will leave
here on the 3lst to be in attendance
as the representative from Nevada.
The meeting will be presided over by
DIR. Blue and number of the federal
officials will also be in attendance.
The purpose of the meeting is the
discussion of the rabid coyote situa-
tion in the western states with the fed
eral officers, and as it is a recognized
fact that no one state, or collection
of states will be able TO handle the sit
uation without the aid of the federal
government, it is very probable that
some definite steps will be taken along
that line-Carson Appeal.

MAMMOTH LoAvEs OF BREAD
Those Baked by French People Are
From Four to Five, or at Times
Even Six Feet In Length.

The biggest loaves Of bread baked to
be eaten are those made in France
and Italy. In the case Of the pipe
bread of the latter country, the loaves
are between two and three feet In
length, and occasionally even longer ;
while the French people make their
loaves In the shape Of very long rolls
of bread, ranging from four to FIVE
feet, and In few instances even to
six feet in length.
Bread in Paris is distributed almost
exclusively by women. These go to
the various bakehouses at 80 a. m.
and spend about an hour brushing
the long loaves with special brushes.
When their loaf is cleaned Of grit and
dust the porteuse de pain goes round
to the customers.
Customers who live In fats have
their loaves propped up against the
door of their apartment. Shopkeep-
ers, restaurateurs and other custom
ers, who have entrances to their prem
ises in the street, find their portion OF
the staff Of life leaning against the
front door when they take down the
shutters. The wages Of these bread
carriers vary from so to go cents
day, their work being generally over
at ten or twelve o'clock in the morn
ng
