The human body is worth more to its
owner than is a COW or an automoblle,
thinks the State Department of Health,
and then it wonders why SO many men
are more careless in the upkeep of their
bodies than in the upkeep Of their chat

knows what his assets and liabilities are.
An automobile owner has an expert go
over the parts of the car to keep 1t IN
condition and to detect leakage and
breakage. But comparatively few men
spend 80 minutes a year in undergoing a
physical examination to determine their
physical assets and liabilities.
The results of the draft examinations
Indicate the need of an occasional ac-
counting in the realm of health. Statis-
tics show, too. that the diseases OF ola
age are creeping down into middle life
and taking men off when they ought to be
most effective. 1t is estimated that 400
900 persons die annually from diseases
which in most cases could be prevented
and in practically all cases could be post
poned. In 1874, organic heart disease sur
passed tuberculosis in death rate. Can
Ger kills no less than $4,000 Americans
annually. Brights disease takes away
an even larger group The tragedy of /,
all is that with a little moro care a little
better realization Of the danger, a little
wider application of the principles OF eff
cient management TO the field of bodily
control, much Of this destruction Of life
could be avoided.

master corps.
Three classes of trucks have been
provided. Glass AA with 3-4-ton CapaC-
ity was the last to be worked out by
the 200 motor engineers who contrib
uted many new ideas. Manufacture
Of the Glass B truck, having n rated
capacity of three tons, already has
started after exhaustive tests of the
sample cars. Three sample trucks of
the Glass A variety, capacity of l 1-2
tons now are being tested. One let

work, some will be used by the post
Office department and thousands will
be turned over to civilian uses by the
government when the war is won
All three trucks are identical except
in size. to facilitate production and re-
pair. An important feature will be the
accessibility Of mechanical parts. any
one of which can be reached without
removing another Headlights will be
attached to the radiator instead of the
dashboard or mudguards Special bod

THEATRE ATTRACTIONS
GENERAL FILMpoM NEWS

by announcing that he will change the name of his favorite horse from Fritz to one more truly American, for he is a true American horse, and stands ready and willing at any time to lead a cavalry charge in defense of the Red, White and Blue. He was unfortunate in his early youth in having bestowed upon him a name that recent interna- = tional vents, over which he has no con- trol, have made distasteful and unbear- able for any self-respecting Yankee equine.
 Fritz was born on an American ranch, of honest Western cayuse par ents, and he can kick a hole through any one who intimates that he is not against the Germans root and branch. He neighs and does double back sunfish buck every time he thinks of his Teutonic name
 Hart has not yet decided what he will call his pet in the future. Per- haps he will rename him after one of our valiant army officers. or. again, he may leave it to the patriotic screen admirers of the horse to settle the question.

"RAMONA" UNIQUE FEATURE
 COMES TO COLISEUM TONIGHT

Occupying an unique position in the amusement world because of the novel character of the performance, which is a combined cinema, operatic specta- tacIe, Ramona will have special claim for interest of local theatre-go CTS when it is presented at the Coli scum tonight Only one show will be given and that at o'clock.
 The dramatic version of Helen Hunt Jackson's widely read story of the gov ernments ill-treatment of the Mission Indians of California and of the TO- nance of Alessandro, the aborgine, for Ramona, the half breed, possesses great fascination for the theatre goers of every class and creed with the result that it is enjoying prosperity as one of the solid, substantial successes of the season.
 Ramona" has the color gaiety, and innocent abandon of the Indian fies- tas; the serene life of period when aristocracy was based on true worth. the military flavor that had fingered from the days of the conquistadores; the courtlness of the Dons which still permeate the social amenities; the struggle between the Mission fathers and the political rulers: the sweet in- fluence of the Franciscan padres; the melancholy wane of their dominance; the picturesque mingling of Castillians, Indians, cowled priests, sea -faring ad- venturers and American settlers; the omnibus shadows cast on a dying era by the dawn of new one: and the rugged grandeur of California scenery.

FRIENDLY SUIT STARTED
 TO DECIDE LAWS LEGALITY

A friendly suit was started in the District Court late yesterday after noon to decide the legality of the fish hatcheries bill passed by the last Legislature and not delivered to the Governor for signature, until after the adjournment of the session of the Legislature. The suit was started by the Territory of Alaska and the Dispatch Publishing com pany, asking for a peremptory writ of mandamus to compel Territorial Treasurer Walstein G. Smith to pay $11 stationery bill. The stationery was ordered by the Board of Fish Commissioners appointed by the Gov ernor, under the provisions of the bill. with the understanding that the treasurer would refuse to pay the voucher until the decision had been secured from the court. s
 The writ was granted late yester- day afternoon by Judge R. w. Jen- hings and was made returnable next Monday, at which time the treasurer will be called upon to show cause why he has refused to pay the bill.
