FIT TO WIN"
TO Be SHOWN
AGAIN TONIGHT
Wonderful Government Picture which
Made Great Hit Yesterday Is
Again Repeated.

The American public is rapidly
awakening to the fact that the virility
of It's manhood and womanhood Is SER
iously threatened by the women of the
streets and their inevitable carollary,
Veneral or Social Disease.
Facts of vital interest are dramatic
ally revealed in FIT to VIM" the COM
pelling motion picture for men, which
all Maysville is talking about having
made much a hit yesterday and which
is repeated today, afternoon for wo-
men and evening for men.
Originally produced by order Of the
Surgeon General Of the United States
Army for use in army camps, this
frank portrayal of the sorriest of all
human tragedies has been released for
the civilian public through the United
States Public Health Service.
The story, written and directed by
Lieutenant E. H. Griffith, formerly Mo-
tion Picture Director for Thomas A.
Edison, has already had profound ef-
feet on the Governments fearless cam
paign against social diseases.
Many there are who still scoff at the
possibility of acquiring dangerous dis
eases through perinicious indulgence
Many there are who still weakly
argue for a double standard of morals
for men and women. But few of the
many hundreds of thousands of civil
ians who have seen Eft to Win" re-
tain their old beliefs.
The picture intimately reveals the
experience of five typical Americans,
plucked from their several environ
ments by the demands of war, and
placed on an equal footing in the
Army. The wealthy idler; the sport
who knows it all, and plays with fire;
the country boy whose lack of training
and experience proves his undoing; a
booze befuddled pugilist whose train
