Ely Trim. Tower.

The Ely High School basket ball
team went to Tower Friday. where
they annexed a victory to the tune Of
81 to 8. Ely's team work showed up
fine in this game. The ball was
brought down the floor for every
basket, all of which were Gagged at
close range.
Ely got the jump at the first
whistle and kept it up throughout the
game. During the first few minutes
both teams tried hard to score and to
keep the other from scoring. The
outcome looked doubtful. Tower
opened the scoring by a free throw.
Ely's first counter was made by Luh-
tanen a short while later. After
this Ely gained its stride and com
Pletely bewildered the Tower bows
by a fast offense. The first half
ended with Ely on the long end
of 20 to 4 count.
In the second half Ely slowed down
somewhat. The entire game wa.
rather one-sided, as Ely had the iumn
and better f1oorwork all the time
The game ended 33 to 9 in favor of
Ely. Luhtanen and Lindbeck starred
for Ely, with each n having sly
field goals to his credit. .Chiabotti
starred for Tower. This game shows
that Ely has a team that is a winner
and deserves a great deal of support.

In the good old days when the
saloons were still in their glory,
there was no absence Of loafers,
ready. TO do odd jobs around the
place of business. One Of these
loafers, already an old man, was
detailed to carry. some wood up to
the second floor of the saloon. A
set of stairs led up from the out
side to the porch on the second
floor. He succeeded in bringing
the load of wood but the few drinks
he had taken got the best Of him.
He stumbled and fell headlong
over the railing, but luckily landed
on his feet.
A passer by who witnessed the
accident inquired, Game down
pretty fast, old eh?"
The old man looked at the
stranger a while, rubbed his back,
and drawled out in a slow easy
manner, "Well, you see, I was COM

GLANDS CAN
PROLONG LIFE,

Physician Asserts Best Way Is
to Build Up Germ Re-
sistance in Body.
by DAVID NJ. CHURCH.
International News Service.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-The cycle OF
existence cannot be modified, not
even by the use of monkey glands.
DIR. John Mathewson, distinguished
English physician, is out to disprove
the monkey gland theory and he Is
authority for the statement that
medical science cannot abolish, or
even, greatly modify. the cycle OF
existence, growth, maturity and de-
cay. .~z,
Modern specifics, such as monkey
glands, radio crystals and the like.
may encourage and cheer but they
not affect longevity, according TO
the theories of Or. Matheson.
Life without disease isn't even
possible, the doctor believes.
Physical decay, which Of course Is
Responsible for senility, can be ar
rested. DIR. Matheson believes. but
not by the use Of any nostrums.
Drugs cannot prevent decay, he
states.
Longevity, the doctor thinks, may
be attained by raising the power OF
resistance of the bodiyl tissues TO
the attacks of germs and their
poisons.
Germs cannot be extirpated. but
we may make it more difficult for
them to grow and multiply" DR..
Matheson said. The greatest success
in preventative medicine Is found In
simple means, he believes. Personal
hygiene, fresh air and sunshine give
the body ample fortification against
germs, and IL coupled with whole
some food these should lead to
longevity, the doctor believes.
The statement of DR.. Matheson
that sunshine is an aid to the figth
against germs has led to consider
able worry on the part OF some Eng
lish people, who are predicting that
this will be the most unhealthy win
ter Great Britain has even seen.
This is all due to the rainy Summer
which has prevailed all over the
British Isles. The average sunshine
during the Summer was less than
two hours a day. People were un-
able to get their accustomed exer-
else because Of heavy rains. Vaca-
tions were ruined and the populas
tion Is nerve worn. 1t is freely pre-
dicted In medical circles that the
winter will be an unhealthy one,

mate this year. Harley street.-The

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Oct.
27.-Similarity of circum-
stances surrounding the death
of Myrl Mccormick, fifteen,
and Gertrude Mason, fourteen,
high school students here, and
fast friends for more than a
year, led to an Investigation by

The theory was advanced
that the deaths might have been
by pact, or. that Gertrude, In
her grief, might have ended her
life in the same manner that
Myrl did, by asphyxiation.
Gertrude's body was found
in the bathroom of her homo.

tracted for tie presentation Of the

The musical setting for this pro-

to belong essentially to this splen-
did film masterpiece. a musician
of great ability and learning has
drawn freely from the great COM
Dosers Of the world to form a
fitting harmony background to the
varying emotions presented in the
portrayal Of tho principal cllarac-
ters in tho great drama thus bring
ing out all the more strongly the
almost perfect realism Of the fllm.
This picture was made in
France by French actors under the
direction of Abel Cameo, the au-
thor. Mr.. Canoe, who Is drama
list and poet as we'll rs motion
picture director and producer. and
a Partisan only thirty years Of
ago, was one Of the first OF few
thoroughly to grasp and appreciate
fully the power Of the animated
picture. He has succeeded, and
this he gives as his aim, in making
the public SOC on the screen that
which is not vlsibly there. He has
produced a great picture In II

The committee in charge Of this
picture announces that tickets for
this production are being sold by
