HEALTH TALKS

my opinion, should be prohibited IN
high schools or other institutions
for boys Who have not yet attained
their growth or who are still grow
ing rapidly, for such boys cannot
safely train in a few weeks, as is
carelessly attempted IN too many
schools, without seriously endan-
gering their hearts, which are al
ready taxed to keep pace with the
rapid growth. Neither is mara
thon race q proper thing for grow
ing boys. The gymnasium and
field games and the shorter tracks
events are the kind of athletics for
school boys. Football is college
mans game.
A mans wind depends largely on
the condition of his heart. When
he finds himself growing quickly
breathless or short of breath on
exertion it is time for him to seek
medical attention. Anyone who
can't hold his breath, while sitting
at rest, for 40 seconds by the watch,
ought to visit his doctor for Q gen

"A new comedy starring Douglas MacLean always is an interesting event in flmdom, but when that
 comedy is One Minute which was shown at the Coliseum Theater last night it's worth talking about
 anywhere It is on tonight and mati- nee Saturday. In his latest Para mount-Ince production, Mir. MacLean has tho part of small town druggist who battles with a syndicate headed

How he beats the trust and how he wins the girl of his choice, are ad- mirabay brought out in this picturiza- ton of Fred Jackson's celebrated stage farce. The supporting com. pany, headed by Marian De Beck, a charming leading woman, proved ex- ceptionally capable in bringing out the contrasting elements of the story. The picture was directed by Jack Nelson under MT. |Ince's supervision.
