THIRD GRADE

In our written Arithmetic this week we totaled the points in three lessons. The result was as follows:
 Elves, 1,139 points. Brownies, 1884 points.
 One of the Brownies was absent. John Sellen received a grade of 100 each time.
 The Elves won the Spelling con test.
 Mrs. Hedstrom sent us pretty bouquet of hyacinths. They brighten the room so much and we wish Mrs. Hedstrom to know that we appreciate them.
 We did not earn our quarter holi- day this month. However we had an examination in Arithmetic and were finished by 2:30.
 The bulbs we planted some time ago and put away in the dark, we now have in our room. One is in full bloom and is very pretty.

Bert Lytell in Sherlock Brown will be the motion picture feature at the Empress Theater Sunday. In this Metro picture Lytell plays the role of a young clerk who has ambitions to become a great detective. His efforts to solve mystery in which he be- comes involved provides one of the most amusing pictures in which this clever star has been seen.
 The picture is pure comedy and Lytell, as the shy, earnest young clerk, filled with a great ambition, makes the leading character screamingly funny.
 In the cast supporting Bert Lytell are Ora Carew, Sylvia Dreamer, De- witt Jennings, Theodore Won Eltz, Will ton Taylor, Hardee Kirkland, George Barnum and George kuwa.

WEIGHT RULED
BY D|GESTION,-
CLAIM
If Lean As a Fall Shad It's
Because Intestinal Tract
Is Too Abbreviated.
BY w. F. SULLIVAN.
international News Service.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 22.-Folks.
il you art fat-that is, over-plump
don't try to worry yourselves
thin about it: ami If you are lean
and possibly lanky, just laugh
about it-maybe you'll put on a
little fat.
This advice from the nationally.
known orthopedist, DIR. Joel r..
Goldthwait, of Boston, should bring
n little peace of mind to the many
thousands Of persons who worry
little gray streaks in the covering
of their heads over their figure and
pour thousands of dollars into the
penny scales to see how many
ounces they went up or down, as
the case may be. during the day.
Your weight, DIR. Goldthwait ex.
plains, depends upon the length or
your intestines, and that's the long
and short of the whole thing. Fat
people. for instance, have long in
testines, while the thin folks have
an abbreviated intestinal canal.
Can Regulate 1t.
The weight, however, can be
regulated to some extent by proper
eating IF fast" and "slow" foods.
He explained the former as food
that passes rapidly through the di.
gestive channel, while "slow" food
is that which digests slowly and
takes considerably longer time TO
pass through the intestinal canal.
The people with the short inteS.
tines are thin because the food has
| much less time to be absorbed as
1t passes through the canal.
mo wonder some persons get
fat" declared DIR. Goldthwait,
when their food goes through
! forty feet of intestines. In such
taken up by the body. But when
/ food goes through the system rapid
ly, as most food does, most Of
| the nourishment is lost in the
short digestive channel. To remedy
this the thin person must eat food
that goes through the intestines
slowly.
! Matter Of Diet.
ANY competent dieticiar can pre-.
scribe a menu Of foods and a mode
of living that will .'put weight on
the healthy person. In the same
way a dietician can lay down a
routine of living and eating that
will reduce flesh.''
The average length Of the intes-
final channel is about twenty feet,
DR.. Goldthwait said. but 1t varies
in the extremely thin and fat per.
sons from ten TO forty feet. respec.
lively.
The doctor then gave out a little
timely advice to the society bellies
who are affecting the slouchy atti.
tude and careless postures. This
he says, only leads to a depressed
diaphragm and a distortion of the
circulating system.
BE just as much ashamed of a
slouchy posture in standing or sit
, ting as you would be of Incorrect
grammar" the doctor advised for
the edification of the girls.

By international News Service.

LONDON, Oct. '22.-"Sex is not q
foul cellar in the houses Of our

in an amazingly frank paper which
he read before the English Confer
ence of Modern Churchmen.
In the past both good and bad
people believed that sexual process

DIR. White said. ''But," he con.
tinued. ':sex is not foul cellar In

contrary, it is clear that sex is the
central force in the heightening OF
human character.
so far from being a degrading
influence, It IS that which beauti-
fies human life at every stage, es.
peciaIly at the period of puberty,
when manly and womanly, qualities
blossom into the full independence

The six-cylinder valve-inhead en-
CINE, which has probably brought more
enduring fame to Buick than any other
unit of its construction, has been so
re-designed that it actually yields 80
per cent more power and speed of

feed fabrication, removable heads,
larger valves, heavier crank and cam
shafts, greater piston displacement and

-Four Wheel Brakes.
The extension to all four wheels
of the highly successful Buick external
brakes is q feature that, it is an.
nounced, has been in process of de-
velopment for a period of years and
recently subjected TO more than 1JO,-
600 miles of hard and varied road
tests. These brakes enable the car
to be brought to standstill much
more quickly and smoothly thus af-
fording an added factor of safety in

brakes are operated by light pres

Another outstanding factor is the
improved fabrication of the engine.
There are new cup-top push rods and
the rocker arms, valve stems and
springs, connecting road bearings are
all automatically fabricated.
Fourteen Body Models.
The foregoing are merely 1.-THE high
spots" in the 1924 Buick, the minor
improvements and refinements of the
line being, in the aggregate. scarcely
less interesting and epochal. And
through it all basic Buick ideas OF
construction have been rigidly adhered
to. amplified marvelously, but in no
instance discarded.
OF the fourteen body models of the
line, ten are mounted on the six
cylinder chassis and four on the four.
cylinder chassis.
OF the six-cylinder body models
there are two interesting departures
from the 1923 line, five-passenger
sedan to be known as the "double
service" and five-passonger broug-
ham. The former is painted a dur
able black and the interior is lined
and upholstered in easily renovated
material. The result is a car that
can be subjected TO the toughest US
ages of business and at the same time
quickly adaptable to social purposes.

designed crown tenders, a more effec-
tive wcather-proof windshield strip,
operating instruments conforming in
design to the headlamps, flush ventila-

and better looking gasoline tank.
Longer Wheel Base.
1t will next be noted that two to
four-inch longer wheel base on the six
cylinder chassis has created more room
in both the front and rear compart-
ments, thus affording greater comfort
to both driver and passenger. and
coupled with an improved spring sus-
pension. easier riding qualities also,
