Vaccine SCIENTISTS
SCI. ELIXIR OF LIFE
Use of Salt in Solution Being
Advocated Now AS Cure for
That Tired Feeling

LONDON. February 12.-Scien-
lists having failed to find the elixir
of life or the fountain Of youth are
now seeking the next best thing
vaccine that will do away with
WEAKNESS and enable a person 70
go through all forms of eXertion
without fatigue. The search, ae-
cording to Sir Robert Armstrong
Jones, is going on in the United
States, Italy and the United King
dom.
Grille and Cannon are leading the
movement in America and Mosso IN
Italy, he said. They are expert
menting with tired animals. They
are basing their experiments. on the
medical fact that the human body
invariably creates its own anti
toxins when poison enters the
blood. Even if the fatigue-hghting
vaccine is found it still will be me-
eessary for man to sleep, said Sir
Robert. Indeed, the alienation
would be conducive to slumber.
Pending the discovery Of the

toxin various methods to avoid that
tired feeling are being advocated.
One is the use of salt in solution
as beverage. Experiments upon
miners have shown that their eff
ficiency is increased 20 percent by
the daily use of salt, a recent con-
vention in London was informed by
Professor X. Neville-Moss
Laborious work in a hot, dry tenn
perature, Professor Moss explained
causes the worker to perspire freely
and leads him to drinking large
quantities of water. This, said Pro-
fessor Moss, produces cramps, ia
tigue and clogging of the kidneys.
To prevent water poisoning,
miners undergoing the tests in this
country were given solution of salt
in water do balance the loss of salt
by perspiration. AS a result the
miners dug more coal, their vigor
was maintained throughout the day,
they were no longer bothered with
cramps and they slept more soundly.
Professor Moss said the best solu-
ton of salt to use is one containing
go percent sodium chloride and 40
percent potassium chloride.

Getting Too Fat?
Try This Reduce

People who don't grow too fat
are the fortunate exception. But if
you find the fat accommodating or al
ready cumbersome, you will be wise
to follow this suggestion, which is
endorsed by thousands of people
VINO know. Ask your druggist for
A,armola Prescription Tablets and
io!loW directions. One dollars is the
price the world over. Get them from
your own druggist or send price di-

PETER CLARK FARLANE'S
NOVEL AT RYLANDER WED.

A story decidedly ont of the or
binary is said to be. dramatically
told in Held to Answer" the pic
ture at the Rylander on Wednes-
day. Peter Clark MacFarlana, one
of the best-liked authors of the day,
has never written anything more
thrilling than this drama of a
fighting minister, an actress and
the criminal courts. He has taken
as his central character 3 young ac-
tor who deserts the stage to preach
the word of God and serve human
ity in a small western city. An az
tress friend follows him, ana
through jealousy, manages to-have
him accused Of theft.
Mr.. Mae Farlane has woven =
tale that is said to hold one spell
bound, and for this reason it is no
wonder that the novel enjoyed the
largest sale Of any book ever pub
lished in america. Included in the
cast are House Peters, Grace Carlyle
James Morrison, Bull Montana,
Lydia Knott and others. On the
same program is a comedy, Bride

Ruth. of the Range"

onerift Silent" Smith, chaling
under the lull in the business OF
maintaining law and order since
Robert Remington rescue, sprang
eagerly to his feet when he heard
a horse. galloping down the road.
WITHOUT stopping TO dismount, the
rider, who was Captain X, shouted,
Quick, get your men and go to
The Remington ranch! Stain is up
TO mischief thcre-drive him off"
Thus it happened that just as
Stains burly deputy, posing as the
owner of the lava pit, was about to
slip handouts on Bruce Burton, he
was interrupted by the arrival of
Smith. Warned by their guard of
the sheriffs approach, the men
made dash at Timothy Hawkins,
hoping TO at least take prisoner the
only available owner of the pit.
Bruce rushed to Hawkins rescue,
and Ruth Remington, nothing
loathe to fight in Defense put in
several forceful blows. The sheriff
entering then, put an end to the
struggle, and, order once more re
stored, the interrupted sale was
finally concluded
The reason Captain X, though
employed by Remington's personal
enemy, Peter Van Dyke, assisted
Remington at every opportunity,
was because the inventor of Fuelite
shared the secret of Captain KS
past. He was native OF Mahalla,
an island, the people OF which wor-
shipped a sacred lava pit In an
attempt to preserve the sanctity of
the pit in America, they took Ezra
Hawkins, Timothy's brother and
part owner, a prisoner. Captain X
had been sent TO America by the
High Priest to protect their relig-
ious interest in the pit.
Captain X, however, believed
that the lava should be put to prac-
teal use and not worshipped, and,
therefore, suggested that he take
Ruth and Bruce to Mahalla. His
people still trust him and he will
be able to effect the escape OF
Hawkins.
So little time had they TO catch
the boat that Judith, clever spy
though she was and equipped with
high-speed airplane, almost failed
10 get news of this unexpected de-
yelopment to her employers, the
Olympus Coal Company. They
sent Slim Morgan to outwit the
Remington outfit and bIS Ezra.

Two weeks later saw new arrivals
on the dreamy, shadowy island of
Mahaila, where the ruins of mighty.

In the temple she demanded,
audience with the High Priest and
went straight to the point
Il have been informed that Ezra,
Hawkins is here I must see him
at once!" Ruth Remington de-!
manded somewhat imperiously.
What is your business with
him?" the High Priest asked.

America 1t is very essential that

admitted.
THAT can never be-" the High
Priest replied firmly. 1--WE hold
him here as a guarantee of the
sanctity of the lava pit in America"
Ruth then realized the situation
and left in despair. Captain x,
unseen by Ruth, had been a listener
to the conversation and, as she
went out, managed to get close
enough to whisper the warning, ct
was unwise to say you knew the
prisoner. Return to the hotel ana

Ruth's hopes revived and she
Joined Bruce in the beautiful garden
in the, inn courtyard, Bruce HAVING
been frantically searching Tor his
entirely too independent but never
theless adorable fiancee.
In the temple it was sometime
before Captain X had an oppor-
tunity to get to Ezra Hawkins IN
his dark tomb. He conducted inc
bewildered American through Sc
cret passages and directed him TO
90 to the hotel and ask for MISS
Remington, who would help him.
Hawkins knew nothing except
that he was free and accordingly
when Morgan intercepted him on
his way to the hotel, he eagerly
listened to the coal company Sc
.ret agent, who promised him every
protection. All Hawkins wanted
was 10 get away from the accursed
island. -.
Il was not long before Hawkins
disappearance was discovered IN
the temple.
This is the work of the Ameri-
can girl" decided the High Priest.
.We must find her at once" and he
sent his servants to the hotel TO
bring her to him at once.
They found Ruth and Bruce in
the courtyard, anxiously awaiting
the coming of Hawkins, and bore
down upon them menacingly.
Bruce stepped between Ruth and
the leader
This is the work of the Ameri-
can girl" the leader said 1T IS
dangerous to interfere in native at
fairs"
He tried to push Bruce aside and
| got swipe on the jaw for his
| pains. Then pandemonium broke
! loose. Hotel guests and natives
| joined in the fight no one knowing
| what it was about but welcoming
a LITTLE excitement. Bruce was the
centers Of the storm. His Clothing
was torn 10 shreds--tiien terrific
blow on the head knocked him in
sensible. Ruth was finally dragged,
/ lighting and protesting, to the
temple and taken before the High
! Priest.
Ruth inwardly quailed before the
wildness in his eyes as he de-
manded, What have you done with
Ezra Hawllins?"
That was exactly what Ruth
wanted to know-what had become
! OF the man so important in the af-
fairs of her father? She could not
answer the question-not if her life
depended on it. And it so hap
pened that her life did depend on
/ her answering the question.
Beneath the temple was a saeri-
fetal cell from whose yawning
depths no victim had ever returned.
In it was the lava pit-the sacred
( oool-which was used to decide the
fate of their hapless victims.

Ruth's wrists in vice-like grip

Health
Hints
by the
Father of
Physical
Culture

1t is generally believed that The
normal eye has perfect sight all
the time.
1t has been compared to q per-
feet machine which is always in
good working order. No matter
what the object regarded may be,
whether new. strange or familiar,
whether the light is good or i'm
perfect, whether the SURROUNDINGS
are pleasant or disagreeable, ORTIZ,
/odoXy teaches that the normal eye
is always perfect. Even under
conditions of nerve strain and bod
lily disease, the normal eye is ex-
pected to have perfect sight always.
This idea is very far from the
truth. Thirty years of special
study given to the retraction of the
eye have proven that the normal .
eye has imperfect sight most OF the
time. 1t is unusual, in fact, to
ind, persons who can maintain
perfect sight continuously for long
er than a few minutes even under
the most favorable conditions. OF
twenty thousand school children
more than half had normal eyes
with perfect sight, but not one of
thcm had perfect sight in each
eye every day. The sight OF
many OF them might sbe good mi

The reading of distant small

fui in preventing the imperfect
sight of the normal eye, as it
lends to prevent strain in looking
at unfamiliar objects. Not only
the Snellen eye chart, but a calen-
dar, sign with small letters, or
even a single small letter, may be
used in practice,
