WESTERN ROMANCE
IS WELL PICTURED

Real western romance, combined
with friendship of sort which
made Damon and Pythias famous
serves to make one of the best pie
lures seen at the Rylander theater
in some weeks.
Charles Jones, the .brOnco-bust-
ing screen star, has the leading role
in this William Fox version of the
story, mot A Drum Was Heard .
by Ben Ames Williams. Betty
Bouton, as the western girl with
an eastern education, loved by two
men who are inseparable compan-
ions, has one of the best, if not thl
greatest part of her enviable career
The picture was directed by vii
liam Wellman, who deserves no lit
| tie credit for his handling of thu
western atmosphere. He has caugh
the spirit Of the plains that vii
liams wrote into his story anc
Jones, typical westerner that he is
carries it through.
Others in the cast who do excel
lent work are Frank Compeau
Rhody Halfway at PREGNANT, VII
liam Scott, and Micky McBain
The picture is without dull mo
ment. It's action will appeal t
iyoung and old and to them all, it
story of great friendship will pre-
sent a worthwhile moral along wit
its entertainment.

some reliable shop might send out
their buyer to secure some article
which they could offer as a real bar
gain to their customers. By Offering
to buy in quantity a wise buyer
might get 81 price on a s. article

certainty of the kinds of food, she
will take. However, this being 9
task to most of US, we will be glad
to learn that there are ways of re-
ducing with the very air that we
breathe. A pleasant thought, is 1t
not. No more strenuous dieting.
II made a statement moment ago
that we can reduce with the very air
that we breathe. I will add to that
now that we can also increase the
! weight with the air that we breathe,
but-we have to breathe correctly.
And how many people do? Again
we find the natural inclination today
is to neglect so important thing as
deep breathing. But-were we to
understand just how much good
health is to be had thru our lungs,
and in keeping them in good con-
ditfon, we would take time to over
come the tendency to neglect.
when we realize how important
it is to vitality, we will surely, for
that alone, learn to breathe cor
rectly. And then when we supple
ment the vitality with the fresh good
looks that come with it, have we
not a double incentive. Try this.
you are quite fatigued (about 4
o'clock in the afternoonD, and you
feel you just cannot continue with
the work before you, throw it aside
for few minutes. Close your eyes,
and visualize some beautiful music,
or anything that particularly pleases
you, throw back your head, stand
straight, throw your shoulders back
as far as you can, and then inhale,
very slowly, but deeply, filling your
lungs with natures greatest blessing,
fresh air. What it is has little dust
with it, from the Industrial plants,
nature too has provided for that, by
placing the tiny hairs in your
nostrils, to purify the air, before it
reaches your lungs.
Breathe that way for at least five
minutes. You haven't the time? Take
the time, friends, for it will increase
your efficiency at a time when 1t is
at low ebb, and with increased eff
fciency, you can readily make up
the time you have spent. 1t will
bring you very large returns not
only for yourself, but If are en-
