Fox is already a small-scale
operator of houses to provide
outlets for his productions. Fox
films are really known better
abroad than they are in this
country and Tom Mix, leading
Fox star, has a vogue abroad
that is unbelievable. He ranks
with Chaplin and Mary Pick
ford in drawing power.
The next decade will likely
see very few individual ex-
hibitors operating theaters. Elk
pansion in this field has been
tremendous in the last five years
and in the larger cities an oper-
ator has found it necessary to
enlarge his activities or go
under.
The chain theater is rapidly
becoming recognized as not only
a stabilizer but as factor
which doubles and trebles the
market. The cnain theater &C
tually delivers the goods to
your door; as note the operat-
ing policy of the Crandall
theaters.
Universals purchase of the
RialtO >Theater here is evidence
of the gradual passing of the
individual exhibitor with one
house at his command. What
with Famous Players control
ling the majority of houses
they exhibit in and First Ma
tional also in a lesser degree,
the products of these two prin-
cipal producing organization
are forbidden to competitors,
and the lone operator cannot
stand the pressure.
The public is interested in
this battle between independent
exhibitors and the big producers
only to the extent of the bene-
fits that will accrue from the
forced competition: for benefits
they will be without a doubt.

Misses Lena and Sally Diamond, sisters of Morris and Joseph Dia- mond, now in the death house at Os- sining prison, have been visiting their brothers planning an appeal for elem ency to Gov. Alfred l.. Smith.
 The fate of the Diamonds is of east ern Connecticut interest, since Morris served a term in Brooklyn jail for threatened gunplay at the Sumner farm in North Woodstock.
 The sisters were with the brothers for an hour in the visiting cages of the death house Sunday. Within two weeks Governor Smith will hold q hearing, according to prison employees, to listen to arguments of relatives and counsel for reprieve or eommunta- tion.

Some men seize opportunity by the
forelock, while others have to be hand
cuffed and dragged to the throne of Op-
portunity. Let us now tell true
story.
A young man had to go into the
restaurant business to help out his
father. Soon his fathers restaurant
was on n paying basis, so the young
man started one of his own.
BY working hard, all hours of the
day and night, he made considerable
money, but the day came when he
loathed the sight and smell of greasy
pots, pans and plates; the endless
washing, scrubbing and wiping up. He
wanted to be cartoonist. He had
just little talent for drawing.
He went to newspaper office. with
few samples of his work under his
Pocahontas star herald., 1925-10-08

There is no secret about material
progress, good health. or even good
looks-the three goals for which every
one strives.
Anyone who will honestly observe
other people who have achieved these
goals in a moderate degree can see, as
plainly as though it were written on a
billboard, why they are successful.
The man who gets ahead in his bust
ness or his profession is almost invar-
IDLY hard worker, noted for his hon
esty, courtesy, fairness, common sense
and ability to get along with others.
Health is largely the result of mod
Grafton and regularity. Intemperance
is the cause of most ill-health. We do
not mean Overdrinking-there is little
of that now. Overeating is what breaks
men down. Hundreds of thousands in
this country unwittingly dig their
graves with their teeth. Over-eating,
combined with irregular work, sleep
exercise and recreation. is the reason
why so many men lose their power
after forty.
Good looks are mostly a matter of
good health and good thoughts. A
dyspeptic stomach produces a dyspep-
tic mind which in turn marks the face
and body This fact is inescapable.
This is old stuff, so old that we would
not have the heart to write it had we
not just finished reading a pamphlet
announcing the Introduction into the
United States for a new elixir of life.
This elixir is sponsored by some nOta-
BILE people. After using it, we are told

School Board to distribute the work
as widely as possible. Reports indi-
cate that there is less unrest and dis
content among the farmers who have
the benefit of vocational training than
elsewhere. The demand for new
schools is greater than the funds will
supply, proving genuine appreciation
for the work.
There were 2,060 white students en-
rolled and in 1924-25, these earned in
connection with their school work
$215,7l9; there were 1,0S9 negro stH-
dents enrolled, and their earnings
amounted to $S0,421. The total appro-
priations for this work in 1924
amounted to over $200OOO derived in
part from local sources, state funds,
and federal aid.

new CALOMEL
BREAKS A COLD
OVERNIGHT

When the purest kind of English
Calomel was combined with pepsin
by a smart young chemist, the
world was given an ideal mild med
icated laxative for breaking colds.
One night is long enough for this
new, mild and non-sickening pepsin-
treated calomel, called "Pepsinated
Calomel" to break the most stub
born cold. Before breakfast time it
vanishes and leaves you feeling
fresh and fine.
"Pepsinated Calomel" does not
sicken, gripe, salivate or upset you,
but it does clean you out thorough
ly, tone up the appetite, purify the
blood, stop dull headaches, relieve
stomach and bowel disorders and
make you feel like a new person.

arm. Although he was making about
$4,000 year, he was ready to sell out
and take newspaper job at a begin
ner's wage Of $40 week.
His newspaper friend heard his
story, looked at his drawings which
were very poor, and then literally kick
ed him out of the office.
Fortunately the young man did not
try again. He went back to his res
taurant, angry because he had been so
meanly treated, but determined TO
make the best of the sad situation in
which he found himself.
Inasmuch as he seemed doomed to
spend his life in disagreeable occupa-
tion, he decided to make his job as
pleasant as possible He hired anoth-
er to do the work he had been doing
behind the counter. He bought n
second restaurant and put a man in
charge.
In five years he was operating ten
restaurants.
In ten years he was operating about
four dozen, and had in his employ two
artists and four advertisement writers.
Thus, by strange Quirk Of fate, he
has a better opportunity to dabble in
drawing and cartooning than he would
ever have in newspaper Office.
Yet, if he had not been so roundly
abused when he wandered from the
path leading to opportunity he would
probably be functioning at one-hun-
dredth Of his capacity today.
This leads to the thought that an
unfortunate experience on a by-road
is often just what we need to keep us
on the main road. Experiences which
appear to be immediate disasters be-
come, in retrospect, veritable lifesav-
ers.
A swift kick, administered at just
the right time, is frequently more
rotherly act than pat on the should
er.

Anatole France, the great French
writer, tells of a young prince, who,
upon succeeding his father to the
throne, summoned his learned men and
instructed them to write a universal
history.
At the end of twenty years cara
van of twelve camels appeared, and on
the back of each camel were five hun
dred volumes.
The king looked and commanded
them to revise their work, explaining
that he could not in his allotted years,
read so much.
Twenty years later the professors
appeared with three camels. having re-
duced the total number of volumes to
fifteen hundred.

At the end of ten years they return

"YOu have not been sufficiently so,

of my life. Abridge, abrdige, if you

The permanent secretary appeared
before the palace at the end of five
years. Walking with crutches, he held
by the bride a small donkey which
bore a big book on its back.

"The king is dying"
The king, in fact, was on his death

the history of mankindr'
"Sire," replied the learned man, who
was almost as near death as himself,

What a wonderful testimonial!
If people like to read that sort of
thing, it occurs to me they should also
read about people who. have achieved
material progress and acquired good
health and good looks by merely fol-
lowing the simple rules outlined in the
earlier paragraphs of this article.
The elixir prescribed there costs
nothing, in fact, by eating less you can
save money. Also by adopting more
regular habits you can save money.
As we understand it, the patented
elixir accOmplishes artificially what
good sweat accomplishes naturally.
Therefore, the writer recommends that
his readers undertake some vigorous
exercise, regularly. They may play
golf in summer and ski at Lake Placid
in winter If this is not practical they
may NOW their Towns in summer and
shovel snow from their walks in win
ter. Either form of exercise will ac-
complish the desired result.
To paraphrase the proprietors Of
this new elixir, the followers of our
simple rules will soon realize they are
enjoying a fuller, happier life; they
will feel stimulation in every nerve
fibre and tissue of the system; they
will enjoy a new sweeping spirit of
energy and enterprise, both mental and
physical; they will acquire clearer,
healthier skin and improve general APP
pearance; and finally they will realize
that not since childhood have they
been so genuinely alive.
