Girl on Desert
Isle Is Leading
Figure in Movie

Posed on the parapet of 4 coun-
trv mansion. Lorraine Livingstone,
was about to be dashed to the
ground by q huge gorilla that had
her in its grasp. Summoning her
strange power over animals she
forced the beast to drop her on the
ledge, the animal falling TO its
death a moment later.
As a feminine version of Tarzan
the story in which this incident ap-
pears will be shown at the Palace
theater commencing tonight. 1t is
called Lorraine Of the Lions,' a
Universal-Jewel production. with
Norman Kerry as star and Patsy
Ruth Miller opposite him.
The girl is shipwrecked on a
deserted isle at the age Of seven.

beasts rs her only companions, un-
til she is rescued - years later.
The girls experiences on the South
Sea island with her galaxy of pets
including 90 lions, two tigers, a gor-
lila and 80 monkeys, make an inter
esting narrative.
But when she takes the gorilla
back to civilization with her she
runs into a series Of exciting adven
lures which surpass even her thrill
ing jungle life. The animal shows
strange tinge of jealousy and re-
fuses to allow the girl to have hu-
man companions.
Norman Kerry plays the part Of
the girls lover while Patsy Ruth
Miller takes the title role. The
story which was written by Isadore
Bernstein was directed by Edward
Sedgwick. Others in the east are
Fred Humes, Joseph j. Bowling,

Fruit in Orange Shells.
By BRIGGS.

Prepare a mixture of any desired
fruit Remove the rind carefully from
sufficient oranges cutting carefully so
as to preserve the shape. Arrange
each half as a basket for the fruit
mixture. Cut the orange pulp in cubes
and combine with the original fruit
mixture. A good combination is as
follows: Orange cubes, banana slices;
pineapple shreds and mareschino
cherries. The fruit mixture should be
made very carefully so as to keep the
flavor and degree of sweetness al
ways in mind. Fill the orange shells
with the fruit mixture and arrange
each serving on a border of green
leaves.

LOGAN, w. Va.
In the 3Oth chapter of Genesis
we are tod that Reuben went In the

mandrakes in the field and brought
them to his mother Leah. Then
Rachel said, "Give me, l pray thee,
of thy sons maDdrakes.
What are mandrakes ana "nat
does this mean?
Answer-The mandrake is a plant
native to the Mediterranean regions
which was believed in former times
to be a remedy for barrenness.
Rachel, who was earnestly desirous
of bearing children, asked for the
mandrakes in order that she might
present her husband Jacob with
child and heir.

How do you explain the constant

Nutrition NUGGETS.

If you wish to reduce your diet TO
the very newest terms compatible
with good health. you might try a
day beginning with an orange plus
graham bread and butter. with more
graham bread and butter and sliced
tomatoes for luncheon. and an eve
ming meal OF graham bread and milk.
Not that 1t would be wise to keep TO
so restricted a diet for a length of
time. 1t is an advantage. however.
to know on just how little one may
subsist If necessary.
Don't forget that your body builds
itself from the food that you eat. 1t
is especially desirable to remember
this when YOU are deciding as to
whether or not you will be a com.
plete vegetarian. Denied food be-
yond a certain point, the body begins
to feed upon itself. which Is one an
swer to the vegetarian. Next time
YOU find yourself growing emaciated
after an illness, remember that this Is
one reason for it. Your body has to
consume the needed tissue already
stored up.
1t begins to look as If a reasonable
amount of plumpness would some day
be the fashion again. Those who are
much below weight must remember
that they will have to eat whether
they are hungry or not. A guide in
determining as to whether or not you
are seriously under weight is to re-
member that 10 per cent variation
either way, above or below the So
called normal, is allowed because OF
variations in bone structure. Any
thing beyond 10 per cent is near the
danger line.
Although milk contains all the ele-
ments needed for growth in the body.
it Is only when produced under abso-
lutely perfect conditions that this can
be depended upon. Nutrition workers
nowadays know that II is safer to add
fruit and green vegetables so as to
insure good supply of the vitamin
that varies so much in milk, accord.
ing to health of the cows and other
factors.
In preparing cereals for invalids see
that they are cooked from three to
eight hours. 1t lately has been estab-
lished that theoretically starch is
digeStible after a long cooking. The
fact rem aims that experience seems
to show that the digestive system
tired by illness Is the better for hav-
ing it's starches we'll cooked.
Oranges are so much a part of our
standard Winter breakfast that we
sometimes forget how much they do
in keeping the diet well balanced.
Their generous supply of bOne-build
ing and body regulating minerals and
vitamins make them almost an in
dispensable fruit.
