At the Movies
ELTINGE THEATRE

More than year was spent in
preparation before a single scene
was photographed for 1.-THE Private
Life of Helen Of Troy the picturiza-
ton Of John Erskine's brilliant story,
which is featured at the Eltinge for
today and Tuesday.
Soon after it's publication the novel
became nationwide best-seller. and
for two years led the list of all
novels in sales.
Richard A. Rowland saw film pos
sibilities in the book, despite the fact
that there was little incident Of pic
torial value in the story, and pur-
chased the screen rights to it.
A story, following the spirit of
Erskine's book, had to be prepared.
The aid of the research department
was solicited and a mass of material
was collected.
Max Rec, noted designer and head
Of the studio costume department,
made literally hundreds Of costume
sketches, and Horace Jackson, who
designed the settings for ben Hur"
and other pictures Of similar magni-
tude, went to work on the sets.
With Alexander Korda, who was
chosen as director of the picture,
Wilson worked for months on the
story, supervising the task of de-
signing sets and costumes and Sc
lecting players.
Maria Corda, wife of the director
and star of stage end screen in
Europe, was selected for the role of
Helen, and Lewis Stone as Menelaos,
her husband. Tests of virtually
every leading man and star in the
film industry was made before Ri
cardo Cortez was chosen for the
highly important part of Paris, and
equal care was exercised in choosing
players for supporting roles.

the dollar was worth much in goods than it is
now.
Not only has machinery cheapened the work of har-

pertaining to the raising Of crops. We operate a
careless work. that is not at all necessary It would
be physical mpossibility to find enough to do
the enormous amount of farm work that is now being
done without the aid Of machinery.

Nom, Dear:
I'm sorry I can't come home to
your protecting wing now, but that
doesn't seem to fit into my present
plans. l have several plans up my
sleeve, and must make some de-
ciSions very soon.
I've decided to stay two weeks
longer with Madame Elise-Jane
and are both going to. Then
Jane is sailing for Europe, to buy
some of the decorations for her
new shop, and to look over the
collections, and get her bearings be-
fore she gets into the business for
herself.
If | will 60 into the shop with
her she will take me with her and
We can work together from now on.
That would be load of fun, l think,
and l shouldn't mind six weeks in
Paris at all.
Alan wants to take q months va
cation, and is willing to 60 anywhere
l want to, on land or sea. His idea
is a little jaunt in Canada, with a
week or so in Quebec, then on to
Lake Louise, Banff. and the west
coast. That wouldn't be SO diff
cult to bear, either.
Strange as it may seem to you
= you who believe l must be neg
Letting my home and my husband
since l am working - Alan and
really get along much better than
we ever have before.
And much Of it, I think, is be-
cause with regular hours for both
of us to work, our playtime more
nearly corresponds. I used to sleep
late every morning, play around
in the afternoon, and by the time
Alan came home in the evening,
was just ready for some sort of
amusement. I couldn't understand
why he didn't feel like dancing all
night.
Now l leave in the morning about
the same time he does, ind by the
time we meet again, we are both
ready for a quiet, leisurely dinner.
Perhaps we than take a spin through
the park in the car, or join some
friends, but we are about ready for

that way as far as practical dietetics
is concerned.
The average person can use three
n four small ears OF corn at a meal
with none but the most beneficial
results. Corn is best cooked by
boiling in slightly sailed water or
by baking in the husk. The latter
method gives it very delicate, nut
like flavor. Before baking, one
would have to pull back the husks
to clean the corn, after which the
husks may be replaced and the ends
twisted or tied together.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Questions: S. G. j. writes: "Please
tell me how to reduce the upper
arm"
Answer: Any kind of arm exer.
cises will reduce the fat on your
arms. The best ones to take are
those requiring reasonable amount
of muscular tension and, at the
same time, these exercises should be
used rapidly and with vigor. Prob
ably the best plan would be to pur-
chase one of the "chest weight
exercisers" which you can secure at
any sporting goods store. This ap-
paratus is attached to the wall, and
the exercises are taken by raising
and lowering weights which are at
tached to handles by ropes running
over pulleys. Secure a booklet de-
scribing how to take these exercises
This booklet can usually be obtained
at the same store where the appar-
atus is sold.
Question: Mrs. l. H. asks: us
it ever advisable to use any kind of
breadstuff with a meal containing
either potatoes or meat"
Answer: Genuine wholewheat
crackers or mullins may be used in
a limited quantity with either a pro-
tein (meat) or starchy foods (pota-
toes) by those in good health. This
is an exception to the general rules
regulating the use of proteins and
starches.
Question: Mrs. L. NJ. G. asks: us
there are cure for incipient tuber-
culosis ?"
Answer: 1ncipient tuberculosis
is durable if the proper methods are
used; even advanced cases can usual
~ be cured if every habit Of the pa
tient can be controlled. If you will
send large, stamped, self addressed
envelope l will be glad to send
you some articles on the subject
which ! have prepared for distri-
button.

GREEN CORN

Green corn is one of the few
starchy foods that can be used freely
during the hot weather. 1t is q
wholesome and appetizing addition
to our menus, and may be used as
the principal part Of the meal. 1t
is most appetizing when the kernels
are plump and we'll filled, yet soft
and milky inside.
Since green corn deteriorates rap
idly after being picked, it should
be eaten as soon as possible. 1t is
we'll to choose those ears, the husks
Of which are bright and fresh look
ing.
Green corn contains large
amount Of soft pliable ceilulose
which is only partly digested in the
intestines, but has much value be-
cause Of this fact, since it supplies
a bulk which is filling and non-irri-
tating. Bran is often recommended
for this purpose, but Their is a great
danger Of the bran being too
scratchy and thus further irritating
the intestines.
1t is apparent that colitis is often
caused from sing too much bran
IN an effort to cure constipation.
Those who are constantly affected
with this disorder will find that
green corn would be Of great help
o them. The intestines Of those
who are constipated are usually bal
looned and entirely out Of their nor
NAL shape. consequently large
amount IF bulky food must be used
to properly fill out the intestines,
so that normal peristaltic movements
will be promoted and this disease of
civilization, which is so responsible
for creating other diseases, may be
overcome.
1t is interesting to know that
green corn contains a much larger
proportion of mineral salts than is
found in cornmeal or in dried field
corn. It's potassium alone is four
times as plentiful as the amount
found in ordinary cornmeal.
Green corn is listed as a starchy
food, but when young the starch sell
dom reaches a percentage of one
fifth of the total bulk. Whole corn
meal is 6S per cent starch, while
green corn is something under 20
per cent starch, giving us a carbo-
hydrate food which is very palatable
and yet does not burden the system
with excuses of starch.
It is quite safe for anyone troubled
with constipation to use corn on
the cob once day during the sum-
mer time, always combining the
corn with some of the green vege-
labels, such as celery or young car
beans, also a few Of the salad vege-
tables such as celery or young car
rots. Avoid acid fruits, including
tomatoes, which are really an acid
fruit, near the corn" meal.

passed her botany examination has

ROTARY CAN LAUGH AT IT'S CRITICS
lMinneanolis IournaN

The Reverend A. w. Beaver, who addressed the
Rotarians Wednesday, takes too seriously we believe,
the Menckenian and Lewsian jbes at Rotary and
similar organizations He says there are too many
critics in turn, needing the sound portions Of the
criticism. Being a gentleman, he naturally recon-
mends the latter course.
But is there not third and better course and is
It not being followed right now by Rotary and by
other bodies that have under the fire of Memo
KEN Lewis and their ilk? We think So And that
course to ignore altogether the eers Of these smart
alecks, who would paint every Rotaran and Kiwanan,
every Lion and Optimst, as natural born Rabbit.
Tor Rotary and the other service clubs need neither
apology nor defense. Their achievements speak for
themselves Only little while ago business life, and
professional life, too, was jungle life Men snapped
at each Others trade or practice the beasts
Of the wilderness snap at each others bodies.
The idea was widely accepted that the only road
to success lay over the competitors corpse II the
merchant manufacturer, the lawyer the broker,
drove his rival to the wall he considered that his
highest ambition had been achieved even when the
achievement came near spelling his ruin.
That such jungle creed plumb foolish ut
terly wastefu and nearly disastrous to the winner

WE'LL what is responsible for this changed state Of
affair! The answer is necessarily multifold Trade
associations have played their part. So has adver-
tising: But possibly still larger part has been
played by the service organizations with their dogma
