Of action to Patsy but the rules
forbid it this year. In the fourth
round hard right caught Deke in
the tummy and down he went for the
count of nine. Two hard smacks to
the stomach put him down again
bat the Deacon was saved by the
bell. In the last two rounds Brooks
held on to his opponent and then
started in to deal out a little pun
i3hment Of his own. He made a
marvellous recovery and had Pats
face all smeared with blood at the
end. The decision was awarded the
Filipino but we believe that the
Deacon's comeback merited draw
as he really had Yangco in bad
way toward the end.
Good Sparring Match
Mike Donovan Of San Francisco

on the lines followed by Gentleman
Jim Corbett and our literary ex-
heavyweight champ, Gene Tunney.
The boys were clever, no getting
away from that. In the third stanZa
things picked up somewhat and the
action grew more spirited with
Smith getting in several hard rights

fans seemed to think that Smith
had the edge on the argument.

POPULAR STAR
TO BE SEEN in
LATEST RELEASE

Dick. Barthelmess, in a role diff
eerent from any heretofore at
tempted by him, is the leading char
acter in "Young Nowheres" First
National Vitaphone production COM
ing to the Fox Imperial Theatre for
Sunday night only.
Much Of the story is told in the
night court Of New York City,
whittier the law has brought a youth
and Il young girl facing Il serious
charge. All the evidence appears
against them though they are in
nccent. A kindly judge gives the
youth an opportunity to tell his
story and he does so with such sim
cerity that the charges against him
are dismissed, the wealthy man who
has brought them admits his error
while the youth and the girl get the
chance that life has hitherto denied
them.
Marion Nixon plays the role of
the girl and with Barthelmess forms
n team that will threaten the laurels
of other well known film combina-
tions.
Tonight Fox Theatre presents
",rhe River" gripping and some
what daring drama Of a youth from
tine backwoods, innocent of guile
and believing all the world as clean
as his own home life, enmeshed with
woman with past, whose lover
has just been snt to prison for MUIR
der.
From making sport Of the youth
the woman comes to love him and err
alizing her unwOrthiness attempts
to send him from her. He refuses
and their romance is about TO be
eliminated in marriage when the
lover, having escaped from prison,
reappears on the scene. The climax
is thrilling and offers an oppor-
tunity for several sensational scenes
which demonstrate the extremes to
which the script of production
often calls.
Charles Farrell is seen in the
leading role with Mary Duncan
playing opposite him in the place
usually filled by Janet Gaynor. Miss
duncan fills the place to the ut
most satisfaction.

UNCLE SAM TAKES A HAND

The u. S. Department of Agri-
culture has announced that the use
of the word "health" in connection
with foods constitutes nisbranding
This is very far-reaching and help
full statement, comments the Public
Health League of Washington.
The words "health-foods" implies
that these products have curative or
health-giung properties. Generally
they merely possess some Of the
nutritive qualities to be expected in
any wholesome food. The consumer
believes that our ordinary diet is
deficient in vital substances and that
so-called health foods are absolutely
necessary to conserve health.
To give the impression that we all
need something added to our every
day diet is misrepresentation. So
called health-giving biscuits, waters
and foods are not only a waste of
money if purchased for their curative
properties but cause more serious
loss, as they are relied on as sub
stitute for proper corrective meas
ures
There are three general classes of
health foods" which flood the mar
ket. The first includes whole wheat,
rye, oats, bran a:i1 mixtures of these.
These products are misrepresented
when curative properties are claimed
for them and when the manufactures
says they provide ''life-giving vitam-
ms in their tasty natural state" The
second group includes mineral waters
or initiative mineral waters,
sold by promoters who claim that by
using them at home the same bene-
fits may be had as by staying at a
resort and following proper diet and
taking rest. The administration pro-
poses to insure not only truthful
labelling Of these products but also
their purity and freedom from com
tanination. The third group Of s'life-
giving" products includes candy con-
tanning calcium, food materials with
pl,osphates added, bread containing
carrot flour, crakers containing SIENNA,
and gum containing phenolphthalein.
The Department hopes to protect
the consumer and the honest man
ufacturer by insisting that manufact-
urers cease to make exaggerated claims
for their foods.
