Why Fat Men Stay Fat

The trouble with me, and l guess are putting on weight, I didn't have the energy or pep" to keep it off Lost all interest in any healthy ac- tivity and just lazed around accumu- latinS the old poundage until l got that "Kruschen feeling"
 Start taking Kruschen Salts that's the common sense way to re- duce-but don't take them with the idea that they possess reducing qualities in themselves
 This is what they do-they clean out the impurities in your blood by keeping the bowels. kidneys and liver in splendid working shape and fill you with a vigor and tireless en- ergy you'd most forgotten had existed.
 As result instead of planting your self in an easy chair every free moment and letting fahby fat accumulate you feel an urge for activity that keeps you moving around doing the things you've always wanted to do and needed to do to keep you in good condition. Then watch the pounds slide off! kruSchen Salts the up-to-date Fountain of Youth. Take one-half tea spoonful In a glass of hot cold water tomorrow morning and every morning and if they don't change your whole idea about reducing. go back and get the small price you paid for them. Get an S5 cent bottle of Kruschen Salts-lasts 4 | weeks-at~ the Fair Drug Dept. or any l progressive druggist anywhere in the | world.
 It's the Little Daily Dose that does it

BOY SCOUT FINDS
 ENEMY'S TREASURE
Kicks Toe Against Germans
 Gold in Sydney Field

Sydney. Australia, Dec. ' P-Sct amid virgin bushland sloping down to Sydney Harbor. the Sydney Zoo, one of the most beautiful In the orld. was the scene of an unex- pected treasure discovery.
 A boy scout campaigning among the trees, struck his foot against glass jar thinly covered by earth. To his amazcment, he found it full of gittering coins, $500 In gold.
 Report of the find elicited strange story from the headkceper of the zoo. When the war broke out an old German, employed as an underkeeper. was afraid his savings would be confscated. So he buried them. Then he went into the back country for ten years. Meanwhile some trees had been cut down and others had grown up, and though he searched until he was broken heart ed he could not find his jar of gold.
 Finally the impoverished old man. set to work to earn enough money to go back to his native Bavarian vil- lage.
 Now that his money is found he himself is lost. The treasure is held by the police while efforts are being made 10 trace him.

inspired to courage by their heri- .tage rather than by the excitement ot the moment.
 And probably his play will be more ageless than What Price Glory?" which was rather the bet ter theatrical exhibit. Written for the English theater. it lost none of it's force when set before American evidences.
 It may be that from the remoter observation point of two or three years hence. Lardner's June Moon" will loom as the greatest landmark of 1929 in the American theater.
 Its mad humor are only a ve- neer, for at bottom, as Lardner chides the nations song writers, he reveals savage scorn for the fol- lies and foibles of his time. If he follows this comedy of contempo- rary manners and morals with others in the same vein, he may yet show himself the ablest playwright of his time at holding the mirror up to American life.
 Of other plays worth attention there have been several.
 The Criminal Code" by Martin Tlavn argues that something is wrong with penitentiaries as insti- tutions for retaining men. It is stark tragedy, and it is made much more effective by the vivid set tings of Robert Edmond Jones and Arthur Byron's portrayal of the prison warden torn between the necessities of his job and a desire to be compassionate and fair.
 In Preston Sturges, author ot Strictly Dishonorable," the stage has found new playwright capa- ble of writing sheer and trivial com, edy with a delightful deftness oi touch.

 WIN GREAT PRAISE
"Street SCene," "Journey'S End" June MO0n' Called Best

New York, Jan. ' LP-The salient dramas of 1929 in the American theater were three: Street Scene" Eumer Rice's tragedy of lower mid dlc class life in New York; -Four ney's End" English world war play by R. c. Sheriff; and June Moon," hilarious and penetrating American comedy by Ring Lardner and George s. Kaufman.
 Street Scene" as the outstand- ing hit Of the year and recipient of the Pulitzer drama prize, com- manded most attention. Its author had shown earlier in his career a keen ear for the tempo of the ma chine age, and in Street Scene" he employs an unorthodoxy of treatment which shows his inde- pendence of the conventions and clinches of the theater.
 Yet he infuses two familiar in gradients of the state-a love story of an Irish girl and Jewish boy, and the murder by stage hand of his wife and her lover-and these sugar-coat the somber undertone of the drama. whose main errand is 10 show the barrenness and shall lowness of tht life some millions or urbanites live along the side streets of New York.
 Through the windows of typi- can Manhattan apartment house of the poorer class, and on the side walk in front of it, Rice lets us glimpse the daily lives of a group If city dwellers. His is not a great play of its season and it holds up to careful scrutiny an observant picture of q current scene.
 Journeys End" Is a first play by an English clerk, yelling out of his own deep seated revulsion for war because of what it does to gentle men.
 Inevitably it was compared here with What Price Glory?" which holds foremost rank among Ameri- can world war plays, but the two are as different as the British and American viewpoints. Sheriff's iidealistic and gentlemanly army officers, young ONonians proud Of culture and breeding, would find incomprehensible the boisterous veneries of Captain Flagg and Ser. geant Quirt.
 Sheriff wrote passionately of gen tlemen whose souls were twist ted by war and who went to futile death with high loyalty but with out any Zest for adventure-men
