DANGERS IN DIETS

 But the danger lies in starva- tion or abnormal exercise. The right way IS to combat the cause. usually ies in an under-active gland. That scanty gland secre- ton lets too much food go to fat. Modern physicians, in treating obesity, feed the lacking sub stance.
 That method is the basis of Marmola prescription tablets. They are prepared by a famous laboratory, to offer this right method at its best. People have used them for ? 22years-millions of boxes of them. The results are seen in every circle. Almost everyone has friends who can show and tell the many good effects.

Temperature Near Absolute Zero

It is now of tremendous practical value in filling airships because it will not combine with other ele- ments and explode.
 This is effected by putting the gas under a pressure of ",000 pounds to the square inch after which it is cooled by liquid air to temperature of 310 degrees below zero. A supply of the most refined hclium obtainable is then subjected to a pressure of 200 pounds to the square inch. The compressed gas is then cooled with liquid air and liquid hydrogen to the temperature of the latter, 4.5 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit.

INTERESTING STORY
 OF LOST LANDMARK
Double Beach House Built More
 Than 100 Years Ago

New Britain residents are inter- ested in the history of the Double Beach House at Branford recently destroyed by fire. The history has been compiled and written by Mrs. Harriet Damon Nash of Short Beach. formerly of this city. Many patrons who enjoyed them selves on the grounds of the famous hostelry. were ignorant Of it's story, and Mrs Nash's sketch will prove 10 be enlghtening. She writes:
 "The Double Beach House was built over 100 years ago by Malachi Linslcy who was born in lSe0. To the original structure was later added the part with the mansard roof, built by Samuel l'oote and |. L. Russell, after Malachi Linsley' $ death. which occurred in 1869.
 Samuel Footc, father of Hon, Will liam Footc, took over the property at that time, also buying out the rights of the widow, Nancy l.. Lins- ley. Shortly afterwards, Mir. Eootc sold an individual half of the pro- perty to the widow Llnsloy, who was familiarly known as Aunt Nancy" Somewhat later Mir. EoOtc and Mrs. Linsley made q further di- vision of the property by which Mrs. Linsley acquired the Double Beach part while Mr. Eoote took section which included JOhnson's Point.
 When Nancy F. Linsley died on May 4. 1886, her executors Henry D, Lnslcy and Henry H. Stcdman, sold the Double Beach property to Charles Y. Russell of Springfield. Mass. In March. 1887. Mir. Russell decded the property to Henry Clark. The latter ran the place for many years, until it was finally sold on May 2ith, 1910, 10 William F. Has selbach of New Haven. The Grad uate club of New Haven occupied the property for some time on q lease.
 Later Willes Noble leased th" place, ran the hotel and used the grounds as q public amusement and picnic place.
 About a year ago, the lease was taken over by Mr. Alexander of New Haven on d three year lease. The lease had two more years to run when fire destroyed the old land mark.
 "Many q person will look back with pleasure to happy hours spcrt at the old place and will regret 10 hear Of it's destruction, Double Beach clambakes and shore dinners enjoyed q fame that was far-reach- ing, and countless thousands have made use of the swimming beaches. It was also a popular sport to hlr" boat and go out to the Scotch Cape for fishing.

SCHAFER SELDOM
 FORGETS DRY LAW
Enemy of Prohibition Gets Hear
 ing With Strong Lungs

Washington, Jan. - (tP)-Wh"n a rumbling sound like distant thun- 1 der is heard in Statuary hall, mid- way between the house and senate chambers, capitol guides tell their sightseeing parties;
 John Schafer. republican con- gressman from Wisconsin. is ad- dressing the house on prohibition" Schafcr is the one member of the house who can be certain of hear ing when he rises to discuss the pro- hibition issue not because he com mands closer attention than others but because the rest of the member ship no matter how disorderly, can not compete with his booming voice.
 Once Locomotive Engineer
 \ former locomotive engineer and soldier. Schafcr received his forensic training in round house and mess hall training which serves him well in house debate. Interruptions from the floor and gavel pounding from the speakers rostrum, always fea- lures of prohibition debate, bother Schafcr not at all. They merely stimulate him to greater effort.
 Stalking Up and down the aisle waving his arms and shouting, Schafer denounces almost daily the Volstcad law, the 18th amendment and everyone in and out of official life who seeks to uphold them. When not preaching the anti prohibition cause on the floor. he does in it the cloak rooms, in his office or at the neighborhoOd fire station he often visits Prohibition is more than q political issue to him, it is passion.
 Tircless Worker For Issue
 He is an indcfatigablc worked as well as q tiroless talker against prohibition. Often he is in his office until late at night preparing speech es and compiling data. Recently he gathered statistics on drunken driV- CT arrests from every state in the union, particularly dry states.
 Representative Loring Black, wag- gish New York democrat. dubbed Schafer "Firpo' several years ago because Of the resemblance between the pugilist from Argentina and the representative from Wisconsin. Schafer weighs 250 pounds, stands "ell over six feet and is topped by q shock Of thick, unruly yellow hair. He was born in Milwaukee in 1895, and attended the public schools Of Wauwatosa and West Allis, sub urbs of the city. After try at ot- flee work, he entered the engineer corps Of the army and served on several fronts in the world war Soon after returning from France, he was elected 10 the Wisconsin legislature and then to congress, where he has remained for the last eight years. Mrs. Schafvr is his secretary.
