Sick and Suffering

 Learning the Truth

More and more the public is learning from experience that Health is not to be found in the Drug Bottle. For that reason, they are now turning to Chiropract treatments which bring back into full action the Natural Internal Health building power located within each and every ones own body. That great Power that pro- duces growth, controls digestion, Heart action, kidney function, gland action, muscular power, heals wounds, etc. and etc. - that same power that furnished you with daily health when you did not know what sick day was is the only power that can restore lasting Health.
 Chronic Headache, Dizziness, Nervous and Mental Trouble. Di- gestive Ailments, Neuritis, Arth- ritis. Back Pains, Throat Trouble, Female Disorders, Constipation, Kidney and Bladder Weakness, Poor Blood Circulation are some of the numerous cases that office records show restored to Health. Dr. G. A.

STRAND

Bombing the youth and romance with the color and dash of the Vir- ginia Military Institutes cadet corps, Brother Rat" Warner Bros. sensa- tional comedy, arrives at the Warner Bros. Strand theater this afternoon as the headliner of the fine twin feature program to be enjoyed until the closing performance Friday eve- ming.
 Topping the cast are Wayne Nor ris and Priscilla Lane, fresh from her success in -Four Daughters" In the large supporting cast are John nie Seat" Davis, Jane Wyman, Ron aid Reagan. Jane Bryan, and Eddie Albert of the original stage play. All combine to make the film ver- sion every bit the success the original stage play was.
 The picture is an hilraious story of college life, but 1t isn't the sort of college play where the lads and the co-eds team up and break into choruses and dances every so often. On the other hand the picture is by no means co-educational and it has neither g song nor tap-step in 1t.

any possible later issues to arbi- tration.
 The powers allowed Italy to take Libya, next door to Tunisia, in 1912, and she helped herself to Ethiopia in 1886. Neither country is suited to colonization. Italy must expand or explode, because of surplus population. She needs to supplement her food supply and essential resources.
 The resulting situation is this:
 Germany succeeded at Munich and hopes in time to get back her forfeited Africian colonies. She may be sympathetic with Italy, although the Franco-German pact may delay or obviate direct sup port.
 If Italy were in Tunisia, she would have nearly complete con- trol of the Mediterranean. Britain could not stand for that.
 France has to protect her in- vestment in Tunisia, as well as in Algeria and Morocco. Her man. power in the event of a war must be supplemented from her colonial possessions. The Tunisian harbor of Bizerta and the powerful Ka- rouba airbase are wartime essen- tials.
 Tunisia is boiling-over a fire that has been burning 13 centuries.

road concessions. Because the local rulers, the Beys, overtaxed the peo- pie in order to live in unbelievable luxury, concessions to foreign pow CTS were granted happily as sources of additional income.
 When unification of the Italian city states into the Kingdom of Italy took place in 1860, the situation be- came acute. The new Italy immed- lately wanted to restore old Roman glory. It became evident that Bey was favoring Italy and that Ger many and England would not ob- ject. France stepped in and took Tunis. As a pretext she used the attacks of the Khroumirs, mar auding Algerian border tribe, but that was only a pretext to cloak thinly the real motives.

and the need for laborers was acute. The Italians flocked in, for Sicily was only 100 sea miles from Tunis. The French took the role of employ CT, and the Italian of employe, in competition with the native Arab.
 Italy wanted to keep her sons and daughters Italian-have them speak Italian, go to Italian supported schools, and share in the govern ment of the protectorate. France wanted them Gallicized.
 The problem grew more and more complicated up until three years ago when 1t was believed a final conn., promise had been reached.
 Both school and nationality is- sues were conceded to the Italians until 1865, when automatic French naturalization of Italian Tuni- sians was to take place and when all schools were to become French.

DIZZY DECORATIONS
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Going in for Christmas decorationsP we'll you'll discover lots of new creations. The good old fashioned color schemes Are substituted now by modern dreams Of combination of exotic shades Quite different from the one time homemaoes. On the table is suggested red cellophane, Or perhaps blue, not designed but plan Then give free rein to the imagination, And believe me- it's no exaggeratlon, That some effects pretty weird And from the Christmas motif have slightly veered' Into cornucopias yellow or black stick spikes of yellow wheat if you have the knack Of course you can't go wrong on silver spangles With fiat decorative touches of floral bangles. Service plates of most any design will pass But very cute numbers are made Of red glass Then use miniature trees of any color but green Bright of course and making sheen. By all means plan your table early, Don't consult your menfolk, it makes them sury. So when shopping's all done you must get busy Planning the decorations however dizzy.

 Tamiroff's role in this new offer ing will thrill you as you have never been thrilled before. He tops his triumphs in '"The Buccaneer" and the recent Spawn of The North" and is now being hailed as the screens outstanding master of char acter parts. In this latest venture he plays a wild ex-Cossack chief tain in an exciting story of a racket-chief's attempts to control the life and romance of his son by the same means he uses in the underworld. He shares the spotlight with a pair of the screens most sensational younger players. They are Frances Farmer, whose triumph on the New York stage season ago caused hard-boiled Broadway critics to hail her as the most promising actress of the last decade. She is teamed with her husband, Lief Erikson, who also plays a featured part in the film.
 The story is built around the ex- periences of a wild chieftain of the Russian steppes who carries his career of plunder and bold defiance of the law to American with him, the picture tells what happens when United States law and order comes smack up against old world daring and shows the dilemma of two young lovers caught between the two.

POLI'S

Tonight at g o'clock for one per- formance only the Loew Poli the ater is presenting another of its highly outstanding vaudeville stage shows, secured direct from Broad way and featuring the seading en- tertainers in the world today.
 Headlining this weeks bill is a famous trio composed of Jans, Lyn- ton and Artie Brooks, d:cect from Loew's Stage theater in New York city. Supporting this headline at- traction is a great lineup featuring several novelty acts, among them Paul and Ester, international skat- ing champions homef rom a tri- umphant tour of Europe; Larry Best, mimic and master of cere- monies who was formerly with Fred Waring'S orchestra and completing the show is William Ebbs in an act that contains surprise for all. Capably handling the musical background for this show are Gus Meyers and the Loew Poli theater orchestra.
 In addition there will be a su- perb double smash screen bill head ed by the Camera Daredevils in "SharpshooteYs" with Brian Don- levy and Wally Vernon. Adding the romantic interest is lovely Lynn Bari.
 The adventures of ''The Camera Daredevils" are woven into story that embodies all the essential ele- mentS of fasta ction, suspense, com- edy and romance. As the picture opens, Brian and Wally are in the midst of a melee with the authori- ties, who try to confiscate exclu- sive shots the cameramen have just made of monarch's assassination. A clever ruse wins them the scroop and they are immediately assigned to cover the coronation of the new king.
 There is no let up in the ensuing excitement and 1t all builds up into a breath-taking climax.

 What is behind Italian demands for return of Tunisia? How do Mus solini's underlings justify their dia- tribes against French control of that ancient African land?
 One must go back about 1900 years for the answer, for Italian people have had no governmental control iA or of Tunisia since SAP A. D.
 Legend says the Phoenician Queen Dido built the famous city of Car thage, almost on the exact site of which the present Tunis, capital of the. country, is situated.
 In the second century B. C., Car- thage fell to Rome, and for all but few of the next 300 years the whole North African province be- longed either to the western or the eastern Roman Empire.
 In the 7th century it fell to the Mohammedan Arabs, and was known as the Kingdom of Kairwan. CThe present city of Kairwan is the second holiest of the MoSlem world; the pilgrim who cannot reach Mecca finds his satisfaction at Kairwan.)
 For brief periods Tunis came un- der the domination of Silicy and Spain, and then in the 16th century was conquered by Turkey, which al- lowed local autonomy.
 RESOURCES
 APLENTY
 Since HOO A. D., European inter ests have fought for possession of Tunisian natural resources.
 Her coral fisheries on the north ern coast are about the finest in the world.
 Tunisia is the most fertile of the North African countries. Grain, grapes, citrus, grazing, and special stud farms for horses and cattle are the large industries of the northern region, just above and be- low the Medjerda river.
 Along the eastern coast, the Sahel, there is extensive production of ol- ives, and in the south, near the shotts, the dry salt lakes, about whose shores are the magnificently fertile oases, a great date country.
 Tunisia is also extremely rich in phosphates, has some iron, zinc, and lead, and her pink marble from Shemtu is world famous.
 The European powers most con- cerned have been France, England, and the Italian cities. In addition to concessions for exploitation of Tunisian resources, they sought tell ephone, telegraph, cable, and rail-
