Best Equipment.
Always the Stevenson theatre has
been equipped with the very best and
most up-to-date projectors and operat.
ing equipment. From the beginning
this has been one of the chief policies
of the theatre management and
thousands of dollars have been spent
in adding improvements toward mod
ecnization as new inventions have
made this possible.
When sound came on the market,
the Stevenson installed the best sound
system that was known at the tim.
Many improvements and additions
have been bought and installed since

initial installation, only to be followed
by the "mirrorphonic" system when

tone and enunciation are virtually per

Heating and Cooling.
At the time the Stevenson was open
ed, a modern and completely up-to
date cooling system was installed in
the building. 1t was the best of that
day, and is the type many large and
modern theatres still use. But when
a more modern and much more effec-
tive air-conditioning plan was placed
on the market, more thousands of dol
lars were spent to give patrons of tn"
Stevenson this equipment, it being one
Of the first theatres to use it. Rut that

In the winter the theatre is made
comfortable by a highly perfected
heating plant which brings tropical
temperatures inside no matter how
low the thermometer may be outdoors.
So that patrons are always assured of
the greatest possible comfort when
they drop in for entertainment here
More recently, the attractive mar

The original was an expensive install

A beautiful, soft plush carpet has

cium salts are known to keep the
tone Of the muscles normal.
Control Calcium
The parathyroid glands then, as
these unfortunate accidents proved,
control the calcium nutrition of the
body. Calcium can be given to q
case of tetany with no benefit unless
accompanied by the administration
of parathyroid extract also.
Parathyroid extract j. one Of the
most effective we have, but it is not
needed very much because, although
tetany does occur spontaneously
(that is, without surgical accident)
in children with ricketts, and nursing
mothers, it is rare disease.
The parathyroids also have some
thing to do with growth and bone
formation, natural inference since
bones need calcium in their growth.
The ductless glands work in teams
the secretion Of one affects one Or
two others. But the parathyfolds
more than the others appear to ope-
rate alone and control only the one
function of calcium usage.
Nearest to them in this respect is
the secretion of the islet cells OF the
pancreas, which control carbohy-
drate nutrition. When they go
wrong, diabetes results. 1t is true
that the adrenals and the pituitary
have some influence on them, but
how much is debatable.
The extract of these cells-ipsu-
lin-is also extremely effective: All
these extracts are merely chemicals,
several of which can be created IN
the chemical laboratory. They are
possibly produced in nature outside
the body.
