WASHINGTON.—"The Sin of Glut
tony” 13 the burden of a bulletin Just
Issued by the United States Public
Health Service. The service com
pares the proper feeding of animals
to the common lack of moderation hu
mans exercise in eating.
"Dog fanciers have noted that when
a house dog begins to get fat and
wheezy it Is pretty apt to be attacked
by a stubborn skin disease the bulle
tin states. "In such case they e.i.c
down the diet and Increase the open
ir exercise, thus relieving the over
burdened body of poisonous sub
stances.
"The sin of gluttony is common and
herefore much condoned, but like
very other violation of nature's lows
has a penalty. Fat, inefTiciency, slug
gish mentality, the reddened nose,
the pimpled face, certain of the chr
onic skin eruptions and much fatigue
and nervousness are due to the abuse
f the digestive apparatus.
‘•Rich indigestible food in large
quantilies, highly seasoned to stimu
late the jaded palate are forced into a
body already rebellious from repletion.
Exercise is largely limited to walking
to and from the table, and bodily de
terioration proceeds rapidly.
"Many an Over-fed dyspeptic, sud
denly dragged by the stern hand of
circumstance from a life of physical
ease and plenty and forced to work
out of doors suddenly discovers that
his semi-invalidism ha3 gone, that a
years standing has disappeared and
havethat a new vigor and zest of life
have been given him.
"Not everyone can spend hi3 whole
tiime in the open air, but a certain
amount of exercise and plain whole- ,
some food in an amount not exceed
ing the body’s needs can bo had by
almost everyone. Simple, moderate
diet and exercise make for health
These are not faddish food theories;
ihey are Just plain common-3ense."
HONDURAS MOVIE THEATRES
HAVE BAR-ROOMS WITH
DRINKS BETWEEN REELS
WASHINGTON, Barrooms are !n- j
stalled in the moving picture theatres j
or Honduras and between reels do a |
thriving business, especially when A
nterican-made “wild west" or “condo"
is being shown, Consul Dyer, at Celha,
has reported to the Department of
Commerce. Also, the “movie" has a
me nopoly on the theatre going public
of Northern Honduras, as not a play
house now produces the spoken drama.
phe film3 used are practically nil
Fiench and Italian make, frequently
of the society-drama type, which are |
net enthused over as is the western
film in which cowboys and Indians are
th" principle characters that occas- 1
..onally is procured from the Un’tcd J
States. The "wild and wooley” pie
urcs are always popular with Hon
duras audiences and are provocative
of boisterous applause, the report
states. The American '•comics" are
also favored.
The entire front of the movie theatre
in Ceiba is occupied by the “cantina"
|
where beer, wines, liquors, soft drinks j
ami sandwiches are served. The
prices of admission range from 10 to
GO cents American gold. Although
dunks are served to patrons in their
suits, an in:ermission of considerable
nr.ition is given during which the
cantina is the center of attraction.
The expense of operation is heavy,
the films alone costing $18 gold n
night. American films cost $23 a
night, which explains their infrequent
use. Frequently the box office re
ceipts do not meet the expenses, hut
tie bar makes up he diflciency, ac
cording to the report.

CONGRESS EXPECTED T9 CONSIDER
COMPULSORY MILITARY SERVICE
Pacific New* Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHING TON.—Tha t Congress
will this winter take up the question
of compulsory military training is the
pi reliction of many government offic
ials and military critics. The short
December session is expected to he j
confined almost wholly to routine!
the youth of the country is almost'
coitain to be considered soon after the
new congress convenes in January, it
.3 believed.
The recent action of Secretary
Baker in formerly requesting the War
College to prepare a comprehensive
survey of country-wide recruiting
renditions has not only strengthened
ilie repo ts current in military and
naval circles that bill providing com
pulsory service will be introduced in
Congress, but lends color to rumoi3
that tho administration is preparing
to get behnd the proposed drastic pre
pui edness m ovement.
The legish lion, if any is asked, is
expected to provide limited comnul
3ory service modeled after the Swiss
and Australian military systems, la
a modified form.
Tifti the Hay Act has proved in
effective and but little short of a ’
complete failure is the contention of
army officers,who point to the recruit
ing figures which show a constant and
heavy decrease in the number of men
entering the service.

TELEPHONING THROUGH EARTH
NOW NEARLY PERFECTED
Pacific New3 Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON.—Progress in the
development of the subterranean tele-,
phone, claimed to have been invented
by Dr. H. Barringer Cox, who is now
at Santa Barbara, California, engaged
In experiments In an effort to perfect
the apparatus so as to make its com
mercial use practicable, Is bping
watched with Interest by the United
States Forestry Service. The perfec
tion of such a telephone would greatly
facilitate the patroling and cruising
of forests; officials state.
The telephone, which is understood
to transmit the voice through the
ground waves which are said to radi
ate in all directions in a manner sim
ilar to the air waves by which wire
less telegraphy Is possible, has been
made to operate successfully up to a
distance of six miles, according to un
j official information obtained at the
J Forestry department.
The Service, while not cooperating
or identifying itself with the inven
tion, has permitted experiments to he
eairied on on government-controlled
forests. P. A. Seiberling, a rubber
manufacturer of Akron, Ohio, is un
derstood to be backing Dr. Cox finan
