FACTS HAMMER THEORIES “What,” asks the World’s Work in the first of a series of hea'th articles ‘which are to range from obesity to typhoid and pneumonia, /“what can & fat man do?” Well, that depends. 1f he is a Na- poleon he can rebuild the world. If he is Henry VIII he can put through a Reformation. If he is a Bénjamin Franklin he can put over u revolution nd flirt with the marquises. If he is Mirabeaa he can nearly stave off @ revolution. If he is Gibbon he can write a history of Rome. If he is Samuel Johnson he can send the voice of common sense roaring through the centuries. 1f he is Chesterficld he can shoot off enough half-sane reali- ties in five minutes to keep a collegt faculty busy for the rest of their lives, 1t he is Balzac he can write an en- cyclopedia of the human heart. If he is Caruso he can sing like an angel as distinguished from a Wagnerian tenor. lf he Falstaff he cau keep the joy of life going for 250 years and nd over the task to Pickwick and Wardle. If he is Cleveland he can put his foot down and not give a damn. 3§ he is Tait lie can go on proving the ntter lblllrdit{ of the idea that no- body. loves a fat man. But what the writer, in the World's ' Work means, of course, is what can a fet man do not to be fat. Naturally he begins by quoting Mr. Taft whose good nature is never more conspicuous than in the readiness with which he lends himself to the uses of the writer ‘on diet. About this time of the year, fl'e almanacs might say, look for a jicture. of the ex-president in the : zines, before and after treat- ent. Only.this time the pictures in orld's Vork are not convincing.

The Japanese variety which ran away joined some of its American cousins, who are just as pretty and just as fragraut. There's the coral honeysuckle, for example, a famous with trumpet-shaped flowess, red out-! side and scarlet within. In England | they have the woodbine, a cream col- ored fragrant relative of the honey- suckle. Recently there came a new variety from China, where it was found on the tops of mountains 6,000 fect above the sea. Its foliage is almost ever- green, and the flowers are a reddish bronze. Another variety has red flowers, with yellow ar.d buff mark- ings.

Movie Star Picks a Paige Car Arthur H. Ashley, who is is caus- ing as many heart flutters among the feminine movie fans as there are flick- ers in the latest World film, “The Summer Girl,” in which he is starring, has added a Paige roadster to his fleet of motor cars. While the recent ascent of Mount Hood, Oregon, by a Paige-Fairfied "6- 46," convinced him of the stamina and staunchness of the Paige, Mr. Ashley has no intention of using his new purchase for plunging over the Palisades, rolling off a jack-knife bridge, or for any other movie stunt. The new Paige is just for his personal enjoyment, Mr. Ashley, besides being an ex- perienced Hmyway actor, a movie star and a scerfario writer of note, is He now has three cars and two mechanicians to keep them tuned up and all his spare time from the studio is spent in hitting the road.

The housewife's boycott on beans at 25 cents a quart already has had its effect in Boston.

That reduces the retail price only | 1% cents a quart, but it means that the backbone of the “war price” move- ment in beans has been broken, the wholesalers say. It is a sign that the big speculators in New York and Chi- cago, who cornered the bean market in the hope that government buying for the soldiers on the Mexican bor- der would get them rich quick, are weakening. : A big Boston wholesaler on the in- side of the market said that New York e ————— E LT T T e Send them to us How About Your Garments That need cleaning’ and pressing.

Recently the Briscoe has been es- tablishing numerous records for hill climbing, which is proving its power beyond all doubt. At Mason City, la., August 15, Ed- die Hearne drove a Briscoe racin car to victory amidst a cheering audi- ence of 12,000. Hearne won the 300- cubic-inch race in hittle Briscoe, then captured the free-for-all event, defeating eight other racing machines of greater horsepower. Among the cars defeated were such cars as the Fiat, Case, Mais Special, Duesenburg and others.

Before the prices asked for other cars were marked up, Chandler was . the first choice of thousands of careful buyers. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that with distinct price advantage added to distinct mechan- ical superiority, the Chandler is first choice today of multiplied thousands. Chandler sales for the year 1916 are setting a new big record for high grade sixes. In the midst of extravagant claime for new and uncertain theories, the Chandler Motor, refined and perfected through three years of develop- ment, remains free from any hint of experimentation.
