Buy Your Plants From
Hershey Ind. School
Spring is upon us! Do you plan to
plant a garden this.year , either of vege-tables
or flowers? How about your plants?
Do you know that the Herehey Industrial
School can supply your needs in early
tomatoes , peppers , egg plants and cabbage.
Last year the School had a large number of
customers. Why not buy your plants
from the School this year?
Last year the School raised and sold
10,000 tomato plants , 20,000 cabbage
plants , 1,000 pepper plants , 800 egg plants ,
7,000 sweet potato plants , and several
thousand of small flowering plants such as
asters , zinnias, etc.
The School buys only the very best of
seed, and this year the assortment of
choice flowers for cut and bedding purposes
will be considerably larger and there will be
thousands of plants for sale.
Why not make your home more beauti-ful,
by hayin g your grounds filled with
flowers. The expense will be trifling, but
the pleasure will be gratifying.
When you think of plants, think of the
Hershey Industrial School. We would
suggest that you place your order this
month. Call up Prof. Copcnhaver , he has
a pencil and paper ready to jot down your
order. Why buy away from home when
you can buy at home. This ia our oppor -
tunity of helping the Industrial School, so
let's see If we can't double the sales over
that of last year .

Chocolate Is a Food
and Not a Confection
(By C. Houston Goudiss, National
authority on Nutrition; publisher of The
Forecast, America's leading food maga-zine.)
When one considers the enormous
amount of chocolate to-day consumed in
various forms throughout the world, it is
surprising to team this almond-shaped
bean of the cacao plant was not known in
Europe until after the discovery ofAmeri-ca,
and was not used in England until
1657, more than 130 years after its intro-duction
into Spain.
The first notice of its salejin England
was printed as follows, in the London
Public Advertiser , on Tuesday, June 16 of
the year mentioned: "In Bishopsgate
street , in Queen's Head Alley, at a French-man's
house, is an excellent West India
drink called chocolate , to be sold, where
you may have it ready at any tune; and
also unmade , at reasonable rates. "
Long before that time, however , the
Mexicans had made lar ge use of it, and the
great Emperor Montezuma is said to have
taken no other beverage than "chocolate,"
a thick chocolate mixture flavored with
vanilla and other spices. This preparation
is said to have been so nutritious that a
single cup of it would sustain a man
through a day 's march. Anyone who ever
has sought to satisfy hunger with a small
cake of sweet or milk chocolate can appre-ciate
the reasonableness of this statement.
Writing of the food value of chocolate,
the great Von Leibig says, "It is a perfect
food, as wholesome as delicious, a benefi-cent
restorer of exhausted power. It is
highly nourishing and easily digested, and
is fitted to repair wasted strength , preserve
health and prolong life."
It is indeed a highly nutritive foodstuff ,
containin g 13 per cent, of protein or body-buildin
g material , 48.7 per cent, of fat, 28
per cent, of mineral salts, the latter being
largely lime and phosphorus (lime being
present in chocolate inlarger amounts than
in cereals. So high isnts content of fat and
starch that it should be regarded as a most
important heat-givin g food to be used
especially in cold weather or when under
stress and strain to supply quick heat and
and ener gy.
When used as a bevera ge chocolate, if
prepared with milk , supplies an amazingly
lar ge amount of nut riment. So enlivening
and refreshin g is its action that it has been
called the gift of the gods.
The general public makes little distinc-tion
between cocoa and chocolate, and
while the latter is richer in fat than the
former from the standpoint of food value
they are much the same.
When rationall y employed as a nutrient ,
chocolate affor ds one of the best of strength
givers, and supplies a lar ge amount of
nourishment as well as one of the most
popular of flavors.
Its flavor is the real secret of its success,
though its food value to those who think
in terms of nutrition is by no means a
secondar y consideration. Combining the
two as it does, it has lightly risen to a pre-eminent
place in the daily food-round of
millions of people, and within the last
quarter century has come to be the most
popular of all sweetstuffs.

When a motion picture director is to film
a story of the wilderness, he must find
actors and actresses who can be taken into
wild places without looking like orchids in
a vegetable garden. He has to find men
and women who can shoot, ride, paddle a
canoe, swim, build a campfire and cook if
necessary.
In other words, he must find healthy,
active human beings Who have walked on
somethin g besides asphalt-and who must
be able to stand hardshi ps and enjoy them,
for there is still much photography done in
the open spaces, despite the wonderful
development of picture studios in the past
few years.
Dorothy Dalton is one of these unusual
women. She demonstrated it in "The
Flame of the Yukon," "Flare Up Sal,"
"The Idol of the North ," and in other
pictures , so when Irvin Willat sought out a
woman for the leadin g role in his newest
production , "The Siren Call," which comes
to the Hershe y Central Theatre on Satur-day
evening, March 10th, the part fell
almost automaticall y to her.
This is the stor y of the boom in Alaska
with its colorful life and the clashing of
strong-willed men and women where
civilization 's veneer is scratched in places.
Miss Dalton can portray all the tempestu-ous
dash needed for the part; she can ride a
horse like a cowboy, she can handle a
canoe like an Indian , she has no fear of the
rushing currents of mountain streams, and
she can even retain her poise among a
string of Alaskan dogs that are ready to
show their teeth on the slightest provoca-tion.
The cast includes several players who
have alread y established themselves in
roles of similar type. There is Mitchell
Lewis, mushing into the scene with his dog
team—ty pical adventurer of the white
silences. He will be remembered for .his
work in "The Barrier ," 'The Code of the
Yukon" and other Alaskan pictures. Also,
he appeared not long ago in Betty Comp-son's
Paramount picture " "At~~the~End of
the World. "
David Powell plays the leading male
role, that of a young miner . Mr. Powell,
so to speak, escaped from "Her Gilded
Cage" in time to answer "The Siren Call,"
havin g just completed the leading male
role in the former picture , a Sam Wood
production starring Gloria Swanson.
Leigh Wyant , who played an important
part in William deMille's "Bought and
Paid For "; Edward J. Brad y, Will R.
Wallin g, Lucien Littiefield and Guy Oliver
are also included.
The scenario of this production was
prepared by the author and Philip Hum.
It is said that the picture is vibrant with
drama and real hear appeal.
