TRADER HORN HAS FAITH IN GORILLAS iThe Strangest Character in Modern Fiction Turns the Spotlight Upon Queer Animal Inhabitants in k the Jungles of Africa. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN The Gorilla believes in family life and he is mighty careful about his morals. And that comes from an old man who has recently become famous all over the world under the name of Trader Horn. His right name is Alfred Aloysius Horn and at the ripe old age of seventy-three lie has written the story of his life of adven-

ture in the early days in Africa as a trader under the title of “Trader Horn.” One day an English woman by the name of Ethelreda Lewis opened the door of her home to admit an aged peddler. She began talking with him and “Trader Horn’’ is the result of that talk. Horn wrote his story and at the end of each chapter Mrs. Lewis has direct conversation with the old man. It is in these conversations at the end of chapter that we find the great wisdom of this really real man. It is in the last chapter of his story that Horn tells Mrs. Lewis about gorillas. He tells her: “Families no herds, is what a gorilla believes in. He’s got a man’s instinct for a home. He’ll not live as if he were in a tenement. No, and he’ll not intermarry too closely either. He’s a few shades better than a poor white, that’ll many his aunt if she lives next door rather than give himself the trouble to go farther afield for a mate. A gorilla’ll visit five colonies in rotation to avoid interbreeding. A regular scientist.’ *' It seems to me that it is too bad that William Jennings Bryan could not have lived long enough to read at least this part of “Trader Horn.” I know that “Trader Horn” for months has been one of the best non-fiction sellers and about every place that a fellow visits these days you wiU hear about “Trader Horn’’ as well as Ludwig’s “Napoleon.” It has become such a fad to read these two books that some people are drawing a line against being counted in the list of those who have read ’em. And as my friend Henry Behrens, the decorator of this city, yells with a smile: “No I haven’t read ‘Trader Horn’ and I am not going to read ‘Napoleon’.” But I have fallen for both books

Many a sore throat and cold can be remedied, before they become serious, by the systematic use of Listerine. Being antiseptic, it attacks disease-producing germs that lodge in the mouth and throat. For your health’s sake use it every day during sore throat weather. Lambert Pharmacal Cos., St. Louis, Mo- U. S. A. LISTERINE the safe antiseptic

and can state with the greatest ease that Trader Horn is the most interesting character that I have discovered in a book for many years. John Galsworthy in his foreword to “Trader Horn” goes on record of stating that he in February, 1927, had “the pleasure of meeting “Horn.” “Trader Horn” is really the modem “Robinson Crusoe” and “Swift Family Robinson” all wrapped up in one book. There is real life in this story and his quaint but natural philosophy is as striking as the story of his own life. “Trader Horn,” as published by Simon and Schuster, New York, is a gold mine of life. Don't miss this gem. Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Right You Are” a Little Theatre presentation, at the Playhouse; McIntyre and Heath at the Lyric: Jed Dooley at Keith's; “By Whose Hand” at the Colonial; “Girls From Happyland” at the Mutual; “The Patent Leather Kid” at the Circle; “Old Ironsides” at the Apollo; “Metropolis” at the Ohio, and "The Gorilla” at the Indiana.

LISTS NEW OBJECTIVES FOR MEDICAL SCIENCE Cancer anil Rheumatism Listed by Gary Health Commissioner. By United Press GARY, Ind., Feb. 15.—Medical science, after having practically conquered tuberculosis, smallpox and other contagious diseases which used to be terrors of mankind, now must turn its attention to the eradication of metabolic and degenerative diseases such as- high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic nephritis, cancer and rheumatism, according to D. B. W. Harris, Gary city health commissioner. “The average life span is now fifty-six instead of the thirty-three years of a generation ago,” said Dr. Harris. “This is principally due to increased immunity against disease germs, which are the causes of most acute and inflammatory diseases—to vaccination and to increased knowledge of the sources of bacteria, their modes of conveyance, etc. “Nevertheless, some of the metabolic and degenerative diseases are rapidly inclining upward, and it is with these that medicine will have to cope in the near future.”

“My mother-in-law/' says Mrs. Belle Thompson, 3101 E. 44th St., East Lake, Tenn., “told me of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Sanative Wash. I took six bottles of the Vegetable Compound. I could sleep and would get up ip the morning singing and feeling fine. I am the mother of three children, and always after the babies came I had to take treatments, but I can truly say that this last time I have only used the Sanative Wash It. does more good than anything else. It keeps me on my leet to care ror my children and I do most of my work. I feel it my duty to let you know how both of the medicines have helped me.” Another Happy Woman “I read about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound In the little books you give away and began to ts.ke the medicine. After the first few bottles I began to feel better and could eat better and had fewer headaches. I feel like a different person. At anytime that I don’t feel good I take the Vegetable Compound again, as I always keep a bottle on hand. You may use this letter for every word is true. I will answer any letters sent to me.” —Mas. Jrarnie Bollekman, 611-llth St., Union City, N. J. This dependable medicine has been In use for over fifty years. —Advertisement.
