OP ACT C

Consists Entirely.of Adjusting the Movable Segments of the Spinal Column to Normal Position

HOW DOES NERVE' IMPINGEMENT CAUSE DISEASE? The spine, or backbone, is composed of 24 vertebrre, movable segments, or series of joints forming a supporting column from which the muscular activities radiate. These vertebrre form the neural canal that contains the spinal cord, and from both sides of the spinal cord are sent out 31 pairs of nerve trunks that pass through small openings (see cut), between each of these vertebrre, passing to the different organs of the body, conveying from the brain the vital force or mental impulse which is life and health to every part. When these vertebrre are in position the nervous tissue conveying life and health are protected; when the vertebrre are out of alignment the nerve trunk is pressed upon as it passes between them (see cut), and its carrying capacity is reduced, thus causing disease; or, if the pressure is sufficient, it cuts off the nerve supply entirely and paralysis and death result, because the health of every organ of the body, and the power to perform its functions, is supplied through the nervous system. Chiropractors adjust the subluxated vertebrre to relieve the pressure on the nerve trunk. How a subluxated vertebrae occurs and how it can cause pressure on a nerve trunk is readily seen by the acco~panying cuts. Alfred Walton, M. D. (Harvard 1879), says: The spine has more to do than any other factor wtth the maintenance of health on the one hand or the establishment of disease on the other."

fin Open. Letter Do you recall one of those rare moments in life when the veil is lifted for a moment, when a breath of inspiration comes like a flash, when the future seems to be suddenly illuminated, when you feel a mastery stealing into hands and brain, when you see yourself as you really are, see the things you might do, the things you can do, when forces too deep for expression, too subtle for thought, take possession of you, and then as you look back on the world again, you find it different, something has come into your life-you know not what, but you know it was something very real?

Winning victories is a matter of morale, of consciousness, of mind. Would you bring into your life, more money" get the money consciousness, more power, get the power consciousness, more health, get the health consciousness, more happiness, get the happiness consciousness? Live the spirit of these things until they become yours by right. It will then become impossible to keep them from you. The things of the world are fluid to a power within man by which he rules them.

• • •

You need not acquire this power. You already have it. But you want to understand it; you want to use it; you want to control it; you want to impregnate yourself with it, so that you can go forward and carry the world before you.

And what is this world that you 'would carry before you? It is no dead pile of stones and timber; it is a living thing! It is made up of the beating hearts of humanity and the indescribable harmony of the myriad souls of men, now strong and impregnable, anon weak and vacillating. It is evident that it requires understanding to work with material of this description; it is not work for the ordinary builder.

If you, too, would go aloft, into the heights, where all that you ever dared to think or hope is but a shadow of the dazzling reality, you may do so. Upon receipt of your name and address, I will send you a copy of a book by Mr. Bernard Guilbert Guerney, the celebrated New York author and literary critic. It will afford the inspiration which will put you in harmony with all that is best in life, and as you come into harmony with these things, you make them your own, you relate with them, you attract them to you. The book is sent without cost or obligation of any kind, yet many who have received ,it say that it is by far the most important thing which has ever come into their lives.

Be careful that you do not miss this wonderful opportunity because of its great simplicity. Get your letter in the mail today; it will take but a moment, but it may be the supreme moment, in which you may discover the secret for which the ancient alchemists vainly sought, how gold in the mind may be converted into gold in the heart and in the hand!

Have16uAs Good a Memory As this Elephant? AT th 1 ew rk Hippodrome p opl hay be n amaz d by th mar lou a t of ptain Gorge Pow r' I phant . In the famou Ba eball c ne the I phant actually playa gam of ball. 11th hundred ancl on little motion ar gon through ju t a you e th m on th ba ball diamond. The ball i actually thrown from the pi tch r' trunk. and clevr1y caugh t by the trunk of the catcher. Th bat man keep hi

.rl..

eye on the ball, swings when he gets onc to suit him and runs when he makes a good clean hit. Many little side plays take place, the signals of the catcher. the whispered conferences between catcher and pitcher, the scraping of the feet, the pounding on the plate and various signs of impatience on the part of the ponderous batsman. No instructions are given by the trainer-they are not needed. For an elephant IItver forgets. These animals know not hing about the significance of the game they play-it is purely a demonstration of their extraordinary power of memory. The Baseball Scene was put on at one time, after a lapse of 4 r,ears, WITHOUT A REHEAR AL and not a ing e little by-pia)' had been forgotten. 'ature has given the Elephant miraculou. memory power. which might well be the envy of the average man or woman. Yet. if one knows how one can ea.ily and Quickly attain a retentive memory be.ide which the memory of any animal would be in.ignificant.

Cuvier's Marvelous Memory The famous uvier for example, knew the secret. When a large part of a book of accounts had been de.troyed by fire he restored the several thou.and figure. accurately from memory without a single error. uch feats for most of u. seem like an almo.t .upernatural development. Vet you will probably be .urpri d to know that in one single evening anyone can master the .ecret of a "mind which never forget ....

An Amazing Experience That Brought Thousands of Dollars Let Mr. Victor Jone. tell of hi. experience in finding out about this a.toni.hing secret: "A. we went into the banquet room," Mr. Jones relates. "the toastmaster was introducing a long line of gue.t. to Mr. Roth. I got in line and Mr. Roth a ked me: 'Mr. Jone., what are your initial., your bu.ine.. connection. and your telephone number?' "Why he asked this I learned later, when he picked out from the crowd the 60 men he had met two hollts before, and called each one by name without a mi.take. What i. mor , he named each man's busine•• and telephone number for good measure. "He did many other amazing things. He called back long li.t. of number, stock Quotation., bank clearing., parcel post rate., etc., that were read out to him. A pack of card. were shuffled. then the names of the cards in their pre eot position were called out to him. He turned hi, back toward the cards and instantly named the cards in the order in which they now .tood in the pack. Then named them in reverse orner. "When I afterward compliment d 1\Ir. Roth on these marvelou. feat., he said, 'You can do this just a ea.i1y a. I do. Vou can learn Quickly to remember anything you wi.h-names. faces, fact, figures, business data, articles you've read, etc.'"

Learn the Secret in One Evening "I can teach you th <ecret of a good memory in. one evening," )Ir. Roth continued. 'I have done this with thousand.. In the first of seven simple Ie son. which I have prepared so that any one can follow them at home, I explain the ba.ic principle of my whole system. Best of all. it doe n't eem like work or study. It' like playing a fascinating game." "Well, I could hardly wait until the next day to get hi. cour.e from his publishers, the IndeJ)('ndent orporation. When I tackled the fir ties on I was the most .urpri. d man in 48 tates. I found that in one hour I had learned how to remember a list f one hundred worcls, '0 that I could repeat them forward and backward. without a .ingle mistake I And it wa but a Question of day. before I learned to do exactly what he had done. At first I amu ed my.df with my new-found ability by amazing people at partie.. My "memory-feat," as my friends called it, .urely made a hit, and I was showered with invitation for all oort. of affair. If anyone were to a.k me how Quickly to' develop social popularity, I would tell him to learn my memory 'feat.'" I discovered that my memory training had literally put a razor edge on my brain. ~I y mind had become clearer, Quicker, keener. I was fast acquiring that mental gra.p and alertne•• I had .0 often admired in men who were spoken of a. 'wonder ' and 'geniuse.: Formerly I never could think of thing to say until the conversation was over. But now I can think like a fla h. I never have to he itate for the right word or the right thing to ""y.

Brought Business Advancement "It wa.n't long b fore my new-found ability to remember things attracted the attention of our presid nt. He got in the habit of calling me in whenever he wanted facts about the business. Hesaid: 'Vou can alway. tell me in.tantly what I want to know. while the other fellow. annoy me by saying 'I'll look it up: l'ln fact, my newt}, aCQuir"d memor)· power ha been of the great st value in my busme s car..eer. Very .ub tantial and .teady increase. in my alary are directly due to the ecret I learned from lIlr. Roth. "I could t II hundred. of way. I have profited by my trained memory.

How VVe Stopped the Leaks

That Kept Us Poor How Howard Lindsay and His Wife Discovered an Easy Way to Save OneThird of Their Income. A Secret That Applies to Any Income

By HARRISON OTIS

W

HO hould walk into the room, but Howard Lindsay! Of all th m n perhap he was the la t I had xpected to find a the pr sident of thi gr at new company, They had told me that Mr, Lindsay. of th onsolidated. was looking for a fine country hom and was inter ted in buying th Dollard Place in Engl wood; so as utor of the Dollard estate I had come to di u the terms with him. But Lindsay I urely some mira Ie had happened, For it was the very man who had come to me "dead broke" about four years ba k and asked me to h Ip him g' tan w job. "You are surpri d, Mr. tis, I can s e that without your tiling me. L t that real state matter r st for a moment while I tell y u how the change happened. It won't take fi,· minutes. It all ems simple as A B ,as I look ba k on it now.

How I t All Began "Our new liCe beRan when we discov r d how 10 sai't monty. That happened 900n after J started in the n w job yuh lped me seCUre. And it all cam about right in my own home. Our sole source of supply was my salary of $3.000. That first year we didn't save one cent. Besides that. w woke up on New Year'. day to find a big bunch of unpaid bill to b taken care of somehow or other out of future salary checks. "When I a k d myself the reason for all this I found that I did not know the reason, and no more did my wife, because we hadn't the faintest idea what our money had been spent for. "Then we looked 'around among our friends and learned a great lesson. "The Weeds, I knew, were getting more than $5.000 a year. They lived in a modest apartment. did not wear fine cloth s. seldom went to the theatr . did Iittl entertaining, yet w knew th y barely had enough money to pay current bills. "In the case of the Wells. I found a ver}' different t r}' and one that set me thinking hard. Their income was 2,000 a }' art yet. to my amazement. the}' confided to u that they had saved 600 a year ever since they were married. They didn't have an)' grand opera in their program--except on their little Victrola-but they did go to the theatre regularly, they wore good clothes, entertain d their friends at their hom and w re about th happi st and mo t contented couple of all our married friends, "The difference b tween these two families was that in one case the expenditure were made with· OUl any plan-whih.> in the other the income was regulated on a weekly budg t system. "We sat down that evening and made up a bud Ret of all our xpen es for the n Xt fifty-two we ks, We di overed leak galore. We found a hundred ways where little accounts could be '·ed. "In one hort month we had a ' trangle hold' on our ('xpen s and knew ju t where we were going. In one year. my wife proudly produced a bank book .howing a tidy saving account of 800.

My New Grip on Business "In lhC" mt:'antimr an extraordinary change had come o\"('r me in business.

"I didn't fully realize this until th pr sident cal1cel me in onc da)" and said. 'Lindsay. you have been doinll xcelllionnily well. I have been studying your work f r th(' lasl year and you have saved the company a lot of mone}'. We have decided to give you a'1 interest in the bu iness.'

there you are. It is wonderful, isn't it? I often wi h I might t II my story to the thousandg of young married coup1 s who ar havinA the hardest tim of their Iiv s just when th y ought to be having the best time." now I have the opportunity and you are lucky, if only you will act on the wand riul message this story contain.

Why Some PeopleAre Never At EaseAmong Strangers EOPLE of culture can be recognized at once. They are calm, well-poised. They have a certain dignity about them, a certain calm as urance which make people rc pect them. It i becau e they know exactly what to do and say on every occa ion that they are able to mingle with the 010 t highly cultivated people and yet be entirely at ea e.

P

But there are ome people who are never at ease among trangers. Be au e they do not know the right thing to do at the right time, they are awkward, elf-conscious. They are afraid to accept invitations because they do not know what to wear, how to acknowledge' introductions, how to make people like them, They are timid in the presence of celebrated people because they do not know when to rise and when to remain seated, when to speak and when to remain ilent, when to offer one's chair and when not to. They are alway uncomfortable and embarras ed when they are in the company of cultured men and women. It is only by knowing definitely, without the slightest doubt, what to do, say, write and wear on all occa ions under all conditions, that one i able to be dignified, charming and well-poi ed at all times.

How Etiquette Gives Charm and Poise Etiquette means good manners. It means knowing what to do at the right time. what to say at the rigbt time. It consists of certain important little laws of good conduct that have been adopted by the best circles in Europe and America and which serve as a barrier to keep the uncultured and ill-bred out of the circles where they would be uncomfortable and embarrassed.

center crease be allowed to remain? lay lump sugar be taken up with the fingers? There are other problems. too -many of them. Should the man rise when he accepts a cup of tea from the hostess? hould he thank her? Who should' be served first? What should the guest do with th cup when he or she has finished the tea? Is it good form to accept a second cup? What i the secret of creating onversation and making people find you pleasant and agreeable? It i so easy to commit embarrassing blunders. so easy to do what is wrong. But etiquette tells us ju t what is expected of us and guards us from all humiliation and discomfort.

Etiquette in Public Here are some Questions which will help you find out just how much you know about the etiqu tt that must be observed among strangers. See how many of them you can answer. \-Vhen a man and woman enter the theatre together. who walks first down the aisle? When the usher points out the seats. doc the man enter first or the woman? May a man leave a woman alone during intermission? There is nothing that so Quickly reveals one's true station and breeding than awkward, poor manners at the table. Should the knife be held in the left hand or the right? Should olives be eaten with the finger or with a fork? How is lettuce eaten? What is the correct and cultured way to eat corn on the cob? Are the finger-tips of both hands placed into the finger-bowl at once, or just one at a time?

"THAT' right, Jones. I told Mr. Dumas that I b Iieved if anyone in this office wa apable of closing such a deal you were. But how did you ever manage to g t that tough old bird to ign up for uch an ord r? "hy, it' big enough to keep the entire factory working overtime for at least two month and this during the dull season I" Th 51.' few words. overheard a I was entering our les Manager's office, pretty nearl)' made me jump out of my shoes. Here was Jones-a man who had only been with u a lillIe over three months, walking off with absolutely the biggest plum in the wholesale field. He had closed an order that everl'one of our older "star" salesmen had fallen down on. \ hat on earth wa to account for his extraordinary success? There was something about Jonas emirely different from 010 t other people I'd ever met. He always seemed to know just what to say to get on the right ide of anybody. He could take even the most common place sales argument and expr them in a manner that compelled intere t. People po itively went out of their way tobe nice to him. In his hands even the 010 t I disgruntled customer was easily pacified. Indeed, the more I saw of Jones the more I wondered how he had acquired this magic power.

The Secret of His Startling Success One dal', at lunch I came out with the question. He langhed good naturedly: stalled a bit; then began: "I don't milch care to talk about my.elf, but if I must. I shall ha vI.' to start with a confe ion. "Up to a year ago I knew nothing about the wonderful power of language. "( had been out to Chical:o for my firm and was returning on the Broadway Limited. "By chance ( truck UP an aCQuaintance with a man who had the

chair next to mine in the Pu IIman. From the very first words the stranger's brilliant powers of conveJation arrested me. His keen nowledge of persons and things, his flashing wit and charming persona!ity, thrill d me to the core. 'ever before or ince has it been my good fortune to meet such an interI.' ting' companion and forceful talker. When we exchanged names I found that I had been talking to Dr. Frederick Houk Law, the famous educator and lecturer. "A few weeks later J was delil:hted to read an an, nounc ment that Dr. Law had just completed a course of egiht lessons explaining the Whole secr t of business (talking and public peaking, entitled "Mastery of peech." "Well, after what ( had seen of Dr. Law ( needed no persua ion to send for the book imm diately. And it was what I learned from those lillIe Ie ons

by Mr. Law that has opened the way to my success ever since. For in almost one evening he gave me the whole secret of becoming a convincing talker. "I was surprised to find how easy it became to a!tract attention to what J was saying-how to be forceful and convincing-and when to be witty or serious. I saw, too. why J had always b en nervous about expre ing myself in the presence of others and was shown how to develop self-confidenc . "I learned. how to win people around to my way of thinking without antagonizing them. I found too that I had developed the knack of public speaking-how to address large audi nces; how to find material for addres s, how to speak to friends and strangers.

From that Day My Whole Career Changed "From the very fir t I was amazed atOll' new discovered power to talk on my feet under any and all circumstance~.

New Stomachs for Old In 48 Hours By R. S. Thompson HOUSANDS of people who suffered for years with all sorts of stomach trouble are walking around to-day with entirely re-made stomach - tomach which have 'been re-made in from 48 to 72 hour! They enjoy their meals and never have a thought of indigestion, con tipation, or any of the serious illnes es with which they formerly suffered and which are directly traceahle to the t?mach. And these surprising results have been produced not by drugs or medicines of any kind, not by foregoing ubstantial food , not by eating specially prepared or patented foods of any kind, but by eating the plainest, simplest foods correctly com-

These facts were forcibly brought to my mind by Eugene hristian, the eminent Food ientist, who is said to have successfully treated over 23,000 people with foods alone.

"Man Is What He Eats"

In five weeks every abnormal symptom had disappeared-his weight having increased 6 lbs. In addition to thi , he acquired a store of phy ical and mental energy so great in comp<:ri on with his former elf as to almo t belie the fact that it was the same man. ,\nother in tance of what proper food combinations can do almost overnight was that of a man one hundred pounds 0 erweight whose only other discomfort was rheumati m. This man's greatest pleasure in life wa eating, Though convinced of the nece sity, he hesitated for months to go under treatment, believing he would be deprived of the pleasures of the table. He finally, however, decided to try it out. ot only did he begin 10 ing weight within a few days, regaining hi normal figure in a matter of weeks, out all signs of rheumatism disappeared, and he found the new diet far more delicious to the taste, and affordmg a much keener quality of enjoyment than his old method of eating, and wrote Christian a letter to that effect.

Truth is often stranger than fiction as evidenced by the fact that I found an opportunity in a waste basket that quickly placed me in the $10,000 a year class.

By Philip Wilson

I

F anyone had told me a couple of years ago that I would be in the position I am in today, it would have made me sore, because at that time my prospects did not amount to a row of beans. After ten years drud ery as a bookkeeper I was only earning 35.00 a week. Further promotion was almo t impossible and even if it came my way, it could only mean five or ten dollars more a week at the most. From morning until night I worked on endless rows of figures, punched the clock on my arrival and again on quitting and had no relaxation whatever during the day. Frankly, I was sour on life and just felt that I was one of those mortals put on this earth to slave away at monotonous work until the breath of life left my body. And then, as though by a touch of magic, my entire prospects changed-thanks to a dilapidated old waste basket. And now for the other side of the picture. At the present time I am earning about $10,000 a year, have a comfortable home, earn enough to enjoy the luxuries that make life worth while, have a bank account that is growing each month, to say nothing of the fact that I am enga~ed in work that seems like play, that fascmates, thrills and enables me to live like a gentleman.

"What do you think of this, Jim," I asked him. Poor Jim, who is still in that stock room, only read the headline and sniffed in contempt. Anyway the advertisement set me thinking although my negative condition at that lime made me feel somewhat the way Jim did, but they say a "drowning man clutches at a straw" and probably for the same reason I ripped that advertisement out of the magazine and stuffed it in my lXlcket. Several times that afternoon I pulled it out and studied it carefully, Every time I read it my pulse Quickened. because if true at all, it pointed a way for me to increase my earning power many times over. to say nothing of getting away from the drudgery of bookkeeping. "Why couldn't I do the same? '; I asked myseU. Then Old Man Negative whispered in my ear that I was foolish to even think about it-that I was not cut out for it. So 1 put the advertisement in my desk and for the time being I forgot it.

In my own case for instance, it may sound like a fairy tale but at the en d of my first month I received a letter from m)· salescanag r congratulating me on my success.

Certainly you try to dress well and to be pleasing in the sight of others. Probably you have developed a tine firm handshake. When you entertain friends at dinner you serve food that will please their taste. But-do you do one single thing to make your voice pleasing to others? Remember that your voice is the one thing which puts you inaudible touch with the world. Your voice is to you what the telephone is to your community. Your voice can make your future or it can spoil it. You get but one chance at any big job. Are you sure that your voice won't kill that chance 1

Do You Know Your Own Voice? 00 you know what your voice sounds like, anyway? Dovouknow what effect it has upon others? If it has an ill effect you will never know it, because probably there is no one in the world who will tell you about it. People hesitate to injure another's feelings. That is the reason why thousands, even mil· lions of men and women. have gone through the world unsuccessful. or only fairly successful. who had the brains and ability to make tremendously big successes. AU of these people probably dressed well when they went after their /·ob. Their clothes were neat and c ean just like you attempt to keep yours. Their shoes wereshined and theirfaceswere smiling but they carne away without the job because they couldn't talk.

PHYSICAL CULTURE BERNARR MACFADDEN'S VIEWPOINT How Deep Is Beauty?

H ow

often the statement has been made that beauty is only skin deep, that it is shallow, superficial, and meant only for outside "show." But this is false. Real beauty is as deep as the body itself. It is a part of every organ throughout the body. For beauty, after all, means symmetrythe harmonious blending of all parts into a symphony of contour and grace. Beauty is not merely of the face and body, the eyes, the skin, the lips, the features. Beauty is something more. To. be really beautiful, you must be throbbing with the forces of life. An unattractive face is sometimes transformed by a smile that will make it fascinating with irresistible allurement. Beauty presupposes youth, vivacity, aliveness, buoyancy. Beauty of the cold, immovable type is often unattractive and even repelling. It is not unlike the beauty associated with a stone statue. We have all seen girls of this type, with seemingly frozen features. With all their harmony in facial outline and symmetry of body, there is no fascination about them. Their smile is icy, frigid and sometimes even repugnant. Beauties of this kind are often left, in icy isolation, while their more commonplace but more magnetic sisters win the real prizes of life. Therefore, the most vital element of beauty might be termed "aliveness." The girl who is throbbing with the vital forces of life, who is buoyant with the spirit of youth, who is animated and vivacious, is richly endowed with the fascinating powers inherent in splendid femininity. Whether or not you possess beauty of face and form, your first duty therefore, is to acquire that degree of health that fills you to the "very brim" with the vital, palpitating forces associated with superb health. Aliveness! ! ! The word has a world of significance to the woman who desires real, lasting beauty.

right: selling the alluring forces of femininity to the god of form and fashion. There is no greater wealth than HEALTH. Let us say, here is a young girl fresh from school. She has had the advantages of the average amount of physical activity, probably about one quarter of . what she really should have had. She ultimately finds herself thrust into a sphere where she must act the part of a woman. She must wear the clothes, assume the manners ordinarily associated with ladylike maturity. Active games are no longer a part of her life. Her muscular system has never secured sufficient of the exercise which is necessary to properly develop it. Consequently what little physical power she has, begins to wane as she follows the vitally destructive routine of the average woman. Health and strength are sacrificed to the dictates of conventional ruling.

..

The Average Girl Marries

UT let us say this girl we are discussing is sufficiently attractive to find a satisfactory mate. She mames-a step in the dark. Marriage to her is all romance. She is usually most thoroughly imbued with the delights associated therewith. She knows little or nothing of its responsibilities. It is not unlike the blind leading the blind. She finally comes in contact with the unhappiness often associated with married life. Let us say one or two children come into the home. Two is the usual number in up-to-date American families. At twenty-five or thirty she begins to age. The efforts that are made to avoid motherhood often have a great deal to do with this premature aging process. At the time of life when she should be in her prime, at her very best, she is the victim of ill health, with a gradual weakening of her physical forces. The muscles and other tissues of the body become soft, flabby and often diseased. She is no longer a woman in every sense of the word. She has lost a large part of even the mediocre degree of femininity which she previously possessed. Consequently she often becomes sour, morose, dissatisfied and quarrelsome. T IFE holds many tragedies. We all come in trsually at this time there is little love between L contact with them. They often scourge the husband and wife. It is, mostly, pretense.

But even such heart-rending experiences are less To what extent has she changed?

Life's Greatest Tragedy!

1.;


Bernarr Macfadden's Viewpoint

...

This tissue will be strong vitally, if it is properly used and nourished.

The Average Woman Has a Defective Body

T

HE average woman, first of all, fails to develop

her body, and to a similar extent fails to develop fully the instincts of femininity which are such an important part of her personality. And then, after having grown to maturity, even her defective muscular system does not secure the activity which is essential to maintain its mediocre vitality. Everywhere we see the wrecks of womanhood. On the streets of a large city, or even in small towns, these feminine tragedies stare us in the face. Poor, miserable human wrecks. They are to be pitied. And yet they do not know any better. They are doubtless doing the best they can under the circumstances in which they have grown to maturity. They have never learned to really live. But few of them have felt the fire and fervor of splendid femininity. But few of them have been animated by the vivacity and aliveness that usually is enjoyed by a girl in the heyday of her youth. If the average woman were to be told that this buoyancy of spirit, this life and health, that a vigorous girl' enjoys at this time of life, could be continued on and on, year after year, until twenty-five, thirty, forty and sometimes even beyond fifty, she would laugh at you derisively.

Every Woman Can Ret.ain Youthful Spirits , BUT when I say that every woman has this opportunity-that every woman can keep her youthful spirits as stated, I am simply making the statement of a fact that is absolute, unequivocal. I do not need to go far to prove, beyond all possible doubt, the truth of this assertion. For this proof I will turn to the stage-to the women who have made reputations in this strenuous, nerveracking profession. . There is no occupation that compels you to break the laws of life and health more seriously than the stage. The hours are irregular and you have to sleep whenever you can. You are often compelled to eat unwholesome food. It is frequently not what you should, but what you can get, that must nourish you. Yet we have any number of examples of women who have led a life of this character and who have still retained their youth and the vivacity and spirits associated therewith, to an age when the average woman is a dried-up wreck of humanity. It is hardly necessary to compute a list. There are Bernhardt, Lillian Russell, Julia Marlowe, Mary Garden and scores of others whose names could be mentioned, to demonstrate in the most startling manner, the fact that youth can be retained. Life's greatest tragedy for a woman, is the loss of youth, the loss of feminine charm. There is nothing worse. And this loss can be avoided in practically every case, if women will learn the laws of health and rigidly adhere to them. PHYSICAL CULTURE has pointed out again and again the rules which must be adhered to if one is fully to 16

develop the body and preserve its health and vigor. Why, the very means that many women use to enhance their charms have in many instances, prematurely destroyed them. Powder and paint close the pores and make the skin of the face unhealthy, pimply and unsightly in many ways. These results may take years to develop: but where the skin is filled with dirt, in the form of powder and paint, it is impossible to maintain it in a healthy condition. White dirt is just as unwholesome and, harmful as black dirt, and this being so, powder and soot are in the same class. Restrictive clothing of all kinds impairs the circulation, lessens the freedom of movement and makes the flesh of the body soft and flaccid with wrinkles and other defects associated with old age. And high heels make walking difficult. They throw the weight of the body out of alignment, help to bring on female weaknesses and make exercise of all kinds more difficult. The real lasting charms of womanhood come entirely through superabundant health. Every alluring force which is a part of beauty is combined, interwoven so closely with health that it cannot be separated from it.

..

Beauty Goes When Health Leaves You

W

HEN you lose your health you begin slowly

but surely to lose your beauty and every attraction associated with it. The more health you have, the more beauty you will possess. Not that pronounced, heavy muscles are essentially a part of superb health, but smooth and firm muscles are beautiful and symmetrical. . And be sure to remember that vitality of- this sort means the retention of youth for a prolonged period. A body that is soft, grows old quickly. Where hard muscles, firm flesh are the foundation of beauty, one is able to retain these attractive forces far past the usual time. . Any beautiful woman who has the brains essential to take proper care of her physical gifts, develops her greatest charm, her most alluring, fascinating powers, between the ages of thirty and forty. A woman is not completely developed until she is twenty-five or thirty and she should retain her charms for many years thereafter. And think of the prize that is awaiting you. Beauty. A strong, splendidly poised body. ¡Personality. Magnetism. What are powers of this sort worth to the average woman?

A New Magazine for Women

T

HE need for health-building, youth retaining

knowledge is everywhere so appalling that we have determined to publish a new magazine for the exclusive needs of women. We will call this magazine "THE WOMAN BEAUTIFUL:' We cannot make a definite statement as to when this publication will appear. The columns of PHYSICAL CULTURE are so crowded that it is impossible to present properly a theme of such tremendous importance and we want a publication in which we can entertainingly present to women, every month, information that is of more value to them than anything else in life, because it will aid them in maintaining the youth and charm of femininity to advanced years.

The Day Off B y Dr. F ran k era¡ n e

T

AKE a Day Off. Keeping everlastingly at it brings success. we are told. Maybe it does. Also it brings nervous prostration. You may be in a hurry to finish the wood pile. but you will get through all the quicker if you stop once in a while and spi t on your hands. Some one has said that success depends upon intelligent idleness. This is a paradox: but life is made up of paradoxes, and health is life. Health indeed is a matter of balance, of avoiding extremes; and there are very few rules for health that can be taken unreservedly. We must mix common sense with them all. Hence perhaps the best health rules are paradoxes. For instance, to be too serious is almost as bad as not being serious at all. Another paradox carrying the same lesson is that Time Lost is Time Gained. These statements are not absolute truths. They contain the truth as the hickory nut contains a kernel. And the great truth is that life is rhythmic. Progress to be permanent must go in waves, and not as a ccntinuous stream. No matter what you do. stop a while. And the more important the thing is that you have to do the more important it is that you stop. The merchant is extremely anxious that his business enterprise shall be successful. He rises early every morning; is at his desk before his clerks; and comes home late at night. He drives things with a hard hand. This may be very well; but he will go further and do better work if once in a while he takes a day off and plays golf. The boy who is anxious to succeed in school cannot drive away at his studies every day and give his mind no relaxation without paying the penalty which outraged nature will demand. Let him take a day off and spend it in the woods or at the seashore. Nobody needs a day off like the mother. for nobody's cares are so constant and trying. Let her take a day off frequently and go over to Aunt Sue's where she can loaf and be petted. The preacher needs a day off when he can forget his position and responsi~ bilities and play ball or go fishing. The doctor, the lawyer, the mechanic, the stenographer; everybody needs a Day Off. So important is this that the Creator wrote it into the Ten Commandments that one day in seven man should rest from his labors. This is not an artificial rule made to promote the welfare of the church. It is the recognition of a deep psychological law; that occasional repose is necessary for efficiency. Particularly if you feel dumpy and your nerves are frazzled and you are unable to concentrate your mind, and everything you do is wrong. and your fingers are all thumbs, and 'you find yourself slipping into that mood of irritation and inefficiency that sometimes comes upon us. That is the time to take a Day Off. . And it is not a bad plan once in a while to spend the day in bed. Do not get up at all. Play sick. Think of nothing as nearly as you can.. Read a detective story or something that is pure diversion. Playa game of cards with the children. and so give nature a chance to marshal her recuperative forces. Even in religion. it is a good plan once in a while to go out and play. This does not mean that we are to be irreligious or wicked. But that once in a while we should relax our seriousness and dip into the humor and the freedom of child and animal life.

In tead of meeting him with a smile when he come home she meet him with a dirty kitchen sink and a kitchen table filled with dirty dishes. I am divorced. My wife was a good woman. In the beginning I couldn't bear the thoughts of 10 ing her. One day, while she was in a temper, he told me he would get rid of me. "What do you mean?" I a ked. ""'hat do I mean," she screamed. "I mean the divorce courts, that' what I mean." I wa frightened. The thought of living my life apart from her wa unbearable. he wa ab olutely in the wrong in the argument-if argument it wa -but I went on my knees to her and begged her pardon for something I hadn't done.

Pit y the Old Maid By Bernar'r Macfadden

O

LD maids! Walking human trag路 edies I would call them. In some instances God-forsaken physical wrecks. They are paying the penalties for their earthly sins, in, ,most instances unknowingly committed. They have broken physical laws and God's laws, and the stigma of their violation is branded upon their faces and bodies indisguisably. Thin, at times bordering on emaciation, they bitterly denounce those who do not repress their buoyant spirits. They are usually religious, though their creed is often of the "dry rot" sort. Much hypocrisy frequently mars their personality. Prurient prudery often rules them. When they hear of a marriage in their community, they snicker and tum up their noses. And when some man or some woman is indiscreet, their tongues have scorching powers like that of a red hot iron that sears to the bone. They see sex in all its lowest, vilest interpretations. , And their tongues can lash with the stinging force of the cattle whip. They are not entirely to blame. They are creatures of their environments. They are the products of dried-up, fossilized associations. They have grown up with prurient prudery contaminating them on all sides. They have been denied the privileges, the divine maternal responsibilities for which the soul of every woman craves. Every old maid was at one time a young girl. She had dreams of a home and mother路 hood and a sweetheart for a husband. But SOCI ETY denied her these privileges. She was left out of the race. The men did not appreciate her. And finally she was put on the sheHan old maid. But if she could have realized the truth -that she was to blame-that she could have prevented the drying-up process44

could have remained alive, vigorous, ~ital, comely-would she have kno~ingly joined the old maid class? , Old maids, are physically starved as well as sex starved. They have come to a neuter gender status because, to a large extent, they are physically dead. They are walking automatons, so far as concerns the instinctive appeals of femininity. They have fallen to this state because' they have neglected the physical laws. They have allowed their bodies to dry up. They have fossilized their sex natures, and in consequence they are suffering penalties that God has meted out to them. "Multiply and replenish the earth" is a divine command. It is a command that is in full accord with feminine instincts. Old maids are unnatural. They are often inhuman. The opportunities of life have gone by them. To begin with, there is no excuse for old maids. A woman may be old in years but young in feeling if she properly maintains her physical personality. I have seen dried-up old maids blossom out into youn'g girls, recapturing the appearance and spirit of youth. I have seen them "fatten-up," adding twenty to thirty pounds of good solid tissue. I have seen their eyes brighten, their lips redden, as the potency of physical rejuvenation stirred their deadened tissues. The laws of physical life demand the elimination of the old maids. A woman may be old in years but should be young in spirits, fresh and alive in appearance, so full of health and of the joy of living as to make her realize that life is a long ways from being "done." The spirit of youth, no matter how old you may be, will kill the old maid within you as dead as a door nail. And every old maid can be young if she has the determination and intelligence to follow the rules essential to the reten路 tion of a glowing physical personality.

What Would You Do·in This Case? A Personal Problem Department Conducted by Carl Easton Williams

you one' of the eugenics schemers? Has it been one of your dreams that you would like to start a fund to encourage parenthood among tho e best fitted to be parents? Since you have figured it all out for yourself that eugenics or race improvement is entirely a matter of the birth rate, in relation to the kind of people who contribute to it-which, you hold, ays all that there is to ay about race improvement-have you decided, accordingly, that the way to improve the human race i to become a millionaire 0 that you can supply money to tho e who ought to have children, but who deny them elves that bles ing because they cannot afford it? We have met thi idea of the endowment of motherhood in so many place , that we wonder if it is not an idea that is original with hundred of the people who are intere ted in that practice of voluntary parenthood or voluntary re traint of parenthood that would mean race improvement. The following letter is, we think, typical of the viewpoint of many who have thought about the subject. It i from a young woman of ideas and ideal .

And the chances are ten to one that money so given among industriou , educated person', would eventuall~' be returned to the fund, po ibly not for a period of ten year, but even so, it would be possible to collect interest on it anyhow, and even if that failed, there ought to be sufficient "interest" and "returns" in the sight of a sturdy generation growing up in America. Doubtless, persons whose life work is along these lines could work out the idea and modify it so that it need not be so visionary, but it is what I have thought, and I thought you might find it intere ting.

The Would-Be Mother-Who Cannot Afford To Marry

l~or the pa t eight years Kature ha made it manifest to me that I 'want to be married, to be mated, but Society has Conoed a condition of affairs upon me that prevent me from leaving my home. To speak plainly, ours is a co-operative family, one that has grown up comfortably, but a the family started out without capital, and as we were rather indulgent-as far as our mans 'would permit-to ourselve , to-day it is out of the que tion for me to take away from the hou ehold my contribution to its upkeep without depriving my mother and father of thing they have gotten to look upon as llC<.oe ities. All told, this contribution doesn't exceed the mall sum of nine hundred to eleven hundred dollars in the year, but were I to leave home, the gas, telephone, electric light and mortgage bills, and the maintenance of a younger si ter (including large denti ·t bills for her) would not, in fact, could not be met by our famil~' trea 'ury unles the hou e were sold. And a there i nothing selfish about my parents, I can't present my problem to them, as they never could under tand. ow, for the ake of a tnousand dollars a year, I must remain unmarried, wilh a heart that long for children, and a fund of worth-while qualities that I could tran mit to po terity going to waste (in a sense), although a I influence pretty much the mall circle in which I move, perhap not all is wa. ted. , after con iderable thought, and ob ervation of otber , I am wondering why witb the w~\lth of tbis ation a fund couldn't be gotten together to finance per on like me.

Our correspondent has ventur d the thought that perhap her sugge tion ound vi ionary. "e believe that it is extremely vi ionary-for the rea on that anything that could be accomplished along these line would be of so limited a nature, and mu t necessarily affect 0 few persons, that the effect in raising the level of the mas of the population would be almo t completely negligible. The suggestion is impractical in very much the same way as that pretty theory that if the money of the rich cpuld be divided among the very poor, everyone would have plenty, which i not true. It has been figured out, for in tance, that if the salary of the ten thousand dollar executive were to be di tributed among the manual workers in the factory under him, it would mean 0 little for each one, that it would probably not affect their general tatus at all. If one-half of the money spent in research work for the betterment of the race were given out as ugge ted, it would have practically no influence in Ie sening the number of the misfits and cripples, as she thinks, for the rea on that the limited money now pent in that way would bring up very few children. The mo t practical di position of this money is in the direction of re earch and educational work, to the end that public opinion may b de\ eloped along the line of eugenics with the re:ult of rai ing the le\el of the entire race. The educational work bing done by PRYSl AL CULTURE in popularizing the truth about heredity and the principle of eugenic' is in our opinion the most effective work that could be att .mpted along the e lines. There are practical difficultie , it would eem, in the way of determining who should judge of tho e who are worthy of parenthood to the extent of being upplied fund to make it po. ible for them to marry and rai a family. Again, how much money would be regarded as the proper sum to defray expen e , in view of the different 'tandard of living regarded a decent and nece ary by different individuals? hould the loan for parenthood be based 'upon the requirement of the thirty dollar a week individual? Or accordinn to the presumed needs of tho e living on a ten thou and dollar a year cale? We doubt if these practical detail could be very ea ily worked out. (Contintled on page .86)

Coffee and Condition: By J. Morgan Thorn, M. D.

The regular and sy tematic use of his entire mu cular y tem did wonder for him phy ically, as hi picture shows. He soon became one of the mighty army of Milobuilt meD. much for his phy ical development. but his mental development is even more interesting.

How about :)lour condition? For the athlete in training, coffee and other stimulants are bad. But what of Mr. Average Citizen. whose problem is ju t keeping in 100 per cent working condition? Is coffee as bad for him? Can a person who i a coffee drinker reach this condition? The harm is not so much in the coffee as in-but let Dr. Thorn explain all about it in STRE 'GTH for January.

VERY normal human being has a Hyo-Glossus muscle in his or her throat. A few very fortunate persons -like the late Caruso - are born with the ability to sing well. But even they must develop their natural gifts. Caruso had to work many years developing that muscle before his voice was perfect. Whether your v 0 ice is strong or weak, pleasant or unpleasant, melodious or harsh, depends upon the development of your Hyo-Glossus muscle. You can have a beautiful singing or speaking voice if that muscle is developed by correct training.

M.- descendant of a long line of musicians -famous in the music centers of Europe, Munich, Dresden, Berlin, Bayreuth, Vienna, Paris and Florence, for his success in training famous Opera Singers-discovered the secret of the Hyo-Glossus muscle. Dissatisfied with the methods used by the maestros of the Continent who went on year after year blindly following obsolete methods, Frofessor Feuchtinger devoted years of his life to scientific research. His reward was the discovery of the Hyo-Glossus. the "Singing Muscle". Professor Feuchtinger went even farther into the Science of Singing.

He perfected a system of voice training that will develop your Hyo-Glossus muscle by simple, s i len t exercises right in your own home.

Grand Opera Stars Among His Students Hundreds of famous singers have studied with Professor Feuchtinger. Over 10,000 happy pupils have received the benefits of his wonderful training.

Two constant dangersWe now know that food must protect us against them How science has Te'Yo[utionized the selection of the food we eat

I

T is now known that there are two dangers constant!y threateningour health - not having our body tissues built up and not ridding the body of poisonous waste matter.

Science has discovered that medicine cannot do this for us-that it is our daily food which must supply these great body needs. But many American meals lack the life-giving elements which build up body tissues and the elements which eliminate waste matter.

A familiar food 'With wonderful health gi..-ing properties Today millions are securing these needed food essentials by adding Fleischmann's Yeast to their regular diet. For yeast is the richest known source of the necessary water-soluble vitamin.

Fleischmann's Yeast stimulatesdigestion, builds up the body tissues and keeps the body more resistant to disease. In addition, because of its freshness, it helps the intestines in their elimination of poisonous waste matter. You get it fresh every day.

Laxati..-es gradually replaced

Fresh yeast has received general attention from the public since recent scientific testsprovedthat fresh yeast corrects run-down condition, constipadon, indigestion, and certain skin disorders. These original tests were all made with FIl:!ischmann's Yeast. Fleischmann'sYeast is a pure, fresh food, rich in vitarnin,in which it measures up to the high standards set by laboratories and hospitals.

A noted specialist, in his latest book, says of fresh, compressed yeast: "It should be much more frequently given in illness in which there is intestinal disturbance..." This is especially true in cases where the condition requires the constant use of laxatives. Fleischmann'sYeast is a corrective food, always fresh, and better suited to the stomach and intestines than laxatives. It is a food - and cannot form a habit. In tested cases normal functions have been restored in from 3 days to 5 weeks.

Skin disorders cleared up Many physicians and hospitals are

How I Get the Most Out of My Exercises (Continued from page 64)

By doing these last the xtra blood supply is left in the mo t important part of the body. .-\.void exercise within an hour after a meal-better two hours. If they have to come close together, take the exerci e first, and observe the rule to leave th blood in the abdominals. ever eat when exhausted. In bathing, each must have a law unto himself. Certain it is that the bath i an important part of any phy ical culture regime. If your exercise is taken at night warm or tepid water will be agreeable. I have known very few person who preferred cold water on retiring. In many cases it interfere with leep. In the morning a cold bath is an "eye opener" of real value, but do not use cold water at all if it disagrees with you. )Iany athletes u e salt in their bath , and some recommend the mustard bath. Personally I have found no special value in either; I recommend pure water. If you use a muscle lubricant I would uggest olive oil. Generally, it i the rna snge in connection with such treatments that d mo t of the good. nle you are a profe ional athlete and have to cultivat your ndvantage , it will pay you to specialize on your wenke t part. If your leg nre weak gh'e them extra thought and attention. If the~r are unusually long you will have some trouble bringing them to symmetrical proportions, and the sooner you begin the better. You must retain intere t in your trnining, for wh n thi Ie en benefits are certain to decrea e. A change of the exerci regime. occa ionnlly will pr vent monotony. Don't give Up' your favorite exerci e-just quit it for a while. It will pay in the long run..

"Those Who Dance Must Pay the Fiddler" There's a settlement in profit or loss, for nearly every indulgence.

&>m~times the pay-day is long deferreg, . 'and in that. caSe the settlement rpay bear cOthpound interest. Often' a:rp~yment in ill health is required for the dance had with tea or coffee during earlier years. Sometimes the collection comes in sleeplessness, sometimes in headaches, sometimes in high blood pressure, or in nervous indigestion - som~times in all these penalties. Nerves won't always stand the whipping of tea and coffee's drug, caffeine. If you've been dancing to tea or coffee's fiddling, why keep on till payment time comes? If you're beginning to pay, now, why not cancel the contract?

There's an easy and pleasant way to avoid tea and coffee's penalties, as thousands have found who have changed to Postum. It is a delight with any meal-rich, comforting and satisfying-and it never harms. Even the little children can have a breakfast cup of Postum with no fear for what may happen to sensitive nerves. Instead of paying penalties for your mealtime drink, let it pay benefits to you, by giving natural health a full chanc~and begin the new arrangement today. Any grocer will sell you, or any good restaurant will serve you Postum. Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) made by boiling for 20 minutes.

All Races are learning a new way to clean teeth This new way to clean teeth is preading all the world over. Leading dentists everywhere advise it. To millions of people it is daily bringing whiter, safer teeth. Everyone should make this ten-day test. See and feel the benefits it brings. Compare the new way \ ith the old.

To fight film. That viscous film you feel on teeth is their chief enemy. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. It dims the luster, spoils the beauty and causes most tooth troubles. Film is what discolors, not the teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay.

Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.

Much stays intact The ordinary tooth paste does not effectively combat film. The tooth brush, therefore, leaves much of it intact. So teeth discolor and decay despite the daily brushing. Very few people escape. Dental science has long sought ways to fight that film. Two ways have now been found. High authorities advi e them. Many careful tests have proved them. Both are embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And this modem tooth paste, nearly all the world over, is bringing a new dental era.

This pleasant ten.day test

W'

Id

We supply a pleasant ten-day test to everyone who asks. That test is most convincing. The results are a revelation. Each use fights film in two effective ways. It also brings three other effects which authorities deem essential. It multiplies the salivary flow. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva, to digest starch deposits that cling. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva, to neutralize the acids which cause tooth decay.

Thus every use immensely aids the natural forces designed to protect the teeth. Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the viscous film. See how teeth whiten as the filmcoats disappear. Watch the five effects. Repeat them for ten days. Then let the clear results show you what this method means, both to you and yours. Cut out the coupon now.

Do You Want $200 a Week? The Amazing Story of How Carl A. Rowe Jumped' from $200 to $1000 a Month Iy name is Rowe-Carl Rowe. I li\'e in a small city in 'e\\' York tate. I am going to tell you an amazing tory about myself. It may seem too strange to b Ii ve, but you can ea ily verify everything I have' to say. Two years ago I was a baker. I was struggling along, trying to mak the mon y in my pay env lope m t the increasing expen es of our family. There was no prospect for the future. Today, just two years later, I am a succe ful business man. I have plenty of money for all the things we need and want. Last month I made 876 during my spare time, and was able to put 200 a week in my savings account.

But as I read that ad I fund that it pointed to men who had mad that much and mor In th~ la l paragraph th ad\'ertis r ofT red to scnd a book without cost. I till d ubt d. But I thought it was \\. nh a two-c nt stamp, so I tore out thc coupon and put it in my pocket, and the next day on my way home from work I mailed it. "hen I look back to that day and realiz how close I came to passing up that ad, it send cold chills down my spine. If the book had co t me a thousand dollars in tead of a tWQ-cent

And I'm going to tell you how it happened.

And yet-today-I own our nineroom hou e. I have an automobile. I have money for books, the theater, or any other plea ures that I may want. I have the cash today to educate my son and send him through college. Here is how it happened. One day in glancing through a magazine I read an adverti ement. The advertisement said that any man could make from a hundred to three hundred dollars a month during his spare time. I didn't believe it. I knew that I worked hard eight hours a day for ·0 a week, and I figured that no man could make that much during a couple of ours a day spare time.

The Comer lanufacturing Company are one of the large t manufacturers of high-grade raincoat in America; but they do not II through tores. They sell their coats through local representative. The local repre entative does not have to buy a tockhe does not have to inve t any money. All he does is take order from Comer customers and he gets hi profit the same day the order i taken. Fully half of my customers come to my hou e to give me their order . My business i growing bigger every month. I don't know how great it will grow, but there are very few bu ine men in this city who e net profit i greater than mine, and I can ee only unlimited opportunity in the future.

Please remember that two years ago I had no surplus cash. I was in the same fix as nine ou t of ten oth r men. Expenses were con tantly mounting and my salary, although it had increa ed, could not keep pace with the cost of living. My wife had to do without thing that I knew she ought to have. \ e wanted an automobile, but we couldn't afford it. e wanted to buy our own home, but couldn't afford that. It made me desperate to think of what might happen if I became sick or 10 t my job. I worried about it, and 0 did my wife. v e w re living from hand to mouth, and we didn't know what calamity and hardships might be lurking just around the corner.

J anual'y, 1922 a I dared, using Ie . larch and sugar, eating Ie each meal than I wanted. Thi is a slow method' of r ducing, but afer than other plan. Fat people do not need heavy food eyery day. When accustomed to the setting-up exerci e and the. reducing diet a splendid way to reduce mor quickl~r is to set a ide every third dar and 110t eat. Ju t drink three or four gla. s of skimmed milk. The dar rou drink the milk you will 10 e. The day ~'ou cat you will gain, but each time all the weight 10 t i not regained, and graduall.v and af Iy, which is mo t important, ~rou will be able to keep to the weight you want without injury to your health. If you care to keep your figure, and I do, it i easy to weigh not oyer one hundred and thirty-nine pounds, for a height of five feet four inche . People said I should not care how fat I grew, now that I was well and could eat. I aid, "If you had ever seen my grandmother you would never eat again." Good health i our natural heritage, and it is a liberal education to know why we eat certain foods and why they are not alwa~rs what we need. For instance the serving of too much beef. Beef is found lacking in salts because the bones are not used. So I make a clear soup of bones only. Boil hank bone and the bone of rib roast from steak, etc., the best part of a day, salt and pepper, strain. add can of tomato puree, boil, strain and season to taste. Most sick people like this and it is nice served with a heavy meal. if one wants soup. My family do not, as my menus show. The way food is cooked, garnished and served; the lovely table, pretty silver, the Happy Family who refuse. to bring care or worry to a dinner table are fa tors equally as important as calories and vitamines to me. It's our unwritten law that no unpleasant subject be discussed at meal time. This fact alone would make a feast of husks. Some people say it is harder to be denied sugar than anyone article of food. Our boys found that out during the war. We also found its hardships 1\·hen we gave up all sugar in our homes that we might bake cakes for the boys who pas ed through our canteens. Most 6f u had sent our boys to France, so we madly baked cakes during the general movement of troops from the cantonment to Europe. Each woman baked' fn9ugh. of her special dainty to care for one coach, usually what her boy loved best. Mine were little tea cakes that were called:

Montana housewife. 0 far as she could see there

was nothing that made her different from thousands of other housewives. But she wrote a successful photoplay. And Thomas H. Ince, the great producer, was glad to buy it-the first she ever tried to write. "I had never tried to write for publication or the screen," she said in a letter to the Palmer Photoplay Corporation. "I II fact, I had no desire to write until I saw your advertisement." This is what caught her eye in the advertisement:

"Anyone with imagination and good story ideas can learn to write Photoplays." She clipped a coupon like the one at the bottom of this page, and received a remarkable questionnaire. Through this test she indicated that she possessed natural story-telling ability, and proved her elf acceptable for the training course of the Palmer Photoplay Corporation.

And Thomas H. Ince bought her first attempt

\\Tight and Prof. Malcolm MacLean. former teacher of short-story writing at Northwestern university. If you have any story-telling in tinct at all, send for this questionnaire and find out for yourself just how much talent you have. We will be frank with you. The Palm r Photoplay Corporation exists first of all to sell photoplays. It trains photoplay writers in order that it may have more photoplays to sell. With the active aid and encouragement of the leading producers. the Corporation is literally combing the country for new screen writers. Its Department of Education wa organized to produce the writers who can pr-Jduce the stories. The Palmer institution is the industry's accredited agent for getting the stories without which prod uction of motion pictures annot go o.n. Producers are glad to pay from $500 to li2000 for screen stories.

Not for "born writers," but for storytellers The acquired art of fine writing cannot be transferred to the screen. The same producer who bought Mrs. Thatcher's first story ha rejected the work of scores of famous novelists and magazine writer. They lacked the kind of talent suited for screen expression. Mrs. Thatcher. and hundreds of others who are not professional writers, have that gift. The Palmer Photoplay Corporation cannot endow you with such a gift. But we can discover it. if it exists. And we can teach you how to employ it for your lasting enjoyment and profit.

We invite you to apply this free test

Only a few weeks after her enrollment, we sold Mrs. Thatcher's first story to Mr. Ince. With Mr. Ince's check in her hands, Mrs. Thatcher wrote:

"I feel Ihal such success as I halie had is tUrectly dfle to the Palmer Course and your constmctilie help,"

Clip the coupon below, and we will send you the Van Loan questionnaire. Yon will assume no obligation. If you pass the test, we will send you interesting material descriptive of the Palmer course and Service, and admit you to enrollment, should you choose to develop your talent. If you cannot pass this te t, we will frankly advise you to give up the idea of writing for the screen. It will be a waste of their time and ours for children to apply. Will you give this questionnaire a little of your time? It may mean fame and fortune to you. In any event. it will satisfy you as t.o whether or not'you should attempt to e.nter this fascinating and highly profitable field. Just use £he coupon below and do it now before you forget.

Can you do what Mrl!. Thatcher did? Can you, too, write a photoplay that we can sell? Offhand you will be inclined to answer No. But the Question is too important to be answered offhand. vVill you be fair to yourself?

January, 1922 ' (Irudgery that is lovingly and skilfully done. "e children used to playa game which was really a battle of strength. We were wolves-fierce ones, barricaded in a house. We would say to a little girl. "If you don't let me come in I'll whoof and I'll poof 'till I blow your house in." If we were the kind whose mothers fed us oatmeal and lots of milk, wore gingham dresses in the mornings, and the other wolf wore curls and white dresses and ate syrup and pancakes for breakfast, we geJ;lcrally did whoof and poof her hou in. I'm doing everything but start in on a practical menu, as I dread the storm of criticism that follows anyone's honest opinion upon the Ideal Diet. But ere

goesSaturday Morning: I make mayonnaise and French dressing, bake some brown bread and doughnuts. Make acidulated gelatine. half tomato aspic, half orange jelly. Then I make old-fashioned noodles, like my mother made.

Saturday Night: Pin bone steak, the tough end ground, placed in slits made on each side the T-bone. broiled with the steak. French fried potatoes, hcad lettuce with French dressing, bread, butter, jelly, coffee and doughnuts.

Sunday Noon: Stewed chicken, mashed potatoes, cranberry jelly, ~baked corn pudding. whole wheat muffins, fruit salad (for dessert). A chicken on Sunday reminds me of the theme in Grand Opera. It runs through the whole week's performance. Just when we have forgotten we ever had a chicken up bobs the theme in the form of some noodle-soup, a bit of salad, or rice and chicken croquettes.

Sunday Night: A supper party for eight. Stew a half-pound of young calves' liver with the left over chicken. Save the giblets, calves' liver and chicken breast, cut in thin slices, and slice a medium sized Bermuda onion in ice water. You are making a dish a Chinese chef taught me, called "Yacca Mein." Cook the noodles in plent)' of chicken broth for twenty minutes. Ladle with enough broth to cover, into your chafing dish, season with salt and a teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Drain onions and put over the noodles, then the sliced giblets and chicken, paprika over the top. Heat again 'til the onions are hot. "ith "Yacca Mein" serve brown and white bread sandwiches, head lettuce and our best loved dessert, an orange and whipped cream cake. It's a velvety sponge cake with orange hard sauce between the layers, and whipped cream over the outside. We serve this on a big silver platter with unpeeled sliced oranges with orange jelly and little dots of the cream on the slices all around the cake.

(Continued from page 86) When The Childless Woman Really Loves Her Husband To THE EDITOR: On the Childl Marriage Problem, I feel that I am better qualifi d than mo t to e.xpress an opinion on the uhject, because I happen to be one of those childless women, who d ire a child. . There cannot be a woman living who wi hes for a child of her own Besh as I do. It is the One Great Want of my life. But I happen to be de perately in love with my own hu bandhave been for ten y ar and the idea of any other man being the father of my cllildren, while I am married to my p're Ilt husband, is too repugnant to think of. And I believe that no woman who loves her husband as I love mine, and as he should love the father of her children, couJd contemplate bearing and rearing the child of some man other than her own llU band-while living with said husband, as his wife. I do not claim that the husband one loves thus, can make up for the lack of childrenfijI that void in a woman's life. But I do mo t emphatically cJaim that where that wonderfuJly fine love exists between them, it goes a long way toward balancing thing . one of us can have ev/lMJlltillg we want in life-why not make the most of what God gives us? MRS. C. A.

As A Bachelor Girl Sees It To TOE EDITOR: I am a woman past forty; am capable of giving children to anyone whom I may elect for their father, and, like any normal, healthy, natural woman, crave that which is mine by right, and which so far has been withheld. I am not married, although the d ire for congenial companionship i the only de ire in my life which I have not been able to ati fy due to not having met the one to whom I could re pond in every way. I am a tenograpber with a good po ition; have a broader outlook on life, beeau e of my busine experience, than many with whom I have come in contact; am able to meet any condition in life as long as my health lasts; have full control of my material desires; have a keen ense of humor. and am not giv n or in lined to be anything but the home-loving, home-making woman the Creator intended every woman to be. I am a" ew Thoughti t," and have played. and do play, a fiftyfil ty game with Life. and I have learned Uli : In order to playa fair game, we mu t accept certain conditions,-we CIlnnot force thing. Your reader says " . . . I am other"; happily married, and that I love my bu band." Would not that one feature uffice to ke p the happine in h r heart? TO doubt his own disappointment is keen too. rot only that, if there is real, genuine love for the hu band does not love'mean sacrifice to the nth degr ? I it right for any woman to embarras the hu band to the ext nt of admitting ev n to a third per on his inad quacy? "here the real, the big love exi ,how can any woman ubmit to the care --or even make it a cold bu in propo ition--of another. If my child could not be fathcred by the man I I cted, I would not want it. Life, like a diamond, has many facets, and it depends on the viewpoint of the individual to realize the beautie it offer. Have people not had hildren whi h th Y wish had never been born? Granting that ~'our reader has "found an ideal pro pective father," and granting too that your rader' husband would put his feelings aside and permit the conditi~n which be craves, what guarantee ha, he that uC'h C'hild or children would live, or if lhe~' liv('r1 that they would not bring

So don't try it! Make the tobacco habit quit you. It will quit you if you will just take Tobacco Redeemer according to directions.

Your tobacco craving will usua ly begin to decrease after the very first dose-there's no long waiting for results. Tobacco Redeemer contains no habit-forming drugs of any kind and is marvelously quick, scientific and thoroughly reliable.

Not a Substitute Tohacco Redeemer is in no sense a substitute for tobacco, but is a radical, efficient treatment. After finishing the treatment you have absolutely no desire to use tobacco again or to continue the use of the remedy. It helps to quiet the nerves and will make you feel better in every -way. If you really want to quit the tobacco habit -get rid of it so completely that when you see others using it, it will not awaken the slightest desire in you-you should at once begin a course of Tobacco Redeemer treatment for the habit.

Results Absolutely Guaranteed A single trial will convince the most skeptical. Our legal, binding, money-back guar-

antee goes with each full treatment. If Tobac:c:o Redeemer fails to banish the tobacco habit when taken according to the plain and easy directions, your money will be cheerfully refunded upon demand.

Boils F. K-If you !lave e:\"perienced a. series of boils, it i highly important that you hould undergo a general clean ing regimen to purify your blood. Frequ nt bath and an out of door life are essential, bllt hang s in diet are mo t important. If it is not conv nient for you to fast a few day ,at least you hould adopt a fruit diet or a diet of uncooked foods includ-

acfadden

ing salads, nuts, and pos ibly milk. There are in tan in which a ucce. ion of boil follow vaccination. And in uch case one need a particula.rly purifying regimen, a ugg ted. Local kin leanlin ,however, i highly important, inasmu h as boil ma~· be the re ult of infection through dirt. Wre tIer , unll uall.v vigorou pecimen, have mu h trouble with boil , probably due to th craping of skin on the dirty wr tling mat. Boil hould not b irritated, pinch d or di turbed, but hould be treated with hot fom ntation , and "r ted" as completely as po ible. It i w~ to have them lanced when they come to a head. .

Hives F. J. .-It i pretty well demon trated that hivc , like many other skin irritation, are the result of more or I s poi oning of thc s~· tem through thc chann I of thc alimentary canal. Inasmuch a you formerly uffered. from uremic poisoning and w r then comp II d to give up the u e of meat and eggs, it is po: sible that. you are still thc victim of an ex of prot in food. If you ar u ing milk in any quantity at all. ~-ou need neith r thc meat nor the egg. If you will follow a low protein regimen, u ing milk for your protein upply and at whole wh at bre.'ld with plent~· of veg table, alad and fruits, you will have no more trouble with hive. Write and let u know your xperience. .

Bronchial cough i often a very tubborn complaint but it will yield in th cour e of timc to per i tent good health. that you maintain b dily warmth, particularly keeping your feet and hands warm.

Hemmorhoids P. O.-Hemmorhoid, more popularly known as pile, on i t of an enlargement or dilatation f v in , and are very much th same in chara ter as the more familiar vari 0 e vein of th legs. They ar repre ntative of more or I w akn and interfer nce with the circulation. You hould try to build up gTeat r phy ieal vigor through exer i e, and tllll improve th circulation.

I knew I mu t do som thing or I'd soon die, hen e I figured out a plan and pre nted it to my hu band for approval. He rejected it, at fir t, on the grounds that if he gave up his po ition we'd fac tarvation. It did em like a radical tep, but I kn w that if we did our part od would do the re t. After arguing my case I won. He gave up hi po ition. We sold what few personal belongings we had, bought u each a saddle horse, one pack hor , a very f w camping uten il ,and tarted out from a mall town near the line of lexico.

Alas for th ir intellectual monopoly of a field in which few men of vi ion have appeared to guide them right, they all admit that there n ver was a medical chool in America that had en e enough to give a r al cour in dietetic. Dealing with the con equence of food fomes, it never occurred to them to explore the call e f food folli or to find out what the food follie r ally were. They were satisfied to tinker with ymptom and to specialize in the curiou manu tation of thi or that I cal ymptom, which was given one name wh n it broke out in the little finger of the right hand and another name wh n appearing on the left shoulder or in the ., mall 0' the back." Going around in circle, they have left a plain record of their method and until they examine tho e meth d critically th y will never under tand why the people have got beyond them. Take, for in tance, the a. rtion of Dr. R.

What Is An Interna] Bath? CH has been said and volumes have been written describing at length the many kinds of baths civilized man has indulged in from time to time. Every possible re ource of the human mind has been brought into play to fashion new methods of bathing, but, strange as it may seem, the most important, as well as the most beneficial of all baths, the "Internal Bath," has been given little thought. The reason for this is probably due to the fact that few people seem to realize the tremendous part that internal bathing plays in the acquiring and maintaining of health. To avoid any misconception as to what constitutes an internal bath, let it be said that a hot water enema is no more an internal bath than a bill of fare is a dinner. If it were possible and agreeable to take the great mass of thinking people to witness an average post-mortem. the sights they would see and the things they would learn would prove of such lasting benefit and impress them so. profoundly that further argument in favor of internal bathing would be unnecessary to convince them. nfortunately, however, it'is not po ible to do this, profitable as such an experience would doubtless prove to be. Few people realize what a very little thing is necessary sometimes fo improve their phy ical condition. For instance, that universal disorder from which almost all humanity is suffering, known as "constipation," "autointoxication," "auto-infection," and a multitude of other terms, is not only curable, but preventable through the consistent practice of internal bathing. How many people realize that normal functioning of the bowel and a clean intestinal tract make it almost impo ible to become sick? There is entirely too much unnecessary and avoidable sickness in the world. You can name but few people, including yourself, who are physically vigorous, healthy, and strong-yet five to ten minute of time devoted to systematic internal bathing can make you healthy and maintain your physical efficiency indefinitely. and it will do this for people of all ages and in all conditions of health and disease. People don't seem to realize, strange to say, how important it i to keep the body free from accumulat d body-waste (poisons). Their doing so would prevent the absorption into the bfood of the poisonous excretions of the body and health wciuld be the inevitable result. If you would keep your blood pure, your heart normal, your eyes clear, your complexion clean, your mind keen, your blood pre ure normal, your nerves relaxed, and be able to enjoy the vigor of youth in your declining years, practice internal bathing and begin today. A most interesting booklet entitled "THE WHAT, THE WHY and ,'HE WAY OF ITER AL BATH! G," was written by Doctor Chas. A. Tyrrell, the inventor of the "J. B. L. Cascade,' whose lifelong study and research along this line made him the preeminent authorit). on this subject. ot only did internal bathing save and prolong Dr. Tyrrell's own life, but the lives of a multitude of hopeless individuals have been equally 0 book has ever been spared and prolonged. written containing such a vast amount of practical information to the business man, the worker, and the housewife; all that is necessary to secure this book is to write to Tyrrell's H),gienic Institute at umber 152 West 65th Street, ew York City, and mention having read this article in PHYSICAL CULTURE and same will be immediately mailed to you free of all cost or obligation. Avail yourself of this opportunity for learning more about the subject. Do not put it off, but send for the book now while the matler is fresh in your mind. Don't allow procrastination to cheat you out of your opportunity to get this valuable information which is free for the askin~. If you would be natural, be healthy. It IS unnatural to be sick. Why be unnatural, when it is such a simple thing to be well?

have shown that lard does not usually contain the fat soluble vitamine, due to the fact that the ration of the hog is invariably deficient in this particular food factor." It is true indeed that Drummond, Golding, Zilva and Coward have shown that lard is deficient in vitamines, but it is also true that the moon is round and that water is wet. one of the e truths have any bearing upon the statement which Dr. Dutcher seeks to uphold. Lard is deficient in potassium, iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, manganese, sodium, chlorine, silicon, etc. Lard is deficient in protein and sugar. Lard is fat-refined fat. Lard couldn't possibly contain vitamines if there were any such thing, Cor the very simple reason that it is such a higWy processed fat that when it leaves the rendering tank, following its treatment by heat, fuller's earth, clarifiers, bleachers, etc., it pours from the spout a so-called purified hydrocarbon, deficient in every food factor but the one factor found in all oils. Corn starch, glucose and granulated sugar are similarly purified and refined products of vegetable origin, containing none of the mineral salts or solubles of kernel or cane. But Dr. Dutcher goes on, oblivious of these facts, by asserting: "That the vital organs of the type represented by the liver and the kidne~'s are rich in vita. mines carcely needs comment." Of cour e they are rich in "vitamines," as Dr. Dutcher understands the word, for they are rich in the mineral salts and solubles of the animal ti ue. When experimenting with fresh liver and fre h kidneys they are not experimenting with refined residues of mechanical and chemical processes, but rather with natural, unjuggled. whole and complete products. There is no analogy and can be none between these vital organs as they are sent by the slaughterer to the laboratory and the refined and fini hed product known as rendered hog fat. Rhetoricians deplore what they call mixed metaphors. That some branches of science are marred by somewhat analogous confusions is wlhappily true in this so-called age of science. The dividing line between Dr. Dutcher's truth and his error i a very thin one, so that without tran ition he passes out of darkness into light. His very next statement is crammed with truth and has a marked bearing upon the statement quoted above. He says: "It is possible to produce milk which is almost devoid of vitamines, depending upon the vitamine content of the cow's ration." Here lies the great truth which he so inexplicably confounds with the now most popular error of the whole vitamine superstition. One of the cow foods that produces deficient milk is beet pulp. which represents the exhausted residue of the beet sugar mill after the sugar

makllrs' have extracted the preciou solubles of the" tuber. One of the most popular dairy rations of the recent past was a mixtur~ of beet pulp, brewer' waste and distiller's grain. Dr. Dutcher hardly n eds to be reminded of the fact that these exhausted byproducts of br wery and distillery have been robbed oC th ir solubles as the beet i robbed, and that \\¡hat i no longer to be found in the food oC the animal cannot become a part of th animal' tis ues. Overwhelming is the evidence to prove that malnutrition and anemia, leading to tuberculosi , have been the eOlllnJone t sequel oC feeding eows on mine rally exhausted commercial feeding tuffs. Of course, when the ti ues of the animal are robbed of the nutritional factors upon whieh th y depend Cor ti . uetone, the milk of such animals i. gro 'Iy deficient in the sub tances not pre ent in the animal's di t. Of cour e the animal suff rs a 10 of health and re istance. Of cour e its milk is not normal. Of course di ea e comes galloping OYer the "vitaminel " route. In pite oC the flaw in his reasoning, great thanks are due Dr. Dutcher for the evidence adduced by him and his coworkers to prove that dairy butt 1', d pending on the iood of the cow, can be gro Iy deficicnt in the nutritional factor which the ational Dairy Hion has unwarrantedly claimed for it in order through an adverti ing campaign to show its superiority over oleomargarine. Ideal butter, produced from sweet, fresh, normal cream skimmed Crom the fre h, wholesome milk of normally fed cow ,i undoubtedly the mo t de irable form of table fat, but the facts too long re i ted by the comm rcial butt I' makers, their lobbyi ts, and the politi ian who protect th mar hameCul in the viden e they furni h against the brutal and indecent methods under which nearly 85 per cent. of America's butter is produced. It will not require much change in tlle present attitude of Dr. Dutch I' to make him one of the most u eful work rs in the field in which he has chosen to spe ialize. He gets 0 close to the truth at time as to make one marvel over hi Cailur to grasp it. He say , for in tance, "Silage does not appear to enrich milk as far a the anti-scorbutic vitamine is concerned." Silage, as every farmer knows, is a fermented produ t and a valuable one when mixed with other fresh foods, but of itself, becau e it has undergone fermentation, it fall into the class characterized by Dr. He as oxidized foods. . He also declare: "We have ob T\'ed that good green alfalfa seems to influenc the nutritive value of the milk, increasing its nutritive properties, but in ju t what way we are not prepared to say." Good, green alfalfa is an ideal food for cows. It is one of the two foods prescribed by Moses when the great (Continued on page 104)

The Science of Eating"

In the "Science of Eating" Alfred \ • McCann xpo all the frauds of the so-called food speciali t ; all the ignorance of the so-called scientists; all the hypocri y that the phy icians have circulated about food. He xpo and explodes the false and dangerous theory of the calorie. In thi remarkable book, the delicate m nu of the sp-cialist is shown not only to be valuele s, but exceedingly harmful. The fearful crime of adulteration and artificial coloring of foods that have been known to the world as the " taff of Life" has been merdl Iy exposed. He proves that all food, which is pure food, when free froln adulteration and preservatives, is good food. Some of New York's foremost physicians prescribe this book to their patients instead of issuing a useless prescription to the drug store. They know the truth and have the courage of their convictions.

1,000 Eggs In Every Hen Don't Kill Your Yearling Birds New System of Poultry Keeping. If You Keep Chickens

CUT THIS OUT "The great trouble with the poultry business has always been that the laying life of a hen was too short" says Henry Trafford, International Poultry Expert and Breeder. for nearly eighteen years Editor of Poultry Success. The average pullet lays 150 eggs. If kept the second year, she may lay 100 more. Then she goes to market. Yet. it has been scientifically established that every pullet is born or hatched with over one thousand minute egg germs in her system-and may be made to lay them on a highly profitable basis over a period of four to six years' time if given proper care. How to work to get 1000 eggs from every hen is the poultry system explained in a Bulletin issued by Mr. Trafford. one copy of which will be sent absolutely free to any reader who keeps six hens or more.

If you want your hens to make more money for you cut this out and send it with your name and address to Henry Trafford, Suite 262-F, Court Bldg., Binghamton, N. Y., and a free COpy of his 1000 EGG HEN Bulletin will be sent by return mail.

Mending Locomotor Physical Culture Stockholders Ataxia with Milk Attention: (Continued from page 45) a complete fast of from three oa~'s to three weeks, depending upon the character of the disease, and the amount of toxemia present. I have seen and talked with patientsand many times ,,;th the able men who had diagnosed these patients-and have studied the case records and reports of scores of cases treated mainly by this "milk cure," mixed with a lot of fresh air, and a sufficient amount of exercise. In many instances I have been thunderstruck with their improvement. Ulcer of the stomach, diabetes, rheumatism, all forms of neurasthenia, shell shock, auto-intoxication and the protean symptoms arising from auto-toxemia, indigestion, catarrh of any part of the mucous membrane,-including gastric catarrh and mucous colitis,-persistent insomnia, bronchitis and asthma,-in fact, practicall~r all the chronic disorders, in which faulty metabolism and underoxydation are the prominent factors, seemed to be indubitably helped by this treatment. Many of these ca e I hall describe at length in this serie of articles. Thi, to my mind, was one of the mo t striking, in tructive and intere ting of all the cases. So much so, that I'm going to let him tell his story in hi own words. I merely add that, becau e of the fact that the origin of this man's ataxia was the usual one, syphilis, his name is htrre withheld. Permi sion, however, is freely accorded the editor of thi magazine to furnish his name to any physician or interested party, who wiII write the editor, making the request, when the facts here stated will be confirmed. I may aod that I have the names of a dozen or fifteen of the physicians who diagno ed Mr. X as an ataxic, with a ~'philitic history, and treated him accordingly. Also the names of the various ho pital, anitaria, ane] other institutions where he has spent so much of the last fifteen year, before encountering the Miracle of Milk, are to be had. I need only add that the treatment Mr. X outlines is of such a character as to be safely and readily attempted by any per on of average intelligence, if combined with more than average stickto-it-iveness. This last is rather important, as otherwise failure is foredoomed. However, if I had locomotor ataxia, I'd be glad to give the treatment a very thorough trial. "I believe I may truly lay claim to the unenviable di tinction of having been given up by more doctors than an~r other living man. Only this year I added five specialists to my list_ach of whom said that nothing more could be done for me. "Is it any wonder I lost hope, and that, time and again. I was prevented from

Medical Ethics. Many persons are, alas! who do not belong to the profession, Indeed, if the members of its own professional class were the only people to feel the stranglehold of the medical autocracy, it would not be the great and irresponsible power for evil in'the world that it is today, nor would the task of combatting it be quite so formidable. Perhaps the historic fact that the fir t medicine men were also the priests and religious teachers of the race, may account for the feeling many of the laity have, that to question the good faith of the doctor is like questioning God. ow from the standpoint of the rationali t, it is not necessary to question either the sincerity or the integrity of many individual doctors, to realize that the ystem under" hich they are operating i honeycombed with corruption and abuse, which can only be reformed by a radical reorganization of the whole. To begin with, it is based on a sham, and we cannot expect very fair fruit from any tree which is rooted in hypocrisy. By paying doctors to treat and "cure" di8ease, instead of paying them to pr6fJent disease by teaching the people how to build health by rational hygienic living, we force the poor doctors to work-or pretend to work-to destr01J the S01trCe of their incomes; any other class of work~ ers who made this preposterous claim, would be laughed out of court. In order therefore to e cape the plain inference from the inverted logic of their calling, doctor have had to give it out that they are made of finer stuff than ordinary folk, and conduct their busine~ on a more ideali tic plane; and this bland a umption is set forth in the first paragraph of the "Principles" under thc caption, "The Physician's Respon ibilit~r:" "The practice of medicine has for its prime object the service it can render to humanity; reward or financial gain should be a subordinate consideration." Thus the econd sham pretension is uperimpo ed upon the first in the mcdical edifice, after which others are easily added and worked into the imposing structure of fanciful popular belief about "the profe ion;" for where two or three popular fictions-which it i money in somebody's pocket to foster -are gathered together, there will be others naturally and quickly attracted, One of thesc popular fallacies about the medical profession, is, that doctors and nurses from their constant association with pain and misery, arc more humane and compassionate than the average individual, and that this excessive compas ion i , or should be reflected in the gentleness of their methods; whereas, it is obvious that just the reverse of this is true. Their constant familiarity with suffering renders them callous to itinevitably, just a we all become indifferent to anything we do over and over again; and beside this power of custom -against which doctors are no more proof than anybody else, they are under

Taking the reader in to our confidence, let us say that the right solution of an editorial problem is always to go to the one man in the world best qualified to give his opinion on a subject of interest. The most interesting subject that we have presented in this magazine for a long time was the problem of the childless marriage, as demonstrated by the reaction of hundreds of letters from readers. So we asked Dr. Havelock Ellis, eminent British scientist and world's greatest authority on the psychology of sex, to write a summary of the matter for us' This you will find in PHYSICAL CULTURE next month.

on his needs. I deal with every man as a eparate problem. Most of them are badly run down at the heel phy ically; but that is often becau e they have become run down at the heels mentally. l\Iy fir t effort is to reach a man's mind. I upply for the time being the element of control which the man him elf lack . And with that accomplished, phy ical improvement due to conditions of right living, follow of it elf. It i n't a mu cle building problem; it i a mind building problem. At fir t I take the rein , and drive the man till I can show him how to drive him If. "Certain thing I require of every man. We breakfa t at half pa t ix; we have dinner in the middle of the day. ine o'clock i bed-time. Mo t of u· do a great deal of riding and walking, the di t..'l.nee being adju ted to a man' capabilitie.

That is one of the things I try to how them. A man mu t get rid of the indoors ob ion, the indoor habit, if he i to have anything to build on. Love of nature and of the open pace i a particularly fine corrcction for that type of mind that can think of nothing but work, or of making money. The pa ion for making mon y kills lots of men; it give them a kind of piritual acido is. "In many casc I have to go pr tty deep into a man' life to correct what i the matter with him. I don t tolerate bad table manners, for in tance. A man who louches at the tabl need to be corrected. That louch betray a fatal attitude of mind. It is fundamental. It is the same with a man who eats too fast, or who d n't chew hi' food, or who come to the table with a long face-which i one of the wor t enemie of mental and ph~r ical health. The e thing I won't permit; and no man can tay here and persi t in them. "It i the same with such thing a' neatness of dre and per onal clean line ". Two bath a day is the rule here.

for Placing,the Right Man In the Right Place

HE Federal Board of Vocational Education in its Bulletin No. 50 T states: "It is economical for a plant of 200 workers to have a separate em· ployment department." Immediately we grant the truth of this statement. The magnitude of this great field is absolutely staggering. Without wasting the better part of your !iCe in study and preparation, without the disappoint· ing experience of years of hard grind before you can get a foothold in a profession, such as medicine, law. engineering, etc.• you are offered one of the greatest opportunities of the age. Your chance to be a Human Engineer. Naturally it is hard for you to realize what a wonderful chance this is. we have therefore prepared a 100 pal{e booklet explaining the field of human engmeering an~ employment management, the demand, the opportunity and the reward. The facts and data in this booklet were compiled by nationally known experts on employment and human engineer· in!! methods. We shall be glad to send you thIS booklet, without obligation to you. Just fill out the coupon and send it in.

Or do you think of the cold weather as an indoor season, a time of outdoor hardship, when you only wait longingly for the good old summer time? Do you realize that there are no flies, no mosquitoes in win ter and that it is then much more enjoyable outdoors if you know how to take it? The secret of enjoying win ter is presented in an article which you will find in Physical Culture next month by Elon Jessup, entitled "How I Found Joy in Winter Air."

Are You Self·Poisoned ? If You Suffer from Autointoxication, Which Is Nothing More Than Se!f-Poisoning, You Are Getting Your Body in Condition for Serious Disease

By R. L. ALSAKER, M. D. All chronic y temtic di ea e are built on orne form of autoin toxica tion. It do not matter if vou call the diea e catarrh, bronchiti , rheumati m, Bright's diR. L. ALSAKER. M. D. ea e, arteriosclero is, neuntl or headache, you will find a hi tory of autointoxication before the trouble became chronic. Let us take a ca e from life and see what often happens to a per on who is severely troubled with autointoxication. A manufacturer, fiftyfive years of age, had the following history: He had be n in good health until he was fifty y ar old, that i he had not been troubled any more than the average with phy ical ill. At this time he failed in bu ines and the fretting and the worry brought out his latent phy ical troubles. In a short time he became pale and anemic. His complexion wa omewhat ashen, his tongue and hi lip were pal ; he complained of constipation, he felt weak and languid, and he was very depressed and hopeless. A physical examination howed that there was no serious organic trouble, but there wa a lack of power and energy, partly manifesting in cold hand , cold feet and too low blood pre sure. For five years he had been taking tonics, e pecially tho e containing iron, quinine and trychnine. He had al 0 tak n great quantities of beef cubes. This was for the purpo e of building rich, red blood. At the age of fifty-five he \Va a phy ical wreck, and an admitted failure. Then he stopped poisonin~ him If with drugs and followed a few Imple in tructions, with the re ult that within three months he wa able to do good work. \\ ithin a year he wa in good health and enjoyed as much energy a he needed. In short thi man' trouble had been autointoxication or self-poisoning. If it had been allowed to go on unchecked it would have r ulted ur Iy in rious disease. utointoxication i elf - poi 0 n i n g,

And no one would have been more abjectly my subject than Djen him elf. Thi was apparent in hi mallller toward me after the lip e. He b re him elf with an awe and re pect quite qual to what my girl betrayed toward me; and nothing could have urpa cd that. Indeed I am sure that only the a urance they had of my love for them enabled them to stand on th ir feet before me after the affair of the eclip e. I reached' the palace b fore them and was lying amid my cu hion when they came. They looked at me timidly, and even llya approached me with an expre ion of fear in her soft eye.

I had them bring me a h arty meal, and ea ily contriv d to get them out of the room while I ecreted sufficient food to erve me for my supper, for I intended to retire before supper. Later in the afternoon I sent for Djen. "Oh Djen!" I said to him olemnly, "it i needful that I retire into the ilence soon. I want no supper brought me and no breakfa t in the morning. On no account must I be di turbed no matter what happens or I will not an w r for the consequences. You will tell tbis to my laves." "A you command, oh A ya," he replied.

What Do You Do When Your Nerves Cry? you have ever had any experience IFwith nerves, you may think that you know a great deal about them. But what do you really know about them? Do you know that nervous prostration is really a matter of nerve starvation? I t certainly was proved to be so 'in Germany. Mr. Joseph Danziger, in a story which you will find in PHYSICAL CULTURE next month, gives his experience in Germany during the war, drawing a unique picture of the effect of food deprivation on the usually stolid nerves of the German people. He details his own suffering, and particularly that of Mr. Danziger, whose case for months seemed hopeless. He found out that the thing to do with crying nerves was to feed them. And he found out what to feed them. This is information that should interest you,

He Is Still Roller.. Skating Champion (Continuedfr07n page 89) rink manager. Osmun, as frightened as any boy of fourteen could be. faced the tarter. He was determined to lose the race if he never put on another skate. The track was thirty laps to the mile and the skaters started off at a fa t clip. The war whoops of the Indians frightened the boy and fright lent speed to his feet. As he neared the fini h line he realized that he was far ahead of his rival and gaining at every stroke. What he did never clearly shaped itself in his mind. He does know that he fell on the track. He remembers picking himself up and, apparently dazed, he began sliding and sbting in the opposite direction. He was so far out in front that he was forced to permit the Indian to lap him three times before catching up. His defeat was cinched, and the promotor was so pleased with tile entire proceeding that he gave Osmun an extra ten cents because the crowd departed in an orderly fashion. Walter Osmun started his skating career in Pontiac, Michigan. He is termed the "iron man of the skating world" and his six-day record established in Minneapolis, in 1885, has only once been beaten. In a go-as-you-please event he covered 780 miles, skating twelve hours daily for six days. In the same year at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, he skated 186 1-!l miles in ten hours. That record still stands. Osmun also holds all the one-foot records, from one hundred yards up to three miles. "I began one-foot skating because I could find no opposition," he says. "I would skate three-quarters of a mile on two feet and then cover the remaining quarter of a mile on one foot. Sometimes I was beaten - but not often. "My last championship races were held in 1914. I'm still as good as I was then but inasmuch as the marks J established then have never been beaten why should I set out for others? "I was forty-six years old when I set those marks. They were: !l!lO-yam, flying start, one foot, reduced from 80 1-5 to !l8 1-5 and !l29-yard, standing start, one foot, 81 1-5 seconds to 80 4-5. I'll leave them for others to shoot at. Maybe I'm wrong but I think it will take these young fellows a few years to equal them." Osmun was a professional skater for thirty-four years, and has been a champion for twenty-eight years. He learned to skate on the rough boards of his grandfather's barn and during his tenhour race he was off the Boor just five minutes. He was sixteen years old at the time and he is as young today as he was then.

From the tim he wa ixt en year old thi y ung girl had been trained for the operati t.1.ge.

But when Ie son were resumed her voi e wa found to be much depleted in trength, in tone, in ustaining quality; he wa even inging ofT-pitch, the depair of a ong trc . Different yste s of voice placing and br athing were tried, but to 0 little advantage that he wa in d pair and about to conclude that her career a a inger was arr ted on its tine hold. Thi girl I' pre ented a type in which tb need for elf- xpres ion is particularly trong. h wa not of the normal type that run the everyday affair of the world; but o( that type which hen allied with creative t.1.lent and an adequate amount of phy i al and nervous trength make an artist. When thwarted by lack of strength, or of opportunity, it i apt to makc di contents and neurotics. Thi parti ular ca e wbile happy in marriage and moth rhood, wa mi erabl on account of bel' unfulfilled ambition.

Th patient had exerci e on awak ning to wake h I' up and induce appetite.

A omplf'te ur wa not quickly a compli hed, but in a f w months he wa. able

Does your English reveal your lack of education or does it prove that you are a man or woman of culture and refinement? Are you handicapped in your speech and writing or does your command of English rise to meet every occasion and every situation? English is the one weapon you must use every day. Here is how you can improve it almost at once.

A Y people say, "Did you hear from him today?" They should ay, "Have you hard from him today?" Some people spell. cal ndar "calender" or "calander." till oth rs say "between you and I," in t ad of "between you and me." It i astoni hing how many people use "who" for "whom" and mispronounce the impl st words. Few p ople know wheth r to spell certain word with one or two "c' " or "m's" or "r's" or with "ie" or 'ei," and when to use commas in order to make their meaning ab olutely clear. And very few people use any but the rno t common words-colorless, flat, ordinary. Their speech and their letters are lifel s , monotonous, humdrum. Every time they talk or writ they how themselves lacking in the es ntial points of Engli h.

M

Your English Reveals You Does your Engli h help or hurt you? Do you write and peak corr ctly or do your errors reveal and handicap you?
