Under this heading, therefore, he intends Printing from time to time those letters to the editor, or extracts from them, that he considera pertinent. Correspondents who wish their letters printed should try to make them brief, and whether they sign them or not, should: always accompany them with their ‘full names and addresses.) “Is There Any Hope?” To the Editors of Junce: Gentlemen: I take advantage of the occasion of enclosing a dollar bill to say that I enjoy your editorials immensely and ask in all seriousness after reading this week's effusion regarding crime conditions here and abroad combined with our purity laws—is there any hope of our regaining our lost liberties and coming from under the nationwide senseless censorship that hampers our every move? The writer doesn’t live a thousand miles from Tennessee and feels that they suffer the same condition that effects us, i. brilliant men, if any, have no legislative ambitions while people with minds in reverse gear seem possessed with a mania for office holding. In one of our late legislatures a member intro- duced a bill regulating women’s bathing suits as follows: . ‘The skirt must reach the ankle, the waist must cover the collarbone while the sleeves must reach the elbow; modesty alone restrained him from men- tioning hose and attachments thereto. A fellow member arose and asked if this bill was offered in a spirit of levity or was the author in earnest. A doctor member arising expressed his surprise at any one questioning the sincerity of the auther's motives, adding that in his opinion it was the most important bill introduced in that session. ‘The New York Assembly the same year. voted, if I mistake not, on a bill making the shining of shoes on Sundays after one P. M. a finable offense. So we conclude that Nature has wisely not, con- centrated all the brachycephalics in one vici ‘Yours truly, Nuz Populii Cabot, Ark. August 28, 1925. A Wager To the Editors of Juvae: a Sirs: Having read Jupce and enjoyed its car- toons and jokes since a “little shaver” in knee trousers I thought that this was as good a time as any to express a few opinions—private and other- wise—in to certain things. Yes, I've been enjoying Jupce's jokes and car- toons immensely for a good many years but of late its editorial policy as regards Prohibition sort o’ kills the enjoyment. I’m not a reformer, a preacher nor a blue law advocate, (Lord for- bid that!) and admit that I've enjoyed my wine, beer and highballs (and still could!) but can do very well without ‘em, T've been a lumberjack and a deep-sea sailor (and who likes his liquor more than a lumber- jack or sailor? I'd like to see him!) and have fived in the lumber camps and in seaports enongh of my life to know conditions before and after Prohibition. You'll find that ninety per cent. of the improvement of the living conditions, at least of these two classes of people, will be directly traced to the lack of intoxicants. course we find our “canned heat fiends” and “jackass” hounds but if they're foolish enough to drink the stuff the U. S. will be a better nation without ‘em. When I read this blarney and tommyrot about the crime wave being attributed to the Volstead Act I get a better “kick”-out of it than a quart of white mule could give a Comanchee | Indian. Granted that we lead the world in crime I’m ready to bet a brand new American dollar against a last year’s rat hole in a rotten fence post that one of ‘em can’t be traced directly to the Prohibition Amendment. Who'll take me up? If I lose winner to pay express charges on rat hole! fully yours, Timber Beast -How can we take him up un- less we know w one he refers to?) Earle E. Liederman The Muscle Builder Author of "Muscle Buildin “Secrets of Strength. MUSCLES Wouldn't it be great if we could buy muscles by the bag— take them home and paste them on our shoulders?

I Want Live Ones I've been making big men out of little ones for over fifteen years. I've made pretty near as many strong men as Heinz has made pickles. My system never fails. That's why I guaran- tee my works to do the trick. That's why they gave me the name of “The Muscle Builder.” T have the surest bet that you ever heard of.
