Mr. K. Leo Minges has at last perfected the work of his life in discovering a safe, sure, and permanent method by which anyone can get taller without any inconvenience. It is such a simple method that one wonders why it was not thought of before. Yet it took a lifetime of study to perfect. Any- one can now enjoy these benefits ; to do so necessitates no application of drugs, no internal treatment, no operation, no hard work, no big expense. Mr. ‘Minges’ method has been adopted by the leading educational Institutions and gymnasiums in Rochester and else- where. Anyone can now take it up. FREE TO ANY SHORT PERSON. The secrets which Mr. Minges has dis- covered will enable you to get taller, more graceful, and improve the symmetry of . your figure, and this can be accomplished in your own home, no matter what your age, your sex, your height may be. And in Order to put these benefits within the reach of all, there has been prepared for free distribution among short people a limited edition of a book explaining this discovery in detail. If you wish to add from 2 to § inches to your height, if you want to be graceful and have a sym- metrical figure, if you want to be a ‘proper height to dance with,” to be able to “see in a crowd,” and to reach the correct height, you should write for this book at once.” It fully explains how you can obtain these benefits, and is free.

JULY. Never since the begin- ning of this industry have bicycles been so near per- fection, both in construc- tion and equipment, as they are to-day. “Modern inven- tions like the two-speed ge and new coaster brake we brought the chainless wheels to a wonderful stage of development. The two-s ear is rightly cated enteric A slight pressure of either foot on either pedal changes the gear from high to low for hill climbing and diffi- cult roads. Another like pressure sets the high gears for a swift run on the level. The coaster brake in- creasesthe rider’s efficiency about one-third. American highways are in better condition than ever before, so that touring a- wheel is attractive. The people have never been more outspoken in their ap- |~ preciation of bicycling as a bealth-giving exercise.
