In Your Heart You Know that You are Not’ Giving Your Body a Square Deal _—| KNOW the reasons which keep back any man from giving his body the exercise demanded by good health and common sense. are just three: One is sheer lack of will power to force the body to do anything. Another is the lack of knowledge as to just what forms of exercise are best. The third is the notion that you don’t need any exercise. This condition is typical of the man of sedentary habits. Which is YOUR reason? I can practically rebuild the man who, for the first two reasons, is letting his physical condition go to pot. And I can do the same for the man in the third case, provided he will stir himself enough to acknowledge his physical flabbiness to himself and to me. The Thompson Course will take one of you men whose bodies respond only sluggishly to the command of your mind, and will force mind and body to co-ordinate—to work in harmony. ‘This will enable you to control not only your own body, but will give you a personality that, instead of bending for others, will sway them your way. It is not the purpose of the Thompson Course to bu! big, useless surface muscles. The Thompson Course builds strong, hardy, clean internal organs—and these bring power, health, reserve energy and longevity for the man or woman who enjoys their possession. If the day's work fags you,— If an ill-chosen meal upsets your digestion, — If a sleepless night spoils the next day—then you are not normal, but are below par, unnecessarily, yes and shamefully. You were given a body that had an abundant reserve fund of energy to draw upon in just such hours of need. J. EDMUND THOMPSON Suite No, 913, Exchange Bidg., Worcester, Mass. They The Thompson Course of Exercise is a rational. pleasant and easy me: of securing and maintaining that reserve power which your body originally had. My Course is different from any other in that it bene- fits (by natural movements scientifically applied) the dynamos of the bodily machine, i. ¢., the lungs, heart, stomach, intestines, etc. All these are muscular and can be strengthened by proper exercise. Yet, as far as I can learn, until my Course was evolved, no system- atic treatment existed that was based on this axiomati- cally natural method. The clearness of your mind, the strength of your nerves, your hopefulness and joy in living, all depend on the vigor of your vital organs. I offer you something that will benefit every inch of your body and mind through every minute of your life. and I offer it on free-trial-terms that make it impossible for you to lose a penny.

Finally a happy thought struck him, He bored a hole through the door post and stuck a calf’s tail into it, with the tufted end outside. After a while he saw a solemn-faced man standing near the door looking at the sign. The tanner watched him a minute and then stepped out and ad- dressed him. “Good morning, sir,” he said. “Good morning,” said the other, with- out taking his cycs off the sign. “Do you want to buy leather?” asked the tanner. "No," “ Perhaps you've got some some hides to sell?” “No.” “Are you a farmer?” “No “What are you then?” “Tam a philosopher. I've been stand- ing here for nearly an hour trying to find out how that calf got through that hole.” Seventy Spring and Summe Tours, compris ing Tours de Luxe and Motor-Car Tou and also Vacation Tours at Popular Prices} Frequent sailings; all routes, including Mediterranean, Programme of Tours de Lure Around the World now ready.

All men will say, shouldst thou dismiss these captives here, Thou didst it not from generosity, but fear. Since the decision rendered by the United States Supreme Court, it has been decided by the Monks hereafter to bottle CHARTREUSE (Liqueur Peres Chartreux) both being identically the same article, under a combination label representing the old and the new labels, and in the old style of bottle bearing the Monks’ familiar insignia, as shown in this advertisement. According to the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, handed down by Mr. Justice Hughes on May agth, 19tt, no one but the Carthusian Monks (Peres Chartreux) is entitled to use the word CHARTREUSE as the name or designation of a Liqueur, so their victory in the suit against the Cusenier Company, representing M. Henri Lecouturier, the Liquidator appointed by the French Courts, and his successors, the compagnie Fermitre de la Grande Chartreuse, is complete.
