Advertising Section Her Kingdom for a Friend (Continued from page 49) to free her of the responsibility of my upkeep. 1 could even give her scraps of money every now and then to help her out as it was. "Finally I saved fare to Chicago and wrote my friend I was coming. 1 already had her address! I had just two dollars left after the purchase of my tickets, but 1 felt that 1 could find a job to tide me over and my friend was there to help, I thought. "I expected she would meet me at the htation, but when I arrived she was not there. I was frightened and weak, because I had not eaten anything on the train, thinking I might need my two dollars to help out until 1 found a position. I began to cry. "A man who had helped me with my grips on the train was passing by. He stopped and listened to my story. He laughed at my fears and said he would deliver me to my friend's. Something had i vidently detained her. "We got into a taxi and I watched that meter go and go and go until it reached ten dollars. Then I could look no more and leaned back and closed my eyes. My friend was kind and never said a word. When we arrived at the little roominghouse which was the address, I thanked him and got out. "The landlady told me my friend had left a week ago and there among her mail I saw my letter unopened. But the room was hers and the landlady kindly let me use it. "Another friendship bubble burst in that little room, and again I was alone and practically penniless. I was plain scared! "Over coffee and toast the next morning I saw where Ernie Young, Chicago's greatest producer of revues, wanted some dancing girls. I hurried right down to the address. "In his offices I saw many belligerent girls waiting! Ernie Young's secretary came up and ; sked me what I wanted and then told me to join that waiting mob! Glancing over his shoulder, I saw myself reflected in the mirror. I was ugly, frecklefaced, white-lipped, scared and shabby. I looked around at the girls who were scornfully appraising and nudging each other over my appearance. I knew I could never stick it out, so I followed the secretary up to a door marked PRIVATE and popped in before he could stop me ! "I was scared to death ! But there was good old Ernie Young, whose eyes are always twinkling regardless of how furious he gets, gazing at me spellbound. "Where's ray secretary ?" he asked me. I told him outside the door I was leaning against ! He looked at me, and do you know what he did? He put back his head and just roared ! "He said, 'Come in. kid, and tell me why you .did it.' I told him I just had to and if I had had to sit out there with all those well-dressed, pretty girls, T would never have had the courage to wait — and that then I guess I would have to die or something because I was absolutely broke and a stranger to Chicago and scared to death ! "He said he liked my frankness and went with his stage manager and myself up to the eleventh floor, where he personally watched me dance, after which he signed me up with his revue girls. "Ernie Young watched me develop and gave me every chance. He said afterwards I was such a kid and he liked my grit and he reallv thought I was talented as a Both "were equally FAT Reducingmethods were DIFFERENT Internal means of reducing and hunger cures might eventually also serve the purpose. Ilui how does thu body look after such a painful horse cure? Where there svere formerly pads of fat, the skin hangs now down in folds. Flesh and muscles have become feeble and Limp. And what a miserable and weak feeling sets in after such an internal reducing cure! And then look at the man who with the help of the new Esko Massage Roller has reduced his weight by 22 lbs. Mr. J. H. Specialist writes: "Among all the remedies recommended up to the present time, for removing obesity, without causing physiological disturbances of the vital organs, there is not one which could be compared with the Esko Massage Roller. All internal medicines may dangerously influence stomach and kidneys. The Esko Massage Roller brings about circulation of the entire hair fine system of the skin, prompts it to increased activity and stimulates assimilation and removal of the fat cell tissues. I do not hesitate to recommend this remarkable method of superior massage as an absolutely safe, harmless and quickly acting remedy for the obese. The effect of massaging is known, but self massage by means of the new Esko Massage Roller is far superior." Accumulation of fat is the result of sluggish blood circulation at the fatty parts. Nothing is more obvious than to stimulate blood circulation by gentle massage! The scientifically construct! d new Esko Massage Roller pumps the blood into the fatty parts and the renewedfcolood circulation flushes the superfluous fat out of tlufbody.
