EARN WHILE YOU LEARN "Any woman can improve her HEALTH, FIGURE and APPEARANCE" says Annette Kellermann Only a few years before my public appearance as the Perfect Woman, I was puny and under-developed. To-day I can say in all sincerity that I owe, my perfect figure and splendid health to my own efforts. There is nothing mysterious about my system. It involves no drugs, requires no apparatus. It is a sensible plan of upbuilding and correction taken from my own experience. It requires but fifteen minutes a day in the privacy of your own room. It will be just as effective for you as it has been for thousands of other cultured and refined women who have properly followed my methods. Surely you want to find out more about a system that can do so much for you. How You Can Find Out I have written a little book which I want you to read. It is called " The Body Beautiful" and is illustrated with photographs of myself. This little book, which you may have for the asking, outlines my system and explains my methods frankly and clearly. It proves that there /'/ a way to good health and a perfect figure. Send a two cent stamp now and "The Body Beautiful" will reach you by return mail. You owe it to yourself at least to investigate.

Geraldine Farrar THE STORY OF AN AMERICAN SINGER By HERSELF Miss Farrar is no doubt the most widely known woman in America at the present time. Her book is an intensely human story of a modern American girl's conquest of the world in the most exacting of all the arts — a story of romance and adventure, peopled with the famous men and women of America and Europe today. Both those who have seen and heard Miss Farrar on the stage, and the still wider public who have seen or heard her on the screen or record will find the story one of absorbing interest. The illustrations, of which there are more than forty, have been made from Miss Farrar's personal photographs of herself and of the many famous men and women — notably singers, composers, and impresarios — with whom she has been associated in friendship or in work.

While there is an abundance of sportive action, the danger of degenerative influence is lessened by the superior motive of producing an audible expression of mirth. Scenes that otherwise might be defined as shocking are countermanded by the burlesque and ridiculous. Where there is merriment evil need not be feared. The recent releases of joy-prov<oking plays have been on an elaborate scale, and more encouraging than the serious efforts of the performers. Surely, the days of "slapstick" and crude rough-house methods are gone forever. The themes in all productions are different, but is the moral effect ' improved ? Has the melodrama of ye olden times and the antique humorous sketch been succeeded by a modern obstruction to the encouragement of purity and respectability between the sexes? To relieve any uncertainty in the minds of those who view with disfavor the inclinations of producers, let them eradicate that subtle charm of divorce, immorality and white slavery from the dramatic presentations. Not until this is accomplished can we hope for pictures that are better in the real sense of the word. Horace J. Gardner. Baseball Bill (Continued from page 25) and started again on its journey. Pinpoints and Baseball Bill boarded the last car as the angry relatives galloped up to the station. The imperturable Bill snatched the bag with the five hundred iron men, which had been collected, from Pinpoints and waving the money sack triumphantly shouted his farewell to Jonesville and left the pursuers to their own pleasures. Jn the big town Baseball Bill earned fame and fortune, and a year later returned as a hero to Jonesville and Sophy, married the latter without opposition, and is now proprietor of the town's biggest cheese factory.
