To Work for You words, live the inferior life in preference to the superior-the genuinely successful life? Why cheat yourself of the advantages of life? Why deny yourself this super-energy, this super-power, and this super-activity of personality and mind, which is made easily and absolutely possible through progressive evolution-self-evolution-scientific evolution-personal evolution. How to Gain What You Want The way for you to gain what you want is by increasing your power of mind and body evolutionarily, so as to compel conditions to yield to your superior and irresistible energies. Conscious Evolution is the easy and sure means of making yourself supreme. Why Be Satisfied with Inferior Life? Why be satisfied or content with inferior vitality, inferior health, inferior energy, inferior digestion, inferior heart power, inferior lung power, inferior nervous system, inferior brain power, inferior memorizing power, inferior reasoning power, inferior sensing power, inferior scheming power, inferior business power, inferior conscious power, and inferior personal power? Why not attain the vital power of supremacy? More Daily Results "A year ago I was down and out financially and physically. I was a wreck. Conscious Evolution gave me power of mind and health.

Every one whom I have ever met who has tried it out, has the same thing to say about it. Was talking to a man to-day whose wife is a Swoboda enthusiast." "Your system is direct, simple, scientific, effective, and makes one feel so invigorated. As an athlete and a physician, I endorse Conscious Evolution unreservedly. It is, and more, what is claimed for it." too good to be true. It is something as I felt when I took my first trip to Bermuda, where nature has combined the blending of dainty coloring so exquisite that nothing short of fairy land can describe it. This is how Conscious Evolution causes me to feel. from Conscious Evolution cannot be measured by any "I can honestly say that the benefits I have received payment of money, and I can say unhesitatingly that your system far exceeded my fondest hopes."

These Rare and Amazing Books Are For You Swoboda has published for distribution two remarkable books which explain his system of Conscious Evolution and what it has already done. Write for these books-not because Conscious Evolution has meant so much to 262,000 other men and women, not because there is scarcely a prominent family in the country that hasn't at least one member a pupil of Swoboda, but because they contain valuable ideas for you. Conscious Evolution is being personally used by many of the most prominent physicians and such men as Woodrow Wilson, Charles E. Hughes, the Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts, the Goulds, the Huntingtons, the Cudahys, the Armours, the Swifts, and McAdoos for advancing themselves in energy, health, vitality and power of personality. Write for these books, because they mean so much to YOU in multiplied living power, earning power and personal power. They are filled from cover to cover with the vital facts about yourself and how you can acquire the degree of power in body and mind that you so consciously or unconsciously desire. They explain the dangers of excessive deep breathing, excessive exercise, and excessive muscular development, also the fallacy of conscious control of physiological processes. Swoboda, himself, is perhaps the most perfect example of what Conscious Evolution can accomplish. As Swoboda gains in years, he grows younger in enthusiasm, younger in vitality, younger in health; he is becoming stronger, more energetic, more confident, more dominant and more alive by capitalizing his creative powers through Conscious Evolution. What Swoboda is accomplishing for himself, you too can accomplish every individual can accomplish, for every individual is governed by the same laws and principles, and every individual has it within himself to make use of these laws and principles. Swoboda's mind and body are so alert and so active that in his presence one feels completely overpowered. His personality dominates everything with which it comes in contact; yet Swoboda is real!-there is absolutely nothing mysterious about him. He knows not what fatigue is-he is a tireless worker. He delights in making sick people well and weak people strong. He loves his work because he feels he is of benefit to humanity-making a better, more vital, more potent race of men and women. Swoboda is not only a mental superman, but a high-powered physical dynamo, an unheard of combination.

With universal consent his eleven ships were broken to pieces. The influence of Cortez must have been unbounded to be able to persuade his men to an act unparelleled in history. Six hundred men voluntarily cut off their means of escape and shut themselves up in an unknown country filled with warlike people, whose mode of warfare spared their prisoners only for torture or sacrifice. Soon he defeated, made peace with, and added six thousand Tlaxcalan warriors to his force. At Cholula his forces destroyed six thousand natives without the loss of a man. This town was only sixty miles from the capital of Mexico. The capture and death of Montezuma soon followed. On Lake Tezcuco Cortez launched the first navy on American waters, and the fall of the Aztec dynasty soon ensued. Prescott says: "Yet we cannot regret the fall of an empire which did so little to promote the happiness of its subjects or the real interests of humanity. They had ruled over their wide domains with a sword instead of a scepter. The empire of the Aztecs did not fall before its time. Its fate may serve as a striking proof that a government which does not rest on the sympathies of its subjects cannot long abide; that human institutions when not connected with human prosperity and progress must fall. And who shall lament their fall?" Buffalo, New York. G. R. GREEN.

The affair, it says, happened at night near Nairobi. The chauffeur noted a commotion in the bush near the road, then the gleaming eyes of an enraged wild animal. He accelerated his speed at the instant the lioness leaped. She struck the hood and was thrown far in advance of the car, whose wheels then passed over her. The dead lioness was finally loaded into the car and taken back to the town in triumph. Sanford Bennett at 50 An Old Man at A Young Man T Sanford Bennett at 72 Fiftyat Seventy The Remarkable Story of Sanford Bennett, a Former San Francisco By V. O. HERE is no longer any occasion to go hunting for the spring of Eternal Youth. What Ponce de Leon failed to discover in his world-famous mission, ages ago, has been brought to light right here in staid prosaic America by Sanford Bennett, a former San Francisco business man. He proved it, too, right in his own person. At 50 he was partially bald. At 70 he had a thick head of hair, although it was white. At 50 his eyes were weak. At 70 they were as strong as when he was a child. At 50, he was a worn-out, wrinkled, brokendown, decrepit old man. His cheeks were sunken, his face drawn and haggard, his muscles atrophied. Thirty years of chronic dyspepsia had resulted in catarrh of the stomach, with acid rheumatism periodically adding its agonies. At 70 he was in perfect health, a good deal of an athlete, and as young as the average man of 35. All this he has accomplished by some very simple and gentle exercises which he practiced for about ten minutes before arising in the morning. Yes, many of the exercises are taken in bed, peculiar as this may seem. As Mr. Bennett explains, his case was not one of preserving health, but one of rejuvenating a weak, middle-aged body into a robust old one, and he says what he has accomplished anyone can accomplish by the application of the same methods, and so it would seem. All of which puts the Dr. Osler theory to shame. There isn't room in this article to go into a lengthy description of youth and the prevention of old age. All this he tells himself in a book which he has written, entitled "Old Age-Its Cause and Prevention." This book is a complete history of himself and his experiences, and contains complete instructions for those who wish to put his health and youth-building methods to their own use. It is a book that every man and woman who is desirous of remaining young after passing the fiftieth, sixtieth, seventieth, and as Mr. Bennett believes, the one hundredth mile-stone of life, should read. It is a truly remarkable contribution to health-building literature and is especially valuable because it has been written in a practical manner by a practical man. Keeping young is simply a matter of knowing how. If you have vitality enough to keep alive, then you have enough to keep young, to keep strong and to be active. Sanford Bennett proves it to you in this book. His message is new. The point of view is unique. The style is fascinating. The pictures are plentiful. The lesson of physical rejuvenation is irresistible. This is a book for every man and woman-young or old.

And beware of this: Don't let yourself be talked into buying a cheaper varnish, for Valspar is worth double the price of an ordinary varnish, though it costs very little so critical and difficult as that comprising the last eight days of April. In those eight days occurred the issuance of President Wilson's ultimatum to Italy concerning Fiume and Dalmatia ; the consequent threat of the disruption of the Peace Conference by the retirement of Italy; renewed presentation of the difficulties involved in the relations of Japan to the Peace Conference with reference to China; the arrival of the vanguard of the German peace delegation at Versailles; the presentation of the report on international labor legislation; the publication of the arraignment of the Kaiser; and the adoption by the plenary Conference of the revised Covenant of the League of Nations. That the controversy over the question of Fiume and Dalmatia broke out in public at the very time when the advance guard of the German delegation was coming to Versailles is due probably to the fact that it was no longer possible to continue the discussion of this question behind closed doors with the date for the conclusion of the drafting of the peace treaty approaching so near. Exactly what happened to bring about a crisis over this question is a subject of disagreement. Just at the time when it was reported that the Italian delegates were prepared to make some compromise on their claims in the Adriatic, there was published here, as well as in Paris, a statement by President Wilson in which he declared himself and America as opposed to the assigning of Fiume to Italy and also opposed to the arrangement for the assignment of territory to Italy on the Dalmatian coast, The President's statement was in brief as follows: Italy's arrangement with England and France upon entering the war is no longer valid because the circumstances have changed. New Powers have entered the war. Austria-Hungary has ceased to exist, and some of the constituent parts of MAY 7, 1919 Austria-Hungary are now associated with the Allies. It is the business of the Peace Conference to protect these newcomers as well as the more powerful states and to make peace according to the "clearly defined principles" which he had enunciated when America entered the war. According to these principles Fiume cannot be assigned to Italy, and according to these principles also there is no further strategic reason for assigning Dalmatian territory to Italy. The President concluded his statement with an appeal to Italy to be magnanimous and to assume a leadership in the new order of Europe. The Prime Minister of Italy, Vittorio Orlando, head of the Italian Peace Delegation, at once declared that it was impossible to continue participating in the Peace Conference because the President's statement was an appeal to the Italian people over his head, and that he could not continue negotiations until he had gone to Italy and ascertained whether this appeal against the Italian Government was or was not to be indorsed by the Italian people. He and his associate, Signor Sonnino, thereupon went to Italy and were received by an ovation in which all elements of the population united. Accompanied with this ovation were.expressions adverse to President Wilson but not to the American people. Apparently the effect of the President's appeal has been to strengthen the Orlando Government very greatly. INTERNATIONAL LABOR PROPOSALS While these disputatious matters were under discussion at the Conference, there was published one of the most important of the reports that have been prepared during the Peace Conference. This is the report of the Commission on International Labor Legislation. The subject with which it deals is of concern to a vast proportion of the population of the world and bears directly upon the chief problems following the war. It is possible here to consider only one point in that report. It is proposed that labor legislation suggested by the Annual Labor Conference of the League of Nations shall be submitted to each nation separately, and that such measures as are recommended be submitted within a year to the national legis lature or other competent authority of lature or other competent authority of every member of the League. There is of course no power that can compel the adoption of such legislation, and there is no proposal, as we understand it, to make conditions of labor a subject for international action. Any such proposal would be impracticable. It would seem perhaps at first sight that the plan of the Commission for International Labor Legislation provided for nothing that was not available now; but a little more careful consideration will show that the plan has great possibilities of usefulness. At present there is no means by which standards for conditions of labor that are universally regarded as desirable can be formulated in a way to make a world-wide impression; and certainly no arrangement exists by which measures that have the approval of the working people of the world can be brought authoritatively before the various national parliaments. Now, by this plan, conditions of hardship affecting large numbers of people will be studied, and remedies proposed; and the recommendations made will have the support of a public opinion of international extent. THE KAISER TO BE TRIED Largely counterbalancing the rather discouraging reports concerning some other matters in the Peace Conference comes the announcement of the proposed articles for the arraignment of the Kaiser. There has been in the Peace Conference a difference of opinion concerning the action that ought to be taken against those responsible for the war or for the offenses against humanity perpetrated during the war. According to one view there was no law or authority under which the German High Command could be held accountable. Those holding this view argued that the very purpose of the arraignment of the Kaiser would be to uphold law, and if action were taken without authority of law, it would be a violation of the alleged object of the action. Therefore, it was argued, any criminal action should be taken by individual nations in whose territory plain and clear violations of law occurred. According to the other view, there is a public law of nations, partly embodied in treaties and in written agreements, but also equally validly embodied in custom and practice. Those who hold this view regard it as important that if this public law of nations is to remain valid, international action should be taken avowedly under that international common law. It is evident that in the Commission |
