THE MAN WHO
FORGOT FREIGHT
How a Keokuk Resident Learned
that There Was no Saving
in the Mail Ord?r.
The story goes that the heads of
the house had made up a long list
from the Mail Order catalogue and
were just enclosing a money order for
$37.86, when Mr. Man of the estab
lishnient suggested that it might be
well to call up the freight department
of the C., B. Q. to ascertain the
amount that would be charged for
freight upon its arrival.
Yes, this is the Q.—Yes, the freight New Plan of Y. M. C. A. Meetings

Absence of vital power makes
the average man of middle age
worse oft in his ability to enjoy
life than the old fellow of CO odd

An eminent specialist who has
treated many of New York's
millionaire club men, and whose
fees range from $3,000 to $10,
000, recently consented to the
publication of a most valuable
formula, claiming that its mar
velous restorative powers over
the natural functions was such
as to cure the average man and
restore nature's sweetest bless
