lighting speech, in which he very properly
exposed all other belts, showing what frauds
they are. he offered his for sale. 1t was so

out in such a striking. telephone light, that
four spectators could not stand the pressure,
and SO handed up their four bit pieces and
received cure all. 0ther belts cost from So
to &50.a big saving. After trying their cop

be ready to transform them into coat hold
