WOMAH'S LIFE C|RCLE"
A Puzzle That Looks Simple,
but Who Can Do II?
MOI, ONE IN 4 MILLION.
lttC

Here is q puzzle. 1t looks simple 1t
seems simple. Yet not one person in a
million can solve il. They may have
been taught how to do it, but the fact
remains that they can't do it.
While at first blush this may seem of
little or no consequence to either man or
woman, the reader VIII presently zee that
this puzzle illustrates a principle that
bears directly upon the life and happiness
of every woman, and forms controlling
factor in every profession.
CAN YOU DO 1T?
The puzzle must be solved with piece
of paper, a pencil, the human eye, the
human hand and nothing else 1t is
simply TO make by one operation and
without lifting the pencil from the paper
circles like that shown i'll Figure 1. You
may be able TO make one such circle by
accident, but if you think you can make
twenty in Il day, i'll week, or even i'll u
month, just try it and get your friends TO
try il. The circles must not be like Fig
ure 2, but like Figure /. You will soon
find that this is not merely a case OF
know how" for everybody knows how.
1t is cage of know how" combined
with never fail" Not one of five hun
dred young men and women college grad
yates can do it. Not even the one who car
ried off the highest honors. The one who
can do 1t is
ONE AMONG MILLIONS.
He began just the same as everybody
else did, by learning how to draw. But
that's not the secret of his success: he made
u speciality TO drawing circles; he has been
dra wing thenall his life and pra CtiCe makes
perfect Give any woman a bow and ar
row give man a loaded revolver, and he
or she may sometimes hit the target and
possibly the center, but how many hundred
times Will they miss the marx. This fire.
quent failure, not only III target pra cticc,
but in everything else, is cue TO the fact
that not one person in a thousand makes
life speciality OF one thing-thc one thing
ne can do best-and keeps right on max
ing a speciality Of it until he becomes perfect.
PARIS DRESSMAKER
There is a woman dressmaker in Paris
who for thirty years has been noted the
world over Not once in hundred times
docs she fail to give a perfect fit, yet this
same woman made silk night-shirt for her
husband. and-nlade a failure II wasn't
a case of not knowing how for she had
learned how TO make clothes just as she
had learned how 10 draw; yet, Try as she
would, She couldn't even make a night
shirt for her husband THAT would fit any
more than she could draw a circle that
was perfect
A GREAT LAWYER
Daniel Webster, WHO was probably the
greatest constitutional lawyer that ever
lived, was once completely noored in Il
patent case by a lawyer who made 4 spe-
Cialty of such cases The know how
is the proper point to Start from, but it
is the pra Ctice-the daily, hourly, con-
stant practicc-that makes perfect The
woman who has one night-Shirt 10 make
in thirty years cannot bc an expert in
night-shiris, any more than the lawyer

can be an expert in patent cases. Tie

once a month, or, perhaps, once in ak
months, to treat this, that or the
! other complicated disorder may succeed
once in a great while, il nature comes to
the rescue, but he viii usually fail, not
withstanding the fact that re has studied
medicine, just as the lawyer had studied
law, and the woman had studied dress
making. The sum and substance OF it all
is that practice makes perfect.
EMP ERIENCE NEEDED.
1t is upon this theory, this principle this
practice, that the greatest and most sue

local doctor as a complicated case, one

| is as simple of treatment and sure of being
cured in this institution as is the drawing
of the perfect circle to that one man in a

practice makes perfect. 1t is case

A VAST EXPERIENCE.
After having treated, year after year,

meuts, Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting

Surgical Institute of Buffalo, n Y,
learned not only the perfect methods, but

cure such cases. SO absolutely reliable

weaknesses for which they are recon-

money paid for them were exceedingly
rare.
