digestive organs, fills tho lungs with
ozone and gives the owner brighter
and moro cheerful outlook. It has
done more for the general health than
oil the gymnasiums that were ever
erected. Its fascination is 80 great
that even the churches complain Of
sparse attendance, and the box Offices
at the theatres assume rather lugu.

glum because people would rather
drive the wheel than attend balls, and

has taken place in public opinion.

HOW TO GET UP a CENTURY"
CLUB.

And Secure the Reading of the Greatest OF
Four Dollar Magazines for One Dollar.
Everybody wants to take The Cen
fury during the coming year on account
of its serials, ''Campaig ningw with Grant"
written by Grants friend and staff of
ficer, Gen. Horace Porter, and the
novel of the American revolution,
Hugh Wynne, Free Quaker" in which
Washington is one of the characters.
The Century costs $500 n year, and
many people are clubbing together in
groups of four, each one securing the
reading of the magazine one week in
the month.
If you want The Century in 1897 (and
who does not?) a little work among
your friends will result in finding three
others who want it too. Get one dol
lar from each of them, and send $500
to The Century Company, Union square,
New York, for a years subscription.
Begin with December, and the publish
ers will send you the November num-
Der free, in which these serials begin.
There are many dollar magazines, but
there is nothing like The Century, and
by this arrangement it will cost you NO
more than q cheap magazine.
