Advice to Scorchers.

Don't make u gorilla OF yourself, but
sit up like a man. We mean you cam
el-back fellows who think you look
pretty on the bike when you go scorch-
ing and shifting along like a dog on
the trail Of a skunk. You are liable
TO get curvature of the spine and other
deformlties, besides you cut figure
that would have disgraced the dark
ages. Raise the handle-bar and sad
die and thereby gain the respect and
confidence of your fellow man. Ifyou
could only see yourself us other people
see you, we believe you would brace
up and look like somebody.
