SOMETHING FOR NOTHING"
and
PERPETUAL MOTION"

Are two things that have been upper
most in the minds of men from the
birth of science and merchandising
to the present day. Ancient Rome
was on the lookout for Something
for nothing" and the best efforts Of
the wisest men Of Greece were given
to the study Of Perpetual notion
We have seen an account where
some Yankee in Massachusetts has
discovered the Perpetual motion
and how is this for Something for
nothing?

porated institution, home Office Ard
more /. r., furnishes you a sick ben.
eft and accident insurance of S..
$40 or $50 week for any kind Of
disability, whether caused by sick
ness, disease or accident; also a fu.

turning each man his money paid in

plication. We will take Glass A, or
