reliable commissioners at the track
named or selected.
Those who give tips for considera-
ton of from 81 to $40 day send their
information by letter or wire each day
to their customers, who are supposed
to be able to place their bets at will.
Then there are many commissioners
who advertise that they are in pc.
sition to place wagers at the track or
in poolrooms all over the country for
a percentage of the winnings, and the
accounts of their customers are set
tied each day, or each week, or on de-
mand. 1t is unreasonable to suppose
tnat all the money sent to these COM
missioners could be invested at any
one track, and the mailing scheme is
simply subterfuge for making an
individual book in many instances.
Neither the tipsters nor the COM
missioners nor the firms which COM
bine both information and the placing
of bets on it give any guarantee of
winning, but they are blindly trusted
by those who believe that they are
being furnished with the most exclu-
sive information, which in the long
run must turn out to be both correct
and profitable.

thousands of circulars broadcast
throughout the United States few
weeks ago, in which they said:

business five years ago last August
Since that time we have used a per-
centage-winning system which has en-
abled us to pay weekly dividend Of
not less than per cent. We have
not missed one single weekly dividend
and have paid in the five years divi-
dends amounting to $1,360 on 500

States mails. II we had failed to do
as we promised the postal authorities
would have stopped our mail long ago.

for we must be perfectly square or
stand to be convicted for using the
mails for fraudulent purposes"

INVESTORS LOSE MONEY
"Get-Rich- Quick" Concerns Have Got Away
With Enormous Sums Belonging
To Depositors.
To Depositors.

A. j. Arnold, the head of the turf
investment company which went to the
wall in st. Louis, has sailed higher
and fallen harder than any schemer
who ever tackled the turf as q way to
riches. Other plungers on the turf
have been known for their own indi-
vidual losses or gains. Such men as
Riley Grammar, "Pittsburg PHIL and
others played for themselves. When
they lost they were the only losers.
It was different with Arnold. He
couldn't lose.
Arnold was born schemer. He be-
gan scheming when he was 20 years
of age, and he Is now AZ. He began
with nothing, and the reports say that
he has failed for about $2,000,000. 1t
is something of trick to be able to
fail for such an amount, and In that
respect Arnold has been magnificent
success.
Arnold began carefully and did not
seek notoriety. He was way down at
the start and handled 10-cent pieces.
Later he got hold of some half dollars
and about ten years ago he began to
handle paper money. He never an
tagonized anyone. He kept plugging
and his friends believe now that he
never meant to cause any patron to
lose money. Arnold had an idea that
he could do something that can never
be done, so his friends say.
Here was Arnolds scheme in his
own words: IF you had $4,000 in
cash, a good jockey, string of good
horses and facilities for finding out
what was going on, don't you think
you could turn out few hundred dol
lars profit every week? Well, that is
just what / am doing, and the few
hundred on every $4,000 that | have
enables me to pay per cent interest
every week. If intended to bust, you
don't think l would buy race horses
and farms and other things that could
be seized, do you? Not much; IL I was
a crook | would be doing business in
a different way"
Arnolds argument won. In the lat
ter part of 1900 he had enough money
to establish his cooperative business
and to advertise it. Money began to
flow in and Arnold began to pay out
8 per cent a week. The investors got
the interest and the principal back If
they wanted it. Arnold began to buy
farms; his name appeared in the daily
newspapers as a prominent factor on
the turf. One day he made a big kill
ing at st. Louis and people read about

and the harvest he is reaping is enor-
nous. Women are the chief custo-
mers. In Japan the average woman
takes from three to six baths every
day. Each time she prepares the
water with toilet lotions, and applies
them also after the plunge has been
taken. Witch hazel Is comparatively
new in japan and China, but 1t is a
prime favorite. The latest fad In
witch hazel is for violet color, and
large shipments of it have been made
from New York to the far East.

WAYS OF BETTING CONCERNS.
Some Of the Various Kinds of So.
Called Turf Investment Schemes,

There are at least four kinds of con-
Germs connected with horse racing
schemes for making money, which
may be classed as follows: Co-opera-
tive companies, which give informa-
ton and place commissions on one or
more races each day, as well as invest
ing money in the purchase OF horses,
racing, and breeding establishments;
information and commission bureaus,
information or tipping associations,
and commissioners who either place
wagers or profess to do SO at the
various tracks or in the large pool
rooms in different parts of the coun-
try.
Columns, and in many instances
whole pages, of sporting and daily
newspapers are nsed by organizations
and individuals in displaying the

It. The result was he received more
money for his scheme.
The Arnold scheme succeeded so
well that others initiated 1t. Millions
of dollars were invested. The turf, of
course, could never pay such rates of
interest and the schemers were forced
to pay interest out of receipts of Gus
toners. The receipts had to grow.
Withdrawals meant ruin. Arnold be-
ing the first in the field was naturally
the first to fail, because he handled
the most money.

Mysteries Of incubation.

To the novice there are no mystic
ries about incubators. He has read .
few things about them, and the way
seems plain. A man who had had moth
ing to do with incubators was telling
the writer of this how easy 1t was to
manage them. saying he proposed to
try one before long-''it would be so
interesting" His remark ELECTED the
inquiry: did you ever try one?" to
which he replied, "Oh, no, but 1t Is
easy enough" The man who has run
incubators knows that 1t Is not easy
enough" sometimes. The old hen 10
adjusted somewhat automatically; she
seems not to mind temperatures or
supplies of moisture, and in due time
brings off her hatch. But with the
incubator it is different. 1t must be
studied. The cheerful amateur soon
finds that there are mysteries about 1t
he has to learn or try to learn. He
has been told that certain locations,
as in the cellar, are the best places for
the incubator. He tries 1t and fails
to get good batch. He then puts
his incubator in some place he had
been warned against and succeeds.
Why? Then the temperature. He has
been told to keep his incubator at
1902 or 1913 degrees. He tries to do so.
But in a short time he finds that there
is a great variety Of temperature In
the incubator, the temperature OF the
eggs being one thing and over the
eggs another. He begins to wonder
where his standard of temperature 10
to be. He is given full instructions
on how to use the regulator and fol.
lows directions beautifully and suc-
csssfully generally, but now and then
It does not seem to give proper re-
suits and his eggs get too hot or too
cold. Why? The question of moisture
claims some of his attention. and he
begins to read up on the matter. Then
he discovers that poultry-raisers have
had all kinds of experiences with that
thing they call moisture. Alter q year
or two, the amateur discovers that
there are mysteries connected with
incubation, and he gets ready to in
