1T wouldn't take long for those who

that to succeed in advertising re-

but praise for his remarkable psychic
perception.
Tonight and for the next few days
will give further opportunity to all
interested to consult this wonder

1t is hoped that DIR. McIvor-Tyn-
dali may be induced to remain in
Grand Junction, or at least to return
and give some of his marvellous pub
lie manifestations at either the Park
opera house or the Auditorium. Dur
ing his last visit here, some twelve
or fifteen years ago, he played to
crowded houses nightly at the opera
house and demonstrated his mysteri-
Gus occult powers to the wonder of
all beholders.
Besides the many well known cit
izens who called on DR.. McIvor-Tyn-
dali for private consultations this
week there was a large number of
people who called to subscribe for
the Swastilla Magazine. which is the
leading New Thought periodical of
the country and edited by DR.. McIvor-
Tyndall. 1t is devoted to Psychic
Science, New Thought, Metaphysics,
Socialism, the Solution of Personal
Problems. Ghosts, Spiritualistic Ex-
periences, Psychic Research and Cur
rent Topics.
The management of the SwastilSa
Magazine hope to be in touch with at
least one million people by the end OF
this year, and, as the subscription
list is daily growing rapidly, this
does not seem impossible. Anyway,
it must be said that anything that
Dr. McIvor-Tyndall undertakes has
wonderful radiation for success,
and a magazine with the fortunate
name "Swastika''-a symbol that
stands for the highest, best and most
brotherly. as we'll as being recognized
as a good luck" Sights success
should undoubtedly be as the motto
of the magazine is: Victor of Life
and Silence. Stand Upon the

continue to vibrate success, health
and happiness. for Dr. McIvor-Tyn-
dali and the Swastika Magazine. as
he has done for this city.

next few days DIR. McIvor-Tyndall

with the knowledge that S has a yell

that the 5 mark is pure golden. Carry

But these color tones in letters and
