Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send For Brooks
Rupture Appliance

/. It is absolutely the only Appliance
Of the kind on the market today, and
in It are embodied the principles that
inventors have sought after for years,
2. The Appliance for retaining the
rupture cannot be thrown out Of posi-
ton. e.. .' ,: .".
3. Being an air cushion Of soft rub
Der 1t clingS closely to the body. yet
never blisters or causes Irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-calied pads,
uaad IN other trusses, It IL not cumber-
some or ungainly.
3. It IL small. soft and pliable, and
positively cannot be detected through
the clothing. ....:
6. The soft. pl!able bands holding the
Appliance do not give one the unpleas-
ant sensation Of wearing a harness
!. There Is nothing about it to get
foul. and when it becomes soiled II can
be washed without injurine it in the
least. ~ -
g. There are no metal springs In the
Il appliance to torture one by cutting and
bruisinR the flesh. -.'
9 All OF tine material of which the
ApT l:anoes are made Is Of tho very best
that money can buy. making II a dura-
be and safe Appliance to wear.
TO- My reputation for honesty and
fair dealing Is so thoroughly established
by an experience Of over thirty years
Of dealing with the public, and INV
prices are so reasonable my terms SO
fair. that there certainly should be no
hesitancy in sending free coupon today.

Here is club where the president
must do the bidding of the most humble
of the members;
Where the board of governors are
literally the official club chefs;
Where more attention is paid TO the
equipment of the kitchen than to the
assembly room;
Where pull is far more necessary to
relinquish office than to gain It.;
Where no card game is ever played,
but where pool and quoits and domi-
noes are the order of the day;
And where the festive oyster and the
retiring clam are made the subject Of
world famous roasts.
In short, 1t is the Social Oyster Club,
whose home stands near Twelfth street
and Rhode Island avenue northeast,
and Of whose hospitality people of note
from all over the world have partaken.
Washington has long been famed for
its dining clubs. But few Of the many
such organizations which have flourish
ed here have rivaled the Social Oyster
Club in it's unusual features.
It was founded fourteen years ago,
and today has a limited membership of

When the club was first established
it occupied a small building down back
of the Bureau Of Engraving and Print
ing, and was founded upon principles
of absolute democracy. Masons and
Elks and knights Of Columbus mingle
freely in the Social Oyster Club roasts.
No word of politics is ever allowed to
intrude, the name of no woman can
be mentioned within the club precincts.

the nomination and approval Of any
member for office makes his acceptance
compulsory. and should his services
prove successful, it Is difficult matter
for him to vacate his Office. In fact,
when an officer has proved competent,
it is necessary for him to resort to all
sorts Of club influence before he is H.
lowed to rel,nquish his duties.
In this way the presidents Of the club
frequently hold office three o- four
years at q time.
