THE Bread and Milk Club has thrown
i open the doors and will be glad to con-
slider applicants for membership. We want
only preferred risks. No downright sick
people with one +. in the g. need apply. The
charter prohibits the acceptance of such
applicants. The Grub was originally or.
ganized for the near-invalid, the over-fed,
autotoxemic, bilious. sedentary liver-pill-
consuming, too stout. plethoric individual
who thinks he or she isn't in need of med
ical attention. We can accommodate a
number of new members, and we extend a
special invitation to business men. Office
men, clerks, professional people, house
wives who hire all the work done, and all
other persons who take life too easy after
the age of thirty. Applicants under thirty
must show cause why they should be con-
sidered at all.
Under no circumstances can the rules and
regulations be varied or suspended to meet
the convenience or whims of members Any
one who wishes to retain his standing in
the club must confne himself rigidly to his
bread and milk all day Monday every week.
No halfway compromise will do. Be a
hero, or else keep out. One of the prime
motives In the institution of the Bread and
Milk Club was to teach the public that II
is not fatal to skip a few meals now and
then. for the sake of the liver, lights and
other organs that have more than they can
do disposing of the excesses ordinarily
poured in upon them.
1t is very simple. The initiate opens
his eyes on blue Monday and calmly pours
his bowl of certified milk and drinks it
slowly and deliberately, munching a cracker
OF two or cronching on n small slice of
homemade bread to encourage the startled
hormones, Then, regularly by the clock. |
he repeats the process at intervals of two, |
three or four hours all day long, as he |
prefers. II very stout and very bilious and |
very susceptible to administration, once |

nonials that would induce riot among the |

Comes this big-hearted girl with her

about that letter that 1 like 1t is SO clear

she has only her time and her sympathy

the biggest gifts any one could make.

young girl has to offer. Perhaps r. N. s.

of dancing and golf and swimming and

young woman-her letter testifes to
that.

hobbies she has dreamed of ENJOYING. |
