Through the NH

Let a hardened victim of the glowing ads" that appear these days tell of his experiences;
 A memory course Suddenly remembered all the bills I owed, that my best girl tilted me, that my wardrobe was inadequate, and hundred other things it was so nice to forget.
 A course in physical perfection Grew so strong that my ex- penses for meals trebled and l gave up hours to exercise l should have devoted to business.
 A course in material advance ment Soon thought I was worth more to my concern than the boss and asked such a big raise that I was fired.
 A course In etiquette Did fairly well before, but began to be so obsessed by the necessity of do- ing all things right that l did everything wrong.
