An Editorial by
Bernarr MaCfadden

Dumb, narrowing misery then comes TO those
whom you have loved more than life itself
Are you protecting yourselves and those you love
against heartrending tragedy of this sort2
Yourlife dependsuponthe strength of your heart beat
1t depends upon the vgor of your digestive organs
1t depends upon the quality of the blood that is
pumped through your body
Vitality is necessary to life, and vital vigor cannot
be acquired and maintained unless one gives his BODY
that particular care necessary to maintain normal
strength throughout every part
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1924-05-07

Muscular exercise that keeps the body vigorous
throughout that pumps the blood into every minute
part of the tissues. insures normal vigor and when
accompanied with proper amount of wholesome
food, bathing and general care, you have life insur-
ance that cannot be financially computed.
II is worth more than money to you. II is worth
a thousand times more than ordinary life insurance
that pays a few dollars TO those you love after
you are dead and gone.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1924-05-07

But death when you have a
family growing up around you,
when you have loved ones to
depend upon you; when the
warmth of a kiss from a loving
wife fingers on your lips; then
death scourges the soul of
those you have left behind as
red hot iron would scar the
living flesh
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1924-05-07

learn your duty to yourself and to those you love-
Remember that death does not come in a moment.
1t is gradual process. The vital forces become
lower and lower and still lower and finally the heart
ceases to beat
The power is shut off, The body becomes a
weak, soft mass of inert tissue - Death is then
inevitable.

COOL COMFORT IN SHIRTS

TF mans dress be regarded merely
 as a covering, it is an uninterest-
 ing subject. Adam solved that problem. If, however, a mans dress be regarded as an evidence of taste, an expression of personality and sym bol of success, it becomes worthwhile accomplishment. Whether it's putting on coat or putting up a cathedral, what counts is the spirit in which you approach the task. This much is cer- tain-the world takes you at your face value, so don't mark yourself down by indifference to appearance.
 Traditionally, "the linen of a gentle man" has been the mark of the man who prizes the "big, little" niceties of dress, and while linen alone is not so much used in the present-day shirt, its smartness and appropriateness, because half hidden ,are still an index to taste and refinement. Notwithstanding the increasing preference for color in shirts, as in all accessories of wear, many men cling to the plain white shirt, especially during warm weather, because it looks crisp and cool and also because it har- monizes with any suit and scarf Even the mediocre hatcher cannot go astray.
 The white shirt, reproduced here, is typical of its sort for field and country. Made of soft white oxford or cheviot,

was all due to him, and seemed as de- pendent upon his. good offices as she had been before the premiere. While she was resting in her dress ing room after her performance a card was brought up to her. It was that of the Count Mordac. On it was writ ten: But five minutes-if you will favor me"
 Stirred by an unaccountable, impulse, Elise decided to see him, despite the edict of Brunei. It was, perhaps, just Ia little evidence of pardonable vanity that she should interview this man who had known her when she was at the feet of Lolette.
 It came in smiling suave, at his ease, and he bent low over the hand she ex- tended to him.
 An old worshipper at a new shrine, mamomoieselle. If it is not impertinent may I offer my heartiest congratula- tions and tender my good wishes?"
 It pleased Elise. Before, in Nor dac's attitude, despite his smooth polite ness, there had always been a little hint of condescension, probably unin- tentional; but now there was an ac- knowledgement of at least equality and perhaps of superiority. He was a man well fitted for indicating the subtler shades of thought and emotion, and Elise would have been less than wo- man had she not appreciated to the full the compliment of the change in him.
 She tried to answer him in kind. Does monsieur then forget each shrine at which he bends his knee on discoy- ering the. next?"
 He smiled at her. There is only one, ademoiselle-always. It is the one at which one worships' He had called with an object. He was a keen judge of character, and he could not conceive of this girl sacrific- ing herself on the altar of success with out some good reason and without a | fight. He theorized that she was gam bling against Brunei, that she might think to become famous danseuse with out paying the penalty Brunei exacted from all those beautiful women who passed through his hands to great sue cess or dreadful failure.
 Yet, despite this resolve, she was ignorant of the world as Mordac knew it, and he considered Brunei might be too strong for her unless she received advice-indirect advice such as he knew how to give--on the strength of her position.
 Mordac would never have achieved his stupendous wealth in the realms of commerce had he not been able to sum up situation with a certain un- canny precedence which almost amount ed to clairvoyance.
 This situation of Elise he had gauged to it's narrowest limits. Elise, he thought, still depended on Brunei. As yet, she did not realize that, with her terrific success the world was at
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-05-15
CHAPTER 24-PORTENTs

The metamorphosis of Elise was nec- essarily swift. It took but little while to transform the shy, hesitant little girl of the Rue Jacques into that strange exotic creature who, as La Phalene, at once electrified, mystified and in- trigued all Paris. Certainly circum- stances were favorable to the rapid change. There was the shortness of her life, the sudden transition from pow erty to wealth, the volume of flattery which, from the first, was heaped on her head, and-last and most potent of all-the bitterness engendered by Ken drick's defection and the attitude of those men who gathered about her.
 Further-she was playing for high stakes. She wanted all the money she could get 1; for within a year she would be gone, and that wealth which she managed to obtain during the year would be all Marthe would have to live on. So that she must play her part, and play it we'll, in order to win through.
 On the second night of her showing her dressing room at the Joyeuse was beseiged by admirers, all of whom, how ever, were rigidly excluded by Brunei, under the excuse that La Phalene was as yet not prepared to receive anybody, as she was comparatively new to the theatre, and found her performance a great strain,
 However, they left their cards, with flowers and chocolates and costly pres ents, and Elise found herself the pos sessor of some two score pieces of paste- board, some of them bearing famous names.
 Her show was a greater triumph than ever. Its initial success has given her a great confidence, and she no longer considered the, audience with something like dread, but actually look ed forward to the moments when, from the stage, she should sway it to her will, enthrall it, grip it, and hold it until she cared to release it.
 Again the applause was OverWhelm- ing. Again she was forced to make a speech. Brunei declared that her re- ception was unprecedented in all his theatrical experience, and he watched her carefully while he said it to see if she yet realized exactly what it all meant. But apparently she did not She thanked him, emphasizing that it
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-05-15
CHAPTER 23-BEWILDERMENT THERE is an intoxication in fame

especially fame achieved over night-which is more potent than of any wine. Elise, within twenty-four hours, found herself great. And in the discovery nearly lost herself. It was stupendous. She had never be- fore realized exactly what it could mean. ] On the morning following her triumph she was beseiged with visitors, reporters, charity hunters and the merely curious, with, among them all, great sprinkling of male admirers.
 She saw some of the reporters and one other. He was Brunei. It is possible that at that juncture Brunei began to see what Lolette had already perceived, namely, that Elise might become too big for him to han dle, so great that she was beyond the sphere of his influence. Just as Lo- lette had planned to ruin her by mak- ing of her a dancer, so Brunei had planned to gain her for himself by al lowing her to taste the first fruits of success and then by threatening to withdraw those fruits unless she com piled with his wishes.
 Now things were different. La Pha- lene seemed likely to lift herself above all his sphere of influence. She might become so wonderful that she could command contracts at her own price and at her own whim. In effect, La Phalene would be a possession of the public of the world and out of the hands of any theatrical producer.
 But she must not kno wthis. Brunei conceived it possible that Elise's innate simplicity would blind her to it, and that she would see in him the one person who had made her and upon whom her continued success depended.
 In this he was largely right.
 When they were alone, and the last of the reporters had left them, he said /: Well, what do you think of yourself now, little one?"
 She was gIoriously flushed and her her eyes were alight. Her excitement was visible in her every gesture and movement. The glamor of it all was heavily upon her, and she was threat ening to break under the load of her own success.

 He recommended the re-establish- .ment of the chemical factories in the Don and Kuban districts, together with ,organization of new ones which during peace could manufacture materials for agricultural purposes.
