The strange looking assortment of
devices would have baffied even a

stood a contrivance that looked IKE
a bundle of motor-driven rolling pins.
It was a portable rejuvenator, con.

with closely spaced rollers of irreg-
ular shape. The rolling kneadtng
and massage action of the rollers
breaks down fat tissues and slim
ulates muscular activity and blood
circulation. In short, 1t gives physl-
cal exercise without taxing the heart.
There were so many exhibits OF
violet ray apparatus that the inqulr,
ing flappers could scarcely get around

human flesh Is heir. Not only Will
they improve the complexion and re-
